OK, so I joined FTR. I guess the best move in my short poker life. I'm not sure if it's the best place to show my achievements, if not, I don't mind moving it somewhere else. I have no idea how often will I update it, but I'll do my best. Here is something for start. I wrote similar stuff in Begginers Circle of Winners, but I wouldn't be able to update my situation there.

A month ago (maybe a bit more) I had $0 poker bankroll. Then I got ITM in some freerolls on Expekt.com, this way I got $3 :P. Played a bit at 5NL and went to $10. Then moved to Party Poker since there where no tables on Expekt.com.

Played so so. Fortunately found FTR, read EVERYTHING on the main page and moved to forum. Read all stickies in Begginers Forum and all posts from first 2 pages, then the same with NLH Strategy forum. I realized I had no idea about poker at all. Decided to start playing by Renton's 169H strategies. Thx RENTON. This is how I became a TAGG. A weak TAGG I guess, but I hope it will change in time. Downloaded trials of PT and PAH and started working on my bankroll.

When I reached 100$ I was really happy, because finally I was properly bankrolled for 5NL . At $125 I withdrew $25 and bought PAH. When reached $125 again, withdrew $100 to go casino whoring.

Last night I whored at Starluck. I'm kinda stupid, cause I didn't read T&C before depositing (just trusted FTR stickies). So, I found out that since I'm Polish, I have to wager my $200 48 times , instead of 8x. I didn't have anything important to do, so started with $2 bets, then changed to $4, cause it was getting late. I ended up with $370, after wagering $11000 at 5AM. Now I'm waiting for the cash out.

I realize I must have been really lucky when moving from $3 to $100 (didn't get any really bad variance and so, I didn't go bankrupt). The same with playing BJ with $4 bets at $200 bankroll. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

So this was the past. Now plans:

1. As soon as I get my money on neteller, I'm buying PT (reinstalling it after every 1000 hands is pretty annoying). I'm really curious what my BB/100 is, also plan to spend a lot of time analyzing my stats at PT.
2. Plan to casino whore a bit more, starting with Planetluck.
3. Go back to playing poker, probably at 10NL this time (if my bankroll is over $200 after all my casino affair).
4. Start reading HH at FTR.
5. I will include my 5NL stats in here, so you could see how lame I still am . Maybe some hands that get me in trouble.

I know it all may sound funny for you, this 5NL, but I had to start somewhere. Also the fact that I didn't deposit even a nickle and now have $370+PAH makes me proud .

Wish me luck. Hope to get some feedback. One more thing, FTR members:
You are f***ing amazing!!!
