As you can see from the progress bar on my operation gif (those things are damn cool by the way) I have actually been playing. I thought I might as well write a little update. I don't think this operation thread is going to have a lot of hand analysis. I've really never been into that and probably won't consider it until I actually get to a point where a hand confuses me. Considering that I am at 25NL still that won't be for a long time. Rather, I'd like this thread to focus on why I'm playing poker to remind me why I need to keep grinding and perhaps some tips from other players on how to survive the grind.

Anyway, progress is slow but good.
