Hello, i'm a new player that is now starting to play NLHE.

I've come across with this forum after hearing great things about it's educated crowd, so i hope to be an active and helpfull member on this community.

My poker history is still very short (about 12k hands played at holdem and a couple thousand on PLO), and now i want to start taking the game more seriously and build a good bankroll focusing on 6max NLHE cash games.

Right now i have about 160$ on my PS account and i'm currently playing 5NL both Zoom and regular tables, 2/3 tables when playing Zoom and 4 tables when playing the regular ones.

My poker education so far is short, i've read only Tommy Angelo's book The elements of Poker and David Sklansky's book The Theory of Poker (from wich i've learned a lot). I've also read a few articles and watched a series on DC.

I will use this Journal to post my objectives as well as some graphs and stats trough out my progression.

Objective:

Move up to 50NL by the end of February 2015;

Ways to get there:

Play at least 30k hands a month on average (i'm a college student so i can't put lots of volume the most part of the year, altough i can put up tons of volume on school breaks);

Always review my sessions;

Post/comment at least 5 hands a day on the forum;

Watch videos and/or read books as much as possible;

Find specific areas (leaks) on my game that need improvement and focus on each one individually;

Now i will post the graph and stats from my first 12k hands (i know it is a small sample size), hopping that you can help me improve my game by finding some leaks on my stats.

I'm obviously also open to any sugestion about study material that you can recommend.

I will try to update this Journal every 10k hands.

Thanks in advance for your help.
