This is my 3th topic here on 2+2, but this time it seems like my last call for a change in my life.

About myself:
I'm a 21 year old student from the Netherlands, Amsterdam, studying Economics at the University of Amsterdam. I've had my own company for like 5 years beside school, sold the company to get my own appartment and focus myself on school.

Well, the last nine months (the first nine months on my own) were a disaster for myself. Only succeed to pass one exam of my school (out of 7), lost my job at a marketing company, started smoking and drinking a lot (joining a students corps), using drugs at parties (going to a lot aswell), ain't sporting that much anymore and losing a lot of friends due to uncertainty about myself and not wanting to go to anything in the world, like college or training. With poker I've been depositing around €400,- the last 2-3 months, which is bad also.

What do I have right now?
- for school I'm attending one school subject at the moment. Having 2 more in June (need to pass 1 to get my first-year diploma) and having 3 re-exams in July.
- for my student corps (which is a rowing one) I've 5/6 regatta's in the coming months, need to train for that. Also I'm in a commission, so need to stay active for that also.
- I've my first day at my new job on Wednesday, need to do well in the first 10 days to keep the job.
- on poker I've like $837.

What are my goals until the last re-exam in July? Well it's not too late, but..
- pass all the subjects that I've to still have a good feeling about the year.
- workout 4-5 days (2-3x in a boat, rest in the gym) a week and keep my eating schedule on track.
- keep my work.
- stay active on the commission I have, so I won't be kicked out.
- don't deposit anymore and reach a bankroll of $1500, so the summer would be nice.
- quit smoking, using drugs and drinking like 1/10th of the glasses right now.

How about poker?
Currently having $837 and grinding on the 6-max tables. My bankroll management is going to be the following:
$0 - $300 2NL 6-10 tables
$300 - $800 5NL 6-10 tables
$800 - $1100 5/10NL mixed 6-10 tables
$1100 - $1700 10NL 6-10 tables
$1700 - $2250 10/25NL mixed 6-10 tables
$2250+ 6-10 tables 25NL

When I reach $1100 I'll be depositing $225 to buy the following items:
- Mental Game of Poker
- Second book of BlackRain79
- Get a 6month subscription to DeucesCracked.

Thanks for reading, I'll be updating this on Wednesday and Sunday until July. After that I'll be evaluating and setting new targets.

Sunday Update

Hello, hello. Small update for now, as I've started the thread today.

Played a small session tonight (10-tabling 5/10NL mixed). Here's the graph:



Overall I've played my B-game. Little bit tilting sometimes, so the graph should be higher than this, but we're getting there. VPP total at the moment: 348 for the month.

I'll update next Wednesday back again!

Update:

From tomorrow on I'm going to post here 2-3x per week to keep myself motivated.
Three important months popping up right now, goals:
- graduate 6 exams
- sport 5x per week
- keep my job, starting on a new job this saturday
- get poker from $400 (withdrawn $400) to $1500 to grind 25NL this summer

Tomorrow I'm going to the gym & the Dutch Cup Final (PEC Zwolle - FC Groningen) to support PEC to the win. After that I will be playing around 1.5K hands on 5NL (6-8 tabling).

Thanks for reading!
