the start

Welcome to my blog.
I have chosen to start my own blog for the reason to keep track of my progress, and for the possibility to get some community friends that I can discuss poker with or just increase my usage of this forum by any means.
A little information about myself, I’m 21 living with my girlfriend, have chosen a school that fits my brain (just read the syllabus, and nail the finals), and the best part is that I don’t need to be at the school at all. Last final was chemistry and got A, and didn’t read half of what I should.
My poker career if you can call it that, have been a roller-coaster from the start where I donked money away, then a leap where I played the 60$ 9-Max Turbo where I made 3000$ profit in a month, with both deep runs in MTT and other tournaments, and then to quitting poker just to return again. I’m a study horse of poker because I see it useful to improve my skills at something that will give me the ability to make money.
I currently multitable 20 tables at the 1.5$ 9-max turbo, and this is the third time I’m down at this limit in the last 2-3 months, I can easily beat this limit, and the 3.5$ but the last 3 attempts on the 7$ have failed, therefore I’m in a bit of a hole, where I’m trying to dig myself out.
I’m doing something wrong at the 7$, I just have a hard time figuring out what it is, and I’m down around 100 buyins at that level, of cause I’m also 70 buyins below EV but my redline is still -5.9% ROI, and this is over 600 games.
So I’m just grinding my way up to the 7$ again, and I have started to work more intense with my game, and going more hard headed into studding my own game more, and improving all aspects that I can.
My main poker goal is to become a poker pro, but if this is 10 years into the future then no problem, I’ll just be that more ready when I become a poker pro. (Not saying I wouldn’t like to have the means to go pro tomorrow)
I’m a firm believer in setting small goals to achieve mediocre goals that will achieve my main goal, become a poker pro.
Therefore:
Current small goals
Get back up to 7$ SNG’s
Keep my improvement schedule (I have worked out how I’m going to study poker, by creating a firm set of rules about when and where I’m studding)
Countinueing to eat healthy (was about to add “and workout” but I don’t think doing sit ups once a day can be called a workout..)
Current mediocre goals
