yes thats right i had a half decent night at poker at last
it could be months since i had even a glimmer of a good night playing, its been a mixture of playing like crap and when i have been playing good i have got unlucky. As i think alot of you know i play most my poker at stars and it has been tough times for a while now maybe a few months.
I opened up another account in another poker site last week and got a little NDB for $5 just to see what it was like and i doubled it up then thought feck hit a few tourneys with all my bucks and got no where and went busto All the same i like the look of the site with good tourneys and not many players which is always tempting to prob anybody who plays on stars after running like crap again today i thought feck it im going to make a little £10 deposit on my new site and see how it gos so i did just that.
i started of in a 5/10 cent cash game 6 handed (BRM did not come into play ) and started off not to bad left that room with 20 euros as thats what you play with on the site. I next moved on to 20/40 cent and did well in there built my stack up to 90 euros and then went a little insane and bluffed 70 euros away lmao so im sitting thinking what a fecking tit lmao but i gave myself a slap and got my s**t together and grinding it back up and now im sitting at £128 after crushing the table so i am chuffed with myself after my come back.
I was thinking i could do a little blog thing for a laugh. I have never did a blog of any sorts before but it could be fun as its likely to be a roller coaster and BRM will prob not be part of it would anybody be interested or will i take the ride myself I thought it could inspire me to not be so crazy if i have to tell my results of how things have gone
For anybody watching dont try this at home BRM is the way to be a winner

thats it calling it a day i am fecked now but rounded it off at £300 ($485) not a bad night from starting with £10 Just going to keep grinding these stakes for now, i think im maybe close to BRM now as i buy in with 30 or 40 euros maybe not BRM but close enough for me

You had a good run there.Keep it up. Bankroll management doesnt hurt, but at least if you dont following it, try not to bluff your way with big amounts like you did
I was reading scl's post and saw the screw BRM and for a second thought what the hell happened lol My mind went first to BankrollMob

I think all of us were tempted at beginning when we had under 50 dollars as bankroll to hit tables that are way up and tried to double the bankroll, but most of the times it meant the loss of the existent bankroll
I tried it once but i was able to win a bit more and starting to lose but i plugged the thing on time and i was on profit with my out of brm experience
Still this is a loosing strategy in time, so playing within the limits and grinding at the appropiate limits is the only way to grow your way up in the limits

well who cares about BRM when you are only putting 10 £, and you did have a good run playing above the limits. doesnt hurt now and then to hit the higher limits if you dont mind losing few $
so im sitting thinking what a fecking tit lmao but i gave myself a slap and got my s**t together and grinding it back up and now im sitting at £128 after crushing the table
