My name is Cody I am a 21 year old student from Canada. I've been playing poker for around 3 years now and have loved the game from the start:) I started my poker career on FTP with the $50 provided to me by the lovely pokerstrategy.com. I grinded low stakes sit n go's with a small win rate and then took a stab at the $4 rush on demand tournys and had fairly good success. All in all, I grinded the $50 into $450 then BOOM black friday 
After black friday i played little to no online poker until around August 2012 where i decided to deposit $150 on pokerstars and decided to grind strictly zoom cash games. A friend and I split on lowstakes holdemmanager and I was ready to go:) I've had good success since then and once fulltilt poker re opened in early November I shipped all my money to pokerstars and I started to take some shots at NL25:O
Nl25
Alright so now for my goals for 2014!
- Become a more active member on pokerstrategy:) There is clearly a lot of good people on this site and a lot of good poker content that will help me become a better poker player
- Achieve atleast gold status on both pokerstrategy and pokerstars every month of 2014
- Read all the BSS articles on pokerstrategy and study! One of my biggest problems is my lack of studying
NEW STUFF!!!
So, obviously I have not been updating this blog and probably did not achieve any of those goals:p But this kids not busto! I actually withdrew a good chunk of my bankroll because I am a broke student! I shipped a 5.10 hyper mtt at the end of last summer and my roll was up to 2.5k and school was starting up so I decided to withdraw 2k and grind low stakes mtt throughout the year ( put in very little volume but had ran good and had some success ♦
So basically I HIGHLY recommend playing the 5.10 hyper MTTS on pokerstars for people looking to build their rolls without having to grind out an 8 hour regular speed tournament. These results are not totally accurate as I have played many tournaments on my phone and on another computer but I'd have to guess that my profit is maybe a bit more from these 5.10 tournaments and I have put in more volume than stated. It says regular speed on hold em but I assure you all those 5.10 tournaments were hyper speed. I've made 5 final tables and managed a 2 way chop in 2 of them, ship one, 2nd in one, and an unfortunate 9th in the other 
Also a 6th place in the hot 4.40 in that stretch ♦ Seriously just watch the lovely Colin Moshman videos on these hyper mtts and pray that you run as good as me if you want to boost your roll!
So Now for some new goals!
After a recent withdraw my roll is just over $1900 right now and i' ready to start playing NL50 zoom seriously this summer and mix in some MTTs. I want to become an active member on pokerstrategy and overall improve my game!. Feel free to add me via community tool if you want to talk poker and exchange Skype info and what not. Id love to join an NL50 zoom group among fellow pokerstrategers so if anyone is apart of one and wants an extra voice to talk poker with I would love to join and have some sweat sessions ♦
