Longtime reader first time poster.😂


I have been playing poker for 2 years "recreationally" for lack of a better word ,with no official Bank roll,winning or losing tracking, or any kind of logging.THAT STOPS TODAY.i am making this thread to mostly go ahead and start tracking everything,but I won't be able to help myself from throwing in a few stories here and there.I would be lying if I said I haven't been inspired by threads from Mike Wolfe,true story teller,butterfly symmetry (could be off on name there),the legendary warmdeck and many others.

DISCLAIMER-ENGLISH MY SECOND LANGUAGE PLEASE GO EASY ON MY GRAMMAR

A little about myself ...i own and operate an energy solutions company here in Florida we focus mainly on solar photovoltaic but I also do a lot of radiant barrier insulation solar water heaters and pretty much any other thing you can glue or screw to your home to make it more efficient.i do well for myself in this field relative to the time it actually takes but I also have a lot of other business ventures that do well for me.two kids, one wife ,no girlfriend lol.(in case she's reading)I have been surfing since I was 9 and spornsored since 12 (RVCA)Im into cars mainly the VIP scene which is 4 door japense rwd mostly v8 cars and also anything with a lsx or 2jz engine (I'll be posting those pics as well).i hate saying the term american Muscle but almost anything late model gm ford or dodge I can talk about for days as well.needles to say I'm subscribed to 1320video as well as Matt Farrah's smoking tire.so feel free to drop anything related to cars in this thread aswell.....enough about that let's get onto the thread and this challenge.

Like I said I had never kept track of winnings ,buy ins ,losses,time played or any of that,but within the last 8 months I'd say poker has become a little bigger part of my life,my company is starting to run itself more and more so ive had more time to study the game and really try to apply myself .Studying, watching every video Alec Torrelli puts out and reading just about every hand history I can get my eyes on (which will be huge in this thread)so it lead me to say screw it I spend so much time on this website I might as well go ahead an register and start a thread to keep track of everything. Onto the challenge


-I will be starting with a 1-2 bankroll of 3,500 ,buying in for 200 which will give me 17 or so buy ins.(which i think is plenty for me)and I will play until I run it up or lose it all ,as 3500 will not make or brake me
-I will not play sessions longer than 5 hours unless the game is ridiculously juicy.
-I will track as many hand histories as possible to post and hopefully get some good feedback from you guys.
-I will be playing a tournament here and there but everyone of those buyins will come out of my pocket and not out of this bankroll.mostly 50-300 buyin tournaments.if I hit a big score I will start a separate thread with separate tournament bankroll.

GOALS
-control myself and work on my Tilt problem and my discipline.
-log at least 20 hours of live poker per week which is roughly 4 normal sessions for me.
-post at least 5 HH PER session no matter how big or small the hand is
-learn to trust my instinct more on the table


Here we go first session is coming up this afternoon Sunday 2/5/17 (holy **** can't believe it's 2017)
