new to blogging

Hiya my name is Chris 23 year old and full time chef/part time poker player. new to blogging so i am sorry if i don't get this yet this is my first blog. So first what to tell you about me first yes my full time job is a chef and i have been for 6 years now getting boring lol!! so looking to change my career in the near future.

So bit off my poker history i have been playing poker for about nearly 4years i first played the game when i was about 17 just with a few mates at home didn't really think much off it back then i just saw it as a fun game. Then when i was 19 working in a pub we got a new manager and he had been playing the game a while and knew alot about it and i used to hear these great stories about how he won loads of money and lost and bit as well lol! and then that was when i discovered the love for the game and spent a lot off time and money learning by going to casino's, pub games, home games and talking to friends and reading books and magazines.

Then i discoverd what has to now be my best form of poker and its where i thinking i will probably play most of my poker from now on its called ONLINE!!. I still to this day remember going out and getting my laptop so i could play online then putting my first ever deposit on pokerstars which was £10 and playing micro stakes and loosing that first deposit in the mean time i was studying then game very hard and wining the odd pub games. then i decided to deposit $22 which was about £15-20 i think and i played £1 double or nothing sit and go's with the odd micro stakes cash games but not very often and with i the space off about 2 months of long grinding and hardly any sleep i had managed to build my roll up to $250 and from then on the future of poker really began!! i could tell you alot more but i would be here all night lol!

Now from then very end of 2011 until just about nearly a month ago has been a very good end of the year and start of the new year it wasn't like a really huge amount it had won that i could give up my day job but it defo beat my ever largest win and now the cash has now come in handy for other things. he is a picture off what now is my all time profit on pokerstars.


yes $8,872!!!
Will write new blog soon!! in the mean follow me on twitter @boothy123uk
