Taking Stock

It's now two months since I started playing poker online for real money at PKR, so it's a good time to take a step back and see how things are going.

Initially I only played tournaments and sit 'n' gos. I've since expanded my play to ring games. I still prefer tourneys, it's just that I rarely have enough time to invest. There's no point starting a tournament hoping to get knocked out before your playing window closes! Initially my ring game play was awful and I'd usually lose my buy-in, but I've improved considerably.

The bottom line of course is my bankroll. How has this fared? Well it's currently about 10% higher than when I started. That's not enough for me to class as an ace but definitely better than a deuce! I'm pleasantly surprised that I've had two months of play for free, even a small profit is an unexpected bonus. And given that I'm still very much a newbie it makes me think there's hope for me yet.

So it's onwards and - hopefully - upwards.
