Background

The purpose of this blog is chronicle my poker play. I don't have a specific plan as to how I will do this, if I get something outlined I will post it.

A little background about how I came into playing online poker.

I started playing online poker seriously in mid January of 2007. A friend of mine had transferred me 200 dollars on PokerStars (from now on referred to as PS) sometime in late summer or early fall of 2006.

At this time I had only played 5-10 dollar 9 mans SNGs on Pokerstars from sometime in 2004-2005 until now, very casually as an entertainment type thing. I had never thought of really making money playing online or attempting to do it part-time, etc.

Over the next 5 months or so I was down about 50 dollars in a few hundred single table Sit and Goes (from now on referred to as STTs).

In mid January, at the advice of my friend, I decided I'd give playing poker online a semi-serious shot. I don't remember how it happened, but I decided to play 5 dollar Heads Up SNGs. Within a week or two I was down to 75 dollars. Over the course of playing, up until now, I have slowly climbed up and built my bankroll up. I went from 5 dollar regular speed SNGs, to 10 dollar ones, then to 11 dollar turbos, then back to 10 dollar regulars. I played a lot of 4 man HU SNGs as well during this time, and I have about 900 total HU games under my belt now. I am playing 22 dollar turbo HU SNGs at the present time, and have also played 20 dollar regular speed HU SNGs. I only play HU, I have played very little of anything else and do not plan to change this in the near future.

At the present time I've only played about 40 22 dollar HUSNGs, my bankroll at the current time is $731.78. I will list my bankroll at the bottom of each post.

That is about it right now for background into poker, I'll provide a more extensive background of my experiences playing live poker in my lifetime, and perhaps even a personal background if this blog is ever popular enough or it gets requested enough.
