I smoke to much. The fan was cluttered. The cooling was off. I've cleaned the thing and have reinstalled Windows8 and Windows10. Lost my latest HM-stats. I hadn't activated the cloud sync.

Rhythm of the challenge is to hard for him. I've managed to talk him out of this piece and learned him three simple childrensongs. These songs build up to the rhythm of the Pirates of the Caribbean music.
Good luck Wim! I have a very similar target as what you are having, but I am doing the Tankroll challenge.
Which stakes do you plan on starting from? And how would you like to move up? Also, which poker site are you using?
I hope we can both reach $1000 ( but I hope to get there first 
)
Thanks Mike,
Hope you reach your target too.
I play NL2 and NL4 on an I-Poker skin on four tables. I use W34sel's HUD in HM2. I added winrate/100h and 3Bet vs Hero.
After reading and applying Harrison on Cashgames, volume 1, I virtually lost my bankroll. My major flaw was trying to play deep stack poker with and against full or small stacks. For the first time in 7 years I deposited some money ($ 30) to get me a bankroll.
I took the first course of Lemon. But it was the first episode of his "Beyond The First Strategy" that got me really making some money: started at $ 57.22 and after some 3k hands I now have a bankroll of $ 86.18.
Two stats from HM2: +33.8 bb/100; std dev in bb: +8.49.
LeakBuster: sample size 2960; leaks 10; potential leaks 37; grade A+. For the moment I'm happy with that.
Yesterday I recieved The Mental Game of Poker by Tendler/Carter. Having read the first pages of it I'm going to use his ideas on learning. In the past I have put a lot of effort in gathering ideas but never really taken time to implement and master the basics. And this not just in poker.
