A dime, a nickle, and a penny. That's my poker bankroll. Can I turn it around? Can I turn those coins into a fortune on the green felt? I have been fascinated by the game of poker since I was sixteen years old and I read "The Biggest Game in Town" by A. Alvarez. His iconic account of the 1981 world series of poker is thought of by many as the finest book of its kind. When Chris Moneymaker won the main event in 2003 I was one of the millions inspired to try my luck at the game they call Texas Hold'em. I played for two years on a variety of online sites and when I cashed out for the last time I was around fifty dollars ahead. Chris Ferguson wasn't losing any sleep over me but most people lose money so I wasn't complaining.
In November 2009 I decided to scratch the poker itch again. I deposited twenty dollars on poker stars and now, as of January 4th 2010 I have sixteen cents. I could blame bad beats, mostly though it is bad play that has brought me this low.
I have a goal. I want to make 1,000 dollars per month playing online poker. I want to learn this game and use it to change my life. Can I do it? This blog will record my journey. Care to come along?
