Ten years no Poker, let's give it a try? Challenge time: starting from NL25 to Nl100

Hi guys, as the title suggests, I've been away for ~ 10 years from Poker. Back in the days I used to play NL50 but there is a reason why I didn't play it anymore.
Simply my freelancing activities made me more money then Poker without any swings inc.

Recently I've decided to stop working as a programmer because I'm going to study medicine and since I'm getting a stipend that means I'm not allowed to earn more then 15k Euros except ! it's Poker. That means that Poker does not count as income but simply as gambling.

So why am I doing this? I'm actually a very lazy person and I figured that if I have a blog I'd be more serious about it, the goal is to reach NL100 by the end of 2019 starting with a bankroll of 800 $.

Penalties:

If I quit this challenge, I'll ship 50 $ to 3 people randomly chosen that reply in this thread also if I continue with the challenge but don't achieve my goal I'll also ship the same amount to 3 random people.

Every time I don't post for longer than 3 weeks, I'll ship 20$ to 3 people that contribute to this thread. ( unless I've ended the challenge anyways )

Also: Feels good to be back, 2008er ftw? where is actually the bbv forum?

Interesting way to keep things running and serious!

I started mine with the same purpose. Worked very well :f_thumbsup:

Good luck on the goals, I'll be reading :f_drink:

very interesting!
which definitions of "reach" are we going to use here? winrate over x hands? bankroll target?

Thanks for all the replies in such a short amount of time !!!

@ Luischiavo could you please post your blog? I'm curious to see how you are doing.

@ k0kki3 I don't think that anything below Nl25 isn't worth playing, I don't think that anyone is learning anything at those levels.

@Pokamon, good question, I'm actually playing already for a month, I beat Nl10 by far just by intuition from the past but please don't get me wrong, I still have millions of leaks, so I'm planing to get a decent couch and also review my hands after every session, which I didn't do 10 years ago, i was satisfied with just beating the limit. Well probably we get a little bit smarter once we become older right?

Edit: I didn't feel that the game got tougher to be honest with you guys, there are still enough morons on NL25 with 50/10 stats but I do admit that there are enough regs that are actively exploiting my leaks .. but as I said it was enough to beat NL10 after 2 weeks, hopefully I can improve my game.
