I havent posted in quite a while, mainly because i haven’t really been playing much. I have spent some time reading poker strategy books and other poker guides. Mainly focusing on limit holdem play and working on the art of continuation betting and reading an opponents hand.

I have only been playing 25cent/50cent limit even though i am probably bankrolled for $2/$4 play. By playing the smaller limits it should give me a chance to learn the game although it seems like 50% of the players call every bet and hope for the best. To anyone not playing limit it is very profitable as i find more limit fish then there is no limit fish.  I’m up $90 or so mainly from having pocket pairs called down to the river from hands such as ace-king and ace-queen.

More updates will follow, with a much more detailed breakdown.

Yesterday night as i sat at my pc playing 2 cash games on carbon poker, i learnt probably one of the most important lessons i could, don’t tilt. Titling is when you play when you really shouldn’t be, normally after a bad beat. You go after your “lost” money by playing stupidly, normally overly aggressive. I did this, but luckily it wasn’t very costly for me and i only lost $30 or so, but it did put me back behind the $2000 mark.

Why did i tilt?

I tilted because i raised preflop $2 at a 25cent/50cent table, i held Ace-King the flop came down Ace-King-4 holding 2 pairs i elected to raise $3 in to a $4.75 pot. I was called, then the next card showed a 7 again i raised $7 again i had a caller, the board didn’t show a flush draw. The river came a 9, now there was no chance of him holding a straight or a flush, i bet another $11 into the pot, only to be called by pocket nines, ouch. So then i hit the lower limit’s knowing i wouldn’t be playing my best.

Today i played much better and will keep that for the next update, probably in a day or two.

The title pretty much explains what this post is about, i have finally turned my $1000 into $2000, still another $998,000 before i reach my goal, but doubling my poker bankroll is an achievement in itself! I reached this last night whilst playing heads up sit and go tournaments on CarbonPoker.

I played the $10 and $20 tournaments which went successfully with 4 back to back wins. Before yesterday my entire bankroll; carbon poker, ladbrokes poker and neteller combined stood at around $1900, but with a good winning day yesterday i managed to finish with $2012.

My next plans for turning this $2000 into $3000 involve;

• Testing out the $30 heads up tournaments.
• Playing in some larger MTT’s, probably with a buyin of $20.
• Experimenting with the 0.5/1 cash tables.
• Trying to play on some other poker sites.

I tried to calculate the amount of hours i have been playing so far, and it worked out around 200 in total, which means i am averaging $5 an hour, which seems very high for these stakes i am playing, maybe i have got lucky so far. Remember to bookmark this site to watch me try and achieve the next milestone.

I just wanted to post another quick update before the tournament i am entered in starts, 27 minutes away as i type this. I have stuck to heads up sit and go’s over the last couple of days, as i find these the most profitable games for me at the moment, i even tried a couple of $20 ones, resulting in a win and a loss.

I am concentrating on $10 and $5 ones at the moment, and playing a couple at a time, which take’s a bit of getting used to, but i find it more profitable even though my game is poorer when playing 2 tables, the amount i win increases as playing two tables counter-balances the small decrease in the skill level i play at.

Just another quick update for those that are interested in my bankroll mission. I haven’t had much success in MTT’s over the last few day’s, i entered a few small buy-in tournaments (less then $10). I have managed to keep my bankroll around the same level with a few head’s up sit and go wins. I entered the $5 heads up tournaments and luckily managed to win 5 on the trot, which really helped fund my multi table tournament habit.
