A little about me
mrspooh, Dec 20 2009
Hello all, I am a new poster here and thought I would post up a blog, as I am currently getting started (again) online. I have played poker four years, started playing on lunch breaks in school with a few friends who seemed to know the game. Basicly the four years I have played have been very up and down, until last year though I was an awful fish until last year, I have got heavily involved in the poker society at Leicester University this year and last and this has defiantly helped my poker, Last year I had a 2/3k roll but found myself dipping in and out of it too often, as i am a broke student with no job! So my roll was always pretty fluid and although i played nl50, i think i just rode variance up and down about break even.
Anyway this year I got a Job in March at a local casino, and now I have enough money back to really think about having an untouchable bankroll again. I have started up a small $200 roll at nl10 and I am going to do kickbacks and stuff to get my roll up to $1,000, which will mean i can play nl25. I took a shot over the summer when i had a 2k roll at nl100 and made like 1k in a week, then blew it all back at nl200, being a moron, my girlfriend found out and took my roll off of me, put it in an account and said i cannot touch it until i can actually learn to play only with what i can afford to lose ( shes brilliant at keeping me level headed)
I know realise i can’t justify having no car, no house and no holiday booked whilst playing nl50. So I’m proving to her i can build my own roll outside of it affecting us, since i moved in with her in july she has every right to boss me about money tbf.
Anyway i have played some live MTT’S in Birmingham and won a little bit of cash (like $400) so i said i would use half of it for a online roll roll. A friend of mine introduced me to kickbacks and i just finished my first one on Stars. Going well so far, i have managed to really push hard over the first 11k hands. Heres the graph for you guys keeping it up is my main goal for sure, but 15 bb/100 might be a little much to maintain  .
