2016 Zoom Goals: 10k profit, reg at NL100

Hey guys
Needing a little bit of motivation cause i m running bad and also playing bad, so decided to start a thread to keep me accounted, but i also like the idea of having it as a personal blog of mine so we ll see how it goes
A little bit about me
I come from Greece, i have been playing online cash only on Stars for 2-2.5years and never to seem to beat the game.
Tilt has always being an issue for me and i spew stacks whenever i run bad
I intend to turn things around for me in 2016 and hopefully with a lot of study and effort i ll hit the 10k mark by the end of 2016.
I work full time (rare thing in Greece) so my volume wont be as hardcore as i would like, but i hope i will keep the pace around 40k/month
Gonna try to update with results around 2 times per month
January 2016
February 2016 (till now)
Wish me luck and drop by from time to time to discuss hands if you want

So February is officialy over...and what a **** month it was...
Played a lot more than i would like too...the goal was to play about 40k hands, but tilt got over me in many sessions and ofc instead of stopping i continued to spew...
With just a small analysis of my database i found almost 450dol of spew...
Hope to change this in March and also start posting more often here
Results: 69.930hands
Profit : -66.42dol +225rakeback= 158.58dol
I ll go buy some gums with my profits now

So we re here!!!
Mid March and just wanted to share my results so far for the month!
Running above ev helps but i rate my game in the low B-minus game
About 200dol bad plays so far that i could have avoided spewing but what can you do?...Just go through the database and try not to repeat those again and again...
Also as you can see in the graph i decided to take a calculated shot of 3bis at NL50z...It didnt go well, as i played really bad and scared money...but i ll soon take another shot as long as i can keep my bankroll safe

Some hands...
Hand 1
99s ?? was really suprised to see his hand,is it a hand that regs on NL50z defend oop against a 4bet??...that ofc doesnt justify my call on the river which i think is bad at least
Hand 2
I guess that this is a fold on the turn???
Hand 3
Pretty bad choice of bet sizing by me on turn...but i chose to do that to keep hands like this in...and paid it on the river

Hey guys !!!
Was thinking about starting a new thread with new goals and so on but since i only do this whenever i run good i thought that updating this older thread of mine would be a good reminder of how bad i have being playing over the last 4-5 months and doing constantly the same mistakes!
Lost interest for updating it when running bad and going up in stakes(NL100Z) trying to recover the losses.
Ofc that never hapenned...and busted my bankroll twice
When i started this thread i was very optimistic about my abilities that i could really win at NL25zoom and clime up the ladder in zoom games which was needed if i really wanted the hit the goal of 10k in one year...
So it is time for me to see the hard facts and see what i have done since the beggining of 2016
I emailed Stars to send all the hh's of 2016 since i have deleted my database several times and here are my results of 2016
So breaking even afters almost 300k hands is not a great result but its still an improvement for me since i have always been a losing player the last couple of years.
I ll continue updating this thread, keeping track of my results, posting hands and ofc railing other threads
See ya

My bankroll is not there yet, but hopefully if the rungood continues it will soon
I ve been railing your thread and i like your work ethic.GL too and ofc see you at the tables
Im trying to find the "most standard" spots for almost 300k hands
Not that easy as you say it is man
Never had coaching help ever...
The only thing im proud of is that whatever "improvement" i ve had i did it on my own
