I have decided to finally create a blog here on LP.

This is my current situation as far as poker goes. I feel very confident in my game at the $0.05/0.10 NL fullring tables. However I have yet to be able to do well in $0.10/0.25 NL. I was amazed when looking at the stats before posting. I have played alot less hands than I had thought. Indeed the number of hands that I have played really don't indicate much due to how small the sample size is (by the way this is nowhere near all of my hand history just maybe the last couple months). I really feel like I should start upping the number of hands I play weekly by a large margin. Afterall my current condition is pretty ideal to be able to have free time to pursue this hobby. I currently live at home with my parents after having had recently graduated from college with a Math and Economics degree. Having completed my studies in 3.5 years and graduating cumma sum laude I should be in a good position to get a respectable job. However at the moment I feel like enjoying my life as long as my parents can stomach me. In the future I see myself gainfully employed with poker as a hobby.

At the same time I am very competitive and I want to do as well as possible in poker. I think that the natural variance in poker is incredibly brutal, but at the same time a blessing. Being able to lose despite making the right play adds doubt to ones mind. While this is taxing on the nerves it also will force you to constantly reevaluate your play. It stops you from getting complacent. Every downswing even if variance induced has made me take another look at my game of poker. As such every downswing thus far I believe has improved my play. I wish to keep this perspective up for as long as possible. Because variance can also have negative effects on how people play. I wish to avoid blaming everything on luck. I want to be able to more accurately perceive probability and risk.

PS I would like to be able to bounce ideas and hands off people in the future. Anyone interested in talking please drop me a PM.
