I suppose I'll start with a little about myself. I'm a senior mechanical engineering student and wrestler at Colorado Schoool of Mines, and I started playing poker about a year ago. I won a freeroll for $20 and deposited ten bucks on Absolute poker so I could start getting player points and stuff and have been stuck to the game ever since. For my first 8 or 9 months I'd build up slowly to a couple hundred dollars then tilt, move up limits and start back over from twenty bucks, and after several months of this on Absolute and Full Tilt, I found out PokerStars had a restrict table limit feature and I immediately switched over there and started climbing through the limits a little quicker.
I had been primarily a limit player up until a couple months ago, but it seems like your edge gets pretty small around 5/10 limit, so I figured I'd eventually want to make the transition to no limit and this summer would be my best opportunity to do so. I'm currently playing 50nl FR and working on my game like crazy. I've been doing a lot of sweats, watching and taking notes on a ton of videos, and trying to make as many poker friends as possible to help me get where I want to be and make the ride more enjoyable. I'll lay some goals out here to gauge my progress.
1. Have Fun. When it comes down to it poker should be fun, and in the past I've struggled when it becomes too much about results and not enough about playing a game that I enjoy to the best of my ability.
2. Constantly improve and never get content with my game.
3. Be beating 100nl and be rolled for 200nl by the end of the year.
4. Achieve Supernova status by the end of the year.
The biggest reason I have fallen short of past goals is tilt control, so my biggest focus at the moment is on playing my A game all the time. Every one of these goals relies on me getting my tilt under control, and in the past 2 weeks I've gotten a lot better at quitting, so hopefully I'm at a turning point in that regard. Thanks for reading, and I hopefully future posts won't be so dry. gl at the tables!
cheers,
Chad
