PLO journey

Hi guys! 

My name is Rok and I come from Slovenija, a small country in central Europe. I am 29 years old and finished Faculty of Law. I started playing poker about 5 years ago. I got a 50$ bonus on bwin and managed to grind it to 10k$. This was in a 2year period, but then I was geting close to finish school and get my degree, so I quit playing and cashed out. I haven't played serious since then.

But now in May i had 16$ on my PS account. I won a 3$ PLO tourney (actually we split three ways) and got 155$. Then I said let's give it a try and started playing PLO5 ZOOM. The rake is brutal but the players are very, very bad. So after about 25k hands at PLO$ ZOOM I now have around 275$ and want to see where this is going.

I have a job and not much free time, but still I want to play a little more serious so I will set myself some poker goals and try to achieve them.


1. GOALS:

SHORT TERM GOALS:

[ ] play 20k hands per month, two tabling PLO5 ZOOM

[ ] be active on the forum as much as possible (hhs, comments, watching videos...)


MEDIUM TERM GOALS:

[ ] become a gold member on PokerStars

[ ] build a BR and climb to PLO25


LONG TERM GOALS:

[ ] don't have any actually regarding poker, will play just for fun and try to stick to this plan and we'll see where this is going



2. OTHER THINGS THAT I WILL TRY TO DO:

- set a stop loss and quit for half an hour or more, if I loose 4BI, quit for the day If i losee 8

-try to think out loud when there is an important decision in a hand to be made, use timebank and don't just click buttons or autopilot

-keep a diary where I write reviews of my play and give bad notes if I don't follow my guidelines


3. BANKROLL MANAGEMENT:

Starting money: 275$

Starting limit: PLO5

PLO10-350$, move down to PLO5 if I reach 300$

PLO25-750$, move down to PLO10 if I reach 625$



I am writing this mainly for myself, but if you guys have any comments, ideas, suggestions about anything, please let me know. I hope you will crush at the tables. 

Will start playing later this week. GG ang GL, Rok.
