got myself back in the black on my FTP account...finally, been really up and down on there the last few weeks, but been really happy with my poker in the last few days and got my roll on ftp from $30 to back up to over the $100 i got free :D

the hand that got me past the 100 came at the perfect time, just after a hand that played out almost identically

hand 1

and then hand 2

so hopefully up up up from here

played in a few tournaments aswell in the last few days, done ok, nothing specially, only cashed in one though. A bit unsure of my tournament play, sometimes im really happy with it but alot of the time i get angry at myslef for playing too nitty or too loose , but still learning so looking forward to trying to improve that part of my game (along with the rest of it :D)

thanks

Well i started playing online poker a few of months ago, had played a bit with friends and stuff before then but never for money, due to the law mainly, and my friends didnt want to.

Started using the free $50 on titan poker, came onto my account as £25, didnt notice the change in curreny at first and was like...wtf?! but anyways, manages to get that up to about £60 in my first month all was well and good.

decided to my hand on FTP after that, thought the standard would be better on there and would force me to improve at a quicker rate. Managed to double my $50 to $100 within a couple of weeks, and then lost about $20 of that over the next few weeks, went on holiday with some friends for a couple of weeks, and when i came back had my best 2 days ever, made $70 in 2 days! woop, and the came my first almighty downswing , was partly due to bad play i think, but felt like all my good hands got no action, and on the odd ocation they did they end up being out drawn. After a couple of weeks of the i found myself down to like $30 :/

So I decided to take a break, which was a bit longer than planned, but i wont get into that, and thats where i am now, made another $20 on FTP so back to $50 and still at £60 on titan. Got so books to read and vids to watch, so hopefully it'll be an upward curve from now

thanks for reading
