Starting Out

Wow! Finally starting to take my potential poker career seriously. It's time to find out whether or not I have the minerals to survive. My overall goal for starting this blog is to monitor my own progress and allow others to help me along the way. I would like to end each poker day (atleast at first, maybe every week later on) with a quick 10min update.

Each post will include financial details to include net profit for the day and ending bankroll. Number of hands played, how long I played for, the time of day, future goals, how I'm progressing on those goals, and finally my intelectual ramblings will also be included.

First off, I need some detailed long-term goals.
1. By 2008, 12k - 15k in my bank roll.
2. Control over my "poker emotions" - Have fun at the table!
3. Never stop learning and reading. Avoid that "comfort zone" where I blame my consistent losses/breaking even on bad beats.
4. Create/Monitor monthly goals ($ & time).
5. Devote myself to this. Strive to be the best & give it my all. All that positive affirmation bull$hit.

Starting Bankroll: $300.00

Let the Games Begin.........
