hey all,

my first post at 2 + 2

I'm a 31 year old rec player looking to improve my game and move through the limits.

I have been playing for around 6 years and have recently moved from MTTs and MTTSNG to play cash.

In my time I have had a few decent scores my best being a top 3 finish in the big $5.50 and top 30 finish in the Sunday Million.

My plan now is to improve my cash game which is a total different kettle of fish - excuse s**t pun.

I am starting with 2nl Zoom and will move up with a 25 - 30 buyin rule.
I have started with a deposit of $100 and here is my giraffe thus far. only 2 small sessions but as I am off work for a few weeks I intend to set some volume goals.



Expect plenty of thread savers and giraffes and a few interesting hands from my sessions.

Week one goals:
[ ] 50,000 hands
[ ] maintain at least a 5bb/100 win rate
[ ] move up to 5nl
[ ] study hand histories after a session
[ ] learn more about the zoom format

I would expect to move up to 5NL at somepoint today at least thats my aim.

Gl at the felts all

Good luck.

First session out of the way and as expected I have now moved up to 5NL.

I realised half way into my session that I was very close to clearing a $50 milestone credit so decided to play 4 x 2NL and 2 x 5Nl in order to clear the bonus quicker.

So just as I hit the $125 mark in my bankroll I also cleared a cheeky $50 bonus so great session to start out.

I have cashed out $12 for me to buy a little treat for moving up (probably a pack of smokes). Which leaves me with a bankroll of $163 which should be plenty for 5NL.

My plan is to now grind up to $250 and take a 5 buyin shot at 10NL.

here is my graph so far, not the prettiest but heading in the right direction:



here are my stats for the stakes played:



and here is my positional stats:



Any thoughts on my positional stats would be much appreciated. I am new to using a HUD and analysing statistics of my play so please feel free to shout up and let me know what you think.

I will be posting some hands after tomorrows sessions. Unfortunately I wont be playing any more today as I have other commitments with the missus but will be aiming to pushout around 10 -12k hands tomorrow.
