I started on July 2006 after seeing poker on Euro-Sport (go figure)
My first month I played Play money and killed the SNG's.

Deposited my first $50 and lost it within a week or so playing $10NL... From then until the end of the year I manged to deposit and lose a total of $310.

In the end of 2006 I opened an account at FT with rakeback deposited my last $110 (I really didn't want to throw more money on this hobby) and start building a BR killing the $2 and the $5 SNG's.

Then in March we had to move and stayed for 3 month in an apartment where we couldn't have an internet connection. So being the junky that I was, I started going to internet bars to feed my addiction.
In that period I started playing the $10 SNGs with very poor results.
Then I discovered Omaha PLO and managed to built a $1000ish BR from that. Playing mainly $25PLO and some $50PLO. However my good run had finished, and $50PLO was way to aggressive to my liking so started playing NL Holdem again. This time $50NL.
In no time I managed to go through most of my BR, dropped down to $25NL and was looking at a $120BR.
I really didn't want to go down to $10NL...
Luckily Rakeback came in time to double my BR.

During this time I was working as a chef in a catering company as a freelance. July is the end of our season and I decided to give poker a series go.

I started reading books, visited forums even more and played lots and lots of break even poker.Mainly due to rake back managed to built a $3000ish BR.

October was my dead line, if I don't manage to make a min of $100 a day I go out and find a real job.
Then with $2700 in my BR I won FT Iron man freeroll for $2750 doubline my BR. The winners of the 4 freerolls got to play HU shootout which I won for $5K doubling my Br again. As the winners I got to play 3 FT pro for $5k a piece, with $50k if I win all 3.
I won the first vs JJ Lui. then got a free $5k when Clonie Gowen didn't show up for the game. By lost the last $40k HU in the 5th hand. All in all managed to double my BR again.
In Novmber I FTed the $26 KO on FT 4 times winning it twice.
in December I won the $26ko again as well as the $20rebuy.

Since January I decided to concentrate on cash games.
did slightly better then break even on Jan due to rake back. Lost a big amount on Feb. Broke even in cash again in March due to Rakeback but won the $26ko again.

Now I play mainly $400NL and $200NL. And am hoping for a first real month of cash games success.
