Welcome readers!
This blog is designed to help me improve my poker game whether it's Texas Hold 'em, Seven Card, Omaha, HORSE or even Razz. This will be a place where I can chronicle my day to day or week to week poker play as I learn and advance my way through mostly online poker and live felt poker. As my blog title indicate, I won't reveal who I am but in time (or unless somebody else figures it out) I make myself know. And who knows when that'll take place. Maybe never.
Heh heh.....
Am I a professional poker player? Wouldn't that be the one lofty aim for all poker players? Let me tell you that I won poker playing 7 card stud winning one of Reno's progressive pot with my first ever clubs Royal flush against an 80 year old lady's full house. That was in 2002. Lately I have been playing more online than doing the actual felt action. And just to make things more challenging for me read my Absolute "Zero Cash" Poker challenge I have set for myself. Or maybe I'm lying to you just to throw you off and I'm not a professional poker player?
Heh heh...
I've decided not to put any money into the online poker choosing instead to start from 0$ and play those freeroll poker tournaments that cost nothing to play except your time, skill and patience.
I play mostly in Full Tilt poker and Absolute Poker. On occassion I play Pokerstars.net if they have any freerolls for me to play in. Also, I have one gold ticket in one online poker game for a stake in a tournament where last time they had non-cash prizes such as a 52 inch high def television which was probably worth around $2500 or so. Prizes went all the way down to 9th place, I think, giving out iPods. Whoopee. I'll be hanging on to that ticket for cash games.
My best so far in chip lead was placing 54th place with 103,000 chips against 2700 players but made the fatal mistake and wrong move on going all in with three players on the table didn't expect the 3rd player to go all in surpassing in amount my own chip. I was forced to play since I was already pot committed at the time in Absolute Poker. I ended up in 111 th place (yesterday I ended up in 102 nd place but already had a short stack by then in Absolute Poker). All I needed was to get into place enough to earn me a few dollars as a start and build on that. I think it's more challenging this way to force yourself to earn cash games by playing it more seriously rather than to have money drain from your own wallet. This way my poker skills will simply get better as time goes on.
Keep watching this blog while I continue to play online poker (and some felt work) chronicling my plays and thoughts.
See ya.
