Hey 2p2'ers
I'm 19 years old (dreams of greatness like mr.blissey) I've been going back and forth with NL Hold'em for the last year (Monkey play of course), but I want to take it seriously so I think this is a way to start, my bankroll rightnow is 3,50$ in pokerstars and 11,63$ in GG, very poor right, If i go bust I'll top up to a hundred and move up from there, I will post every 10k hands, maybe some hands for some insight 2. The Challenge is to play 30k hands on a 5bb/100 win rate in 31 days starting on june 10th but If I make it in 45 to 60 days I will be happy to. I have some tilt issues and obviously some skill issues so from today to june 10th I am working hard on getting as much knowledge as I can from the course 'From the Ground Up' so my game is just not too stupid and get as much as I can from 'The Mental Game of Poker', of course ill try to improve my game and tilt while the challenge is running.

I want to do this, but maybe this is just some other thread that will be lost in the tides of the internet, maybe I'll post a few times then disappear, don't worry I'm not dead , i'll probably be back in 2 months, wish me the best, God Bless you all fellow grinders.
Yours sincerely Red+White Warrior.

How's the course?

I really like it, very straight forward and easy to understand but I still nedd to study it to get everything straight

1st session, tried some 4tabling and felt confy but i miss some action sometime but im working out on that, i played for 1 hour 382 hands.


Some hands i will like some insight on because I played them awfully or because I think they where okay or i have some doubts
