100 Days Challenge For Myself

I have been waiting to start a challenge. I guess this is right time.

I learnt how to play the game 4 years ago. But i started to take it serious about one year ago. I read books, read a lot micro stakes hands on 2+2, watched videos and stuff. I’m a winner at 4€ NL – 6max. (50000 hands sample size). I’m at the break-even at 10€ NL- 6max (15000 hands sample size) I did a lot of things wrong didn’t follow the rules about bankroll management. Cashed out when i needed money. Played more tables than i can to just take a small amount of bonus (Bonus was about 50 euros, but i lost 170€ while playing 5x10NL) But last 2 months i stopped doing all these mistakes. Hope i’m not gonna make them again.
About bankroll, i cashout only about 550 euros. (Total deposit i put bets10 was 100€).

My plan is continuing to play NL -6 max cash at pokerstars. I had some debt so i will put only 180$ to stars.
I’m working. So currently, i study and spend time on forum reading micro-stake topics and hands about 1 hour a day. In week days i play about 3 hours, on weekend about 6-7 hours. On the average, we can say 4 hours a day. I’m dedicated about the game and i will never stop playing it. I kept my expectations low, this is my first challenge so i don’t want to get disappointed.

Here the Goals:

Daily Goals
>Reading hand histories, comments or COTWs 1 hour a day.

>Playing at least 3 hours a day.

>Concrete BRM

>Playing 2 x10NL if BR>=200$

>Playing 4x 5NL if BR <= 200$

Goal For 100 Day After

When 6th of May comes:

>Playing at lease 100K hands totally.

> Having a winrate min 10bb/100 Hands for 10NL (over a decent sample)

>Having a winrate min 15bb/100 Hands 5NL (over a decent sample)

> I’ll read Harrington on Online Cash Games and Sklansky’s NL Hold’em Theory And Practice AGAİN.

> Starting to giving a shot at 25NL.

> I guess if i do the things right i’ll have a BR >1000$

I’m gonna update this topic and my blog daily.
And I’ll start a topic “Poker Goals & Challenges” on two plus two..

After 1.7k hands. Unfortunately I'm not running so good. I'm down 4 buy-in (5Nl) Too many variables, effects this results. Of course, this is not the result i deserved, I lost too many coin flips. But thats not the only reason. I'm putting here the hands that i played very very bad.

Villian was vp:14/pfr:11/3bet:0 over 47 hands.
