:f_thumbsup:Hello Everyone!!!
My name is ae_ntax, i am 32 years old and I study BT.I like to play and watch football very much, i also spend much time with my guitar(I am not a great player,but i enjoy playing).
Some info about my Poker career
I play poker the last 3 years.I am a micro limit player and i played NL Holdem until November!!! I have played almost all the formats of NL(Cash,SNG,MTT),but i was a losing normal losing player :f_biggrin:,until last year!!!!
Last year i started playing only MTTs, with a nice Bankroll Management and i started winning some money -not very much,but enough to make me fall in love with the game again :f_love:!- but because of my studies(lack of time) i couldn't play MTTs any more ![]()
I stop playing poker for a while,cause i didn't really enjoy cash NL or Sngs.
Before one Month i start playing PLO and I started enjoying Playing Poker again!!!
So I deside to play PLO.
I found an ebook "PLO from the Scratch" and I start reading it, I found it really great so here I am now!!!
Some info for my Blog
First of all,I would like to tell you that this is the 1st time i write a blog and also english is not my native language,so excuse me for any mistakes.
I will start playing PLO with a 100$ bankroll at PLO5(40 BI) and the target is to reach a 7000$ bankroll and take a shot 200PLO.

The main bankroll management module will be: start with 40 BI at a limit reach 50 BI + 10BI from the next limit and then take a 10BI shot to move up.
For more info you can read the great article "PLO from the Scratch"(I really liked it
)
My main goal is not just to reach a 7000$ bankroll, but to learn playing solid PLO.
So, in this Blog,i will write what i will study(videos,articles,books), I will post some hands, I would like to discuss strategies,of course i will post my progress.Also, I would be very happy if you could help me with your suggestions and corrections to be a better player and reach my goals
:f_thumbsup:

I will start playing 100min. sessions + 30min. session review or 30min. study(videos,articles) for each session for 5 or 6 days a week.
This will be the plan until the end of February where my exam period in the University ends and I add some volume(hours) to poker.
Also, i would like to use an 80/20 plan to my playing/reading time, like leatherass advice in his book.
Also I would like to watch "PLO training" from Skodljivec, that take place
every Thursday.I will try to refresh my blog everytime i have enough time,
at least 1 or 2 a week.
My short-term goals
My short-term goals until the end of February are:
Spoiler
1. Play 5 days per week(100min session+30min study) [-] (I did't play much,lack of time)
2.Take the shot to 10PLO (reach a 350$ bankroll 50BI in PLO5+10 BI in PLO10)[-](as a result of the above)
3.Read the "PLO from the Scratch" ebook until chapter 9(I am reading part 6 at the moment)[+](I read all the book,I started re-reading that slowly)
4.Watch as many videos as I can from "Skodljivec's School of PLO"[+](I finished the series)

Update 19/02/2014
Spoiler
I didn't played more than 5 days in February cause i didn't had any time at all,because of my exams.Finally i am done with my exams,so now i have a lot of free time to play poker!
I decided that i will make some small changes to my "plan".
First of all, I will restart my trip from 100$->7000$ and not from 200$,
that is because i had to buy the HM2 and i think that i should spend only poker money for poker "things".I also will spend a part of that money to buy a silver pokerstrategy subscription for the next months,cause my Pkstrs account in not tracked, also I live in Greece as i said and i can play only on 2-3 poker sites from Pkrstrategy.So when i make an account there i would like to take advantage of the full bonus!
I had about 250$ and i cashout the 150$.
Also rakeback/cash bonus will take place in this "tour"!As i think, I should escape from micros the quickier possible.
So here we start, again!
