Blog Start - History Part I - The Creation

Here it is, another bandwagon poker blog. I will start with my history. Later I will get to my current state, and what I intend to do with this blog.

I am Meek's Poker Bank Roll (PBR). I was created about three years ago. As I recall, I started with a credit card deposit into Party Poker. As many others, I believe I was inspired into creation by Moneymaker and the WSOP. Meek (my daddy/creator/owner/player/etc...) saw the advertisements and thought he'd give it a go. Meek liked playing the no limit hold'em, since he had seen this on TV, and understood the rules. He played me into the SnGs, so he'd get more go for his dough. From what I could see from the pc laptop screen, he had started reading about poker. I saw Super System with a library sticker on the back of it. His bookmark seemed to be in the hold em sections. I don't think he hit any of the other sections.

I talked to another bank roll Meek had, a play money poker bank roll. I don't think this PBR has started it's own blog yet, and has fallen dormant since I've been around. The play money PBR said Meek played a lot of no limit poker and had built him up hugely, to a million credits. This was good news. Maybe Meek could do the same with me. I soon realized that the play money PBR lived in a different world where it was easy to build a bank roll, since it was play money. Players in that world are just action junkies and want to gamble it up, as there is no penalty. In my world, it's not as easy to get back up off the felt and reload, get back in a game for which you are under bank rolled, and go all in on the next hand.

I was created with an odd deformity I didn't quite understand. I had a 'bonus' appendage about a quarter as big as I was. From what I see in the internet browser windows, it can be lucrative to have a good sized bonus appendage. People will want to take a lot of pictures of you with pretty, naked women, and then charge others to look at them. Anyway, as I am a poker bank roll, and not a porn star, this was a different kind of bonus. PartyPoker called it a deposit bonus. Apparently, it would be released to me once Meek had played so many hands at the site. I think Meek was frustrated with this as he hadn't seen the fine print and thought it would be a part of me from the beginning. For now it was just sitting there, limp and numb. It needed 'juice' from action to be made live. So we played some poker.
