As the title suggests, I'm starting this journal to keep me motivated and focused to achieve my goal:

a $10k profit that will allow me to get married next year.

I want to be a reg at NL100 6-max Zoom on Stars by then, so I will focus in getting there first. My deadline is 17/09/2016, so I have a little over one year to make this happen. I little info on myself: 21 year old Computer Engineering student from SP, Brazil. I'll start with a $300 BR from NL10 and I hope to move up fast. I think I have enough knowledge to beat NL10 and NL25 (I used to "grind" NL100 FR regular tables but stoped playing for a while and drew all my BR), so I will focus on putting volume and study only when I feel its necessary. I'll post here every time after I play, which I intend to 4h/day 4 days/week, since I have a full time job that takes me 10h per day (8h work + 2 hour locomotion). Yes, I'm a student AND I work in a full time job. This is possible because I don't have classes when I'm working, pretty cool.

I'll basically post my graphs and some of my thoughts about poker during this journey. I hope I can make it! Last thing to add: thanks to brazilian High Stakes PLO pro Gabriel Goffi (known as verve.oasis on Stars), I'm really motivated to live a high stakes lifestyle. You dont have to play the highest limits to live a high stakes lifestyle. It is about putting yourself to your limits and reaching the best version of yourself. I really wanna be the best version of myself, not only in poker but in every single aspect of my life. It is really challenging to live like this, but I think it pays off. Have you ever wondered how great is the best version of yourself? Think about it. Start living a high stakes lifestyle today!

PS: if you are wondering how $10k is enough to get married, you should know that $1 = R$3,70 (Brazilian currency). Dollar is pretty damn high!
