I'm starting my blog to write about my ultimate quest to be ballin!
But first, I'll introduce you with my short poker history. I came here from TL.net, lead by curiousity, "why do all starcraft players started playing poker, whats so good about it?". Got interested. Espacially after I watched several episodes of High Stakes Poker.
So, as any noob, I don't wanted to risk my money, but really wanted to try out. Singed up for a free $50 on Titan Poker. Of course, the very first thing i did, was lose $40... Then somehow i caught up to $20 playing very tight shortstack microstakes. But such play can drive you mad, especially if you're new and still don't have the patience. So long story short, I went broke... Well ALMOST broke! I was left with about $0.5. This is where my ultimate quest to become a baller begins!
So you may ask "what can you do with $0.5?"
Here's the answer!
Yup! $0.1 BI tourneys lol! This shot is made after finishing second in 10ppl/0.1BI tourney. Before going broke, I already grasped a lot of things in microstakes, and I had practised microtourneys as well, so I obviously CAN win. It's just that, I sometimes lack the most important thing - patience!
So today is my second day of my quest and I'm glad to show you the results! A whooping $0.5 for a 1st place in same tourney! I've got a f*cking dolla now!!!
This tournament was really nerve-wracking, as I, being one of 4ppl left, was almost out with 500chips (BB=200), but my desperate all-in was called by the chip leader and I finally got lucky. Little by little rebuilding my way to top, I could finally feel the relief, when i had 13k vs 2k chips.
-----------------
So now, my friends, here I will ask for your guidance as to what would be a better way to complete my quest!
I will consider my quest as finished, when I reach $1000. Then I will start playing poker 
So my plan should be to play nanotourneys till i reach $5? $10? What should I do then?
And I also wanted to expand my knowledge by asking some simple questions:
Is overpair - a pocket pair that is higher that any card on the flop?
Is underpair - a pocket pair that is lower than the highest card on the flop?
What is "aggro"?
Ok, that's about it. Till next time and I hope there will be such! Wish me luck! >.<

overpair - pocket pair higher than highest card on flop. eg: 88 on 245 board
underpair - pocket pair lower than lowest card on board. eg: 88 on TJK board
aggro - an aggressive player, not checking/calling much, always betting/raising etc |
