I'm only 17 from England and have played on very few sites due to the trouble of accounts/depositing. My current game is 5/10 NL but I am sharing an account and it is very very hard to get the money in and out. I find it hard to get the hands in on the account too because the owner likes to play alot of freerolls/nanostake cash (MASSIVE BEAT). Plus he wants some of profits when I already paid him to use the account.
Ive posted a few stats for my 5/10 in the past and commented on different hands etc but so far not got a decent sample of size of near 100k which I want to validate my winrate.
I have been playing on and off for around 21 months, I went through a phase where I would deposit into sites using my own bank, play for a couple of weeks before being asked for proof of ID, then withdraw.
As you cant BR me for anything more than 2/4 I would really like to try out a shortstack experiment type thing. I played shortstacked before for a tiny sample at NL200. Using strict bankroll management and great table selection I ran a little bad but showed good profit. I would like to be able to do this with your help to build a roll for the bigger games. I think a BR of $1500 will be fine to cope with swings shortstacking NL200.
Here are the stats from the very short stint shortstacking, I understand you can't take much from it but its better than nothing.
Finally I am still young and really keen to improve my game. I dont have alot of guidance in poker at the moment and have been learning from the Internet, books, practice and self analysis. I would really like the benefit of having others in the game to talk to etc.
