So thanks to Deyna_Otter I'm getting back into poker.
I signed into my Full Tilt for the first time in probably a few months. My cash bank roll had been left stagnant at $2.40 for the longest time, I just had a bad run so I haven't touched it in a while...
I started out warming up with some play chips which was an awful idea because, since it's not real money, people will go All-In on every hand, doesn't matter what it is... which is no way to play and just pointless, so I checked out a couple of the smaller cash games with $2.00 buy-in and such.
Had a couple of decent hands against 4 others at the time. People in the small cash games, very much like play chips, do not play very seriously, though better than the no-money d-bags and it actually gives you a sense of accomplishment when you take them down.
Ended up wiping out the table and winning eveyone else's all-in calls ;)
So from $2.40 after a couple of hands, I am back up to $10.71.
Yes, I understand that 10 bucks is not much, but I'm feeling more confident in my poker skills because of it. I'll continue playing the smaller games until I get my bank back up to probably $50 minimum again.
I would like to start building up to play in a Mini-FTOP tourney pretty soon too. Low buy-in tournament with some good cash prizes, chances of cashing out too are like, I believe, up around the 12-15% range on Full Tilt Poker which gives me a better chance at, at least, knowing my level of play against more serious competition online which I haven't done in a while.
I think i'll start progressively updating my journal about this too, at least to keep track of my personal progress and possibly get some tips from fellow poker furs on bad beats :3
Wish me luck! :)
