I'm making my first run on Stars with a bankroll and a serious mindset. I've messed around in poker recreationally for years but in the last few months I've had a passion rekindled with it and have decided to take it far more seriously. I still work full time so I can't dedicate more time in this project without seeing some results.

My plan is to comfortably beat 5NL, move up to 10NL whilst building a bankroll eventually eyeing the higher stakes like 50 or 100NL. In a few years I'd like to be making most of my living with playing poker, having cash games as my bread and butter and going for the big cheese occasionally in the form of large tournaments.

I am 100% convinced I can do this and make it work. I've had a penchant for any game of strategy since I first played Age of Empires and chess years ago. At it's barest bones poker is a deep and complex game of strategy that is constantly evolving which is fascinating to me. The fact that being good at this particular game of strategy can earn you a decent living is even more fascinating.

So I'm only a few days into this, graph is looking alright so far. I'll be updating this thread with tales of great victory and defeat!
