About myself - I'm a 21 years old student living in Sweden. I played poker in the past but never took it seriously, have played about 200k hands. I was going to start a company in Sweden but the project fell apart so now without anything to do I decided that I should start playing poker again.
My poker history - I started to play for about 5 month when I was 16 and I played short-stack in micro limits with the help of pokerstrategy.com. I revisited the game when it was 18 and played SnG for 2 months also with the help of PS.com.
My goals - I love to play poker and would like to use this passion to travel the world. My personal goal is the earn a steady income of $150/h and have excellent mindset.
The challenge - I read the HansTheGreat's thread and got inspire to do a blog about my journey. I watch his webinar and decided to focus on the discipline instead of doing anything else. So instead of money I will track my hours and do a big review every 100h.
Just want to say thanks to Hans for the inspiration and if you want to read a great poker blog here on 2+2 go to link
Starting bankroll: $61.89 (my old poker account on Pokerstars)
Start at: NL2 - normal table
BR management: 25bi limit.

Thanks!
it have been a great start for me. Even if I'm down I really feel confident. I played yesterday for 4.35h and today for 1.57h. My goal is to play for 10h a day for the next three months so I found some things that I need to fix before I can do it.
Leak: Thinking - It have been a long time since I was at the poker tables so I need to think a lot when I play and not much is automated. I can only play 2 tables new, but I will move up to 3-4 tables at the end of the week. The thinking takes a lot of energy so when more action are automated and I get into habit I know I will play more.
Leak: No base - My goal is to play for the next 50 hour my "own game". I just want to get the hours and the habit of playing every day. It THE most important thing. After my 50 hours I will move to a framework like "No BS 6max" or pokerstrategy where I can find a hand chart and everything.
I know it important to get the ABC game down and the discipline. Also when I'm not playing my A-game I need something fall on. I have nothing now, so I did tilt a bit today. I get super great news that I been waiting for and I just play to many hands. luckily I meditate and practices mindfulness so I could quite after just 41 hands BUT I lost 239BB. But hey I'm still happy because it was great news hehe
Short-term goal: 6:33h/50h (13%)
10 hour day rule: 13,67h missing
subbed!
