I've been addicted rather than dedicated to poker for around four years. After a decent spell away from the game, I'm back. Having beaten poker addiction and ready to study more than ever, I'm mounting an attack on my previous MTT statistics at Poker Stars and aiming for the sky this time around. Below is my shark scope graph to date. 570 games played and stuck $299, an R.O.I of -20%



Screen name is '14thstreets' Please root an rail for me, ill need it I'm starting with $13. Don't worry ill be using strict BRM at the micro MTT's. This thread will be the home of my story.

Regards,

Nasher.

gl!

Thanks very much, that means a lot. I'm currently in the money in a $0.10 MTT, hopefully the first tourney of the story goes well.

Not a bad start, I cashed in my first MTT,

PokerStars Tournament #317071532, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $0.10 USD

Dear 14thstreets,

You finished the tournament in 240th place. A USD 0.51 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

Going forward I'd like more substance to my updates here, informing you what happened during the tourney, posting hands etc. I'm currently downloading HEM again after I removed it from my pc, so that should help a lot. I'm not quite sure exactly how to go about this, any suggestions?

Bankroll $13.41

I'm going to need to stick to a very strict BRM if I wish to succeed, so your prolly going to see me play a few of the $0.10 360's.

I guess the 360 $0.10 format hasn't changed fish wise, I'll remain positive despite this.

Bankroll £13.31

My advice would be go play the $0.25 45 or 90 person SNGs instead. They would be shorter to play and more profitable, which for me at least makes it more fun.

Yeah I kinda agree, but 52 BI's is kinda loose BRM don't you think? hopefully I go on a heater with these $0.10 games and move up very quickly.

Haven't got the best internet connection here at the moment, lost connection and my stack got eaten by the blinds, but a cash is a cash.
