An Introduction

I never cared for diaries. I always felt that I should never be looking backwards, and always look ahead.

Can't really remember any other reasons. If I kept a diary I would have remembered.

I've been playing poker for a year, getting hooked on it playing Zyngas free poker on Facebook and realising I "got it" straight away. I was winning easily without having any basic idea how to play, simply playing too many hands was my major fault, and shoving all my chips in with strong hands that were at least 2 removed from the nuts.

Now its a year later, I've racked up a few (6) live tournaments at the local casino and cashed in two of them, and I play extremely regularly online (Full Tilt & Ultimate Bet(I'll explain why in a future blog) for small profits.

So this blog is mostly for my own musings, but welcome anybody wanting to throw in their five cents (or raise to fifteen cents.. ba dum tish).

For all those players whom a nights profit of $2.40 is cause for a fist pump, and a final table in a $1 MTT is cause for a whooping celebration and victory lap around the house.

For all those players who get their money in good with pocket tens on a J 10 J rainbow board and lose to J 10.

For all those.. players, not pros, but for the love of the game.
