Amazing progress

Wow. That's all I can say, these past couple of days I've been playing the best poker of my life. I want to get in on a freeroll and take advantage but the style of play is just so different. Anyways I've been just playing amazing and learning from my mistakes. I'm just really excited and proud of myself. Just a month ago I was struggling to win more chips than one of my friends. Now I'm here at the start of the Weekly Challege looking pretty damn good. 

It's just a beautiful feeling seeing your progress really come in to fruition. I'm just so thankful. I'm going to keep playing and keep practicing to get even better! Follow me on twitter.com/natepaulpoker 

3 million

Finally did it! Now as you can see other people are in the millions and what not, but for me you have to celebrate the small goals. If not you'll be easily frustrated because the results aren't coming. I just made three million my goal because, last two weeks I've hit 1 million then the next week 2 million. I'm seeing my progress. Now I still take risks and don't fully understand when to bet or raise. But when I have a decent hand, I've found myself raising and seeing who does what. Those small details are so important. I can't wait to keep practicing. Building my bank rolls to crush these cash games in no time.

Short break

Just took a short break from blogging. Really been busy with practicing and just really getting a grasp on the game of poker. I'm feeling good I know where I'm messing up, just not paying enough attention to other players bets. For example I had an 88 pair after the flop so I placed a 4k bet, can't remember what the river was so I placed a 12k bet I was called. That's when I should of folded and called it a day, but I had to go all in and I got caught. First mistake is betting that much on a 88 pair. *sigh* but to be better than you were yesterday you have to learn. Overall I'm excitied to really step up my game. I've found a couple poker rooms around me, just waiting for my skill to catch up with my ambition. Follow me on twitter.com/natepaulpoker and heres my ranking in the Zynga Weekly challenge 

I wanted to hit 3 mil but I lost a all in hand being dumb and hardheaded but that's all the past! 

Life's trying to kick my ass

Pretty much what the title says. But I won't give up I can't give up. If I keep pressing on I will get to my goals. Pokers coming along great I feel like every day I'm learning new lessons. I'm consistently winning hands and playing smarter than ever. No where close to being confident enough to play in cash games though. But I'm seeing progress, I can tell I'm getting better. Just gotta keep pushing, success is right around the corner.    follow me on twitter! twitter.com/natepaulpoker 

 Here are my results for the zynga online weekly challenge two days in and I'm already at a million 

Busy day

Couldn't play as much but still got in a weak 4 hours. I'm getting better though a lot better. I'm playing poker, it's extremely hard to bluff online though. You almost have to have a strong hand if you do. Everyday I feel like I'm learning. From 11-1 I'll play and focus on my decision making and playing good hands. 

Quick update

Just put this in my bank roll just a simple 3 grand I'll turn into 10 grand 

Lesson Learned

I feel like my poker game went up ten fold by just playing with my grandfather. Once I got serious though and started making good calls and raises, I started seeing me win the pots. It was only three players and the other was a complete novice. I like once I started tightening up, but still aggressive when I needed to be. I was smart when it came to reading the cards and making sure I knew I had something. Bluffing caused me to busted out twice, but that's when I woke up and started making amazing plays and calling others bluffs. Tonight's free roll will be a big test to see what I've learned. As long as I just play smart and can trap when I need too, and steal a couple nice pots I'll be fine. I'll be posting updates via twitter twitter.com/natepaulpoker
