Hey all!
So I was searching the net trying to find some blogs to follow and must say I was inspired. I think it's a really good idea to share my idea my results etc.
I think this will keep me motivated, focused and accountable.
A bit about me. 19 year old female from Australia. Fairly new to poker compared to most.
About 6 months ago I was bored and decided to deposit $50 onto 888 for some fun. Basically didn't know much was a fish but like I said I did it for a bit of entertainment (chronic gambler in me).
I didn't know much about the game but just playing I was so so interested in it.
Losing, losing, losing I soon found some new entertainment in online casinos roulette, blackjack the lot! Haha.
Recently poker popped back in my head and I thought what if I really put some effort into educating myself with the game. Always been good with numbers etc. I did a bunch of research, videos, articles and educated myself a lot about the game. But this all means nothing if I don't put it into practise right?
So I decided to put my last $150 to my name into Pokerstars. After doing some searching I found pokerstars to have good rewards system, software etc. And I definitely did not want to deposit on 888 there is just something about that site maybe the low standard of software (IMO) that just really doesn't inspire me.
Sorry for the 888s but Pokerstars sh!ts all over 888 in terms of professionalism etc just my opinion. I understand 888 might be better for softer games etc but hey gotta want to look forward to logging in haha.
OKAYY so lets get into like I said deposited $150 into Pokerstars.
Wanted to get a feel for the different games. I feel I needed to find one type of game I feel suits me and my style of play and go for that. I feel for my low level of experience its best to try and become great at one type instead of 'not bad' at a lot of types, also the education side of things will be a lot more dense and can really get into the nitty gritty of the game. So I made the decision to risk some of my BR in order to find what type of game interests me and I can stay focused in.
Result. Single table sngs. Was playing the normal ones but mannnnn they take forever so turbo is what I am liking very much. Have only done a few hypers I just seem to feel really nervous and pressured to make some moves in order to increase chips to last.
THE PLAN:
Current bankroll/starting bankroll $130 (lost $20 due to experimenting).
14 day challenge to make bankroll $200.
Why 14 days well..The software I am trialling ends in 14 and would love for this to pay for it!
It doesn't end there. Whether I met this goal or not the grind will continue!! Have a lot more plans for the rest of this year and 2014!! But I thought I start with a small short goal and at in longer ones as I go. I understand that this may not be long enough due to variance etc. But if that ends up being the cause then I will cross that bridge when I get there I think! And whether that be "variance" or I am just a sh!t player well we can cross that one later too!
If anyone has any training site recommendations please suggest (paid and free suggestions welcomed)
I will be starting with 1.50 turbo stt sng. Every session I will start with one table and increase when I feeling I am "in the zone" basically warm myself up. I am a beginner and one thing I don't want to do is run before I can walk. I am fine with very low stakes $1.50 sngs and am not tempted to go up stakes until I feel I am over rolled and am killing the $1.50's.
Next 2 weeks GOALS!
-Play and average of 3 hours per day.
-Watch at least 1 training video per day
-Read at least 2 articles
-Post on here at least once per day.
I really hope you guys follow: win, lose or draw (breakeven). Despite my limited BR and micro stakes game I am very serious about this 
And really hope one day I can be writing this blog but as a high rolllerrrrr woop woop!
haha peace! xoxo
