One year ago today, I....

[climber]

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.

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

One Year Ago Today, I...
-had just gotten my M.Sc. degree and was unemployed
-had never heard of or played Texas Hold'Em
-was bored senseless

Since Then, I Have...
-Gotten a job that I like
-Made 1/2 6-max my home
-Found 2+2 and learned more than I had thought possible (I still suck though)

1 year ago
i lost all my poker money playing 1/2 6 max (around 1000$)

now i play 5/10 and started learning on 2+2 to improve my game

reading your posts i cant wait for the next year to see what will happen [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

One Year Ago...
I was losing 40 and 60 every other week at the local indian casino playing 1/2 with the theory: "they're dumb, im smart, i can play any 2 suited and just raise them and ill win money"
I had just deposited 50 into party not knowing anything about poker
Just got SSHE for christmas from another 2+2er and he introduced me to the site

Today
Read thoroughly SSH once and reread/skimmed it about 3-5 times, read (not thorough enough though i think) TOP and HEFAP
I have since logged about 25k hands at .5/1 and 22k of that in 6m since party started those tables
Whored lots of money, but cash out too much, but i still have a decent br for 1/2
Keep taking shots at 1/2 and am getting killed for some reason, i think its cuz of my scared fps play

One Year from now
Hope to be comfortable at 3/6 6m
Thoroughly read TOP and HEFAP
Keep more money in my br so its easier to take shots at higher lvls

A year ago:

Was playing 3/6 full ring. Then 10+1 SNGs. NL25, 50 in Feb thru April.

Now:
I'm playing 3/6 6m trying to learn how to get out of my 100bb downswing and continued running poorly. I <3 rakeback.

Neat idea.

One year ago ...
Hmmmm, I had never played HE and barely heard of it. I didn't even know the hand rankings.

Six months ago ...
Started with play money NL online.
Read SSHE and HFAP.
Deposited $80 online and played micro NL.
Learned about fluctuations, but I never lost my initial roll.

Today ...
Bankrolled for 2/4 6-max and play a few hours a day.
Own 21 poker books (mostly 2+2 ones). Have read cover to cover 17 of them.
Trying to post as much as I can on here.
Bought PT and PokerAce HUD so I can pwnz.

One year from now ...
Hope to be playing 30/60 or above and have big enough cajones to move to the MHSH forum. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Don't plan to go pro, since I've already just about finished my PhD and have decent jobs ahead of me, but it's a great hobby.

These threads are so fun! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

One year ago today I...
... was trying to figure out how to play poker on the 2c/4c tables on Stars.
... was weak-tight. And when I say "weak-tight", I'm not kidding. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
... was unmarried.

Since then, I...
... have built my roll and game up to 1/2 6-max, with another shot at 2/4 coming soon.
... have learned the art of the razor-thin value bet.
... have learned what 'tilt' means and how it can contribute to a losing/break-even stretch.
... got married.

Played in 10 dollar home games with highschool friends.

Had heard about online poker from a friend but never had a credit card so I thought it was impossible for me.

Never knew how to play to game.

Today I am playing 1/2 6-max hopefully moving up to 2/4 6-max over my winter break.
