Back After a Long Hiatus
As you can tell from my registration date, I have known about online poker since the days of Moneymaker. I always liked poker, but didn't start playing for real money until the "Poker Boom". The first go 'round back in 2005-2006 I probably lost about 1k due poor bankroll management and shitty play.
I caddied back in '08, and during that time, there was always a card game in the caddy area. The game was dealer's choice $1-$3 mixed limit. I lost a couple hundred bucks before quitting because I didn't have the bankroll to keep up with the loose play.
In 2010, I got a $50 bankroll for Full Tilt. I focused on trying to grind the micros and see if I could turn nothing into a living. I had myself up about $50, then the whole Full Tilt scandal hit, and my account was closed and I didn't have enough points to withdraw what money I had made.
In November of last year a big thing happened in my state. New Jersey legalized online gambling. My first thoughts were to get online and start playing, but I waited. Last week, I had enough waiting and deposited $150 on WSOP. The goal is to have poker be a sustainable hobby through bankroll management, and eventually moving up stakes. This is all I will put into poker. The way I see it, if I lose 75BI two dollars at a time, I should never play poker again.
I need some book recommendations. I have read many poker books in the past, but I'm not sure which one I should buy this time. I was thinking Super System just because of it's girth. I assume I will need a book on poker math, but while being decent with numbers, I'm not mathematician. So my first question in return is: What book(s) should I invest in?
It's good to be back. I will lurk until I do my 10k hand report. See you soon.
