A brief intro
For start id like to talk about my journey to poker and through poker
It all began in late 2008 playing a few games on LAN with my Roommate and from there it escalated into me depositing 10 on stars, then playing the 1st depositor freerolls and got to about 20 dollars and from there i played the 0.1$ 45man sngs and a few 1$ tourneys and ended up busting my 20. then depositing another 20 and again losing sngs and MTTs up to a point where i had 4$ left. at that point a joined DC and grinded my 4$ to 50 in 0.01/0.02 on stars moving up to 0.02/0.05 and eventually had about 180$ playing at 0.05/0.1 and at some point things just dint go well i started getting sucked out, i tilted and before i knew my bb/100 was 1 over 7k hands at 10NL.
Some people would say at that losingspree: “hell poker was fun, i gave it my all, it wasnt for me, i take my 100 bucks out and move onâ€. Even i thought of that but obviously changed my mind.
So here i am, making this blog to set some goals for me and motivate myself to start again at 0.01/0.02 to regain my confidence and play 3hours a day 4 tables and not give a f#ck about my results. I am going to play solid poker and not look at my graph/profit until the end of the week.
Plans for sunday will be to regain my confidence at 0.02 and then just 4 table 0.05 until i have enough to move up.
Also atleast 2 uNL videos from DC every day to get fresh ideas
Peace

Good luck Leikman. I'm doing the same myself (2 and 5NL) Hope it works out for both of us.

I like how you mentioned about not looking at your graph until the end of the week.
That's a big thing, I've been obsessed with my results and with constantly checking my graph, even sometimes mid-session.
It only helps you to tilt when you realise that you're down, so that's a great idea. I'm going to try that.
All the best, I'm doing the same also on 5NL at the moment, I'll keep an eye on your progress.
