If anyone has ever read doyle's blog he posts a quote every time he updates called a doyleism of the day, so I have decided to try and copy that idea and I am going to post some of my favourite quotes when I post.

"It's hard work. Gambling. Playing poker. Don't let anyone tell you different. Think about what it's like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take your money, and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside. That probably sounds harsh. But that's the way it is at the poker table. If you don't believe me, then you're the lamb that's going off to the slaughter." Stu Ungar

Now onto the blog, I have messed around with poker for a few years and started a couple of blogs but never really had the motivation to keep going, hopefully this is going to change with the writing of this blog. I am starting on full tilt poker with a $100 bankroll and Small Stakes Holdem Manager, I am going to be playing $2NL 9Max as my bread and butter although I my play the odd tournament or SnG to break up the grind. I brought HEM last night and sorted out the hud so I am good to go.

I am not in any rush to gain a huge bankroll or instantly become a poker genius or anything like that, I understand that it is going to take a hell of a lot of work for even a small reward in this game but I am determined to work hard.

My eventual aim is to be playing $10NL 9Max by September as I will hopefully be starting university and I wish to be able to grind while at uni and be able to take some money off if I need to. Thats it really I am going to be keeping track on things here so hopefully should get quite a few updates.
