Plain as that. Heard stories, seen movies, met people, got psyched!

Hey there, Martin is the name. 30 years just popped. I used to play some poker a few years ago, nothing serious, sometimes live with friends.

Lately a desire woke up, dug up the PokerStrategy website and started reading all the stuff step by step and slowly beginning with my adventure. Will see how it goes, I don't expect anything to happen by itself, nor in a short time. I know it's years of hard work and determination. I think I'm ready.

Cheers!

Good luck Martin!

What games/limits are you going to play on your way to the top?

I'm starting with NL2. So far have been playing for 2 weeks on 888 with my free 2 USD starting bonus. I'm trying not to lose that. Doing allright with around 9 USD at the moment

I'm also quite fond of SnG. But I think I'll need a little higher bankroll for that.

I learned one thing so far - I have to learn how to fold. I'm hoping to spot a bluff very often and almost as often I'm disappointed. Will work on that!

For sure folding is a skill that is harder to master than value betting, and you're right it's the best thing you can focus on learning how to do correctly to accelerate your profits! Especially at the micros :f_drink:

Thanks, will check that out for sure!

For now I'm giving a try in 36 man 1$ SnG. Managed to reach 2nd place a few times, waiting for my first win. Still without any deposit just rolling with 2$ starting free money :f_biggrin:

Going through all the PS theory one step at a time, feeling good.

Cheers!

For SnGs, check out Collin's Sit 'N Go Crushers Academy. Collin is the nutz when it comes to SnGs of any type. :f_drink:
