Been in and out of Poker for a number of years.

Recently, I have been trying to kill of all debt before undertaking another bite at the apple.

Have some professional goals as I move into a new field of work.

Income and finances are shaping up nicely, and I plan to rely on gig work for funding my poker bankroll.

Gonna take a few stabs at some local $1/$2 games and small stakes tournies.

Goal is to reach $10,000 by end of 2024 playing once or twice a week....

125 weeks

Ultimate goal is a bankroll of $25K and graduate into our PLO games.

Went in for a small amount tonight.

Dropped $140

Got up to $200

Dealt 96... flop A76 checked around. Turned a 9 and shoved into Ax. He caught a third Ace on the river

Recouped with a set back up to $200

Missed my flush draw and bluffed off third of my stack with nothing trying to rep a straight... Villain had two pair A8

Got JsJc raised small amount. Called a post flop bet with two clubs on board. Another club checked to me and villain called my bet of $50. River is another club. He puts me all in with $50 and I call... shows Kc high flush.

Need to be more patient, less aggressive, and realize the obvious... with these guys I should know when I am beat.

River seems unkind but they had outs.

Gonna mandate 5 hours a week minimum of study before/instead of showing up and just gambling.

2nd Session closed up $300 in about 4 hours of play.
3rd Session played solid in a mixed NLH/PLO game

Shoulda cashed out, but stuck around and overplayed two pair, going all in, into a nitty opponent... demolished two worthy sessions... -$400
