Rough First night

I think I mentioned in my first post that I did have a chance of going broke. Well, let me tell ya. I have been to my last buyin twice so far but I'm currently sitting on 18.04...A little less than 3 Buy-in's @ the 6.25 level. I'm going to stay @ the 6.25's even thought there is a 50/50 chance of going broke.

It was so bad that I had to sit @ the 1cent 2cent table just to make 14 cents to buy-in one last time. I got lucky for once and I did win that tourney.

I may be short but trust me. I will not play like I'm "Scared Money"

Here are my stats so far:

swanny 30 -$1 $6 -17% -$32

Let's hope these stats get better or I'm going to be sending some money to Costa Rica via Western Union....lol

Turning $49.08 into 5000 Dollars on Pokerstars

Too make a long story short, I'm not going to lie but I'v been running bad on Pokerstars lately.

It all really started when I left my pokerstars account logged on one night and I had to run out the door. Before I left I had about 800 some dollars in my account and when I logged in the next day I had about 4.88 cents. For sure I thought that I was hacked but after a little research and some help from the peeps at pokerstars support I found out that it originated from my house. Too make a long story short, My 8 yr. old decided to play a couple hands of 40/80 Badugi. LOL, he was discarding cards and all and there goes 800 bucks in 2 hands.

I wasn't really worried about the cash as I did have some cash laying around from some other cash games so I took advantage of pokerstars WCOOP deposit bonus.


This is where I did something that I haven't done since my Paradise Poker days. I came home after about 20 drinks and emptied my account playing 5/10 stud...WTF...I never play stud on the Internet. I would rather poke a hot stick into my eye...

OK...enough BSing here is my plan. And the only reason I'm blogging my plan is I figure. If I can just get one person to follow I will feel obligated to stick to my plan.

50 bucks...Now this isn't really too much to start with. I know Chris F. started with like a dollar and turned it into 10K but I'll admit I'm not Chris F.

I'm going to start playing at least 50 hopefully closer to 100 $6.25 Heads up Turbo per week. I want to grind these until I get to 330 dollars. If I'm going to go broke it will be within the first week. Since I'm starting under 10 Buy-in. I don't recommend for everyone to follow.


At the 6.25 level I have been able to ave. about 1 dollar profit per SNG. This will put my @ 4-6 weeks at this level.

I'll post more as my progress moves along. This is my first blog so please don't beat up on me too badly...

If you like to follow my progress my nick on Pokerstars is swanny.
