About Me

I am a 28 year old average Joe born and raised in the UK, I am mainly a live MTT player with a pretty decent ROI%, I been playing online for a while now, Started playing just random tournaments here and there for a bit of fun never winning much at all,

2 months ago I started to get involved properly with online poker I started playing cash games at NL2, I started working with a coach last month and I was grinding NL2 FR tables 6 tables at a time and all seemed to be going well,....But Then... 25k hands ,a break even green line and a few UN repeatable swearwords later, I realised that grinding solely NL2 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week was completely destroying my sole,

I completely love the game of poker and I have played weeks on weeks of solid live tournaments but never felt the way I did after 2 months of grinding micro stakes cash, I think poker to me is pretty much what my working life is, I crave variety I couldn't do a job where I was standing in one place doing the same task all day everyday which is why I like my current(but not so well paid) job as a groundsman for a large shopping centre, one day I might be driving a road sweeper and cleaning car parks the next I could be jet washing entrances and walkways, no day is the same as the previous. ...and I love that , I guess im the same with poker when playing live I like a change in the type of tournaments I play, where I play them and the stakes I play at and so on.

SO..i have a new aim and objective I am not going to play one single game I am going to play 3 variations of cash, tournaments and SnG's, with my average Joe job and salary I am not in a position to constantly bankroll tournament after tournament knowing that it may be a while before actually cashing one so the plan is to play cash games to fund buy ins for SnG's and tournaments, it will also fund satellites into live events

How will it work

I currently have around $72 on pokerstars I will divide this into $50(25 buy ins) towards my cash game bankroll starting at NL2 and the other $22 or so that is left will be apart of my SnG and tournament fund

Any overall profit made from cash games will be split 50/50 so half will go to my cash game bankroll and the other half will go into my tournament fund

I also play a local pub poker league for a bit of fun costs me £3 a time but its pretty soft and with sometimes up to £45 up top (30 runners) its a decent little boost, I will put any profits from this towards my tournament fund

I will report each day/week on what cash sessions I have played, tournaments/sit n go's played and results and stats

I will also set myself some personal goals that will have an impact on the way I play, if im being honest a big part of my game is dealing with the mental side of poker which is why im reading this little piece of genius.



Something which I definitely plan to do more is to post hands for review and get involved in discussions with other members about strategy's and hands as this is something ive never really done until recently , After adding a few players on Skype and realising how much it can help my game


So with further ado lets get this party started..well I actualy started it yesterday so I will post them results up in the next post

thanks in advance for anyone reading this and please drop in and say hello
