Remember, in poker, for every winner, there are a number of losers. Do not let your ego get damaged every time you lose a game, otherwise it will get irrevocably shattered. You need to realize that you will likely lose more than you will win.

Hi, my name is Ingrid and I’m a 26-year old girl that likes to play cards. I started off playing Seven Card Stud but quickly moved to the much easier to beat game of No Limit Texas Hold’em when I heard friends talk of the donkaments that went on in their games.

Now, for two years, I’ve been a semi-professional poker player, building my bankroll, and making a lot more money on the interweb than I am in my dayjob.

My goal: becoming a pro once I hit a consistent average of $20,000 profit every 3 months.

My blog will basicly be me talking poker, and it’s basicly here for myself and my poker friends.

Hope you enjoy!
