Hi all,

About Me
Im 20 years old and at university in the UK. I started playing poker july 2009 online, and withing a week i had already cashed in two tourneys for a combined total of $1600. In hindsight this could have been the perfect start to my poker career and with the right bankroll management, could have been the catalyst for much success. Rather than being responsible i withdrew around 1k and spewed the rest in various formats, much to my disappointment.

I know feel i have the pateince and commitment to give poker another serious go. I had started a thread on here before, but i let variance deter me and lost my BR. To avoid embarassment i just let the thread go into the abyss.

Where I Start
Now im back and this time i'm starting with a BR of $136.39, therefore i will be playing 0.2/0.5 and my aim by then end of 2014 is to be playing 25-50NL which in many of your eyes is very possible. But without previously doing any study, and learning mainly as i play, this goal will be a true feat. Obviously my main reason for posting this is to get advice while i try to accomplish this challenge. As it stands i dont have any HUD software so this is something i will look to invest in ASAP then ill be able to review hands and discuss certain spots with you guys.

Goals
My goals will be based on the amount of hands played, but without any software keeping track of these will be hard. I will update goals within the next week, but for now im hoping to just play a lot and introduce myself to you guys

Thanks for reading, and GL

Bankroll: $208.00

I played a $7 HU Hyper and went on heat and strung together 6 or 7 wins in a row. I feel i have a good understanding of stack sizes and shoving ranges. By no means do i feel im an expert, but it is a format i feel comfortable in.

Will update again soon.

What about 5nl and br management?
