Zero to hero... my £0 starting BR challenge
•Edited 8 years ago
Over the last couple of years I've had a couple of journeys on here charting my 25nl and 50nl struggles. And that is what they were... struggles! So much so that I often became frustrated with poker no matter how much I was learning, and in that time I learnt a heck of a lot and continue to do so! However due to my current break even 2 year patch at 25nl - 100nl (sky and stars) I have decided to withdraw my bankroll to enjoy IRL (leaving £100 on sky as a restart BR in case this challenge will fail, which it may well do seeing as i only have 3.5 buy ins to start with!
I enjoy poker, I love the game with all its complexities and idiosyncrasies. I want to make sure I am enjoying the game rather than just feeling like I'm banging my head against a brick wall (which honestly the last 2 years have felt like!)
So here it is...
I've signed up with Unibet through PokerVIP and am starting with my £10 free ticket. Which has given me 14.50 euros in my balance, so 3.5 buy ins at 4nl. So i feel as if I play tight, slightly aggressive ABC poker to begin with and with lady luck on my side I may be able to build a bankroll. For this challenge I will play with a slightly aggressive bankroll management. I'm not sure exactly when I'll move up, I need to suss out the games first, never played on Unibet before.
So I have a feeling this challenge will either take off and head towards a great challenge or fail pretty quickly... I just need that initial boost, so wish me luck!
I'm a hobby player, always have been as I have my own business which pays the bills. I play live once a week locally here in Newquay. I am a surfer, I ride and build motorcycles in my spare time, yup, I keep myself busy! I have a lovely wife who is currently carrying out first child... you could say I'm pretty lucky, however sometimes when playing poker it certainly doesn't feel that way!
I'll be back with an update after my first session...
... lets hope its not my last!
