The first step to recovery is acceptance, and to lose denial. So here it goes, I am a fish. I have lost around £1000 playing 10, 25 and 50 NL over the past six months, this is a reflection of both a lack of poker skill and problems I have with myself. However this is going to change.

So I introduce to all fellow leggo members The PTR Challenge. In the next twelve moths I aim to erase all dets I have on PTR at 10, 25 and 50 NL, and I aim to have a bank roll of $3000 by January 1st 2011. I am starting off with a bankroll of $278 (£180) and will play 10NL. Once I erase my 10NL dets I will move up to 25NL and once I have erased those depts., up to 50NL and hopefully by the end of the year be playing 100NL. This will take many hand history reviews, videos, sweat session, hand threads and statists reviews, but these are the figures I aim to make:

$250 or 25 Buy INS at 10NL 6 max
$380 or 16 Buy INS at 25NL 6 max
$350 or 7 Buy INS at 50NL HU
Be a winner at 50NL 6 max
Be playing 100NL
Have a bankroll of $3000

I will update readers on the 8th of every month on my progress!
