THE START

The basic premise for this idea is to turn my attentions to playing internet poker to see how much I can win or lose. I have been playing poker for a couple of years now but have mainly be playing out in live games or Casino's over the last year. I have been reasonably successful playing at different levels but will never make a decent amount from these games.
I have dabbled in internet poker before but have never really given it the proper attention it deserves, so I am conducting this experiment / blog to see what my fortunes can be.
I will update regularly after each session posting my starting stack for the evening, my game selection, buy in amounts, my hand histories, but I will also post comments on key hands which arise during the session and my thoughts on how I played these hands. I will not only highlight what good moves I made and why, but also what bad moves I made.
It is at this point where you can feel free to post any comments on my style of play, hand selection, betting ect... that you feel fitting.

I will also update once a month what my goals and plans are for the month ahead so I can reflect on what I have done over the month. Obliviously a million is a very long way off if not near unattainable, but if you don’t set yourself goals you cant fail properly...

For this experiment I will invest $50 dollars into fulltilt.com, a site I have played since it started but never properly played cash.

As much as I want to chuck $2000 bucks into my account to see me past all the low level tables of fish and start at a reasonable level, this will not represent a true starting point for many a player depositing for their first times. In other words, the first 3-6 months are going to be a pure grind, something I am used to, but am not looking forward to having to do. As a result I will have to set myself realistic goals, the main one being for the first 6 months of trying to freeroll, lowroll into one of the medium sized guaranteed tourneys.

Let the journey begin....
