Starting from scratch
emcast, Oct 11 2009
i have grinded low stakes to mid stakes poker seriously for 3-4 years now on mostly microgaming software and recently set myself a challenge to grind from $600 and see if i can finally make it to high stakes. So here i will start my first blog on my way to the top!!
Firstly i decided to change sites and change alias to start a fresh i deposited 600 dollars and started playing 1/2nl short stacked. my strategy here was to slow play my big hands ( hoping not to get busted ) and play fairly tight although with position in mind always trying to steal blinds with min raises and reraise agressive players with resonable starting hands. i find that this seems to work as regulars do not want to get involved with shortstakers when they have average holdings.
i have started writing this blog after just over 2 months of play, below shows my EV
summary for last 2 months
1. i have taken afew shots at 3/6
2. not played much heads up , which i belive is one of my strengths, will hopefully progress to more when i get my roll up
3. once i got my roll up to 2k i started 6 tabling with full buy in
anyways i will continue this more in depth, with afew interesting hands and plays , i will hopefully try and give a day/weekly update
cheers
