One Year Ago Today, I...
-Not even thinking about playing poker. Had never played a hand online or a home.

Since then, I have...
- Found 2+2 and BW in May
- Read SSHE cover to cover
- Started with $200 bonus at Pacific. One tabled until I cleared the bonus. Worked up to .5/1
- Starting whoring, got PT
- Got to 1/2 then switched to 6max
- Spent a gazillion hours reading this *&$&% forum and logging hands
- Taking my time moving up

Re: One year ago today, I....
 

1 year ago I finally felt comfortable at .10/.20 on Pacific.

Re: One year ago today, I....
 

One Year Ago, I....

- just getting semi-serious about learning poker and was a winning .5/1 player 2 tabling
- had SSHE, PT and GT+

Since then, I have....
- discovered the joys of 6 max (around march)
- foolishly turned down wookie's offer to do session studies with him due to my impending wedded bliss [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
- enjoyed a couple months of sucking at 6max on UB 2/4 6 max
- bought a Ins 9300 with my winnings at that point
- moved back down to 1/2 6max and tightened up a bit
- enjoying spinning my wheels at 3/6 6max party

Re: One year ago today, I....
 

One year ago today -

Almost exactly one year ago I deposited my first $50 at Party.
I ran it up to $500 playing slightly less moronically than my competition. I thought I was a genius.
I played 1/2 with friends and worried about losing too much money.

Since then I have ...

Moved from .50/1 to 10/20.
Found a home game with some great players who have taught me a ton.
Read every book I could find.
Learned to bonus whore.
Had my first two months with five figure earnings (verrrrry low five figures, but still).
Spent an insane number of hours working on my game and lurking here.

Re: One year ago today, I....
 

Five figures. I neglected my counting lessons and concentrated on poker.

Re: One year ago today, I....
 

true story...one year ago i remember getting so upset at a .25/.50 table seeing my trip jacks lose to some guy who rivered a straight. I had no idea a straight beat 3 of a kind...some guy had to explain it to me in the chat.

...one year ago i just had rolled my free $10 at Royal Vegas up to $200, did the granny bonus, hit up all the party skins and was starting to become a major bonus whore, blackjack whore...

One year later I have cashed out over 5 figures in winnings and won and lost another 5 figures by playing 20/40 30/60 shorthanded well above my bankroll.

One year from now I will not be such an arrogant tilting fool and I will have a a 1000 BB roll for 10/60 6-max and lots of winnings in the bank.
