Hey Ho,
Not so new member but I don't think I ever introduced myself when I registered all those years ago.
I first registered back in the good old Free $50 days
*ahh the memories*
I played the short stack strategy for a bit and built the $50 up to $160ish I think. But I found it super boring, it kind of took the fun out of the game for me. I guess it built my bankroll up safely and taught me a little patience and some good (if a little tight) hand selection skills, which I think was the idea. Anyway I eventually tilted the money away in ways that I can't quite remember now.
Before that I played in a regular home game 10/20p
for a good few years.
I think I have a pretty good natural ability for the game (aka my maths sucks) and I really enjoy the mental challenge of putting people on hands and finding nice spots for winning pots without showdown ![]()
Anyway I guess I was a losing player online last time I played. But I would like to turn that around. I have been gifted a free $10 on Titan (whoohooooo \o/) but seriously thanks...
I am now in a unique position after having moved to the north of Sweden and building a small house on wheels. So I now have very little overheads and plenty of long dark evenings on my hands
So I think I will put some more time and effort into poker now and see how far I can get with it. I will try and be more involved in the community too and post some hands for review etc..
On a side note if there is anyone in the Umeå area of Sweden who is up for a home game (small stakes) or knows of one already happening It would be cool to get that back in my social life.
Anyway after 1351Hands/16.68hours and a combination of Solid play, some total spew (just a little bit though;)) questionable bankroll management and best of all running great:f_cool: I am up $25.16/53bb/100 ($11.75/34.67bb All in Adj)
Anyway, apologies for the long 'rambly 'post (its kind of a family trademark)
Wish me luck as I boldly go where pretty much everyone on this site has been before....
See you on the felt ![]()
