Kaycee's Poker Journey Begins..
Hello VPP world and welcome to my inaugural post. I'm no poker pro. I'm no staticision. I'm absolutely and positively a poker newbie. In fact, it wasn't until February that I even put real money into the crazy world of online poker and now, like you (and don't try to deny it), I am hooked. I try to play poker everyday. I try to read poker everyday. I try to get better everyday.
I come by my card playing honestly. My parents play cards, my grandparents played cards..etc. etc.. I grew up playing cards. I used to joke that I came out of the womb playing cards.
I truly believe that some people have card brains and some people don't. Cards make sense to me. They always have. Poker was a very simple and obvious progression.
I started on those stupid little play money tables on Party Poker.com...they drove me crazy. I knew very little back then, but I knew that I wasn't going to learn how to play poker there. After a month of bumbling around in this silliness I knew it was time to get out of there lest I never truly learn to play.
From there I put my money into Paradise Poker and enjoyed some very early successes. I was playing limit hold'em and did okay at the 1/2 tables. I really didn't have the bankroll to be playing there, but I did it anyway..I was tired of making 50 cents at a time...it just didn't seem to be a good use of my time. I have since changed my opinion when it comes to bankroll managment but I'll get into that later.
So..I've been jumping around a lot since then. I can't seem to make up my mind what I prefer...limit, no limit, tournaments or ring games. Right now I'm reading the Harrington Series and can't seem to get enough of it and the no-limit tournament scene.
Tonight..I played more poker...I'm at Poker.com right now. And I think it's one of my favourites..they seem so very friendly there. I have made some money on their freerolls and am a big fan of the Sunday $20,000 freeroll...which I think is ending at the end of this month. sigh. I played a little bit of ring...my goal right now is to free up my bonus money, and get my comp points for freerolls without really hurting my bankroll, so when I play ring, I play super super super tight. I try not to lose more than $5.0o per session on ring games..(that's no limit .10/.25) so that I can invest my bankroll in tournaments and sit n goes (they just don't rack up the player points very quickly). I played four sit n goes tonight and placed third in one and first in two. So it was a good poker night for me.
You are now more or less caught up with my poker journey...now, we can take it together. Any comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Be well until we meet again.
