 Full time poker thread |
 |
I am very new to the online world of poker (I have been playing since Oct. 2006). Due to a unique financial situation I do not have to work. So I am going to start playing poker full time. I will post everything that happens here, in this thread. It will be a way for me to keep track of the evolution of my own game, as well as a way to get feedback from other more experienced players. I am up about three hundred dollars since I began playing. Went through some very bad losses early on, due to my game just being bad. But have been able to bring myself back into the black. I will be putting $500 into my Full Tilt account to start off (looking to take advantage of the Bonus offer). My goal is to play at least eight 55 minute sessions a day, starting out at the 10NL tables. I am going to start over there, build my bankroll, then after maybe a month there move up to 25NL. I also like to play in tournies. So I will more likely than not play two tournies a day, maybe a sNg or two as well. I do not have Poker Tracker or any other tool yet, but am considering getting it once I have my bankroll up to $650, then to take the BR up to $1500 by the end of January. Anything that you guys and gals think might be helpful to me post up. Look forward to hearing from you. BTW I play a very loose and aggressive game.

May I suggest that you not only keep track of your play and your wins and losses.....you should keep track of how long you actually play.
Then take you win/loss number for ALL of your hours played since you started your test and calculate you average $/hour win rate.
If you did this $/hour win/loss rate for each session you will find huge swings...but, averaged over many hours, you will get a more realistic feeling of your earning/loss rate.
I wish you all the luck in the world ! ... I personally don't play online because I am afraid of poker-bots. And being paronoid, if I can't watch someone deal, I don't know what is happening with bits inside a computer.
Years ago when I used to be a card counter I did the same thing...then the casinos started getting too smart and made subtle changes to the rules so my win rate was not high enough to make it worth my time to play. Sure I can still win, but it is closer to a coin toss vs. a real strong positive edge for the player (which is what I had years ago).
BTW: Never play shuffling machines.
