Hi all,
I've been playing poker for about 8 years, but I have never really had any goals or plan. I guess you could call me a recreational player.
Couple of years ago I played PLO quite seriously for a while - up to PLO400 but ended up busting my roll when I refused to move down after a bad run and made some stupid sports bet because I was tilted.
Right now I have a lot of free time to dedicate to playing poker and for the first time I want to actually try to set some goals and seriously track my results.
I will be starting from 25nl, because I need to prove to myself that first of all I can beat micros and most importantly, that I have enough stamina and will to actually play good rather than just focus on money.
My past experiences have shown me that I am not very good in 6 max, so I am only going to focus on 9 max from now on.
Poker is not my income source so all my winnings will go towards building a bigger bankroll.
I will be playing from Monday - Saturday and completely taking off Sunday.
( May switch sunday and saturday if I decide to take some tourny shots)
My main goals for the year are to:
Play 100 hours/month 6-12 tabling
Only focusing on playing well and meeting my hourly goal - Not chasing a particualr money goal.
Reach Supernova and move up to 100NL

So first update.
Things are going just fine and soon I will be taking my first 50nl shots.
I started out by just depositing $100 and after some small tourny scores My bankroll was around $400 before I decided to try and grind it up in cash games.
Right now my roll is almost 1k and I will take my first 50nl shots when I hit 1.2k
Overall I feel like 25nl is quite easy and I hope 50nl will be similar.
Graph so far:
So far im right on pace to hit my goal and play 100 hours / month.
I also have another longer term goal which is to coach somebody once I am certainly beating at least 50NL with a good winrate.
It is mainly just for fun, because I feel like it is something I would enjoy to do.
I have no previous coaching experience so If things go well I will be coaching somebody for free in a couple of months
GL all.

Alright, I'v been too lazy to update and had some other stuff besides poker going on last month, but overall things are going along about fine.
So far this month i have player close to 30k hands and I'v been running about as bad as possible, so many terrible river cards,bad run outs and set over sets but oh well. At least I am not giving up. overall I am running about at 5bb/100 which is fine but I think I should be able to do 7bb on these micro stakes.
My goal is to play at least 100k hands this month which should be easy considering im playing zoom right now.
Also shout out to Day n' Night who has a a PGC thread here too - Def motivates me to grind harder too.
