It's been months since my last post. You may or may not have noticed but I deleted all the previous entries on a whim. This post will be to re-introduce myself as a player, and this blog will be tracking my process in my newest challenge. As for a bit about me, I am a 23 year old male living in Canada and I attend the University of Lethbridge taking Computer science, of which I have one semester left.

I've been playing poker for quite some time, and I discovered DC about a year ago now. I've been an on and off subscriber and never really anything near a profitable player. I joined the DC 50k hand challenge and while I was winning at 2NL and 5NL before that... I tanked into a huge downswing right after joining so I stopped. In January I decided not to play at all for the month but just to study, and begin a new challenge February 1st.

I did just that, playing a couple of $0.10 MTTs in January (purely for fun) while avoiding any other play. I studied HUSNGs and anything I felt was related, watching videos such as Two Men Enter, Dogis Heads Up, Pr1nnyraiding, Mathematics of NLHE. I also reviewed a ton of hand histories of mine, and on the 2p2 forums. The first of the month rolled around and I started playing with a goal of 300 games and a 10%+ ROI this month. I've had a bad cold since the weekend, so my volume has slowed to a half since then. Below are my results so far.

Right now I should be at 150 games if I am going to reach my volume goal for the month. I need to average 15 games per day on the days that I am able to play, as I won't be able to play while in Cuba later this month. On the upside my ROI is right around where I'd like it to be and if I do hit my ROI and volume goals this month I'll feel confident moving up to the $11.50 HUSNGS.

 Thats it for now, but I'll be keeping this blog full of updates as well as other things relating to my grind.
