"Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit, you are shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you." - Jack Strauss

Ok instead of posting shit everywhere I'm going to keep it all contained in this thread.

My poker background - I've been playing for about 2 weeks and I usually play the smallest ($1/2) tables on Pokerstars for play money. This is helping me work out how the game works and experiment a bit. In 2 weeks I've gone from $1,000 to over $6,000 from trying to play good hands in good position (I am still learning about position).

I've entered 4 or 5 multitable freeroll tournaments. My first good result was 172nd and won 65 cents. Then last night I finished one in 99th place and collected $1.10. Today I played a lot more aggresively and finished in 20th place and collected $3.50

My long term goal is to make an average of $50 a day.

Once I've gotten up to 10 posts I'll start putting some hands up for evaluation. If I make a stupid play please tell me I've made a stupid play. Call a spade a spade. I'm serious about improving my game and dedicated to learning it.

I've read all the beginners digests in the articles section of the forum but I don't understand everything that was written. So, I'm going to work on 1 or 2 things every day, put them into practice on the felt then reread them and be 100% certain that it makes sense in my own head before I move on to a new concept.

I'm definately not the smartest person around, but I am dedicated to this and I appreciate everyones good advice so far.

I'm going to deposit $100 into Pokerstars this week and start making a go at the 0.1/0.2c tables.
