Hi, I've been playing poker for some time and never took it seriously. There were times when I tried it, but I failed many times, but never give it up completely and I will never will. My poker carrer peak was NL50 zoom, but mainly I was playing NL10-25. Now I decided to take poker into the next level. From now on every week I will have goals , which I must complete and I will report my progress in this blog weekly, post graphs, some hands, maybe some thoughts.

Currently I have bankroll to play on NL10. I'm still not sure if I want to play zoom or normal tables. I will play one week zoom and other week normal tables and then I will decide.

Goals for first week:
1. Play 17k hands
2. Review every session
3. Watch and study 4 videos
4. Read 3 chapters of 'The art of poker for intermediate players'
5. Workout 3x
6. Cardio 3x
7. Eat healthy
8. Take shots to NL16

GL!

P.S. Sorry for my English, I might made some mistakes.

Update:

Sad but I had to skip first week, because of technical problems, my pc started to freeze every minute, so I had to fixed it. The consequences were huge, all programs from my pc were deleted... So had to install HEM again, of course my database was deleted, but now it's like a fresh start, so from today I'm starting this challenge, the goals are the same. I've never mentioned my longterm poker goal, first I want to become winning player at NL100, second... there is no second until I complete the first one.

I didn't skip first week completely, I managed to play like 5-6k hands on NL10/NL16 and won 62$.

Bankroll: 240+62=302$

GL!

First week results:

I could say that I didn't play bad, but not very good as well, there was one session when I was tilting a lot and spewed some stacks. but apart from that my mindset was pretty good.



Running breakeven so far, but I hope to turn it all around next week.

From now on I will focus more on quality than on volume. As said first week I played zoom like 95% of the time, this week I will play regular tables(mainly 5 tables) and after that I will finally choose one between zoom or regular tables.

I didn't complete many of my goals from the first week, but I really tried, I'm happy that I watched and studied 4 videos, reviewed every session, I really feel like this week was productive and I'm into right direction, but I hope that next one will be even better.

Biggest pot won:

UTG and SB are fishes.
