Hey guys! long time lurker of the forums here I won't post too much of a detailed story about me just yet as i am not sure if this is something I actually wanna do! But just a quick rundown!

Got a new job working 3 12 hour days so now have 4 days a week off and not much to fill that time so before I decide to pick up a second part time job I might just see if i can make $100 or so dollars a week playing on ignition.

For this challenge I will be playing mostly 5nl zone and $1 hypers my plan is to play the $5 DoNs once i hit $100

That might very well be the plan! But would like to see if I can do this first.

Haha I suppose its kind of an ironic username now. I recently switched to working weekends and in rural Minnesota there really isnt much opprotunity to party out side of the normal weekend! And my birthday is coming up and im getting kind of stressed out about getting older so Ive actually put the fun on hold a little bit :/

Done for today!
I feel like I've been taking active steps to improve my game even at nl5 zone (lol)
I played more volume than the last two days put together probably but still not where I'd like it

BR: $93.15

Tomorrow I will probably release my first $22 tournament ticket so maybe I can just bink something there! I hope to be above the $100 mark even with out that tomorrow at which point Ill try and play some $5 DoNs as I feel the hourly at this micro level is better!

More than likely done with today!

Today I was happy with my volume for the first time! Could have done a bit more with other life stuff but I'll find the balance eventually. Had the BR to around $120 at one point started losing a but and just figured itd be a good time to stop for the day. I released my first $22 ticket I planned on saving it for the series that igniton is running later this month but I looked thru the schedule and none of the $22 tourneys work with my work schedule, so I will probably be using that Monday next week going to look at the tournaments and figure out the best value for me!

BR $108.30

Unfortunately I must return to work for the weekend the last 3 days of my 1 week "test" I will be working 6am-630pm so hoping I can squeeze an hour or two in after work each night would be really awesome to actually hit that $150 goal as I wasnt too sure about it when I started this.
