Top it off....

I decided to sit down with only the money over and above the $1,500.00, Which is $17.57. I sat down at $0.25/$0.50 No Limit cash table with all of it. Remind you that i think of this as the only bankroll i have. I have to tell myself to play this just as smart and disciplined as i have been.... The $1,500.00 does'nt exist!
Well... I have yet to amaze myself and i'm starting to become very overwhelmed with my reads and overall play... If only you could watch the action and see my cards!
I took down a few small pots and then $60.13.... The HUGE double up after folding for about 20 minutes.... Off to another good start. Left that table w/$61.23, Totaling a $43.66 profit on my new first grind! I should'nt have started playing so late, But thats when everyone is asleep.... So lets hope the lucktards help me get to the $100.00 goal a tad bit faster tonight!!
Multi-Table time!... Sitting down with $30 at one table and $31.23 at another, Same limits.

I ran out of endurance broke down made a bad call.... I'll blame it on being tired :) Ended this grind at $35.03... Which is still positive! Calling it a night. Bankroll:$1,535.03

The wife says it's luck....

I turned $0.00 into over $1k playing poker for the third time online. My wife says it's luck.... Uhhhm... Luck? Really? Is it luck to grind $0.60 in freeroll winnings into $1,500.00 in a matter of 5 days?? When luck is involved, Anyone and i mean anyone could win and they do at online poker. But can a person with just luck do what i have done 3 times already? It takes alot of skill and disciplin to do what i have done, Hours of play with thousands of donkeys trying to get what i am called "Lucky". If there is one thing that i know... I KNOW i am NOT lucky... ask anyone! Good thing Skill is better then luck when you make your own odds.. You can't lose what you don't put in the pot and you can always fold. When you play online poker or poker in general it's nothing like playing blackjack or any of the games you will find in a casino. You do not go up against the house where your odds are very gross needless to say. When you play "Poker" you create your own odds and mine are almost 100% based on my showdown win %... Luck comes and it goes... For me... i wish it come, But it won't and never will, So i rely on Skill... THE REAL REASON WHY I WIN... quote by phil hellmuth; " If it was'nt for luck.... I would never lose! " I AGREE!

Patience, Pride and Passion.....

OK... Soooooo, I did it again!! I joined a poker site called PlayersOnly, It's a sportsbook with a poker room, And i won $0.60 from a $250 freeroll. Yeah i know what your thinking.... WHO gives a shit about $0.60... Right?!?.... WRONG!! I give all sorts of shits! I took that measly .60c and ran it up to $2 and some change on a LIMIT cash table, Then i took that to a 6max NO LIMIT cash table and left the table with a little over $9. Ok... Everything is workin out so far... No bad beats and No meltdown from myself. Time to move up another tier of cash game, So i sit down with the $9 at a .10c/.20c No Limit cash table... I sat here for a long time... probably close to 4 hours and only walked away with around double my $9. After that, I moved up to .25c/.50c with around.. Lets sayyyy.. $20.00. BOOOYAH!! I end up leaving here over $100 and VERY HAPPY! DO YOU GET THE PICTURE?!!? Yeah! This goes on like this for 5 days. Today is day 5 of this Grind im on. My bankroll is now at $1,536.10 from my starting bankroll of $0.00. I have been sticking to bankroll management this time around as i have "not" done in the past.
I am now sitting down with $35.00-$70.00 at $0.50/$1.00 & $80.00-$120 at $1.00/$2.00 No Limit Cash Games.

How it started...

I started out playing online poker for the first time on a site called Bugsys Club, Which no longer exists. Me and my buddy Nick were Killin everyone on this site... I mean Winning MTT's like crazy. We were the Kings of the Castle! I was'nt really even half as good as i am nowadays at cards, But i still won..... It has been around 11 years since i started playing Texas Hold 'Em. I believe that i am at the top of my game.... As long as i can stay positive and keep my environment positive around me, I'll keep doing good in cards. I have cashed out just around $4,000.00 in the past without ever having to put my own money on the line. YES!.. $4k!... For FREE!! NO INVESTMENT!!
