Figured id start a blog to help keep me occupied during the day when im playing poker.

Quick Summary

For the most part im a part-time pla<x>yer. I have a small business here in Louisville - as well as a stupid girlfriend - which keeps me away from the poker tables sometimes. Ive played pretty much exclusively on Stars since the summer of 2003. I pretty much only played low limit MTT and SNGs up until the beginning of last year. And I did pretty well in them with a 192% ROI in over 825 tourneys. But i never really enjoyed not having the option to get up and go, or play whenever i wanted to (like in cash games). That said, i decided to give the ring games a try and had solid success. Played 100NL - mostly 6max - all year running 7.45 BB/100. At the end of last December on into the new year i went on somewhat of a downswing where i didnt really make any money and wound up having my first losing month ever in January. Somewhat discouraged i didnt play much poker (there were a few weeks where i'd try a play as much as i could) up until the end of June.

Jan. 1 through mid June:

I treated myself to a few vacations this summer and when i got back from my last one in June i needed to make some money (summer months are slow with my business). I had cashed out half my bankroll so ive been playing mostly 50nl 6max since then. Havent had the luxury of keeping all my winnings in my account so im not back at 100nl just yet. I have put in almost 4k hands at 100nl but nothing crazy.

June 21st through today:

As fars as poker goals, i dont really have any except trying to move back up to 100nl as soon as posible. Like i said, ive been hampered with having to make a few cashouts for living expenses. But im almost half way to Supernova where im looking forward to cashing in a few $1500 bonuses to add to my roll (unless i go concierge instead!).

Im not really sure how often ill be posting, but im looking forward to learning a lot and improving my poker game. Because I looooooooove $$$.

Best wishes at the tables.

Wow, stick to 50nl, it seems to be working for you.

Also - use some of those winnings to hire a coach, it'll pay for itself in one session I'm sure.
