Starting here and moving forward

The WSOP ME is over. I watched it live up until the dinner break. Great insight and guest commentaries. I hope they release the entire final table on dvd this year.

Anyway, I have a small bankroll to work with now. It is only $48, but its something. I am also still waiting on a rakeback payment that should come in this week. I wont be getting any rakeback payments next month though b/c I havent played any cash games this month.

I have been playing ultimatepoint stt's on UB. I have been doing pretty well too, although the cash value is minimal.

I have decided not to play the turbo STT's with my limited bankroll. To much variance and a quick escalation to push or fold unless you are the CL. I am going to play $5.5 STT's. I currently have just under 9 buyins. I need to hit the ground running and play to cash if I am going to make it.

I dont like the play to cash mentality, really I like to push every edge I get, but when building a bankroll its more important to cash than push edges. My edge right now needs to be able to dodge -EV situations.

So I am going to start chronicling all my play. I will be playing on poker stars exclusively. Mainly b/c I like the changes they have made to their software recently, and there is plenty of soft competition.
