Stevie trips and falls.
The other day I talked about online players and their avatars and names that they use. I wondered if the players thought that either their avatars or their screen names gave them some extra power or strength. Knowing that many players are superstitious I thought it might be interesting to speculate about in the post. One [...]
Goals yet to be reached
It is a good thing that I am not dependent on my earnings from poker as I seem to be stuck. My bankroll needle stands at $171.00 or about 34 buy-ins of A$5.00 each. Last night I played in my second Guarantee tourney on Full Tilt Poker, an affiliate site. The last one I attempted [...]
What is in a name
I play a lot of Rush Poker on Full Tilt Poker, an affiliate link, because I play using my Android SmartPhone. One of the things that I noticed while playing are my opponents names and the avatars that they have chosen. Some of the names are the person’s first name and an initial and/or number to create a [...]
Grinder
Grinder – Poker Glossary A grinder is the same as a rounder. These tend to be semi-professional players that make most of their money playing poker, though they do not make much … The above definition was supplied from the Poker Tips Website. Grinding is what I am trying to do although at the limits [...]

A losing session yet my bankroll grows – slightly

Using a Step 3 ticket
In my quest to build up my bankroll, I have been entering into what is called Step Sit and Go Tourneys. These are usually one or two table tourneys, with first and second place winners getting a ticket to the next Step. You can play from Step 1 thru Step 7, with the winners getting [...]
Not really playing within my bankroll
Ok. So I am playing short stacked. I have about $150 on Full Tilt Poker, an affiliate. Playing the .02/.05 No Limit Cash games gives me about 30 buy-ins, which is a far cry from the 100 buy-ins I should have. I will continue to try growing my bankroll one session at a time. I [...]
Playing within my bankroll
I am currently on a new poker quest. It may sound the same as some of my prior goals, but this one is a little different. I am trying to play online based on my bankroll at the sites I am playing. Ideally, I should have a bankroll on a poker site with equivalent to [...]
