Introduction
I'm one of the old guys here (age wise) on FTR and I finally decided to do the OP thing. I've been playing online since July 2008. I play home games too about once a month but those are for socializing and drinking beer.

Did the normal thing: Put $25 on PS and lost it in limit micros. Rinse, Repeat about 6 times. Tried playing $1.20 SNGs and lost there too. Then did some Googling and found a video by Bjaust and have been here since.

After I found FTR and started playing SNGs and built the roll up a little with much help on the SNG forum by posting HHs. Started multi tabling SNGs but still got bored. Added a 5NL cash game to ease the boredom. Realized I was losing money in the SNGs so went exclusively to cash games (5NL) and started using the free trial of PT and then HEM until the trials ran out.

Grinded up to about $220 and took a shot at 10NL where I failed miserably and dropped back down at about $150. Posted stats and founded out I sucked much more than I thought. The words "tard" and "idiot" were used many times in the analyses. I was playing weaktight.

Got reamed out by many FTR'ers and started playing TAGG and the mullah started rolling in. After $300 I moved back up to 10NL and proceeded to run at 20 bb/100. I was up $275 in February alone over about 14k hands. Sometime in there I bought HEM.

At $650 I took a shot at 25NL and lost miserably dropping back down to $470 before getting money scared.

Which brings us to this blog. My goal is to return my BR to $650 and then decide if I want to move back up to 25NL. This is dependent on how confident I feel.
