Hey guys. Erby from DC here. Wanted to start a blog to track my poker career as I (hopefully) move up the limits! I’m 26 living in NYC (manhattan) and post occasionally on DC and 2p2. I’m a 25nl player right now with a bankroll around $1,500 or so. I think 60 BIs is probably more than I need at this limit, but I want to log $2,000 of profit at 25nl before moving up. I hopefully will hit that by May or June. I’m in school right now, so I am getting in a solid 35K+ hands or so a month. I’ve got a platinum star on Stars, but can’t decide if I like stars or ftp better. Players on ftp seem much less nitty, which I like.

Today I didn’t actually think I was going to get any play in, since we had to talk with wedding photographers and buy new rock climbing shoes. We went to EMS in SOHO which had a pitiful selection. I was able to find a pair that I liked, but they had absolutely no women’s shoes so Karen (my fiancee) was out of luck. We then trekked down to Tents and Trails in Tribeca and their selection was much better. Karen got a pair of lime green shoes (they’re hideous, but she thinks they’re comfortable which is not something you hear all that often when talking about climbing shoes).

When we got home, Karen took a nap and I managed to log 780 hands on FTP (+$34.58, 8.77BB/100). Had a great session, players seemed really terrible today. Was up over $80 but ran AKo into JJ in an all-in preflop coin toss and lost (He limped UTG, I made it $1.50, He made it $4 and I shoved). It was a terrible shove on my part. I should have called and played post flop against this guy. It ended up a coin flip, but I could have easily been crushed. I guess if guys here are limp raising and calling shoves with JJ then this play is even worse. Anyway, other than that I was pretty happy with my play overall. It’s just that one hand that’s pissing me off…

March:
$146.72
10,565 hands
2.78 BB/100
