Greetings,

I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm starting an operation thread anyway. I'll start posting elsewhere again too. Basically I have been playing poker for at least five years while doing everything wrong. I have meandered between complete failure and minute success. I have probably sat with my entire bankroll for as many hands as I have sat with good bankroll management.

I think it is finally time that I need to either take this shit seriously, or stop trying to play. I am 21 now so hopefully I am mature enough to practice self control, and not let the emotional side of poker cause me to make stupid decisions.

I will be starting with a roll of $625.00 for 25 NL and I will run 4 tables at a time, for now. If I fall below 500 I will drop to .5/.10 until I grind back to $625.00 to take another shot.

I will be using Holdem Manager to analyze my game. I have essentially never done extensive analysis of my own game or taken it all that seriously, which I suspect has led me to lose a lot of money.

My goals are simple:
1. Never violate BRM
2. Do not make decisions based on emotion
3. Analyze decision making
4. Play poker
5. Beat every stakes lvl i can

I guess I'll try and make this vaguely interesting for people to read if I can think of a way. But mostly I need to post this to hold myself acountable =).
