Toronto, On (PRWEB) March 21, 2006 -- Ever since Chris Moneymaker won over 2.5 million dollars at the 2003 WSOP (World Series of Poker) from a $39 online poker satellite, every average Joe jumped on the poker-band wagon to try to do the same; as did Ivan Correces also known as Spektacular(Spek for short) on various online poker sites.
�I deposited $50 into an online poker site and went broke within a week�I had a friend who had a healthy bankroll on one site, so I told him to transfer $10 to my account. I promised him that not only would I pay him back, I�m going to double, triple, quadrouple that ten dollars into my lifetime poker bankroll�And I�m glad to say, I haven�t gone broke yet��
Spek spent his December holidays building up his bankroll playing no limit Texas Holdem and kept a journal of short stories of victories and terrible bad beats he�s experienced over the course of time.
In five short days he turned $10 into $200. Then poker reality hit,
�The first week or so, I was on a crazy winning streak. I mean, I was on fire! After a while, the reality of gambling hit me�I started losing to horrible suck outs and bad beats. I lost about a third of my bankroll in two days. I was a bit worried I�d lose it all and start all over again��
Did it work out? Did Spek lose his bankroll after experiencing some tough losses? �I went from ten bucks to over $700 in a few weeks, and I�m steadily winning more and more,� Spek says confidently.
Spek�s been playing online Texas Holdem and winning consistently over the last few months. His favourite games are the no limit Texas Holdem $20 and $30 sit & goes (SNG�s) and small buy-in Tourney�s on PokerStars.com. You can read Spektacular�s poker progess at http://spektacular.blogspot.com.
