Hello LPers

I'm both pleased and saddened to welcome you to my blog; saddened because such a welcome implies that I do indeed (now) HAVE a blog, which is itself a somewhat disappointing thought. But I'm a hypocrite, so fuck it.

I figure I'll write the standard "here's my story" story, cuz everyone seems to love those. So, okay...

Started playing poker online last summer (06) after I met Day9 (and a mutual friend) at the college where I was researching over the summer. Played recreationally with mixed results during the summer and early fall. I tried to stop playing many times and focus on school, but inevitably I ended up back on this goddamn website looking at hands, reading threads, etc. It was actually BigBalls' 2/4 FR video that inspired me to get serious about poker, as it totally blew my mind the way he played a LAG, highly position-dependent style of play. From there I started (way under-rolled, of course) playing NL25 and became fairly successful.

I ran hot as fuck and was playing 600NL FR by a few months ago (using what some would consider poor bankroll management). Then, I hit a cold spell and cashed out most of my roll to buy a truck. I started over at 100NL about 2 months ago and I'm currently playing 400NL 6max.

I don't have PT on this computer so I can't post stats or graphs. Maybe next time. For now, here's some hands from my session last night:

Such a silly overbet.

I submitted this one as HOTW, which raszi quickly proceeded to call "standard". definitely NOT a standard call for me, so I'll take it as a compliment.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180281 - yup

On a side note, I just bought a new bike yesterday. It felt a little weird to spend $1k in a day and make it all back (+ profit) that evening. I'm still not totally used to mid-stakes profit, I guess. Anywho, here's a pic to liven this dull post up:

Ain't she sexy?
