1st blog post...... my blog originally http://flounder44.blogspot.com/

Hello guys my name is Mark P... I started playing poker 6 months ago with 5 dollar SnG's then started playing 25NL for 4 months and hte last 2 months ive switched to 50NL. The last 7 days i think i can crush 50NL now, i think i won like 75% of my sessions 4tabling.

I played 25nl for about 4 months before switching to 50nl, also lots of cashing out buying in etc going broke bad BRM. I've gotten past that and im starting to build my roll without cashing out.

Im following a 10 buyin rule but i always buyin for half the stack, so in reality i have 20 buyins... i think when i reach 1k ill start buying in for fullstack and then move up in stakes. I reached my first grand and thought i owned 50NL very quickly. But i cashed out and lent around 400 bux and then lost the rest of my BR slowly on tournaments/cashgames. I rebought for 50 last week and ive been crushing 50nl since then. My roll is at 600 and im not gonna cahs out till i get my br going more.

my goals in poker is to become a high stakes player 2000NL++ etc...... and be sucessful. I know im gonna need a ton of luck and skill but were gonna find out how far i can go. Two things that stand in my way are my Parents and School. I've done really well on 5 -15 dollar tournaments of 100-150 players but I rarely play those now cuz of school (16 units) plus parents interrupting etc when im 3 hrs in!!! I always paly at friends house now just to get away from my parents. My parents are not fully aware im playing with any money... but hopefully ill convince them this summer to let me move out, by getting a part time job.

welcome!

I think a lot of people here will tell you to use a 20 buy in rule. It may not be necessary at lower limits, but when you start moving up you should. Also, it is not good to short stack, especially at lower limits when you certainly have an advantage over the whole table!

Welcome dude. You want to have the edge against your opponents. So you really want to buyin for max because it allow you to profit more with your good hands and gives you much more room to bluff.
