Luckily for me, I took a horrible beating on the online felt during the last week. You see, I promised myself when I started my online poker account with $50 with the hopes of building a good-sized bankroll that I would start blogging about it once I reached the $500 mark.
A big score a couple weeks back — first place in a $11 buy-in 45-person event for $171 — put me well over $500. But I didn't have this blog set up yet. So I went out and lost more than $100 — $5 or $10 at a time in what was the worst run of cards, luck and boneheaded moves I've ever been through.
Well, I'm back. Back on the winning side and — thanks to a first in an $11 buy-in, 18-person sit-and-go that earned me $72 last night — back over $500. That gave me a second chance to do what I had planned to do all along: start a blog when I reached the $500 mark.
Where will this go? Where will it end? Can an amateur poker nut really use pretty good poker skills and a ridiculously strict bankroll management system to turn $50 into $50,000? I have no idea. But I hope one or two people will come along for the ride through this blog.
