I forgot to title this post

As poker players, we're all in it for the free money. We love the feeling of sitting at a game and knowing that we're the best at the table. We smile everytime we make the correct play and we laugh when we take a suckers money. My quest to turn a 5 spot into untold millions has been spent at the ultra low stakes limit tables at pokerstars. The money is there for the taking but you have to be patient and be able to handle the bad beats that are part of the framework of that game. Patience is the name of the ultra low limit game. So, Why am I typing this, I dont know, but stick with me I'll find my point eventually. Anyways, 2 days ago I took a buck 8 into a .01-.02 NL table. I played for less than 15 minutes and walked with a dollar profit. Later I took another buck in and doubled it in about the same amount of time. These are profits that took an hour at a .02-.04 table and over a half hour at nickel dime. The people at the low stakes just pay you off on everything. So, this post doesnt really say much, but I guess the point is, If your'e looking for me online now, Ill be at a NL table. Happy poking!

Note: this post was written before the inevitable string of bad beats I'm sure to endure, I'm just riding a wave. Peace Out, Vote for Bush

Not broke, Yet!

So, I know I've been away for a while, sorry.  My cousin back in Cincinnati got married last week so I went home for the wedding.  I played some .02-.04 at pokerstars last night for about a half hour.  I wasn't really playing to win just playing to play.  The presidential debate was on and that took most of my attention.  My stack varied from down fifty cents to up those 2 quarters, I finished down a nickel.  The results were better than expected because I was playing like a moron.  I would see the flop with just about any 2 cards and bet when I hit anything at all.  I shoulda just left when I was up but I was having fun and so I stayed.  Also, I played a few hands of 100/200 play money Omaha at fulltilt the other day.  Made a good score and finished up 56,000 putting me over 1 million play chips.  The play money at fulltilt is what keeps me sane playing the ultra low stakes at stars.  It's nice to have a table to go where I can play any cards I'm dealt.  Anyways, I'm still here, I'm gonna change the type of stuff I post here in the future so stay tuned.  See ya!

still here

still here, ill update soon, very soon, havent playin in well over a week, have 43.73 in the bankroll, more to come including a change in what im posting, peace out

40oz of money

I wanted to include 40oz in the title of this post but couldn't find a good way to do it. I wouldn't let that stop me so I apologize. Anyways I do have some poker news to input. So, I've been doing the experiment for almost 2 months now (I figure) and today I hit a new peak. My pokerstars account has a grandtotal of $40.00 in it as of right now. So, I'm up 35 bucks over that amount of time. It's been slow going but overall positive. I've been playing 2/4 cent way too much recently. I made the big gains today playing at .05-.10 and I think I need to stick with that. I know I can beat that level I just need to do it. Anyways, I'm gonna go play some more and I'll update again later. Peace out

progress

It's 1:10 eastern time, I'm still going strong with the side bet.  It sucks but 5 bucks is worth it.

A Side Bet

One of the guys I work with bet me 5 dollars that I can't go a whole day at work without looking at any websites other than official Air Force sites.  Thank goodness for being able to update the experiment from my email account.  The bankroll is at $37.29 after a long weekend.  I haven't played since Tuesday because my wife just got home from Cincinnati where she was taking her state board test for cosmetology.  I recently got Lee Jones book on winning low limit hold'em and I have read through the first part of it.  I like using it as a basis for hands that I can and can't play.  I really feel like it will help even though it doesn't cover much new ground for me.  The book has taught me a few things about position that I hadn't thought of before.  Putting more emphasis on position has really helped my game to feel stronger even though I'm not yet winning any more money.  Hopefully it will help with the swings, That would make me more than happy.  I never really made any exceptional plays this weekend, just played my regular, tight game and walked with a profit.  One thing that worries me is that I prefer to play 2 and 4 cent over .05/.10 because it just feels better to me.  The players are the same I just handle the ultra tiny bets better in my head.  Sometimes I feel like my game is off when I'm at a higher level.  This is something I must fix if I ever want to play at even a midrange level.  I'm not sure what to do other than just look at the money as a bet not as a specific dollar amount.  If I can make myself think of it that way I think I will be fine.  Hopefully I'll get a chance to put in a few hours this weekend and then I hope to have a update that says I'm over the 40 dollar mark.  It should be just around the corner.  Well, back to work.   I still have some GMAIL accounts if anyone wants one, email me at AMMOJOE@gmail.com
