Degen Chronicles

First of all, my name is Caleb Gunter, I live in the United States of America, and I am 18 years old.

Poker for me, thus far into my career of it has been basically a way for me to buy beer on the weekends and to pay off a few fines that I have unfortunately recieved. My bankroll has never exceeded 1k, however, I have made well over 1k profits from poker. I would consider myself an all-around balanced poker player including tournaments, ring play, and sng. Coming from my starcraft background I can multitable pretty well, and have played as many as 27 $6 9 man turbo sng at once, granted i had ~1% ROI in that session .

My style in poker is almost fearless, even when im underrolled i find myself playing as if I have 100buyins for my limit, which is a good and bad thing because it causes me to have a pretty swingy bankroll. I would consider myself a risk taker, playing NL50 on occasion with 6 buyins and moving down to nl25 when hitting $250 until I had $300 again but I would really like to quit doing that, quit cashing out every week, and really bare down and start grinding my way up the stakes because im pretty sure I could do really well.

To be honest, at this point in my career as a poker player, lowstakes bore me and i am playing almost purely tournaments hoping for a big cash to stake me for at least Nl100 and skip out on all the petty bullshit. I have on occasion came very close to this very glory only to be cut short on a terrible beat, or playing like a jackass(This hand almost made me want to quit poker, I know, I'm a faggot http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/125095) First prize in that tournament was 6.5k and i was the chipleader at that point in the tournament, 18 people left, and the villain was 3rd in chips, whatever im done bitching about it) I've never finished better then 6th in a big MTT and I think my biggest cash is something like $420.

As of right now, however, my bankroll is barely big enough to be playing anything other then the $1.50 18 man turbo sng and whenever my internet gets turned back on(we had a terrible ice storm this past weekend) I intend on grinding those back up to the 3's and the 3's back to the 6's where I can fund my tournament play safely.

This has became a bit longer then intended, however, I hope it interested you.
