Just started this blog to track my poker progression and talk about random shit that happens in my life. My name is Ryan and I go to the University of Nevada. I'm a Junior and I'm studying Business Management with a minor in Gaming Management. I live in my fraternity house but we are in the process of getting shut down, which sucks. The University filed hazing charges against our fraternity and revoked our charter. hHis situation blows because I love my fraternity and have met some great people here....oh well what can you do?

Anyway, I just deposited on stars and am going to start grinding 100nl. I have played 100nl in the past with good results, but family issues and tilt caused my to withdraw my roll. I am starting over from scratch and will try to post my results here every day.

I made some rules to follow for myself:

• 500 hands a session
• Dont tilt!
• stop loss at 3 buyins
• 6 tables
• watch videso each day
• post more hands

Heres some stats from today:

I would have been up way more but this hand happened....Standard cooler
