This thread is to keep track of my now starting poker career and to be able to get advice from FTR people.
History: I turned 18 on 17th November and been reading poker books and playing freerolls for about a month till I decided to try it with my own money. I first deposited 100$ at bet365 and lost it after three days, playing some Cash Rings & SNG. I stopped for three days and then I redeposited 200$ wich I busted after 10 days, this second time I learned three important things:
- Don't get angry on bad beats
- I like more SNG's than Ring
- Fold more, I repeat: FOLD MORE
I said to myself that I didn't really like BET365 (was playing there because of a friend) so I tried PartyPoker, I deposited 1xx$ to try it, I won some and lost some but I went on tilt on a MTT and bought 17 rebuys so I went broke again, later I found out that the tournament fee's where very high (6 SNG = 5+1) so farewell PP and decided to try PokerStars. Deposited 100$ and I haven't looked back, I've been playing there for the last week and I like the fee's, the players and the turbo SNG's speed (Fast but not as crazy fast as BET365). I then decided to deposit another 600$ for the 25% bonus.
Goals:
1. To become a winning SNG and MTT player
2. To regain my 500$ lose on other rooms
3. To clear the bonus 50+150$ bonus before march
The Plan:
1. Play as many 6.5$ Turbo SNG as posible and ocasionally some 4$-6$ MTT's
2. Move up to 16$ SNG's when I hit 1500$ BR
3. Classify every week to Sunday Millions.
Initial BR: $655
1 January 2007: $699
2 January 2007: $527
All the help will be appreciated, and happy new year to everyone!
