The Beginning

Don't know who is ever gonna read this but I started this blog to start holding myself accountable for bankroll decisions and my poker playing. I'll do my best to update the blog on almost a daily manner.

A little about me. My name is Tripp Kirk. I'm 23 and live in Atlanta, Ga. I work for an IT Consulting firm in Atlanta but play at lest 2-3 hours of poker per day as time allows. I've been playing for about 4 years now but I would say that I have only REALLY been playing for around 2-3. In the past I used to play for fun just to have something to do and used VERY poor bankroll management techniques. I won a good bit and would eventually lose my roll and not play for a few months and then play again and make some money but eventually just go broke again.

I love poker and the ultimate goal is to sustain a solid ROI for a year to a year and a half and have the bankroll to quit my job and play full time. As I have a solid job, I wouldn't do this until I actually feel like my current job is costing me money. I know I'm a long way off from this but have committed to put a lot of time and effort into not only playing a lot but trying to learn as much as possible and find and fix the many leaks in my game.
