I need goals, rules, and guidelines in poker or I just don't stay disciplined, my biggest weakness. Being 19 and having way too much $ will do that to most anyone I think. Therefore I'm coming up with a plan I'm gonna stick to till I hit $100,000. Tonight I cashed out all but 3,500.This is an aggressive plan, but I need a challenge and I think I can do this and think it will make me better. I have been grinding 3/6 for way too long.I'm starting at 1/2. Once I hit the BR mark I will move to stated level...4k -> 2/46k -> 3/610k -> 5/1025k -> 10/2060k -> 25/50If I drop down below the BR mark for that level, I will move back down till I get it back.I'll play alot of HU cash probably, but also 6max. I'm gonna try to really concentrate when I play, and play no more than 5 tables at a time. I of course will allow myself to play lower limits than my bankroll suggests if huge fish are there, like playing 3/6 with 20k, but I really don't plan on it. The best players suggest being aggressive with your bankroll, and playing tough opponents and finding ways to beat them is necessary. I am sick of relying on fish at lower levels.For HU sng's I'm using the 30 buy in rule but I doubt I'll play very many.If I happen to play tournaments, they won't count towards this, I will probably only play the Sunday's anyway.I have no clue how long this will take, lately I haven't had that much time for poker. I am going to cash out during this process too, to keep putting $ into stocks, but I will count the $ i cash out towards being part of my bankroll even if it's not online since if I really need to, I can get it there anyway.
I'm not gonna be updating here much more, because I'm updating my progress each day on www.talkingpoker.com

2 breaks
i have been taking a break from poker since tuesday b/c i dont hardly have time for it unless i stay up late, and its messin up school. right now i want to get on the right track with school, poker comes last. I might play the Sunday tournies tomorrow if nothing is going on.
The bigger and more interesting Break im on tho is with my GF. lately ive really been meeting alot of other awesome girls and maybe getting greedy about wanting them, i dn, but really, for alot of people college is the time they meet their future wives. While I can see myself marrying Denise, I've been with her almost 3 years so really I dn what else is out there in a way. I just want to be able to get with and date other girls without feeling bad. I still like denise alot and feel bad cuz she really took it harder than i thought she would, and thinks the break is stupid. After 2 days of fighting tho and me getting alot of crying phone calls we're totally fine now. She understands where I'm coming from and I understand where she is, but still I think I need the break. I'm thinking after a month of so if we still want to be together, like we probably will, I'm gonna just start "dating" her instead of "going out" with her. I talked to her about it already and it's hilarious how if i call it dating she thinks it's fine if I get with other girls. Of course this allows her to get with other guys too, but hopefully she won't too much, and I doubt she will.
I did try getting with Denise while we were on a break, I really thought it would work. I have a class with her and ever since we broke up she's been trying to impress; tanning, wearing cute little clothes, being extra flirty. So when I finally decided to go to her place I thought I pretty much had it in the bag. We start making out and I'm like wow I'm a genius for diong this, then she stops and pulls the stupidass "I don't know if this is right, you can't have your cake and eat it too." I kiddingly tell her to "give into her emotions" but she isnt the slutty type at all which is good, but she said she needed a commitment for me to be doing stuff with her.
Anyway I think this break is def. good for me even tho some girls have called me a whore for it. I don't see it that way, I just want to be able to get to know other girls better, and actually most my girl friends and guy friends agree with me even tho some make me feel bad when they say any guy would want her and crap, which is basically true. Hopefully I can start seeing this one girl thats amazing in one of my classes, she already has a bf tho so it will be a challenge. we will see

update
k i just got home its 3 am im pretty drunk still but i think this post will make good sense anyway. i decided tonight im not gonna play poker for a week. i need to concentrate on school, and i now realize how much more important friends are. Ive made Alot of new ones this semester and ive been goin out alot and honestly i just dont have time for poker right now plus i think i will find new and more productive things with to do. I have a postive bb/100 right now but a negative $ total of 10k b/c i lost a 13k pot with KK vs ATo on a 249 flop vs. fuckin Elky's bitch ass.
also, i broke up with my gf 4 days ago. she really wants to get back together. i feel ridiculously bad and shes taking it way worse than i thought. I REALLY need a break tho, we both were taking each other for granted way tooooo much. i KNOW this will be good for me cuz i have a few other girls in mind, one in particular, and i hope she becomes a little more independent. I guess u could say were on a break cuz i Really think we might get back together eventually but i know i HAVE to date other girls and at least see wut else is out there. some of my friends agree, most guy friends call me an idiot cuz they say shes so hot. i still never told her i cheated on her, really hope she doesnt find out. i dont think she wiill. i was tempted today to ask her back out when i saw her, she of course tried and planned to look extra good to make me jealous and it worked in a way. Honestly pretty much any guy would love to go out with her, so sometimes i wonder who i think i am to break up with her, and a few guys have told me, joe wtf are u thinking, every guy wants her, u are just too used to having her. really im just confused and dn wut the fuck i want right now besides other cute girls however bad that sounds. trust me out of 30k kids at mizzou there are PLENTY of beautifull girls. anyway i think this break will be good for me and make mre realize a few things, then maybe ill realizre im better w/o her, maybe ill realize i was taking her for granted and want her back for good- which i could really see happening. shes awesome. shes told me she wants to marry me,. and in a message today she told me "unlike her, she doesnt think she'll ever find any1 better than me, but apparently i do" although its mean she makes me feel good. she loved me more than i even knew and i feel terrible when she cries to me but i just have to stick with it for now. 3 weeks at Least, and i told her that, and in general shes been sad but real cool about it. shes an awesome girl.
wow sry if that went on forever im still pretty damn drunk tho im not gonna lie it took me like 9 times to remoember my password to get on to here.

january done
I played 21k hands this month, 18k profit, and like 7ptbb/100.
Decent month overall. I think I really improved my HU game and will prob be playing it more this next month. I played a decent amount before college but once at college did fun college stuff goin out and actually attending class and hangin out with friends and meeting awesome people, pretty much had no time for poker which is fine. it made me realize how im not even Close to being addicted to poker, i never even miss it when i dont play. It can be alot of fun at times and i enjoy the challenge and competion of it, but mainly i play for the $.
This was a great month for me as a person, and a solid one for poker. Honestly I don't know how it couldn't be a great month for me. Since coming back to college I really realized this is the time of my life. 27,000 kids, without parents, tons of hot girls, parties, close friends, my gf, and freedom and I'm learning alot, and possibly making more money than I will ever again in my life (hopefully not tho.) All those things together are just ridiculous and it's everyday is alot of fun.
I'm doing SOOO much better in school this semester compared to last semester. Last semester if I attended 1/2 my classes it was a good week, this semester ive only missed 3 classes and they were all from 1 day where I was sick. I'm actually doing my homework on time and have alot of balance to my life now. My roomate is really good about all that, so it helps alot. Also it makes a big difference having one of ur best friends as a roomate, it's been alot of fun and we are both helping each other out alot in different ways.
Me and the GF are better than ever too, I think I'm finally gonna man up and tell her about my dumb cheating incident on New Years. It kills me when my best friend at Miami calls and we talk, and he always asks if I told her yet and I always have to say no. I never thought my guy friends would care much, but now I realize they all really like my GF too in a caring way, and they know she would never even think of doing that to me, and she doesn't deserve it at all. Also I think alot of my friends look up to me for certain things like integrity and fairness and tho they can sympathasize with me for cheating cuz the girl was v attractive and i was wasted, I really think they are actually disapointed in me in shocked sort of way. I will say tho cheating is like my weakness - girls in general are. Lately I honestly think i care too much about appearance and I need to work on that. I know my GF's not gonna take it well but I also know I have to tell her. Obviously now I wish it never happened. obviously i didnt tell any of them about this blog either.
hopefully next month will be just as fun and hopefully as profitable :).

HU SNG's
i am getting no poker in, and the few times i actually try to theres always people in my room and i cant concentrate so ive just been bleeding off $ online in cash games since i got back. I always play for like 15 min then i just realize i am not playing good and quit annoyed. Apparently I really need it to be a little more calm so i can concentrate.
Really though I want to find a way to start playing more again just to keep making good $. This month I havent made much at all - but i havent played much either. For the month im up about 6k. One thing I can do basically on autopilot and without having to think and without tilting is the HU sng's. I am going to start playing those alot more often I think. Anywhere between the $210 to $1100 turbo's. I'll track how they go and show results at end of month and unless I get alot of free time soon alone I probably won't play much cash games at all.
tomorrow i have a quiz i havent started studying for, later.

college
only a little more than a week into the school year but ive been to every class so far and have actually been keeping up with homework. its sooo easy too theres SO much time in a college day i have no idea how i couldnt fit it all in first semester. this semester has been alot of fun already basically goin out every other night, i forgot how much fun college was.
i havent been playing really any poker lately. with the new laws about neteller and all that it just seems like its gonna be alot harder to make any $ at and it just seems pretty unimportant to me lately. i would actually like to find some time to fit it in and if i can i will, but ive just been really busy so far.
