my journey began in mid June when i bought in FT for $50. Almost 2 months later and after 70k+ hands my br stands over 1k! I wish i had followed this 20bi rule when i first started online poker about a year ago.

Most of my sessions were normally played during 9pm-5am PST due to work in daytime. During the start of my career ive always known i was a +ev tag player. But i had tons of leaks most importantly the buying in for 50bb etc. However the last couple of weeks ive honed my FR cashgame skills into what i feel will always be a +ev player in the FR 25-50nl field.

I cant wait to be on my own starting sept 9. Moving out of parents house for 2nd yr in college.
