Not bad for an hour...
Hey all.
Well I sat down at a 0.15/0.30 game of holdem and made about 4 dollars in an hour. Not too shabby. I had some good cards but no monster hands. The table in general was weak/tight so I was able to knock people off hands with raises and such. Very cool. That brings it up to about $53.00.
While I was waiting for a table, I played some Omaha 8's at one of the play money tables. I'm really starting to like this game but I'll need to build my bankroll more before considering money games. The lowest game available is 0.50/1.00 so money games will have to wait a bit.
So how did I get into the game of poker to begin with. I guess, like everyone else, I started watching it on television. I downloaded software from one poker site and just used play money but was terrible at it. I started reading some books (SS II, SSHE, ToP etc..). I then did an experiment.
Here in Toronto, the CNE runs a charity casino during the last two weeks of August. With $100, I went and sat down at a 5/10 limit holdem table. By playing tight/aggressive, I walked away with $450.00 in about 4 hours. Not too shabby. It made me realize that I can play the game with the right tools and discipline.
However, I didn't want to put real money online as my wife wouldn't be thrilled. The free bankroll promotion from Poker Source Online made it possible so the "experiment" continues.
Gotta jet.
