Welcome back!!
After a short interuption (about 18 months) I have decided to attempt to carry on writing this blog. Why did I stop you cry, well as I explained in my first ever post I am a naturally lazy individual and simply lost interest. I also decided to take a short break from poker and concentrate on other interests in my life, like Wikipedia, extreme ironing and dossing about in my underpants whilst watching Monk or House on the Hallmark channel.
However after a few months of lazing around Broker got me into Heads Up Sit and Go tournaments (HUSnG). His site, Tagpoker, specialises in teaching losing Micro-stakes players how to play a particular style of tight-aggressive poker that is extremely effective in HUSnG tournaments. A lot of these players have gone on to become very good Medium Stake ($50-100) Heads Up players and some are even looking to move up to High Stakes in the near future. He has a whole host of videos that are free to view and has a range of teaching packages that are very good value for money. I gave this a go and gradually managed to improve my Sharkscope record, even reaching a magnificant +1% return of investment at one point!! Using the bankroll (about $500) I had built up playing cash poker on Poker4ever I transferred it to Full Tilt and again tried to make some serious cash. However due to some bad beats (and possibly a dash of tilt) it plummeted to about $420 and once again I got sick of poker. So i took my money out and used it to pay off a big chunk of my credit card, solemnly vowing to never play poker again.
However I have recently re-opened my account on Minted Poker, and within three weeks have managed to get my bankroll up from $50 to just over $83 two tabling at NL10 cash games. So now I have decided to re-attempt my three stage challenge and attempt to hit $1000 so that I can actually earn some decent money playing poker and maybe, just maybe, play poker full time.
The dream lives on....
