It took me a while to figure this out.

I have played live for 6 years and recently made the exclusive conversion to the intarwebz with the goal of one day quitting my job and going pro.

The best advice I have seen so far came off the noob stickies, basically telling me to dedicate myself to learning the game.

Bullshit, I know this game...right?

Wrong.

I started my BR at $50 and fluctuated back and forth. Got as high as $65 and moved up to $0.5/0.10 before I had read about BR Management, so I didn't know any better.

The more I have read over the last couple days the more I have realized I didn't know shit. After a particularly bad streak and dropping my BR to about $42 I decided to get back down to where I should be for the size of my BR.

One thing I have learned is that I was trying to incorporate too much of what I learned too fast, I was getting somewhat confused, was not playing the same hands consistently and that contributed to my losses greatly.

After reading and deciding on a good base pre flop strat (19 hands etc.) I seem to have settled down a bit and hoprfully can begin the climb to freedom

Wasn't sure if this was too much like a blog for my second post, but meh, hope it works.
