2010

Did I update my blog weekly? Did I F*ck! LOL!

Ok, seriously, i'm gonna do it properly now.

Monday 12 October 2009

The Reasoning...

So just an explanation as to why I chose these targets.

1. Play 25,000 Hands.

This is so I can see how many hands I can achieve in my first full month. To give me some guideline for the forthcoming months.

2. Get PTBB/Hour +8

Why?? Well it's obvious, this gives me a guideline to how much i'm making per hour, the higher it is, the more I make.

3. Get BR upto $500.

This is so I can play 100BB deep, I recently found an article on 'Bankroll Boosting' Cliccccckkk. Which entails me playing 50BB deep and getting my money in with the best, Have a look. I'd like to thank this article for getting me back into Poker. As soon as I hit $500, i'm going to seriously consider 100BB deep, but for now, I'll be playing with 50BB.

4. Play 100+ SnG's.

I've decided I don't play enough SnG's, Hence playing 100+ SnG's. I plan on starting from the very bottom! That's right, $1 SnG's, Why? Cause it's fun to start from the bottom and beat all the limits all the way comfortably to the top. I know 100 won't allow me to do that but it's a start.

5. $/Day upto $10+.

This is because the 'Bankroll Booster' requirement is to average $5/Day to make the $600 mark in 3 months. This was my initial drive to get back into Poker, I've played at 25NL for far to long now over the last 4 years but just haven't stuck to and I really want to get out of there and start playing Mid-Stakes games.

SET YOUR GOALLZZZ SUCKER!!!

I plan on achieving the below and and sustaining it to the end of October.

The Date, October 12th, 2009.

  1. Pretty Standard, Play 25k Total Hands. Status : (9,215)
  2. Get PTBB/Hour + 8. Status : (6.27)
  3. Get BR upto $500 . Status : ($342.87)
  4. Play 100+ SnG's. Status : (32)
  5. $/Day upto $10+ : (8.90)

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.

It all begins...NOW!!

This is where i'm at. See Image below.
Vewwwy Goood.

Ok, So as you can see, quite comfortable at 25NL really. No real beef with it, currently running @ 6.27 PTBB/Hour or $3.14/Hour, in just under 30k Hands. Not baaaad. I know I need at least 100k Hands before I get a true reflection of my BB/Hour but I gotta start blogging at some point!

I'm gonna be playing FR for the course of this and most likely have a flitter around 6-Max at 10NL. Just to get my feet a bit wet.

I'm going to set Monthly targets which will be updated weekly, that's for sure. How often am I gonna update my blog though other than that. Oh when there's anything worth posting ;D

INTRODUCING...........

This is my Poker Blog. Why am I blogging? Cause I think it's kinda cool an it helps me set targets for myself which I don't want to not achieve cause the WorldWideWeb will see me fail ;D.

Wanna give a big shout out to my boy's, helpeless2k, ccourten and daly3. Without these 3 I don't actually know who would listen to me chat so much crap about Poker.

I live in Peterborough, England. Concieved in the winter of '84 and born in the summer of '85. My Dad's a pretty mental gambler so this may be where I got my Poker drive from, probably didn't help my little brother was playing on a Poker site at a very young age which caught my eye! So I started playing when I was 20 (I think?!?!) I deposited $50 onto a site and went from there...I played Limit HoldEm and yeah, I was the biggest fish in the world, I'd never even seen Poker on TV!!!

I always wanted to take Poker quite seriously but always tried to jump up limits too quick. Hell, I didn't even know what BRM was for a while! Even when I did I just ignored it...TWAAAAATTT MUCH. A lesson lived is a lesson learnt, right? That's history. There was a turning point last year though, check my other blog for that 'Other Blog'.

That's where it began, this is where i'm going to carry it on, the finish? Who knows.
