First off, I would like to introduce myself. I am Cam,Cameron, or CD whichever you prefer. I am a 21 year old from North of Chicago who attend Indiana University. Basically I have been putting off creating my own blog for quite sometime, but since finals are over and I am back home to boredomville I figured now sounds like a perfect time to write one.

Ok. So on to my poker story. Basically in h.s started to get interested into poker mostly due to seeing it on t.v. (WSOP) then playing quite often after school with a bunch of buddies for like 10 bucks. As highschool progressed the games became to soft and most of my friends threw in the towel, because they realized how much money they had lost in a long period of time. When I heard about online poker I was quite excited about the idea of playing on your computer, but at the same time very skeptical. Unfortunately by the time I had the kahonas to buy in online the PartyPoker donkfiesta era had just ended. I first dabbled on Pstars with 50 dollar buys which I would either lose right away or run up, never following close to any bankroll strategy. As time went by I realized I was not doing this the right way, mostly be losing 200 bucks in 50 dollar spews, just to reload get up to 300 cash out 200, then rinse repeat.

By 2nd semester my sophmore year at college I had finally figured out that I needed to follow bankroll strategy and saved up about 500 bucks to deposit on Absolute Poker. I am not exactly sure why Absolute came to mind, but they had nice bonuses and pretty high RB 30%. I slowly began the grind of 25nl and basically didn't go anywhere for quite a while. After reading on 2+2 ( shout out to all the BREW MEMBERS) and browsing I decided to purchase HEM which was the best idea or poker move I have ever made. I slowly started analyzing my leaks and such. After a couple months I started playing 50nl and so on. Blah blah blah, there where huge swings and up/ down and around. After like 2 month I was wondering wtf was I doing wrong. I kept blaming everyone, but myself and crap like that. Finally I realized what really was hurting me was non-showdown winnings. I started tweaking my game and as of today I am about 30k hands into nl100, playing what I believe to be as the best online poker of my life. With that said I still have substantial amounts to learn and change. I am considering getting a video membership at either Leggo or one of their competitors(keep it on the dl) .

Poker is really my big love other than Hockey (Go Blackhawks- Fuck Detriot), and also going to concerts which I am really excited for this summer cause I already have a ticket to DMB at Alpine and hold your judging Phish for their reunion tour. I will also probably going to Lolla. It all matters on what kind of hours I will be forced to work( lame) at Kraft for a potential internship cause I have to pump up the resume and also my parents frown on poker being my income(newbs). Since I am living in their house and under their rules I must oblige and do as they say. I really wish I just had an apartment down in the city where a bunch of my friends and older sister live, but hopefully after I receive my degree I will be moving into Wrigleyville !!!!!
To sign off I wish everyone a great rest of the month and look forward to progressing my game.

HERE COME THE HAWKS < THE MIGHTY BLACKHAWKS!!!
