Introduction

Hi
No doubt if your reading my blog your probably interested in what I do! Well I found you could make money from playing poker! I started a yr ago and now into my 2nd with 1.2k in my poker account! I play under the name Mr_C_eM and I vowed to never break the rules I had set:

1. Never buy into a tournament worth more than 0.01-0.02% of my bankroll.
2. I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
3. If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.
4. Never use my bankroll for anything else other than poker until the time is right.
5. Never never NEVER play when your tired or not tip top.
6. Manage your tournaments for the whole day.
7. Learn and be studious and use everything to your advantage.

Now this may sound stupid to some and they may think well its gambling and your going to lose it all at some point.... Great because as long as there are people that think that way, your always going to make money in the long run. One day I'll write about this in more detail at the moment I'm trying to show people where the money in poker is coming from and how you can play smart and if their not lucky take a nice share of the flux of cash.
The idea of my adapted rules is for the long-run so a consistent play is required. As I am a tight player I based my strategy on probability, position and image. I therefore hoped to achieve a solid, tight-aggressive style. However that's how I started. Now after following the rules rigidly for a year I have some breathing room. Everything in poker is a grind. Only now do I feel comfortable enough to do riskier things but not stupid ones! I still play the numbers in a solid style and they constantly bring me back a profit.
I see the same group of players over and over again on the leaderboards and the final tables worldwide. Poker to me is a game of skill and calculated risks. On the the other hand if you can afford it you can take more risks like the pros do but until then I'm going to keep building my stack bigger and bigger until I can.

That's why I love the game there is always someone willing to be the underdog but remember that this doesn't matter because in my experience the numbers never lie.

Peace and love and good luck at the tables, remember manners cost nothing in poker so use them. Respect is a useful asset.
