my poker life

as most of my friends know i play poker like every week. i started i think like 2yrs ago? i knew how to play but wasnt good at it so i actually trained on facebook and learned strategies lol. after i started winning online i played at the casino. i was surprised how many people plays worst than on facebook. but bad players leads to bad beats...which i had all nite last nite and on the tournament i was in this morning.

i was reading some articles and one of the tip was to "keep track" of your winnings and losings. im pretty good at that but i found an android app on my phone "poker session log" which u put in how much u bought in for, amount cashed out, time u played, etc. and it calculated how much im making an hr and also graphs it so u can see how ur going up or down. i recommend to anyone who plays poker, its a good way to see how ur doing overall. u can win over 400 one nite and u think ull b ok for few weeks but u can also lose alot.

i played tournament for the first time today at oceans eleven. 45$ buy in. 25$ blinds to begin with. i think u start off with 3k or 3.5k. blinds go up every 10mins....yea it feels like it goes up every 2 hands. i was getting short stacked but waiting for a good hand like A K or even A Q and going all in pre flop got me to survive for 2hrs. when it was 2tables left (top 10 players, who evers in when theres only 1table wins) i got a AA for my second or third hand, went all in with small and big blind on my left with 2people calling the 1600 blind. i thought i won for sure but the guy with 55 called and destroyed me by turning a straight. i had fun so i think it was worth playing and i wanna play again. what i learned was you have to b aggressive than how u usually play. tip i read online was that once people r in the hand they would call even though its not a good hand to call a raise with. also u hav to bluff sometimes. example: blind was 100 i raise to 300 with AJ 2 guys put in 100 already so they call by putting 200 more. flop was 665 i had position and they both checked, i raise 1000 they both fold and i won 600 from the raise i did preflop.

im gonna start playing twice a week now and save up until i can buy a car lol
