Hello,
My name is Zac. I have been playing poker on and off for roughly 10 years now. Not sure what exactly my goal is at this movement, just wanted to start a thread to keep me motivated and get me up and going. I have been a winning player in every format from dbl or nothings to 200NL Zone. I am going into my last year for my Finance degree.I will develop this thread further as I get a better grip on how many hours I can play a week and which games I will play during these hours.For now here are the facts I know.
Starting BR: $400
Games to start 10 DN's
Stream on twitch while I play with corresponding name.
Thanks for taking a look, should get a few hours in the next few days, then start up a regular schedule next Tuesday.

Day one was mostly a day of knocking off the rust. Played 4 hours of continuous running of $10 DONS. Fully loaded at Bovada is only 4 tables unfortunately. Have not linked a twitch account yet, will hopefully set that up on W for my Thursday grind.
Starting BR: $400
Ending BR: $435.81
So +$35.81 so far and a hourly rate of $8.91... So just a bit under minimum wage so far. lol
Have to pick that up. Be back on Thursday with an update.

Had roughly an hour of free time, so instead of firing up a DON set decided to 2 table 25NL Zone (a great player pool). Was a really nice seesh. Big hand came here.
Villain (Btn) Raises to .75
Hero (SB) 1010 RR to $2.25
Villain in BB and Btn both call.
Flop: 10s 7s 6s
I check, BB checks Sb bets $3, I RR to $7 BB snap shoves $19 SB calls, I call knowing I'm probably behind and need the board to pair.
BB showes Q6ss SB K3ss
6 comes on the river = EZ game
Starting Bankroll = $435.81
Ending Bankroll = $492.87
+$57.06 in an hour, I'll take it. Also lost min with 2nd nut flush early into the session. Made a big design fold with AK off pre to a 4bet shove, so overall happy with my play.
More to come Thursday. Thanks for the sub WastedRu76

Real nice four hour $10 DON session with continues 4 table loading. Played well, avoided sticky spots when I had mid stacks (2K-2500) or so. Also flopped really well. Will most likely get a session around the same length tomorrow, of the same games.
+$97.42 ; which equates to $24.35 an hour. Think these games are worth my time if I can make $17+ per hour. Thanks for taking a look.
Starting BR: $492.87
Ending BR = $590.29

im a $50 don reg on bovada, im just going to tell you now that $17+ an hour isnt possible at $10 dons. trust me ive played over 3k $10 dons. what you should focus on is building your roll, improving and moving up as soon as possible. GL!
also $300 downswings are possible at $10 dons even with an 8% roi. So keep that in mind.

Sorry for the lack of updates on this thread. Things started to pick up a bunch in school, with finals coming up. I have managed to play a few hour long 25NL Zone sessions, since last post.
Starting BR = $590.29
Ending BR = $652.15
So + $61.86 not bad with just playing just random spots here and there. 25NL Zone is def really beatable, just have to pick good spots. Not sure the plan the next week and a half. After school is over for the semester will have more time. Thanks for looking.
