Welcome to my new blog where i will be posting my random poker related interests and challenges
Ive been playing poker for a couple of years online and only really just turning a corner with my game.
Ive paid the price to learn the trade and now starting to play well and beat low limits.
Unlike before im starting to put time and effort to study and play more and getting better results.
I have also started playing live casino tourney's with a average field of 60+ entrants £30 buy-in and made a
few final tables and one 1st place for £750 :)
I play mainly at pokerstars but recently joined Fulltilt and deposit only £20 setting myself a challenge to
reach $500 in whatever time it takes playing turbo 6max micro's
My bankroll is now on $44 after 48 games
My username is on Fulltilt is TheBinkMeister - heres the results so far on my challenge
About $7 of this profit has come from a bonus and a cash game.

Im happy to be off to a winning start and hoping to build a bankroll playing $2.25 and moving up to $5 buy-ins
Im trying to be carefull and not play tilted or in any frame of mind that can affect my play which is hard sometimes like yesterday i was tired after playing a live tournament Thursday night where i reached the final table and bubbled in 5th place at 3am in the morning busting out with AQs vs pocket 88's :-(
we done a little deal though where 6th & 7th got $30 so at least i had a free night and gained valuable live experience.
Didn't help my challenge yesterday though and i was lucky to get it back on tracks winning $18 on my final tilted game last night .
Today im listening to poker mindset audiobook to try and deal with tilt issues ;)
So heres where im at ...... i love the game and have bought 20 poker books on Ebay and an ebook called Kill Everyone
Im also going to read more guides on the twoplustwo poker forums and im following pokerstars team online pro Andre Acoimbra who has set a challenge to turn $100 into $100k for charity.
Sick he's hit a peak of over 7k so far !
Andre is posting a lot of info and video's on youtube which helps inspire me lol
Also im going to start watching the 6max coaching video's on pokerstars school website .
At the moment im realistic about where im at as a player and its somewhere between shit and a half decent low limit player
i know i have an edge in the games i play by being tight aggressive but theres so much more i need to learn to play a solid game.
Theres lots i need to learn but then every player in the world feels that way .. or at least the ones who are good at the game .
Theres also a lot of players who think they are good and berate other players live or online and they dont realise how poor they really are at poker.
Live poker
Im enjoying playing live poker one night a week at my local casino and its even better because the competition is so poor.
Theres a handfull of half decent regs but majority are just gamblers looking for a way to make their money last a bit longer than the roullete machine and somewhere to hang out.
Strange though how players and even the better players give away so much important information by discussing every hand after showdown.
Online you just play and hope for information by there betting but live these guys are just donating all the info you need to give you work out a strategy to play against them.
Its still hard to win though because theres too many loose players on most tables and your big starting hands are often beaten when 4 numpties have called your preflop 4bet and staying in the hand to the end regardless
Its not unusall to see the biggest fish at the tables holding most the chips but they dont usually last and TAG strat is the best way to play .
One problem with live is that it takes so long to complete .. its a turbo like online but takes an extra 6 hours
The tournament i won started at 9pm and ended at 5am and there was only 60 entrants .
So you can imagine how it feels to bubble at 3am ;(
My Blog
Im going to be playing both live and online regularly and posting random stuff here so if you follow please let me know by leaving a comment because im not expecting loads of web traffic and it would be good to know that someone reading it or posting an opinion.
and dont be afraid to post your opinion or slate me if you think im doing wrong .. i dont claim to be a great player and its not what i do for a living .. Just trying to improve as a poker !
I will post a video of a 6max session soon :)
