Getting Started

I've been playing poker somewhat seriously for about 4 years now and my brother (http://judoinmylife.blogspot.com/) encouraged me to write a blog about my experience so I thought I'd give it a try.

In this blog I'll most likely be talking about some specific hands that I played or about my general feelings about poker. Hopefully I'll be posting lots of good experiences and not complaining too much about bad beats.

For the last 2 nights I've been attempting to earn the remainder of a bonus that was given to me at FullTiltPoker. Although I did earn the bonus I basically took a beating at the tables so earning the bonus only served to soften the blow somewhat. I'm not really a big fan of FullTiltPoker as I seem to experience many more bad beats there than at other sites. I think I'll start playing at PokerStars again for September and hopefully I can earn enough points so that I earn Gold VIP status at least. That way I can "purchase" some cool stuff with my points. The higher your VIP status, the better stuff you can buy. I already have a ton of points so I just need to get to a good VIP level to get the good stuff.

If I play tonight, I'll attempt to post my hands and thoughts from the tables. Until then I hope a few people can find this site and will be willing to comment on my play and add some insite to my game.
