Welcome

Ok, so I want to start this blog to track how I'm running in tournament play. I'm currently playing on poker stars under the alias "tortuga0981" and try to keep my play limited to buy-ins between $4 and $10 with the occasional $20 or $30 tournament if I'm feeling saucy. Here are my stats so far this year...

They are so so, but could be a lot better. I had a big win in March that netted me close to $2500, so that was a good day. Since then I have been off and on with FT's here and there but nothing really to show for it. I think since that March win I've been back to 4 big FT's w/ an average place of 7th, so I think we know what I need to work on....closing the tourneys out!

I want this blog to serve as a time line for whats to come. I honestly feel like I've figured out this online poker tournament strategy, and it's just a matter of time before I hit something big and take off. Of recently I've had a bankroll of roughly 5K, but took a trip to Europe which depleted the majority of it. I'm currently sitting with around $500 in my account and want to see it rise back to that 5K within the next 3 months. I know it's possible and I know it will happen, so hopefully this blog will capture it all and become some good reading for others to latch on to.
