Crap! - $1657.20

So I hadn't been able to play for a few days and decided to go a little crazy on Saturday and see what happened. Well first off I officialy hate $12/180 turbos and won't be playing them anymore. Second playing outside your bankroll, running bad, and tilting is a sure fire formula for losing a good chunk of your bankroll. So moral of the story... stay within your roll, keep your composure, and don't play crapshoot turbos. Lesson learned...

Current Bankroll - $1657.20

1st Update - $2016.72

Not a great day but certainly could have been worse. Lost a few tournaments in unfortunate situations but thats just the way it goes. There was a few situations in the $3r that I feel I could have extracted some more chips but overall I feel I was playing well today.

• $20/180 - AK to TT on a ATK flop.
• $10/15k - A7 to K9 (Was around 10 BB pushed on the button when it was folded to me and SB called half his stack with K9... flop was 889, 6 on the turn gave me a little hope but the river blanked)
• $15/Bounty - A9 to KQ AIPF.
• $3r/25k - TT vs JJ AIPF.

Today/Overall:
Buy-ins - $58.80
Won - $48.34
Profit - ($10.46)

Current Bankroll - $2016.72

Ez Mode - $2027.18

So I didn't really get a chance to play tonight had a bunch of stuff to take care of. However, one of my errands did happen to take me to Giant Eagle (local grocery store) where I was able to pick up a few Gift Cards to load some more money on stars. Figured if I was going to take a shot at this I might as well get the best start possible.

The Beginning - $1526.01

A little about me, I'm a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying computer science. I work as a computer programmer for http://www.esportsea.com/. Poker has been a hobby of mine for a year or two now and I've had a couple of decent scores but nothing spectacular. This blog will be dedicated to all the details of my journey to become successful in the higher echelons of online tournament play. My starting bankroll as of now is $1526.01 and following (for the most part) proper bankroll management I'll be playing $20 mtts and below. My main goal by the end of the year is to increase my bankroll to around $6000 and be able to start playing some of the higher buy-in tournaments such as $50 freezeouts and the $10r. Anyway time to hit the tables, I'll be back later to update on how things go.

At the end of each post I'll include my current stats as follows:

Current Bankroll: $1526.01

Won/Lost: $0.00
