So, quick summary of my poker story. Friend transferred me 11$ in Pokerstars. I, like a retard, play a 5$ sng, get lucky and get 3rd/27 and my bankroll is at 35$, I play more sngs and lose until im back down to around 23$ and I transfer my friends 11$ back and decide this isn't going to work. I read some books, discover this site, watch some poker on GSN and I'm ready to start again.

I build my bankroll to 95$ then up a stake and build it to 150$ in 1 day. At this point I feel so invulnerable I think I'll be making good money soon, but alas my upswing ends and a huge downswing begins. Before I know it I'm back down to 120$ and I feel I need to create a thread and tell you folks about a couple hands and how I played them and determine if I'm playing to the best of my ability.

I also decide to set a goal, which I'm not even sure is reachable. I was hoping to reach 100NL by the end of summer, so in my senior year of high school I can be making a decent wage playing. For me, summer begins May 24 at which point I can play a TON of hands. Summer ends in mid August I think. This goal isn't too hard is it? 120$-2000$ bankroll over the coarse of 3 months playing a ton of hands. I'll post an update and a few HH's every other day. Hopefully my downswing will end soon!
