About

This blog is dedicated to exploring the world of poker, specificly that of no limit holdem. As a student I have an incredible amount of freetime, and recently I average at about 2-3hours of play online everyday. I have been playing no limit holdem for 3 years and it is only this year that I have made the extra effort to get better. I read copious amounts of poker books, play consistently online and rarely turn down a live game. However, being a student my funds are low and my bankroll is limited because of this. This is gambling, don't gamble with what you can't afford. My bankroll is roughly $200, because of this I can't play the higher stake games and so I play micro. It has come to my attention that the rake in micro stakes poker is tremendously detrimental to your earnings. I hope to one day break free from the treacherous micro stakes and play poker professionally.

I will be covering basic strategies for beginners such as starting hands, bet sizes, pot odds,etc. After a sound foundation has been set, I'll expand the range of hands that you can play in or out of position. I'll also cover more advanced techniques such as stacking someone, slow playing, protecting your hand, table image, floating, check-raising, metagame and exploiting timing tells. I will outline the profiling of players, online tells that I've noticed and bankroll management.

As I have already announced, I read an awful lot of poker books, I will write reviews , summaries and lessons that I have learnt. I have a bankroll project in which I aim to reach $10k. A time limit has yet to be set.
