About me + Start of the challenge

First a little about my poker history. I've been playing poker for about one and a half year now. I've started out on tournaments, sng's and low limit nl holdem and i've wasted lots of money. Mostly in tournaments with way too high buyins for a player just starting out. In that period i also played limit tournaments in the holland casino with a 60 buyin and optional addon. I never won a thing except for the occasional money finish in an online tournament.

Later on i also started playing the NL Holland casino tournaments in amsterdam and after a couple of tries i managed to win 3200 euros by splitting the first and second prize with some other guy. I think that basically made up for all the losses i made up till then.

I can say that i´ve paid a prize to learn the game but now i´m beginning to think i can beat the 50 NL game ( and hopefully the 100 NL game ). Since a couple of months i'm using pokertracker and am actively tracking my game. Right now i play low limit cash games and an occasional tournament.

In a moment i will start the 15 up / 5 down challenge.

Current BR: 577.25
Target BR: 1327.26
Point of failure: 327.25

I'll try to post some key hands after each day. I'm not that great of a player yet so this will really be a challenge for me. Feedback on any hands i post will be appreciated.

The game is No limit Texas Holdem 50 NL, the cadillac of poker... 2 tables.... here we go!

What site are you gonna play at?

I play at party poker. I've tried Everest poker and i recently installed full tilt poker and signed up through raketherake. I wasn't aware of RTR until recently. I still need to look at what site offers the best rakeback offer. It seems like partypoker with its partypoint system sucks compared to 29% rakeback at fulltilt.
