Hi everyone,

First of all I would like to apologise if I appear to be repeating myself as I have already introduced myself on another forum thread. For those that haven't read it then here goes...

My name is Keith, I am 34 and I live in Oxfordshire.

I have been married for just over 3 years and we have 2 beautiful 22 month old twin boys.

I had been working full time ever since I left school but reduced my hours at work to 1 day per week last March so I could look after the boys on a full time basis.

I started playing poker in 2005 but was merely just a recreational player that would just pop onto Pokerstars every now and again for a bit of fun. I stopped playing in 2006 and it was only towards the end of last year when, after having a few conversations with various poker friends that I decided I would get back into it but only this time I would play properly.

I started researching poker on the net and stumbled across this site (one of the best things google has ever found for me). Since joining this site in September I have watched multiple videos on here, read various articles, etc. I had seen that this site offers excellent promotions to many poker sites but as I still had $17 in my Pokerstars account I thought I would try my luck there first.

I started playing 2 tables of 2nl for a couple of weeks and was making slow but steady progress - then I discovered Zoom. At first I thought Zoom was marvellous, I was getting through so many hands per hour and was enjoying it more than the regular tables...until I started losing. I noticed on Zoom that as quick as I was able to make a few $, I was able to lose twice as much. It didn't take me long to realise that for now, until I am a more competent player, Zoom is not right for me. I then went back to 2nl and continued the slow but steady progress I had been previously enjoying. My account now stands at a whopping $59 (helped by the fact that I won a $1 spin and go with a royal Flush).

I had been watching many videos on this site (mainly from Jon) and after watching his recent Sky series I thought I would try my hand there. I already had a Sky account so could not link my account to the promotions that this site offers. I played on there for a few weeks and was pretty much breaking even (maybe a couple of pound in the green but nothing too spectacular). I did enjoy the lack of HUDs on the site and after speaking to Senad from PokerVIP on multiple occasions I decided to move to Unibet so I could enjoy a site with no HUDs and also sign up through this site to get extra benefits.

I have been on Unibet for just over a week now and have only played with the freebies that Unibet gives at the start so far on the 4nl tables. I have, however, turned my free 10euros into just under 25euros and have also turned my 4euro Unibet UK tour token into a 100euro token so it s heading in the right direction (so far anyway).

I would like to say I aim to move from 4nl to 100nl this year but I think that is just aiming way too high so for now my target is to just play well, make money and to put in as much table time as possible whilst also putting in the effort to learn throughout and hopefully I can soon start moving up through the stakes.

I will keep posting up my progress on the page for whoever is interested in keeping tabs on someone slumming it at the very bottom hoping to work their way up through the stakes.
