I'm 19 years old, in my second year of university.
Been playing online poker for a bit over 2 years now
My first 6 months i kind of just casually lost a few hundred dollars
Decided to eventually switch to playing Double or Nothings (DoNs) on Pokerstars, after grinding the lowstakes games for about 3 months i managed to make like 2k
With this 2k i cashed out most of it and deposited $250 on Carbon Poker to attempt to make a good run at the Merge SNG leaderboard
In December 2010 (my first month on Carbon) i finished 3rd on the SNG leaderboard playing 6max Super turbos, the leaderboard cash was good for $1000, in December i had ran my $250 up to $3k and within 3 more months i had turned that into almost 15k, moving up from the $5 games up to the $35-100 games in like 4 months. This 15k also included about 2k more profit on Pokerstars playing the $50 DoNs
After Black Friday poker began to be up and down over the next 12 months nothing much really happend. I had some micro stake isildur1 like swings and had terrible bankroll management and did some crazy stuff
In January 2012 i won like $2000 on 888poker playing SuperTurbos and cashed most of it out
April 2012 i had one of the most epic 2 days of my poker career. I had $30 left in an 888 account and decided I'd just try and make as much as possible
I played the "Push or Fold" games on 888 which are games which start with 5bb maximum buyin. I started playing 3 tables of $1/$2 (with a buyin of $10). Within like 8 hours of grinding i had ran that $30 up to over $3000 and was playing ($5/10 and some $10/20), eventually i needed to sleep ofcourse. In this one night session i had ran $30 up to almost $3500, i cashed out $500 and went to bed.
The next morning i started playing again (back at $5/10 with is way under bankrolled when you only have $3000), in the next 10 hours i busted my roll.....$30 to $3500 and then back to $0 in basically 48 hours
The last 6 months ive done some grinding on pokerstars, some on ipoker (running up big rolls and busting big rolls also with poor BR management), and some on 888.
Now, depositing $250 on Ipoker I'm going to attempt to do some better bankroll management, with like 50 buyins minimum and dropping down in stakes if im losing, although good bankroll management would probably be around 100-250 buyins
Wish me luck and lets hope I'm grinding the $50 DoNs with a $10k roll as soon as possible
Enjoy the blog
