going for broke as ProPlus

In the end i decided to set up an interpoker account and take advantage of rakeback and sign-up bonus, but i had to use neteller and blah blah blah, i could only deposit £125. so in it went and i played $0.25/50 cash and only $0.25/50 cash which was good. started off badly by getting coldeced out of half a buy in but it picked up at the end of the day and i finished the day with $345, a profit of $100 for the day.

Thats a better start than i could have hoped for and i'm 10% through the sign up bonus of $150 aswell so its all looking good. Hopefully i can keep my discipline and grind out a serious bankroll. hopefully.

oh dear

That didnt go to plan. Played micro limit cash on stars and WH and hit bad beat after bad beat. I then went on tilt, but not in the normal sense. My play was still good, but my game selction wasn't. i put my remaining bankroll into various tournaments and despite playing well failed to cash in any partly due to a couple more beats. quite annoyed ! I didnt turn that £100 into a fortune.

give up poker all together or start again !?

it's never gonna be the first one! My biggest problem was not sticking to what i said i was going to do. This is my last chance to build a bankroll so i'm going to make the most of it. £150 into willhill to play $0.25/0.50 cash and stick to playinging that. My next post WILL NOT be me saying how i losat it all playing £1/2 !! i have 6 buyins which should be enough to see me through the variance if i'm lucky. if this goes it'll be trying to build up from a £10 quickcash voucher !

finally worked out how to create a post !!

Its been a long time since i setup this blog and it neevr got going, obviously ! a lots happened in that time,

i won a bout £1800 playing mtts on will hill over the summer. 1st in the ntx for £900 and 2nd in the $5k despite a 25-1 chip lead going into heads up, dont ask !

i then discovered limit hold'em and thought it was great. turned $300 into $3000 on pokerstarsmoving upo from $2/4 to $10/20 at one point. I then lost about $900 playing high stakes mtts on stars with Ben (he didnt put up any of the buy-in). From there i cashed out $1000 to live on and lost the other $1000 with a really cold streak and playing too high. SO i went broke and i mean really broke, i was eating 1 meal a day !!

Now the new year is here and i have soem money (not much) to play with and turn into a fortune !! so £50 into pokerstars and £50 into will hill for a 2 small bankrolls. I like bits of both sites. Plan is to build both up with stts and low level cash adn then decide where to gp from there. here goes ...
