Hi everyone,

I. All about myself
I'm Prince Junel Sevilla, 20 years old. I graduated AB Political Science a year ago and decided to relax my mind a year away from school before I will proceed to Law.

II. Infant!
My online friend introduced me to the "poker world" last September 2007 (can't really pinpoint the exact date) unfortunately i don't have ideas what "poker" really was. I'm still an infant of the online game neither played live game. I started playing play money at pokerstars, (I can't hardly imagine how FISH I am and knew only to click All-in). When I found out that I can make money online, the desire and interest awoke. After couple of months I won freerolls 5x$ in WR2 (average of $2), sad to say I lost it in cash games. Too much for the play money and freeroll.

III. I found you!
When I found out that there is "$50" free from Pokerstrategy (thanks a lot), dollars roamed in my innocent mind. So after I passed the quiz I played "tournaments" with a buy-in of $5.00-$.50, NL above my bankroll and sometimes changed to FL (just dreaming to earn lots) and played, played, and played.

IV. WOW!
I was very happy of the outcome of my desires and dreams from $50 it went down to $2.40 (I know some of you read this one from my previous posts). I almost broke, loss hope at all. And the plan to uninstall the mansion almost took place.

V. I'm back!
Eureka! I decided to split my big bucks, $1.20 for cash and $1.20 for Sit and Go Tourney SH. For almost a month I recovered my $50, wohoooooo.

VI. Now?
My BR reached +$300 playing FL .50-$1 (one table) and I have already accumulated +800 MCP.

Note:
I can't post the graph because I don't know how!

Goals after 10 days:
a. $400 BR
b. Clear the withdrawal requirement
c. Withdraw my money and be back after the semester break.

Nice read, prinstripe! I believe you've learned your lesson.

I'm glad to hear that you've been doing well since the bankuptcy (almost). I just want to remind you that: never play above your bankroll under any circumstances!

Btw, I moved this to the blog area. Keep it updated!

Good luck!

Thanks,
Yeah I learned from it though unfortunately I tried to play NL.25/.5 (don't know whats in my mind) obviously I lost 30. I promise I will never play above my Bankroll if possible I will not allow myself to play NL.

My Bankroll $370 and now down to $327, a heavy downswing. Fortunately I have already accumulated 816.30 MCP to be exact.

Okay guys, I will update my poker career.
