From 1.2K to 10K by December 2014 playing live 1/2 NLH.. Let's Grind! From 1.2K to 10K by December 2014 playing live 1/2 NLH.. Let's Grind!

Hey guys , I've been a lurker on the forums for a few years now and I've decided to make my own little challenge since I see all the successful threads going on here. I want this thread to be my motivation (can't afford to be lazy) and would also like feedback from you guys the two plus two community. My goal is realistic for me and I will be playing 4 times a week. My sessions will vary in hours, if the game is dead i will leave if its good i will stay longer.. vice versa. I will also try to post 1 hand from each session I have that I feel was relevant to the night to keep me thinking about hands after I've left the casino. I will also play the "one buy in rule" since I have only 6 buy ins ($200). If I loose my buy in , I leave and come back the next day.


Now I understand that I am under rolled here for 1/2 NL however I am willing to take a shot. I have been playing live cash for two years now off and on, nothing to serious just for fun. Overall, I am a winner in the two years i have been playing. I realize there is money to be made at these tables.. I hope that this thread will push me and motivate me to grind like I said earlier. Only recently I am building confidence at the live tables since I am primarily an online player. I have been playing online since around 2010 but have not had success since this year. I play primarily mtt's on 888 poker and will post my graphs below on both accounts that I have used.

My total winnings exceed $9000 and my total profit is +$6200


These stats go back from January 2014 however I have only recently started grinding MTT's since May. I understand that cash and tournaments are two different games of course however I do consider myself a cash game player over MTT's. I enjoy live cash games much more then sitting in front of a computer for multiple hours a day. I would also like to thank you guys (2+2) for making me a better player than I was two years ago. I have improved my game and the way I think overall about the game of No Limit Hold Em'. I now play a solid preflop range and avoid getting myself into marginal spots that I find many 1/2 NL live cash players seem to get themselves into.


***Goals***
- Play 30 - 40 hours a week , 4 times a week. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, once on the weekend.
- Start working out.. start off slow 2 times a week then work out more once my body can handle it as I am a skinny mf lol.
- Start eating healthy.. I know everyone says this but hey I should maybe consider it and slow down on the cheeseburgers and pizza's.
- Switch my sleeping habits.. I would like to get to bed around 4am instead of 7 or 8 am which is currently what I have been doing.
- Grind enough monies to visit a special someone overseas


Anyways.. this is all for now, I'll keep you guys posted after I have my first live session which will be in a few days!

Thank you for taking your time to read this ,

Lets ship it!
