</div><div style="text-align: justify;">How ridiculous its becoming to be, as always, to do this first post but lets go :). </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I decided to do it in english because.. I'm quite more confortable in English to talk about things than in Portuguese even though i may do some posts in Portuguese as well. Whatever, come on.. it's my blog, right?! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First of all, introductions: im Andre Chee, I'm Portuguese, I'm finishing a Master's Degree in Instituto Superior Técnico, as an Electrical and Computer Engineer specialized in Telecommunications, and I'm also a Poker player and a Model.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I created this blog to share mostly my adventures in Modelling world and my runs in the Poker World. I started out poker when I saw my good friend and colleague of college Ivanildo winning 11.000 USD on a tournment in Easter exactly 2 years ago and I said to myself that I could also do it! How hard could that be? luck, some instints, voodoo crappy humga bumga, and voilá! that's all! today I laugh really hard at that thinking, its not that its hard due to the field of players in a Tournment but u got to have some good skills.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I started out playing 1.. 2 dlrs.. with the 10 dlrs that PokerStars gave me for free. Of course I lost everything... so, i said to myself.. "ok, im not going to put any money in this shit and I'll earn what I can from this fishes online and I'll learn how to play it properly" and Ivanildo transfered me $20 and I started with a negative balance on sharkscope <span style="color: red;">-123</span>USD and "oh well.. lets start with 25 cents, 45 man, non turbo games, enough of losing money".</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I read some articles and Ivanildo (which was PlatinumStar that time and now is a Supernova Elite - Pokerstars) and after 1000 games:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOrAPdy_5Q6Rse_BlTGV2oCscG5GEv1naVJXeGjNHsbmHnoeU42ge-b6HhQvnCvj2Aw6lyjiHxu5A59BmhrQqGS_Bc_vH5NxDfseGAtbiChQ9YaEcT2n6uF2-x4GOoBupta1ioDefFRBwB/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-04-28+at+10.19.52+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="54" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOrAPdy_5Q6Rse_BlTGV2oCscG5GEv1naVJXeGjNHsbmHnoeU42ge-b6HhQvnCvj2Aw6lyjiHxu5A59BmhrQqGS_Bc_vH5NxDfseGAtbiChQ9YaEcT2n6uF2-x4GOoBupta1ioDefFRBwB/s320/Screen+shot+2011-04-28+at+10.19.52+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My last 20 games of 25 cents presented a ROI over 100% ahahah, my thinking was right and got over 100USD by playing microstakes nd that was my bankroll boost. My routine during those games was more or less.. playing 4 games at the same time, one of them I had to get 5th place to cover the expense and the rest would be profit. Almost always I got that 5th place and if i ended up the day with 25 cents more, i WOULD BE happy! its not much but, after all, its better than losing! My goal was to make $1 a day, and in the end of the year i would have $365 and i would cash out and go travel a weekend with my girlfriend somewhere.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, after my bankroll was already above $100 i started playing Turbo games, which was kinda of a disaster but now, 1 year after that time, and several cash outs due to my College Needs (unfortunately), my graph is this:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Being in the top 20 is kinda like.. what i was hopping during this year and a half that passed learning poker and watching great players online that were a reference to me like Ivanildo, Acoimbra Azntracker, etc.. mostly Sit-nd-Go's Grinders, even though Ivanildo is a very complete player. Now he plays Cash Games, but he used to play SnG, $60 with the big boys back then.. and he gets lots of ITM (in the money) in Tournments.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Basically, now I'm playing $1,75 - 18 man - Turbo, 12-16 tables, I used to have bankroll to play $6.50 and I can say that I did pretty good on those but, with those cashouts, I just dont feel confortable playing with 50buy ins maybe because I started out with . My minimum is 100 buy ins, because Ivanildo said so and he being my teacher/coach/best friend/shark i even dont question this, but when i had this big downswing, i did realize why to take care of bankroll! Actually for me, the biggest secret of poker is how well u do manage your bankroll. U can catch me in Pokerstars but I dont really have the time to grind like before (6hours a day or so..), I just grind for 2 hours/maximum a day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About Fashion, I'm with L'Agence, the biggest agency of modelling in Portugal. I'm also in this business for 2 years, more or less, and I've done the last two Fashion Weeks both in Lisboa (Moda Lisboa) and Porto (Portugal Fashion) and I can put some pictures about that.. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm also an avid "self-researcher-enthusiastic" about nutrition, gym, sports, and I do have a special routine about that.. maybe because Modelling requires it or maybe because I'm just chinese and its really hard to work out the body i want! damn genetics! but I can say that i'm avoiding dairy products (milk, yogurts, butter, everything that comes from milk) and cereals. I'm kinda trying a Paleo Diet due to one friend suggestion but I'll talk about that later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
