Hi guys. I'm called Max, 24 years old from London. I left university about a year and a half ago, after studying Management and Accounting and I now work for a big government regulator. The job takes up a lot of my time (06:30 - 18:00 weekdays) but I love it. It does however mean I don't have a huge amount of time for poker, whether that be playing, learning or hand reviewing.

I had a hard time at university due to having Bipolar Type II as well as ADD, but I still managed to get a decent grade. I wish I could say it had taught me that hard work pays off, but unfortunately I just didn't work that hard, I have never been able to find the motivation.


I first played poker at university and it became a bit of a habit for me to play for hours on end. However I never studied or reviewed hands, instead thinking I could learn from experience. I am a slightly losing player with bad habits and poor bankroll management. This is going to change.


Before I write these I want to point out I only have 7-15 hours a week for poker. So they are not going to be ambitious compared to the majority of threads on here. My current bankroll on PS is $61.50.

Aims:

1. Use newly purchased PT4 to keep track of winnings, losings and hands I need to review
2. Play over 7 hours of poker a week
3. Play only cash games I am rolled for (2NL currently), only moving up when I have 20BI for the next level, and dropping down when I reach 15BI
4. After each session review at least 3 questionable hands

I will add to this list as people advise/inspiration hits me.

Wish me luck on the tables and lets see how the first session goes!
