Blog Up - The Journey Begins.

Alright, this blog will be up and running until my goal has been accomplished.

What is my goal you say? I want to stop losing out while on the bubble, and start making it into the money on a consistent basis. Now I don't wish to be winning hundreds of dollars, I simply want to increase my enjoyment while playing low buy in tourney's/sit and go's (under 10$) by winning. Everyone wants to win. :)

I have been playing poker online for a couple months now, and for the past week I have started to play with real money. Lets just say, I cant go back.

I intend to post a few videos a week of some of the games I play. Maybe i'll get enough traffic coming through here taking a look at my videos that such experienced plays will notice common trends in my playing and improvements I can make.

I would love to have some 1 on 1 couching or in depth analysis's done on my playing, so I don't mind straightforward critiques so long as an explanation is given.

I've tried playing both aggressive and passive, and while I feel that being aggressive most of the time is a little un-natural for me, it's a MUST DO if I want to be making it into the money on a regular basis. So I guess I just have to practice practice practice until being that AGGRESSIVE is just as natural as breathing (but playing smart).

Quick info about me before I go join a game and record it:
I'm 21, male, from Canada. I'm in college studying Psychology, aim on getting a Masters in the future. I am quite intuitive when it comes to reading people, so applying that to online-poker is a definite challenge as it is less "real" than playing in person. I definately dont have a large bankroll, but I just want to step my playing up so that I have a consistently REASONABLE chance of winning some low $$$ games.

Again, i'll be updating this blog a few times a week with new videos, and as people are helping me, i'll definitely be keeping that info posted here.

You can get in touch with me on this blog, or you can just email me @: exiledstar@hotmail.com

I'm going to try and narrate each video as best as I can, giving explanations as to why I played the hand the way I did, and what im thinking as i'm playing the hand (for you guys to help understand, since i'm sure i'll forget! haha). I'll see about editing some of the boring-scenes out once I have made a few videos, to help make them a little less... BORING?

Hope to get a little buzz going and get some help :) I do think I have potential, I just need some guidance from the vets/pros that can tackle low $$$ games no problem!

Thanks alot! And wish me luck! (Watch me not even make it to the bubble once I start up a game in 30mins...!)

My name under youtube is exiledStarPoker , i'll be uploading all videos in pieces there. (and i'll post them in the blog aswel when I get the next one made.)
