Hello all.

First a bit about me -
There are 3 things I need in my life
Health - which I get through a good diet and working out
Love - which I get through my girlfriend and my friends and parents
Wealth - which I get through my parents (I am lucky enough to be living wealthily)

I used to come here a while ago but I quit poker for a LOOONG time. Maybe around 5 months ago? Anyway, I quit for a variety of reasons (school, health, and poker really frustrating me...). I quit and took all my money back (700$, around 500 euros).

Anyways, recently poker has been looking more appealing to me as I have now sorted out all my real life problems out.

My longterm goal is to keep playing poker and have fun with it for as long as I live pretty much. If things go well, then hopefully I'll be able to actually win some money out of this game too!

I have decided that I'm going to start at rock bottom... Well not rock bottom... I was previously playing 25 NL. Now I'll start at 10NL and just try and get back into the flow of things.

I'll have a very aggressive bankroll strategy for the meantime in order to try and get to my goal which is to reach 50NL, this is it.
Deposit 100$ and play 10NL - done
move up to 25NL at 375$
move down to 5NL at 80$

basically tomorrow is going to decide whether I stay at 10 NL or move down to 5 NL. If I do move down I won't try to get back up until I have 150$ in my BR.

Once I have 375$, I'll move up to 25NL and then at 1000$ move up to 50NL. For now that is my main goal, to quickly get that 1000$ in my bankroll and be able to grind at more than 25NL.

I'm assuming this goal will take anywhere between 1-3 months.

Anyways, I've set up a schedule for alloting my poker time so as to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
- 3 hours of play/day max during the weekdays (including holiday season) (from 7 PM to 10 PM everyday are the only times I will play on weekdays)
- during the weekends I can play as much as I want
- Visit forums as often as I want

Things I will do on this blog
- Post my thoughts on some of my more interesting hands, these hands do not necessarily need to be played by me but they could just be interesting POINT.
- Post my random thoughts on poker and life, especially if they are somehow interconnected... which surprisingly enough happens quite a lot...
- Post my epiphanies on poker theory and strategy.
- Post my bankroll occasionally
