Good evening everyone who cares to read this, and thanks awfully for taking the time to read it.

So from the title you can see I have decided to take on/create a bankroll challenge for myself.

The basics of said challenge are thus;
Starting with a bankroll of $150
Playing on Party Poker
Playing $5nl 6 max fast forward.

My personal apprehensions/doubts about this challenge are reflections about myself, issues I have had etc.

Firstly impatience has always been a bit of an issue, but I feel after reading and studying for quite some time about my phsycology regarding, impatience and loosing focus at smaller stakes, I feel that the most prudent and realistic way to measure and assess whether I can actually implement what I have learnt and in turn and to actually to see if I am learning about poker is to actually document it, therefore if I stop posting it means I have failed and then at that point I stop playing poker, because it would be a fruitless and stressful endeavour if I continued playing, knowing full well that I could not handle any forms of varience and getting out drawn etc.

So in saying that, the game is afoot.

Any comments, feedback, criticisms received would be awfully kind of you.

Variance and stress will come sooner or later, no doubt. Learn from every downswing and evolve.

Check out “Can’t hurt me” by David Goggins (the audio book is good too) as it will help with mental stability through downswings

Hello PunnyYouSayThat, ty for your kind words, and the audio book recommendation, I started a small session last night, a sort of warm up practice, working on starting hands, just 1 table for the first few sessions.
Third hand in my Kings got cracked by A7 suited so lost 1 buy in, and later queen's in to 89off.
So overall 2 buyins down.
But I am glad with how I played my hand selection was good and I stuck to it.

BR START $154
After first session - $10
Current BR $144

So I am about 4 thousand hands in, I wanted to start on just one table to get to grips with starting hands etc. I have now lost 4 buyins so bankroll down to $134.
I am sticking strictly to correct starting hands and am I suppose happy to say that when I am loosing the big hands I am getting my money in when I am ahead.

One question I need to pose is this.
Do I focus on monetary results each session at $5nl? Or do I just keep practicing starting hands, post flop play, and adding more tables?.

I mean if I stick to correct play and hands, and have a large enough bankroll to cope with loses and lower levels, than overall I should make money.

Are you using any HUD if not you should purchase pt4 or hdm2, and work it up.
