Hey everyone,

First blog ever: Thought I would start off with some weekly,monthly and yearly targets I would like to reach. I wanted to start blogging so I can hold myself accountable for completing the goals I set out. I am an SNG player looking to climb the stakes in the 18mans and maybe mix in some bigger fields as the year goes on.

Yearly Goal: An experiment for me to evolve from a casual player to a part-time player while balancing University,work and kickboxing.

Monthly Target:

1. 500 games (4-tabling): This may change depending on how my schooling goes. It could turn into 1000-1500, but we will see.
2. 20hrs of studying HH's
3. 20hrs of studying and developing my skills (vids and books)"perhaps a vid series a month"

Weekly Target:

1. 100 games (4-tabling) again this depends on how much time I can give.
2. 1hr of HH studying with or without a friend
3. 1hr of studying and developing my skills "perhaps a video a day"

I refuse to use a bankroll goal because this can become very tilting when just focusing on an ROI% or how much money I am making. Yes I want to make money in this little journey of mine, but I would rather be more focused on what things are going through my head while playing and making +ev decisions.

I will be obtaining some coaching from Greg (zerosum79) who is part of Team Moshmon. I look forward to being able to work with him and to see if I should invest in a coach to help develop my game.

I hope to really turn around my poker game and achieve most of these goals I have set out for myself and become a solid SNG/MTT player as time goes on.

A little about me: I am 23 years of age and located in Canada. I am currently going to my local University to obtain a social work degree. My hobbies are Muay Thai kickboxing, baseball, football and poker. I have been playing poker since I was 11-12 years old, but haev only been taking it kind of serious for about 2 1/2 years. I have no other further news other then I am a loosing/breakeven player and looking to get my games in to obtain a real sample.
