Hello!
So i think its time for me to start a journal. Have been using BTP to develop my game for some time now but im going to take it to the next level, start posting hands and be more active in discussions and don't be afraid to be seen as a totally screw up

That said.
I am 22 year old and live in north sweden, at the moment I'm unemployed so i have a lot of time on my hands to try develop my game. Been playing poker on and off for about two years now and my goal with this journal is to keep track of myself so i don't go and play to high limits under rolled etc. Also hoping for some tips on how to step my up game.

One thing that i know is a problem for me is that my math skills is kind of bad so i will ask some stupid questions about things that i don't fully understand (and so is my english but i hope you all can understand).
At the moment i am playing NL100 with around 7k in the bankroll, have tried play NL200 but i cant seem to figure it out so i really need to start posting hands to see what i am doing wrong, but pretty sure i overplay some hands.

I play at partypoker atm but looking for an option with rakeback and good selection NL100, NL200 6max (any ideas?)

And if someone is sitting on a good cash out system for building a roll semi-fast I would be very glad to take part of it. So here is my rules and some goals.

Rules
-> posthands! (this is very important for me atm)
-> 30bi for the limit i play, take a shot at 25bi move down if lose 5bi
-> get off my ass and work out 2 days / week

Monthly Goals
-> 30-40k hands
-> 8 MTT's
-> make a cashout so i don't lose respect for money
-> 1day / week that i wont play poker

2008 Goals
-> get the bankroll i need for NL1000
-> visit my friends in Thailand and play from there 2-3 months

So lets hit it off and see where it lead! Dont hesitat to use the whip on me if i dont post hands!

played a 10k gtd speed tournament and got in to third place, at the final table the blinds was crazy, no one had more than 10bb so it was a race and my hands held up. last hand i went in with A3o from sb had abt 3bb left and get called by AJ in the bb and i am out.



been playing some cash games to, will post hands from that session.

wow...seriously?

good start to the journal!

so, after the tournament and some NL100 and NL200 grinding the bankroll is up at 10k.
for me to be able to play NL200 all the time is that i have to stop donk off with to weak hands and when i look in PT on hands i played and lost a buyin with i really dont know what i was thinking. no hands wort posting thougth cuz my losses are big mistakes and bad play from me. been playing 3k hands today, started off as a loser but it came around after couple of hours play.

now i just started to take care of my life outside poker, been working out one time this week and going to climbing practis on sunday so feels good to do something other than poker too.

last 7k hands ive been playing abit more optimal i think vpip 25 pfr 21 flop 4.11 turn 2.30 river 1.75 not a big sample but working in the rigth direction i guess

so time to post some hands.
