Hey Sven,
I am playing poker for 6 years, but mostly for fun. Never took it seriously until now. I have started with freerolls on PS. Won few tickets, then cashed for $0.56 and made my first $100 playing limit poker and $0.25 45-SnGs. Few years ago tried to grind Pokerschool premier league, but it consumed a lot of time and I quit that thing.
My main experience are tourneys SNG, MTT and HU. Cash game is completely new field to me so a lot of space to exercise and improve 
Today NL2 Zoom fishing pool was full of fish, sadly only few of them went to my trophy bucket 
Played too aggressively, made bad calls, my mind was not fully focused on the game. I am not sure about tomorrow, probably won't have time to play, so hopefully I will relax a little bit for future sessions 
Cheers!

Day 3
Total disaster, all pocket aces, kings lost to random cards. Variance was rough on me. A lot of straights and flushes lost to higher flush/straight. Started to do a lot of mistakes, was hesitating almost about every decision....
Taking a brake for now.
Hands: 1656
BR: 94.68
Okay, here is my last session this week.
I need to improve my cash game a lot. Almost busted my entire bankroll, but in the end managed to stabilize situation 
First dropped down to $50~ then after one day break, analysed my game and improved some spots thus reduced aggression and some bad calls. The analysis of the game gave some fruits:
Hands: 3175
BR: $85.55
I am completely new to cash games, but on Saturday played Saturday duel tourney and cashed $50, I won't include this into my challenge
I hope next week will be positive 
Summary of the first week (not as good as expected):
Hands played: 7811
Current BR: $85.55
Starting BR: $100
I have returned!
After donking around at SnG's and NL2/NL5 Zoom 6-max and dropping down to $60 BR I have decided that it is not going well and I need some adjustments. This week I have watched nice video how to crush fish on NL2 Zoom FR did some analysis and here are results:
I have started this format with $60 BR
-NL2 zoom FR
Hands: 5183
BR: $89.74
Still down for $10.26
Will stick to NL2 Zoom FR for now. Fingers crossed I will beat this limit some day...
Still learning, even though I didn't make profit yet I am happy with my current results
Expecting to break $100 mark in week 3
Week 2 summary:
NL2 Zoom FR
Hands: 12673
BR: $84.38
