Up Up and away :) One step at a time. [Updated: 2012-01-25]

Hello, my name is Mantas. I have been playing poker for more than 2 years but I haven't really try to study in to the game and to become a pro up until recently when I have reached the gold level in PokerStrategy and most of the useful strategy articles and videos have been unlocked for me. I also have an opened blog about me trying to reach a bankroll of 0-1k$ :) but thats kinda slow for me so I've decided to start another blog where I will deposit some money and start building my bankroll using this pic below: I will start playing later today at NL2 shorthanded tables at party poker I think. Because I can get strategy points from that room. This is my plan on moving up the limits: Jan-Feb: Move up to NL5 Mar-Apr:Move up to NL10 May-Jun: Move up to NL25 Jul-Aug: Move up to NL50 Sep-Oct: Move up to NL100 Nov-Dec: Move up to at least to NL200 Ultimately my goal is to reach NL400 by the end of the year and cash out at least $10k in profit :) P.S. Will be playing at Poker770 since Party doesn't have NL2 shorthanded tables :) I will be posting daily here about my entire day process, what went good and what went bad and overall will be the conclusion of my bankroll status :) Current bankroll:$36.48 Current limit: NL2 Cashed out amount:$0 Day #1: Well as you can see today wasn't a very good day ($-6.2). The reason for this is that I had terrible luck playing for big pots. First I ran into set over set situation where I was the one with the lower set. Then I shoved all in with JJ vs a very loose guy and he ended up having pocket aces so lost again ;/ Then later lost a pot with QQ vs AK and the last big pot that I can remember was that i had flopped K hi flush and the other guy shoved all in (this time it was ~3$ call from me) and the guy endedup rivering his A hi flush so I lost. I was able to win back some money grinding to lowerer the loss from the bad all in situations :) Anyways tomorrow is a new day hopefully I will not run into so many bad situations that I did today :) Day #2: Nothing really much to day. Didn't play all that well and had some health problems so couldn't win back the money :) Day #3: This was a little better day :) Lost like 4 all in situations where i went in way ahead but lost. Bus dispute all of that and a short gaming time today the loss of bankroll is only $1.02 :) So I think I've finally started going on a right track :) Day #4: Today was a really great day :) Even thought I did not play much today, only 94 minutes, i've managed to make $6.72 profit :) Here's the graph of the day :): Everything went so good today &diams; was feeling very good playing the game, was playing tighter than usual and i guess it pays :) Tomorrow i should be playing for some time but on the weekend I will not be able to play ;/ So I guess I will see ya tomorrow and then on monday :) Thanks for supporting me and good luck at the tables :) Day #5: Played couple of hours today :) The first hour was cinda bad :) lost 2$ during it. Then I took a break and just now finished playing another session of 1 hour in which I made 3$ profit :) so the overall days profit is $0.92 :)) Will only be playing at monday so see ya then. Day #6: Well I'm back :) kinda tired so didn't play a lot only 1h today :) But still it was a good session :) Only the last hand took a bit out of my winnings but still managed to make $1.42 profit :) slowly but surely I'm beating the micros hopefully I will be able to move up to the next limit by the end of Feb. :) Day #7: Well had a little set back today :) Lost couple of 100+bb all ins and the end of the day result is that I've lost over 6$ today. Anyway reviewed all of my all in hands after the session and make some adjustments which I will be applying tomorrow and hopefully win back the loss I had today and win the profit I should win tomorrow :) Day #8: Well today was a superb day &diams; Was playing little more on the tight side since the NL2 table are quite loose so had 18.1 VPIP and 15 PFR :) The beginning of the day wasn't that good :) lost 2 all ins and struggled to get back to the right side of the winnings graph :) but then I've been dealt some nice hands and things turned out very nice for me since I've have won all the main hands. My red line of the graph is close to 0 but I'm not really concerned about it since I've watched the video "Saying good bye to chart poker' and the host showed the graph of a NL100 or NL200 player that had his red line all the way negative and yet he is still make as much money as the host with positive red line. So anyway if you guys want me to post or comment something specific just ask me and I will try to answer you question or post the needed info :)

I don't think that graph comparing will do anything good graph is just the winning that you have plus I'm playing 6max and as I see you're at party where there are no 6max nl2 tables
