Just a quick update on my recent progress

The site i predominantly play at (Poker Rewards) has had a promotion this month which has seen me play more then double my average number of hours at the table to reach it. I have to earn 2,000 raked hands in a month to get $100 for free. I've got a week left to do it but am only a couple hundred short so should make it no problem.

The great thing about this promotion though is not the impending bonus im abouts to recieve...

Just a short entry to state my recent change in strategy in regards to steadying my bankroll and building confidence in my own ability. After taking some rather sick beats, playing very badly, and not trusting my reads, i've managed to lose a total of about $400 in cash games over the last 3-4 days...

I'm very susceptile to tilt, and when things are going bad, they get worse. When things are going good however, and im feeling confident, i can go on some amazing streaks.

** Alaisiagae [Hold 'em] (0.25|0.50 No Limit - Cash Game) Real Money

Wow! What a night of highs and lows i had last night!

I joined a local poker club/card room that strictly hosts poker tournaments last night. I've never played live before in a serious tournamnet format, only round friend's houses, and this was with pieces of paper not real chips!

It was a £10 rebuy tournament with a double chip add on at the end of the rebuy period for an extra tenner. There were 2 45 minute levels during the rebuy period, then 20 minute levels til...

After reading with great interest the blogs of several community members here, i've decided to write my own in the hope that others may learn from the inevitable mistakes i am going to make, and so that i have something to look back over when tracking my progress.

I have not been a member of this forum for long, so will start with a brief introduction. My name is Joe, I'm 18 years old, and am currently at college studying business management. I've been playing poker since the age...
