BETTER GET THERE - A JOURNEY

The purpose of this blog is to teach myself (and all the readers) how to become a successful poker player. This means starting from $2000 and working my way up to big games.

I will post statistics and strategies as well as stories and facts from the "real life" away from the computer.

Getting to be a successful poker player is not just about playing poker and thinking about it. It's also taking care of your health (both physical and mental), planning your future and other things that have nothing to do with poker.

Journey to big games starts now and I ... better get there.

My story is one of those and I hope everyone who reads my blog will tell different story.

Internet is full of guidelines for bankroll management and I've come to conclusion that a safe semi-conservative approach to small stakes

Background and some future plans

Posted 26th June 2008 at 09:14 AM by BtrGetThere

Background:

I have played poker for few years from which it was two years my only source of income. I did pretty well playing games up to 10/20 NL until few horrible drunken days early 2007... I lost pretty much everything resulting in ”Life Tilt” (in some instances people have used term “Perma Tilt” to describe same kind of tilt).

Few words about Life Tilt... it’s a state of mind in which everything seems to go just plain wrong. Every coin flip lost feels
