Week 1 is over mixed results

So this last week my goals were to get up to 5 dollars and to get one fpp. Last week I had to work about 62 hours, plus working out 6 days and having a g/f and going out thurs (for the story of the year concert, it was a blast), Friday and saturday. So I only go to play 3 sessions, each about an hour a piece. So the first two days i brought my total from 3.40 to 4.80 by winning in 2/4 limit holdem and 1/2 no limit. The 10 and 2 cent tourneys I played in were not too successfull. Then last night I played for about an hour and a half, I was so tired to I want playing too hot, i lost in 2 tourneys and was losing in the cash game too. Then in my last 10 cent tourney with 360 people in them I got ninth place for like 60 cents. So I finished last night at 4.80 which isn't too bad and I work a lot less this week so my goal will be to turn 4.80 into 10 and still have my goal of 20 bucks for the month of march. Also I had a great weekend, so much fun and a lot of working out and a little work, it was short but well lived.

I was considering making a TV show about a mentally challenged person thats a cop and a duck for his sidekick to fight crime. The show would be called tard and feather......

The beginning of my new poker adventure/ the reason im making this blog

Hello, this is my first ever blog and I just wanted to say hi to anyone that accidently runs into it. Like you can read in my profile I am a 23 year old TA that is looking a full time teaching job. But this blog was started mainly for my current poker interest. My poker background is that I used to play home games avidly when I was a junior/senior in highschool and then my other players moved away so I quit playing, and bought a 97 taurus on basically my 3,000 dollars that I had in poker winnings in my room. I know baller, the tauras looked like a big fuckin turtle and was apposed to having the heater work. ANYWAYS the reason I started playing poker was that I went to play for the first time at the casino over the summer (before I started working 53 hours a week) and won both times I played. So I deposited 50 bucks into pokerstars at the end of the summer and gave it a shot. I fell on my face failed. I went into this thinnking that I already knew how to play poker and well internet poker is way different. So I read about how Chris Fergeson had taken 0$ and played freerolls and in 17 months turned it into 10k. I obviously don't expect that big of an upturn but I figured I'd give it a shot. So I played in a special free tourney sponsored by pokerstars having its 40 billionth hand and I won a whopping 4.25$. Which sounds like nothing because it is. Well I played in a 2 dollar tourney and lost half of it before deciding i need to try to turn this into something and write about how far I came. I started this on march 1st. Every week I will post a goal for the week and every month I will post a goal for the month. My goal for the week of March 1st is to get my bankroll to 5$ from the 3.40, which sounds easier than it is because i cant risk losing it on something dumb, so i will be playing 2 or 10 cent tourneys along with 1 cent 2 cent no limit holdem. My Goal for March is to have 20 bucks and at least earn 10FPP, Frequent player points. Now I will leave with a joke......

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.



I hope you enjoyed the first of many and wish me luck and good play as I begin my low roller poker adventure!!!
