I started online poker this year, with $15 from my coach Silver. I played 6 max and HU sngs on stars and ran my 15 up to $600 (including 100 from a propbet win). I work fulltime with pretty good pay so poker has been like a hobby.
I moved to full tilt in september because of rakeback and promptly ran into a big downswing which continues. I'm down to $200 from $600 and I'm taking a break till the new year starts.
I'll take my $200 and hopefully make something of it at the Full Tilt HU sngs next year. My goal is to become a winner at the 20s and grind out some extra money each month. The US dollar is strong vs the New Zealand dollar atm so that's extra motivation.
Please keep checking out the funky HU hands that I post and do reply if you disagree with my thought process comments or have something to add.
GL at the tables in the new year.

Hey, man that downswing sucks, sry bout that. But hey me and my friend are in a similar boat, we both work fulltime and we both started with a $30br. I just started playing like a month ago, and my friend is up to $700 br, just slowly trying to grind it up. Good luck to you next year, hope you do well.
Donking is like the Fall Out Boy of the new pokertards. Everyone thinks its sooo cool but theyre just retarded
