Hi all, I believe you will like my story...
About me in short...
I'm from Slovakia. My real name is Jakub Konečný, I'm 19.
I'm something like soon to like to be a mathematician. ♦ I represented Slovakia on IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) this July in Kazakhstan. Don't ask me how I ended there 
But if you wish to see your country's results, check it here: http://imo2010org.kz/
In September 2010 I'll start study Economic and Financial Matematics in Bratislava (Slovakia's capital). I'm really looking forward to it.
I like all kind of sports but lately I'm often injured. So I read a lot and play poker.
How it all started...
I started playing online poker in January 2010, after I ugly broke my hand and had to stay at home for about 4 weeks... I was really bored and found link to PS.com somewhere on youtube (probably somebody earned $25 already 
). I started playing on FTP. More or less, I played everything 
My bankroll first moved to $90, then fell again to $50. Then climbed up to $130 and fell again ... to $45. Then I won $45 in SitNGo Madness freeroll and haven't have bigeer downswing from that point. When I had about $200 I moved to PokerStars and with about $230 BR moved back to FTP when I realised that I'm still a begginner and rakeback is THE NUTS for me ♦
Long time I didn't believe in PS.com articles videos and so on... I found them boring and I played generally looser than I should have played. Luckily there were even worse players so I managed a profit. Actually, I applied good BRM because I didn't want to lose my starting capital and played lowest limits to be found.
After 7 months I decided, that I will play FL Holdem. What I think of other games?
NL Holdem - I played NLH probably most, I made maybe $60 playing RUSH NL$5 SH but I was pretty lucky because I was almost $30 above All-in EV... I think that I wasn't able to improve in this game. I was making bad calls although I knew this will be a bad cal. Very bad call. Especially, I wasn't able to give up overpairs. I felt just very very bed when I lost 2-3 stacks... that's just too big swings for me.
PLO - game of suckouts. Just suckout, suckout, suckout. Only good thing is that you generate more rake than in NLH.
Stud games - I think it's very hard, maybe even impossible to play your A game on more than 2 tables. Because you have to remember cards that you saw people had on board and they already folded. I found it very hard to play at 2 tables... Although otherwise I like Stud games. Cash I liked most Razz and MTT Stud.
LO/8 - that's just strange and I think it's very boring. But I think it's very easy to cash in MTT or SnG. I played 1 MTT and cashed, 1 SnG and won (or at least was in HU) but it takes very long time and you have to play super boring tight on micro stakes. However... it might be interesting on higher stakes.
Limit Draw games... not that fishy as other Limit games and boring. No action at all.
Mixed games - I liked because they are extremely fishy ♠_biggrin:
In general I find NL and PL games harder for me, because you need to have guts for it. When I played NL or PL I played scared of I might lose whole stack in one game. I feel much more comfortable playing FL. In micro FL games is to think all you need. No matter which game. 
I will play FL Holdem, mainly cash, but maybe also some MTT or SnG. But SnG fill very slowly... But sometimes i will probably play also some other FL games.
I will have only one long term goal... to catch taavi1337 on his limit
He because I think he is good and willing to improve and not on very high limit yet.
I think I never played FL FR (or if, then for sure <1000 hands). According to PTR I played about 7000 hands of FL SH by now, so I think I won't have problems with adapting to SH format. I didn't follow PS.com advices and wanted action. I feel fine with my postflop game so I will not move to FR. I started with FL SH $0.10/$0.20 to get used to it and I managed profit 113 BB (6.98BB/100) over 1620 hands. I'm 3 talbing and probably will be for few weeks until I start making decissions faster. Soon I will start playing FL SH $0.25/$0.50.
Now my BR is $279 and I'm clearing first deposit bonus from when I moved back to FTP. But it doesnt matter since what you have cleared is deducted from your rakeback...
I wish me good luck
