Hi everyone, well it's been an active past couple of days. I decided to put 40$ into my pokerstars account last night, instead of going out - as I was still waiting for my bankroll to be released.
It went up and down and by the close of the play it was zero. This was for a number of reasons not least the fact that I was very tired!
Anyhow I finally got my 'real' bankroll of 120$ released today it's taken me two weeks - and I've approached it with a totally different mind set. I'm treating this as my one chance to break through into poker so have been doing my best to stay within a half sensible BR limit.
So.. i've entered 4 sng's of 2.50 $ + .25$ and I placed in one of them so wasn't too bad. The good news is I just finished a 100 odd 5$ mtt and placed second! Which means my bankroll is now up 80$ to 200$ from the initial 120$ I started with earlier today, so it's been amazing I'm really pleased especially because it proves the time I've spent learning about the game the past few weeks hasn't been in vein, I had 1 or 2 bits of luck but for the most part I had pretty average cards so I'm really pleased with my play.
One guy I knocked out just before the bubble, stuck around the whole time telling me how bad I was etc.. until I placed second then started laughing that I didn't win, I must admit I found that almost as entertaining as placing in the money.
So... so far so good things are nicely on track and I'm warming up for some evening games as its 5pm now GMT!
=)
