In the beginning...

Welcome to the very first post of my new blog. I have kept a blog else where on the interweb for over five years and in that time I've posted 2500 times and received nearly 60,000 comments. However I did such a good job of boring the readers with tales of poker woe and sometimes delight, I thought I'd best kick off a second blog here - afterall, I think we all know the world needs yet another poker blog.

Is there such a thing as a micro stakes specialist? Or are we simply labeled as players with no bankroll? Either way, I play about as low as you can go online. I can typically be found on the €3 and €5 5-seater tables, tearing the place up. I've been doing well on these and am slowly clawing my ROI back up to zero. I mainly used my account when i started out and the stats for it were horrendous. That's my story anyhow, and I'm sticking to it.

I also play in a pub poker league. Monthly finals are held for the top players from each of the participating cities. I have played in nine of these finals and from around 80 starters I have made the top 16 on seven occasions and one of these resulted in a win and another in a second.

I play tournaments in casinos as well although I am on a dry spell at the moment as far as cashing goes. I'm due a big win soon. I tend not to do so well in crap shoot games. My record in games with decent blind structures is pretty reasonable though.

I'll post to this blog some hand histories from online games and will discuss some live hands I've played. I'm not expecting anybody to read this, but who knows - I read enough dull blogs so there must be an audience for this somewhere.
