Got new laptop and orderd wireless internet should be here in the next couple day's. New Account on fultilt just got to deposit $400 its ready in the bank. Install Hem and buy full version. All ready bar the internet should be starting 1'st week in january on schedule so far.
Just a few things i am worried about when i deposit $400 are they going to frezze my account for me to verify who i am and all that shit. Or do they only worry about that when you try and withdraw?

Set up an account on Full Tilt playing some fake money and freerolls to get used to the software. Just got down to last 18/47 from 1500 runners played like 3and half hours now its crashed out and wont let me back in. lol how bad is that i played on stars for 3years and disconected about 3 times. wtf is that all about.

Why do i drink and play poker? Got drunk last night and played online another $80 down the pan. well done me. I wouldn't mind so much but it was on one table at nl10 within about 2 hours. And i was up at one point something like $15. Any ideas on how to stop this happening again?

Right I only just got HEM and after a long days work finally got all the hands i played imported.
And here is the results. Apart from the fact that I'm losing I have no idea what any of the other stuff on there means. I want some one to take a look at my stats for me and translate what they mean for me so i can adjust my game before the new year when i plan on taking on NL10.


Here's a break down off where all the moneys gone.
Position, Hands, Winnings, bb/100, VPIP%,
1) small blind 723, -$31.28, - 43.26, 55.5,

3) early, 400, $9.04, 22.60, 31.5,
4) middle, 601, -$16.26, -27.05, 33.9,

Hi

I am new here but not new to poker i have been playing live and online for 3 years now.
My goal is to be playing 4 table's 6 max nl400 for 40 hours a week. I have given myself 3 years to achieve this. I am going to start with a b/r of $400 playing nl10 4 tables for 20 hours a week. I'm going to move upto nl20 when i reach £1000 (50 B/I's). Move up to nl50 when i reach $3000 (60 B/I's),
n/l 100 $7000 (70 B/I's), n/l 200 $14000 (70 B/I's) and n/l 400 $28000 (70 B/I's).

I have a young family and work full time so i will be putting a schedule together playing 4 hours here and there. I will be taking the odd 3-4 buy-in shot along the way but wont be cashing anything out of the account for the 1st 3 years. I know that this will be extremely hard and i will have to grow as a player and person for this to work. I am committed to it and believe it will work.
I will be playing on stars because there is so much action there and they have great bonuses.
I do not have nor do i know how to use hem or any other poker software. So that's top of my list of things to do. I plan on starting this in january buy then i hope to have hem and using it to its full potential.
I have read about 15 poker books in the past 3 years and believe that you will always learn something from a poker book no matter how crap it was. I have never been that found of forums but as the times are changing i think that it would def be a +e/v if i started using them

So there it is anyone trying. tried or thinking about trying this or a similar challenge please let me know what you think and if you think its doable.

Also if anyone spots any massive flaws in my plan please point out.

thanks for reading.
