Hi eveybody.
My poker career started at expekt.com poker. They had great 500 freerolls daily and I played in them for about 3-4 months in a row. After a while I started to win, but I went broke with the dollar I won soon. I continued playing and won some more and decided to buy in to a 1 dollar rebuy tourney with my pokerwinnings(had exactly the buy in of 1 + 0.1 i think)
The tournament had abit over 100 players, and i managed to win the whole tourney and 100 dollars. After a couple of days I went broke and was pretty frustrated. I stopped playing for a while but after a month I was back.
I got some dollars from a friends and started to play SnG's and managed to win acctually. I build up a bankroll on about 50 dollars from the 10 I got and leared much. but ofcourse i had to go broke.
I had gained some experience and started to play on Ladbrokes for the 1000 freeroll they used to launch every day. I managed to come 3rd out of 4000 or something like that and won 50 dollars. I lost and won small on the cashgames acctually using a strategy I made myself that is very likely to the SSS here. I was down to about 40 dollars and registeded in a 20rebuy tourney(I didnt know what a bankroll management was ^^).
This was my last shot to build up a good bankroll.
The tourney had 225 players and had a guarantee of $8000(after addon about 11000). I played pretty tight and was one of the lowstacks when we were on the bubble with 31 remaining. And I got on a biiiig run winning alot of chips. I reached the final table and had the $3108 on sight.
I got aces and kings and every kind of good hand on the final table and got heads up with one third of the total chips. But I doubled up very fast and got JJ and beat my opponments 22 and won the whole tourney.
Sadly I was a reeeeeally bad player at that moment and I lost every single cent on big cashgames with the sharks.
I thought it really sucked, but still I havnt used my own money.
The last 4-5 months after my loss I have played at pokerstars investing some own money but cashed out more than I have deposited. I have studied poker learning videos and read some pokerbooks.
I had been registered for a long time on pokerstrategy and found out now was the time to take the quiz and get some free money. I registered on the full tilt bonus and started playing. I really enjoy it!
I have been reading and watching SnG winning players videos and I now have a avg profit on $2
Thnx for this great site and great articles.
