Hi all,
It was only a few weeks ago i posted on here introducing myself, so thought i would come back and share so far, what i have managed with my $50 capital.
The first few days i got to $53.32 (after alot of luck) as i was pretty much calling anything and everything. I read through some of the bronze articles and tried again.
Over the following week and a 1/2 i was playing pretty tight, only using AK(S) or a top pair. My balance didnt fair up to my play unfortunatly and hit as low as $19.14.
This last week (after studying alot of poker episodes online and tv, watching how professionals play, and learning more in-depth the rules on this website) I am playing pretty well. My balance has gone back up to a healthy $44.88 in 6 days, and i feel i know a little more about playing poker.
I know pretty much which hands are useless, and which ones to raise, re-raise or just limp into the flop. I know when am beat, even when i've put alot of money in the pot, i feel i can fold when its right too, or on the odd occasion make a 'hero' call.
Promoted to silver on this website, and i will continue to play NL2 until my bank balance really improves (if it does) and will keep coming back to update on the forums(if anyones actually interested lol) Once again, i can't thank poker strategy enough, with all the bills and looking after the little fella i could never really afford to test out my poker ambitions, but you have made that possible. I'm not being stupid with the investment i've recieved, and hopefully the only way is up from here.
Thank you all the PokerStrategy team.
Mike
P.S After playing only one table, and getting bored pretty much straight away, i moved to playing 2, 3 and now i'm on 4 tables. 4 tables for me is definatly my limit, as i have really peeked playing that amount of tables. I wait for the best hands (or half decent ones) and go from there.
