Sooooooooo...
I've been a member here for a long time, but have really only used the site to lurk, reading other member's blogs, etc.
However, in a recent attempt to take poker more seriously, improve my game, and just generally make a name for myself; I've decided to keep a blog. My hope is that keeping a regular blog will keep me honest about my game. Sure I could just not update when I play bad, but I'll just be avoiding myself, which never turns out well if you've ever tried it.
By way of an introduction: I grew up in Michigan, and now live in Burlington, VT. I went to school for way to long to never graduate, and currently sit about 24 credits away from a writing degree from Champlain College.
I've been playing poker for a couple of years, but have really only taken it seriously for about 10 months. I was playing online tournaments and live cash when I met my current backer through a friend in an online forum. Since then--February--I've been playing online tournaments up to $216 in a quest for a big score.
I've had pretty decent results--especially this past week when I shipped the Stars $50 1r+1a, the Tilt $10r, a Stars 20/180 and took 2nd in the Tilt 30K Guarantee ($109 6 max), my second 2nd in that tournament. I've been playing really well lately, especially late and in bubble situations where I've been finding myself accumulating more easily than I ever have.
Anyhow, I look forward to regularly updating this blog, and hopefully meeting some new poker friends.
Regards,
Hagbard
