Here is a background of me.

I am 19 years old and attend the University of West Georgia. I am studying business management. I have been playing poker for 3 years but this last year i have been really getting serious about it. My main focus is NoLimit Holdem. I have read 5 poker books so far and i need to read more. Going to the bookstore hopefully soon to pick up a few more.

Anyways here is the plan for my poker grind.

I will start out at .10/.25 NL cash game 6max 4 tableing. with a $600 Bankroll. I will continue to move up based on my bankroll, allowing me to have the correct amount of buyins per limit.

Have $1000 for 20 buyins @.25/.50 before moving up.
Have $2500 for 25 buyins @ .50/1 before moving up.
Have $6000 for 30 buyins @ 1/2 AND be able to crush .50/1 before moving up.
Have $16000for40 buyins @ 2/4 AND be able to crush 1/2 before moving up.
Have 50 buyins for the rest...and be able to crush before moving up.

Btw - just so you don't get confused - Shamdonk is not a balla. Not anymore.

Man.....At the first BTP meet up I'll be the one at the kiddie table handing out face cranks and high thai kicks.

Well its been a long thanksgiving break. I had a great time since i went back home and saw the rest of my freinds that came back from other colleges. we partied it up and had lots of fun. but of course during the day i was working on my papers. still havent gotten them done so its gonna take the time out of poker this week also. but its ok im sure ill be able to get a few sessions here and there. so anyways here is how my first session went.

I was 3 tableing .10/.25 and I started off losing 2 buy ins within the first 30 min... but i stuck in there and ended up catching up. i finished up $54.45 for the session after 3 hours. ill post a few hands that happend. all comments are welcomed. i am really trying to improve my game so negative feedback is ok. thanks guys.
