Revenge time! Let's do it!
Ok. Where to start..? My history on this forum was this : http://www.runitonce.com/nlhe/a-little-help-2/. And a couple of posts before. But my popularity comes from this.
About my poker life. I play poker for a long time. I played live for a couple of months, not as a pro but as an entertaining activity. I managed to win about 1000$ in 2 months playing some small tournaments and cash at little place, it wasn't even a casino. I played online some time with almost no results, a 4th place at a tournament resulting 500$, another 500$ winning 2 SNGs in the winter promotion on PS.Then I managed to make 2000$ from cash Nl2-Nl50 in about 3 months but managed to lose it all in 3 days. Yep. 3 days. 3 months of work in 3 days. My mistake was that i was overconfident. Got drunk at a party and when i arrived home, instead of going to sleep and wait till the next day, i decided to play...Nl50 and l lost about 600$. and spewed the rest in the next days being titled all the time.
As i said in that link posted above. I am not giving up and i am more motivated than ever and the big comeback is coming. I will do anything and everything for it. I want it so bad. I am going to do it. So i had a few starcoins left and bought 10 0.25$ Spin and Go tickets. Made 3$ out of them. Now i am going to play 0.10$ 360 people SNGs. 30 entries.
My goal now, short term is to make that 2000$ in 2 months. I am going to play those SNGs untill i make a bankroll for NL5 I think. About 125$ is what i need. Maybe i will play SNGs untill 250$ for NL10. I am not sure now. I am going to post here my evolution and some hands where i am not sure what i am doing. I guess there are a lot of those given that i lost that much money in such short period of time. So i want a new begining. Hope no one was offended by that post. My main language is not english so i will say sorry in advance for mistakes.
Let's do it.

First day it's probably over. Played 7 SNGs but got in the money on just one of them. The good news is that I took the second place on that one. So...
Old bankroll : 2.7$
Profit: 4.16$
New bankroll: 6.86$

GOGO NIGGAH, SO U CAN BE MY NIGGA!
Things didn't go my way in the last couple of weeks. Lost money and time which is definately not good. So we are at day 6 now. I decided to deposit 70$ to continue my challenge. The goal is the same. 200$ in 1 month and 25 days so on 29th of September we need 2000 in our account. I am not to strict about it. If it's 1500$ it's fine, it's a good result. So from now on i am gonna play only cash. Nl2 till 125$, Nl5 till 250$, NL10 till 650$ and Nl20 till 1500$. Maybe i will take some shots at at least 20 buy-ins of that limit but don't know. Don't want not following bankroll management to put me down again. About the last days. I played some Sngs but couldn't really find the motivation with only a few bucks in my account. 8 hours of play with a profit of 1-2$ was too much for me. But now i need motivation so some good words from you might help :) Anyway, that's it for the moment and will come back with day 7 and so on results. Will post graphics and hands and hope will get good feedback.
Hi. Can absolutely relate to your situation. Have gone broke lately as well, then tried to keep playing around with left over starcoins but could not really focus on playing because I felt that even if I played my best poker I could only win like $5max at NL2. What helped me to get back on track was to move from a focus on results to a focus on my game. I often had similar goals like you now (x amount by the end of the month...then x amount by then etc.), but was never able to reach them because I was barely a break-even player at the time so it was basically impossible to turn into a winning player over night (or by just writing down an amount that I want to win by the end of the month). what helped me was to find joy in playing each and every hand to the best of my knowledge, rather than thinking about long-term monetary objectives - and with this I have somewhat slowly but steadily started to build a bankroll (although I am on a downswing currently). Might also help to no longer look at your results in $ but BB because you do not "notice" what stakes you are playing at an can focus more on your game.
GL mate. looking forward to your next post.
Thank you. Best of luck. Will follow you too.

Session 2 of the day is after the black line. And where the red line decided to go down is when i decided (for whatever reason) to 8 table zoom(at my peak then 8table zoom then down). Things went great till then. At least we showed a profit from this session too,
Day 8
Moved to NL5 at 100$. I know it is not as I said, but it is ok given that there are a lot of bad players. Played a long, long session where i've me an old friend, tilt. I definatelly should make some new friends, those old ones are a pain somewhere...
Old bankroll :103$
Profit: -6$
Rakeback: 20$
New bankroll: 116$

Haven't posted for a couple of days because i took a break. 4 days with familly at mountains. Very good for me and came back to the games very motivated. Played a couple of Sng of 1$ 180 man regular and 2.50$ 180 man turbo. Made 150$ from them. Then decided to put some bets on football matches. Yesterday won 330$ and the day before about 60$. So my bankroll looks good now even if didn't make this money from cash. So i am not entirely satisfied with that, but can't be mad if i made a few bucks from something else.
Day 21 & 22 first session.
Run pretty well at Nl 16 and now have the bankroll to play Nl25. I AM GETTING THERE. Is such a nice feeling that i managed to do a little comeback and i am very confident that i will have that 2000$ i mocked at the end of those 60 days.
