New Beginnings

I've been playing poker for only a short time, in the grand scheme of things. I first sat a table only about 4 years ago. My friend asked me to come over to a small home game. I had never played a hand of Hold' em in my life. But as soon as i heard the chips clattering, i was hooked.

I've won and lost thousands of, been to many different places, and even started working in the industry, since that day. My life truly revolves around the game. I deal 5 nights a week, play at least twice a week at the casino, and play about 40 hours a week online. I cant tell you the last time ive actually turned my TV on, because i watch Live At The Bike on the internet everynight.

I've come to realize that the more you know, the more you will win. And thats what ive been doing up until this point. LEARNING! I play small games at the casino, and very small stakes on the net. But its all knowledge, none the less.

I've been studying my game, along with many other people. I've probably seen more hands played than anyone i know. And I think its time. I think its time to start playing for real. It's time to build a bankroll and move up the poker ladder.

And so the challenge begins. Check back often for updates. I know you probably don't care about what's going on with my game, so i'll throw in some comic relief here and there. And of course you opinions, comments, and suggestions are always welcome.

This is my first attempt at a blog of any type, so feel free to critque me. And wish me luck...
