Introduction... Hey everyone! I'm akrammon :). I'm 20, I'm from Hungary, I have a wonderful girlfriend and I study mathematics at Eötvös Lóránd University of Science, Budapest. So much for the personal stuff. I started playing poker "seriously" like 1.5 years ago...(whehehe it is so lol :f_biggrin: ) No wait I have to go more back in time to begin at the beginning... So I got the $50 starting capital on Mansion, lost it pretty fast. Did some horribly played SSS, some this, some that, I was fish by definition :f_biggrin:. THEN, I decided to take myself more seriously(it is still funny :f_p:), and jumped into the world of poker :P I will keep myself to the short version cos I don't want to scare anyone away, heh: I deposited $260 on Stars. Went down to $190, then started playing DoNs, I really got the feel for those games. Went up to around $800 (frist the $5, then the $10 limits, and was thinking about the $20s), and that's when I made my first (and in the moments of the starting of this blog, still my only) final table, with a 5th place on a $5K GTD, $1,10 tournament. It was a good feeling. It was good to beat 6000+ people for that place :P Since those times, I haven't played as much MTTs as much I would've liked. Well, there's one goal. So that got me a bit over $1K. Somewhere around there I decided to learn "the real SnGs". I started the fullring turbos(STTs). Played some of the $6,5s for learning purposes, then moved to bwin to hunt down a $100 bonus (seemed an OK amount compared to my roll, but man that software sucks). Then I was back on Stars for the $16s. And now they are called $15s. And now I'm stroming the $15s. I have like a 700 sample on these things. I've got a low ROI on this sample, therefore I often loose confidence in my game. My extra amounts of reviewing in July is gonna help a lot, hopefully. (see July goals below) So, here we are. The $15s. Wow. About this blog... What will happen in this blog? I will write about my experiences, I will try to write some useful stuff for this limit in case someone wants to move up, I will analyse my game, I will write about my feelings, I will link interesting hands from the hand evaluations section, I will recommend you movies, music, food, colors for your walls, Formula 1... ehhh, no, I'm getting out of line here. So what the hell would it be about? Everything useful/funny/interesting from the world of SnGs. But what I wanted to point out with these things, is that it never ever is going to contain any rambling about my downswings. That's just boring. It's not like I won't mention when things are running bad, or I won't ask for help here if I have psychological (spelling, eh?) problems, but I definitely won't tilt around and post badbeats and etc. I'm also hoping that this blog will help me get better and better, after all that is the ultimate goal (bleh, akrammon, you selfish bastard &spades;_biggrin: ). Well, I'm glad (and a bit surprised &spades;_cool: ) that you've read through all this crappy rambling, I hope you will find this blog interesting/amusing/inspiring/*insert positive word of your choice*, and I hope you will be a regular reader. So, let's get started! Cheers, akrammon (I think I will reserve both this place and the second post for current goals or achievements or something like that... I'm sure I will be able to put something here...)
