Hello guys, the first forum i joined back in 2002, I used that intro except it said holmes and not masterholmes as masterholmes is my poker name, and my holmes is my tarot name :).

 

well guys I been playing since about 2005 when in there i dont’ know, it was probaly summer as my first deposit on full tilt says january 2006.

well guys I am no winning player eheheh, In fact all I got in my account right now is less then 40 bucks :).

 

to be truthful despite reading hoh,12,3 kill everyone, kill phil, and some other tourney books It wasnt’ my game, i spent years playing six max omaha, hold them, but mostly omaha,, but as i went down in stakes in omaha 10 , 5  2, (before the 10 dollar on ftp was the lowest it would go) the only thing was my money would last longer due to the lower stakes.

 

it wasnt’ until after gaining some hands in omaha manager that the proof was in the pudding and i had some major holes , (i am still waiting for omaha leakbuster in fact). i mean i did purchase hold them leakbuster and it was cool to see my leaks and spend a month playing hold them,, but cash wasnt’ for me.. i mean to spend hours just to get 2 bucks. and if i go on tilt to lose 5 to 7 bucks trying to bust the bastard who sucked out on me and who had the miracle run of cards,, grr.

 

but in truth I never gave myself a decent shot,, as my deposits were at first 100, (which is only 10 buys in at the 10 dollar level )  and later on 50 , 10 buys in at the 5 dollar level) so i never had the bankroll to give myself a good shot.  my freind deposited 50 bucks and turned 2 bucks into 600 bucks by coming in second place. i saw the light.

so before joining here,, I purchased winning  poker tournaments 1 and 2 and studying volume one, and i was preparing mentally to play deep stacked daily dollars, and 90 man sit and goes for 1 dollar to build up a roll.

 

I sincerly hope that is good building step for me, oh yes i belong to cardrunners, and formerly stoxpokerr but my interest then was  sit and goes, but i couldn’t take the variance as at the time sit and goes was 10 bucks at the least. so i just stayed there for the omaha . :).

and now and then would watch a differnt video.

but the extent of my mtts experience was freerolls, the daily dollar and the ferguson.

in the meantime i had an keen interest to see some videos concept developed for mtts as i read and studied and so in talking to the support here at this website, i found they were receptive to the ideas , and so i started to look more closely at it the site . (perhaps it was my vainity,,eheh).

i noticed they put out more videos since i first looked at it scathingly and then I thought of that commercial..

it was probaly from the 90s, where they said if you want chicken do you go to a burger restuarant for it,, or do you go for a chicken restuarant.

 

so a nice affordable mtt focused site,, that was second on my wish list.. (first was omaha micro focused site ) .

and here i am, I hope i can turn my poker life around..

 

also as warning i may disappear for a month or 2, as i vowed to myself to try out poker zion, drag the bar,, and poker savey  but then who knows i might get hooked here as well. (and if my bankroll starts growing from a good place in a tourney or two,, well then i can afford to try more sites). Wink

I am back.

 

I came back for while I took a break off poker,, I been reading winning poker tournaments volume 2 and saw the 20 bbs restrealing discussion and i remember big dogs theory video on the 3bet shove and at the time i remmeber thinking he is crazy.

now that i am more educated i crave more things like that.. plus I remember big shoving in the other video as a big stack.

so i been checking out the video list now and then to see what is improved.

right now i am interested in the theory videos,, short stack boot camp, 3 bet, expert hand analysis.

i am sitting by the computer with notebook and pen this time.

i think though the system created me a new account.

 

edited to add

yup it did,, it said i am guppy and old masterholmes is guest.. i have to fix that somehow.
