Hello RIO!

A brief bio: I am 23 years old and i have played poker since i was 12 years old learning it from my grandfather and have continued to play off and on. I work full time and have a family. I am married with 3 wonderful children. ( Will  post pics upon request if thats something people would like to see ). I am new to ROI only have recently found it. Ive been on 2+2 for awhile always lurking never contributing so i decided i wanted to start contributing to a community and from what ive seen ROI has the best community to be apart of. The motivation and uplifting that is done here as well as all the in depth analysis and discussion has just blown my mind and i am going to be a RIOer (lol) for life.

I am hoping to find a "poker family" you could say in that i can find a support group and good people to share my life experiences with to not only help me grow but that maybe my story and my input can help another fellow poker play grow or succeed in some way.

I currently play 6man 25nl-50nl and have had decent success. I play on Bovada so i have no software to track but i do keep a notebook i am filling with my win/loss information. Its still a rough draft but im figuring out how to keep it pretty organized and informative. 

My Poker Goals for 2014

- Have a + win/loss for the year winning at least 10k

- Keep a good BRM and dont jump levels to quickly ( Ive not got a set guide line for when to take shots if anyone has any solid guidelines to follow im all ears )

- Keep a personal poker journal recording my thoughts to help me reflect and grow

- Eliminate tilt as much as possible

My Life Goals for 2014

- Pick back up on a healthy eating regiment as well as exercise.

- Join a Martial Arts gym and train 4-5 times a week

- Learn to enjoy life a little more with my wife and kids ( less stress )

- Invest more time into friends and family and build stronger bonds with current friends as well as find new friends to build bonds with.

- Volunteer some time doing something good for the less fortunate

Thats all i have for now. I will continue to update this weekly and i hope everyone has a great 2014!

Thanks for reading and for any input i recieve in advance!
