 Reason for me starting a blog is that I am moving out this year, and money is going to be tight and I am going to have a lot more free time living so close to my uni, so hopefully I can play a shit load of poker and make a bit of money at the same time. So thought documenting the process might help me achieve it.

Started with $10 on stars with HEM, and am going to grind $2NL 9Max until I reach $100/$125 and then move up to $5NL 9Max. Am working like six days a week until I move in mid sept so I probably wont be able to put in much volume until then, maybe like 1k hands a week .

You, sir have the right attitude but your objectiv self assessment has me worried.

 So far i've played 2400 hands and made $6.50, my stats have been 13/10 which I am cool with at the moment. I think i've been playing alright, so I'm just going to keep this going. I am working 7 days a week at the minute trying to get all the money I can before uni, so when I do have spare time I want to be playing not studying, but I need to find a balance somewhere between the two.

I would post biggest winner and loser but i'll have to do that in the next post as I cant post the url crap, whatever that means. I aint playing tonight going drink beer and watch prison break

 Still going along at a nice slow pace, played 5598 hands and up $23.66, which now takes my bankroll to $33.55 (I lost 11 cents somewhere apparently). Hopefully my bankroll is heathly enough now to minimize chance of going busto, I knew until I reached $30 there was a fair chance of going busto if I ran bad or played bad but luckily I'm still here with a BR. I am going to keep going at $2NL 9Max and I am not going to play any other games until I reach $100.

 how many tables are you playing?

55 hand - flop sets, get paid. Nice work. Except that you should have folded preflop.
TT hand - nice hand sir
QQ hand - good if you have reads, if villain is nit then JJ is the absolute bottom of his range though

AA hand - nh sir. Can't argue with getting it in pre with aces
KK hand - turn is closer than you think, again depending on stats/reads, then again 2:1 on the call and it would have to be a pretty solid nit-read
QQ hand - ok, if his range is KK+/AK then this is an ok spot to fold pre.


AA hand, again, aces in pre nh. Consider not playing deep if your roll is tight for the stakes.
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

 6 tables at the moment.
In the 55 hand how come I should of folded preflop? It is because they werent full stacks so even if I hit my set I aint going to get paid off fully?
I'll start posting reads with the hands I post from now one don't know why I didnt tbh.

 Well, two reasons. The one you mentioned, and possibility of getting squeezed makes your hand pretty much dead money. Though I personally don't mind calling it multiway in these stakes. If you hit it you are destined to get paid by at least one fish.
