A New Beginning

I guess an introduction would be appropiate to begin with. Name is Dominc, 22 years old, been playing poker for 3 years now. Mainly nlhe, but I have just started to get myself familiar with other games of poker, lhe, lots of 2-7 low-ball, and some lo8. I currently play limits between .50/1 and 1/2 nl, and 2/4 limit through 5/10, only once dipping my feet into a 10/20 2-7 game on stars.

So why do I deserve to have my own poker blog, what have I done that makes me worthy? I'll tell you right now the best is yet to come. If all goes as planned, I will be killing mtt's beginning today and for the month of april. Thats the short term goal for now.

I have had small amounts of success in my road to becoming a semi-pro poker player thus far. Aside from going broke twice (well pretty damm close anyway), I have clearly been a winning poker player over the last 3 years. Most recently I have turn a $600 bankroll in December into at its highest peak, a $7,000 BR in early March. Some of it form cash games, but most of it from the big mtt score. Which is why I have decided that I am going to dedicate April to playing mtt's. for more results you can look me up... bigchipshi on stars/party, and stylinhawyn on fulltilt. I believe I have just over 20k of total winnings (all 3 sites) according to thepokerdb.com

Up until recently, i dedicated all of my time to cash games (where I will admit there is more money to be made vs mtt's), but I have endured a recent downswing that has hurt my BR by about 30%. So i kind of want to get away from all of that and focus on another aspect of the game, a game that I feel I will be more successful at personally. I feel like I have a greater edge for my playing style in a tournament structured game vs cash games.

So I will be updating this blog at least every day to every other day, with results and my thoughts of what happened. I am hoping that this will motivate me to play hard and finally make something of my poker career. I want to go on a sick rush in April and prove to everybody and myself, that I have what it takes to be a top notch poker player.

My goals are to final table at least 3-5 $20-$70 or $3 - $5 rebuy mtt's. With at least 2 scores of $2,000 plus. I'm aiming very high I know... but what have I got to lose for shooting big?
