On Dec 27th 2004, I decided to try online poker. I played the play money NL games at this one site for a week and decided to deposit at Paradise Poker after researching which sites were good. I deposited $200 and sat down at 2/4 limit hold'em [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] and thought since casinos lowest limit is 2/4 then I should be playing 2/4 also, anything lower is for suckers. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Well I forgot how many hours it took, but eventually my $200 was gone. I then deposited another $300 and started playing only in multi-table and SNG tournaments, because I felt that limit hold’em can't be beat. I started with $5 SNG and after having some success I jumped quickly to $20 SNGs (<-- big mistake), by Mid January I was down to $25. That’s when I found 2+2 and bought HPFAP, TOP, and SSHE. I was mainly lurking on this site and only until recently I started posting more.

I read advice on here to bonus whore and build your Bankroll starting from micro limits, so that’s what I did. Right now I have $800 bankroll not including the bonus money earned.
So my goals are:
- Play 1/2 full ring until I have 300 BB for 2/4
- Then after 10k hands at 2/4, play 1/2 6-max until I feel comfortable at it and am beating it.
- Then when my bankroll is big enough, play 3/6.
- Then 5/10.
- Also start playing in more live games and live tournaments.
- win my first multi-table tournament.

Ended up playing only 5k hands of 2/4 online in July. Played in live games more, had a nice little 54BB downswing playing 4/8 last night in a 8 hour session. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
