An Introduction from a new poker blogger

Hello Guys,

I'd just like to introduce myself and explain why I have started this blog. First things first, i'd like you all to know that I had never gambled one cent, until around 2 years ago! Then i joined a poker company and started playing poker for leisure. I've seen people win alot of money but I always thought it was luck and I only ever viewed poker as a leisure activity.

But now i know you can make a nice living from a beautiful and (sometimes) fun game. I started playing on paynorake.com, because they give good rakeback deals and pay it out daily. You can also track how much your raking daily, which is neat.

I deposited $20 and in 10 days turned it into $500 by playing well. Making good bets and folding when it was important to. Im no poker God but I know when im beat.

This brings me on to why I've started this blog. Its because i make stupid mistakes and I keep making them and I WANT TO STOP lol.....One fine example is today. I'd played well and in 30 mintues I was up $40.

I was playing on 15/25c tables and there was a small raise to 75c and I was big blind and called with a suited hand K9 of diamonds. There were 2 other betters. Jc2d9d came out. Wooooot, flush is on but player 1 raised to $2.50 and I called, now player 3 went all in with $40. Yes you got it, I called and that last blue diamond didnt come out. All my poker effort down the drain and back to square one. Oh player had pocket kings but lost on the river to trip jacks (ace high).

So, I've started this blog to record all my mistakes, under the watchful and mocking eye of all you poker stars:) I will alo jot down my playing hours and how much money i've lost or made. So cya tomorrow.
