Hello all cashed out pretty much all my roll and lost a lot of it on games i had no experience in so i decided to pretty much move away from poker and continue with my life but I left $5 in it to try and grind on so the starting roll is $6.20 and my plan is to play 5000+ hands a week on stars starting on 2nl and hoping to move up to as high as I can.
I am an Irish student living in dublin on the second year of my degree on a sports scolarship (golf).
I started playing poker when I was 14 no one in my family played poker so one day we were in the bookshop and I saw A poker book with a title of something along the lines of How to win at poker or something like that so I decided to get it and I was instantly engulfed in this book I just swallowed up all the information and wanted to learn I had being playing chess all my life and learning everything about chess so it wasent to difficult to learn something new as I had been learning chess strategy for around the last 6 years. Since no one played poker in my family i went straight to the internet where i started to play on a poker site which i am not going to say here today but anyway I started to play all the freerolls and and I built up rolls pretty high but then busted them over and over. My parents were ok with me playing poker as long as I never nagged them for a deposit. I did this for 4 years up till last year when I deposited and ran it up to around 5k to pay for some of the cost of college. And then that just about brings up to this point in my life.
So the goal is to run up my super tiny br up to 2k using proper br management.
$70<=2nl
$130<=5nl
$400<=10nl
1100<=25nl
$2000<=50nl

Will update my progress every session and post some hands which hopefully you guys could have a look at for me and give me some advice
