First Post

I've been planning a poker blog for some time. If no-one ever reads it apart from me...well, that's not really going to bother me too much.

Having started playing a little poker (badly) 3 years ago, I've eventually graduated to a point where I feel I can make some serious money from the game. During university I've always found enough money to enter local tournaments and win enough to support myself. I've never given cash a serious go and as for my bankroll - I've never really had one!

Now full-time studying is over, I aim to invest approximately $2,000 into online cash under stringent bankroll management conditions. In theory, if I can beat the levels I play at, I stand a minimal chance of ever going broke.

I'm a No-Limit Hold 'Em specialist, but proficient at other limits and disciplines. Primarily a live player, but the money is there to be made online. In the past year I've made $10,000 profit from largely live play.

Notable results include a runner up spot in a national student poker championships. After dominating the final table, the structure did not reward my aggressive play, and the poker gods deserted me in the crapshoot that was heads-up play. This is still my largest cash. I have cashed at a UK festival event (via a bubble deal sadly, so the aim of getting my name onto the Hendon Mob database will have to wait) and taken down a good mid-stakes event on Pokerstars, good for over $2,600.
