hey everyone! i am new to the forum and decided to start a blog so that i can track my results,get motivation to play better,more and -most important- try to get better by any recommendations,advice and every kind of help.
let's start with a brief introduction:
about me
My name is Tasos, i am 21 right now and study greek literature Thessaloniki,Greece. i m on 4th and last year and although i have only half of my classes passed i hope i get over it some time in future! regarding my leisure time i like hanging out when possible but when not everything is about poker(sometimes movies or sport matches too ♦)..
poker history
i started playing about 3-4 years ago when graduated from high school. it was a friend of mine who heard about it first,then showed it to the rest of the "team" and we all started playing just for fun. for some strange reason i found it really interesting as well as challenging so thought about it more seriously as a game that i could win money from without even having learned the basics lol ♦
then one day i decided to deposit into pokerstars for the very 1st time - on summer of 2009..ok i was playing and having fun but of course didn't take that seriously at all until i got a great result-regarding my experience and skill-. i got 4th at a sunday major(now known as sunday storm) for a sum of 9K$ in total. this would be great if won nowadays as i now know about bankroll management and all this stuff but then, it was just a firework that made my student life far better. i spent the majority of it on fun stuff such as vacations,bike purchase etc.
so now all these are gone. all this time i ve been playing of course but inconsistently and mainly for the pleasure,although i took some shots to majors but nothing special came. i ve watched many coaching videos all this time and also read some interesting articles so i finally consider myself a bit xperienced(after playing many hands at several poker sites too) but still have a lot to learn so please help me wherever possible!
my goals-short and long term-
1) my longest term goal would be to become a poker professional, earning a stable amount of money so that i wouldn't need to work elsewhere at all.but this-considering my achievements so far- is not even close 
2) i ll try to read every book and watch coaching videos suggested by you my friends related with mtts and sngs as i m not going to deal with cash right now.
3) i didn't mention that before so i ll do it right now. i will be mostly playing turbo multi table sngs and (less)mtts.depending on my bankroll swings i will change gears to higher/lower buy ins.the most important short term goal is to beat the lower levels so that i can move up to the higher and get stable profit and more (vip and other)bonuses as well.
So, starting with 340 euros(all i have as a br in stars right now) and playing a mix of the 90man 1$,180man hyper 1$, 45man 1.5$, 180man 2.5$ and 45man 3.5$. i m a multitabler so there will be 15-25 total on every active session. depending on the results i will mix the numbers of each one in sessions.
regarding mtts i have a low limit of 50 buy ins for entering in any of them.
i will be playing by the name royalduck4 for anyone who would like to follow.
i am using holdem manager 2 as well as tableninja(so please don't write at tour's chat i can't see that ♦)
4) last goal is to renew the blog as often as possible.i hope my studies and fun time plans won't affect this one but i am very optimistic about it.
i had a lot more in my mind but i can't write any more at just my 1st post.it's already too big to be good anyway thanx for reading that and i hope you will follow me on my attempt to become a pro ♦ please don't hesitate to ask whatever you want, make your own observations or whatever. i'll be glad to get feedback by older members skilled and xperienced or not! it would be an extra motive for me to keep this post alive 
ps if anyone could tell me how to post graphs, hands etc that i would appreciate that a lot so that i could post anything interesting over the time.
