Ok, first off, my age < 18, so if you're mortally offended by underage gambling, there's the door.

My story starts off playing play money at poker.com, which was fun for a while, but watching 10 all ins in a table can get kind of boring after a while. So I played in a freeroll, with the chip lead halfway through. I got tired at about this point, so I went to bed. Woke up the next morning with $0.80.

Yes! Money!!!! So I head off to the $0.01-$0.02 limit tables with my huge BR, saw that I was at a table full of donks, not much above play money, and quickly brought that up to around $3.

I decided that this wasn't moving fast enough, so I move no 25nl, because, well, just because (glub glub). So I pick up 99 on my first hand. All in. I get about 3 callers, catch a 9 on the flop, and triple up. Very next hand, JJ. All in (of course). Get a caller with something crap. Double up and leave.

So I start buying into 25nl with $10. I find this rediculously easy, and build it up to about $100. At poker.com, if you get enough raked hands, you can qualify for a $500 freeroll, which i win for $150. BR = $270.

So after playing for a while at 25nl, not really knowing what I'm doing, going nowhere with my roll, getting bored, I try 100nl. I mean, what's the harm? I'm better than all of these players.... So I run good for a week, build up to around $650. Then I hit a downswing.

Back down to $200 So searching google for a poker forum, I stumble across FTR. I learn about BR management, how to beat low limits etc. So I build up my BR to about $400. I do a review for FTR, get $50 and get the hell out of poker.com, just because they don't have enough players to be really profitable there.

So I cash out, and pm boon about casino whoring. He decides to take my $200 and make $600 with it. While this is happening, I'm tearing up (read: slightly beating) 25nl at Party and 6turbo sngs at Stars.

My BR is now $1046.53 (after paying back boon 25%).

And that's about it. tynhgg
