Lately I have been playing a fair amount of live poker and had some reasonable good results, but saturday I really messed it up by going to the casino after two bottles of Möet and ended up blowing 600€ which I really worked hard on winning in the first place.
Why do a start this challenge then, motivation? No, everybody say that they start blogs/challenges for motivation, but the truth is I just like to post my silly thought somewhere while I track my progress moving forward on my goal on becoming a professional poker player, traveling the world, getting experiences for a lifetime and being able to do what I really want to do. Hopefully this will also help me be more disciplined about not tilting, playing drunk, etc.
I thought the funniest concept to this challenge/blog would to start a bit under rolled (I already mentioned that I'm a degen) I therefore want to start with a 646€ BR (the amount I'm up since I started tracking my results) and play 1/2€ cash game as well as 50€ MTT's, which usually is very small and soft fields at the casino.
I will go into stuff about buy-in amount, stop loss and what I might have to do to keep my stop loss in future posts when it become relevant.
The reason why I have decided to make this a challenge and not a blog is that I have a goal about making €7,500 by September 9. which is the day my contract as a Xerox service agent ends and the day I hopefully will be able to start playing poker for a living.
What to expect from this thread then? I'm 21 years old so although I will spend the majority of my time in the weekends at the casino I will also go out a fair bit and pop bottle, so beside poker results I might post some pics which I something I personally like to read about so hopefully people will follow.

). That hand sums up the week at Sporting Emporium pretty well, but what can you do? Play better and play it out, I feel like most regs are pretty splashy and when the run good is coming I can take them for a good amount!
