Everyone else is doing it...

Alright, well I've been thinking about starting a blog for quite some time now. Finally I just decided I'd just start it off, and what better day than Tuesday the 3rd of January? Truth is, I just got back to Germany this morning after being in America for two weeks. Now I'll be able to get back in the flow of every day work and hopefully every day poker playing. I'll be doing this blog in English because it comes naturally to me, whereas in German I need to really concentrate on what I am writing and my posts are often filled with errors.

I set a goal for myself to build my bankroll to atleast $20K by the end of 2006. This won't be a blog that becomes a diary of my goal or anything like that, the $20K goal will just be something I have in the back of my mind as I track my results throughout the year.

So far the year has been running pretty well for me. I deposited $600 onto PartyPoker a little over a week ago in order to get a 30% bonus up to $150. Since then I was able to make a $1375 score at a $30+3 MTT as well as have a nice little run in the 200NL cash games. After 10.5 hours of gameplay playing a total of 1500 hands, I was able to make an additional $803.72 as well as clear a $150 bonus, which will make for a nice little cashout.

I am now going to shift my focus to CelebPoker. I still have a little bonus to clear there, and I will be getting 25% rakeback from http://www.poker-tester.com, man those guys are good :) I'll be playing $1/$2NL but I also plan on throwing in some nightly tournaments.

Sorry for making this first post so long, I'll try and update the blog once a day. Stay tuned!
