Default Re: YOUR poker Story (So far)

Wow impressive stuff, you guys moved fast.

My Story,

Well i heard about a girl in "The Sun" winning 4K a week playing poker online. As i'm a student i want money, Thought poker sounded good...

So i googled poker and joined Uk-Poker, I went to their site and learnt the rules.

I then joined and played play money, found it easy and crazy...

Anyhow i thought Ok I can beat Play Money and these guys are ridiculous ill putin £10...

SO i did, I played 0.02/.04 stakes, Got up to $40 within week or two and decided to withdraw my original money.

I Cashed out £10 and droped to a very low $4.

$4 i played 0.02/.04 and got up to $20... Wanted to get out of this so moved to 0.05/.10.

Wow, Huge pots $1 - 3!!!

I Played them and brought ITH after discovering(Google) this forum and being told its a good beginners book.

I learnt fair bit, Pot odds/Implied seemed logical and i played tight.

Tight weak...eeek!

Posted few things here and became bit better, Won alot more.

Meanwhile read the forums, the stuff you guys post was crazy, EV ? Equality?

But i learnt it eventually, Still much to learn!


I recently purchased SSH great book, Much better than ITH. Regret buying ITH first, think i'd of been better buying SSH straight away.

Currently working my way up, Past the $100
tonight and continue to log my progress on my blogger( http://ragstorichs.blogspot.com/ )

Keep them coming guys!
