After a disapointing Sunday on the tournament felts (oh, what could've been!), I figured this morning is the right time to finally start my poker journal. I've been thinking about it for years, wanted to make one on another forum, but I think I might've found my niche here so here we go.

A little about me:

Father of four kids
Played professionally from 18 to 25, retired then with a lot of monies, made a lot of bad business and life decisions, ended up busto and in jail.
I am 36 now, trying to sustain my family with a steady grind.

I've always been a cash game player but recently most of my profits have come from binking tournaments. Can't pursue them full time because they are too time consuming, also my personality is more suited for cash games. I don't think I could deal with the highs and the lows of the MTT grinder life that well.

I am from Quebec, Canada and play on a ring-fenced site here. Games are very soft, but rake is kinda high, and they don't run a lot higher than NL200, but since this is what I am currently playing I want to focus on that site for the next 6 months and see how high I can take my roll. Right nowwe start this blog with around 4k in the account and a few months of expenses saved up. I am currently in a good spot financially compared to the previous months where I was forced to grind NL100 only. I have to not be lazy, play a lot of hands and the rest should take care of itself.

I use GTO Wizard and watch videos on RIO to work on my game. In the past year I've also made a lot of personal improvement by quitting smoking and generally living a healthier lifestyle.

I will try to post weekly with some cool hands I played and to track my progress. Admittedly, one of my goal is to build a social circle in poker, which is something I've always been lacking. Thanks for reading and good luck with your grind!
