Happy Anniversary
liquid's YTD: $2698.18
One year ago today, I played real-money online poker for the first time, taking second in a $5+$1 NL Hold'em Sit & Go on PokerRoom. It was downhill from there for a while. I started with a $100 deposit, played a bunch of low-stakes NL HE tourneys and tables, and nearly flushed my puny bankroll away within about six weeks. Yes, I suck at Texas Hold'em.
Then in November, I discovered Omaha. I managed to grind out some winnings at the $0.25-$0.50 limit Omaha tables on PokerRoom, getting $150 into the black by the end of the year.
In February 2005 I started dabbling at the pot-limit Omaha tables. For a few weeks, if I lost a big pot or did something stupid, I'd punish myself by going back to the limit tables until I'd recouped my losses. Cruel but very effective.
By March I was at the PLO tables to stay, and it's been an interesting ride since then. Lowlights include a two and a half month stretch of going nowhere. More recently things are looking up.
So after a rocky start, my $100 deposit has grown to $2954.24 at the one year mark. I can live with that.
