day 1

Hi All
Setting up a blog to motivate myself on two things:-
1 Biggest Loser competition at work
I weighed in this week at 213lbs. Very heavy as only 5"7. It runs until 6th June and my target is 50lbs loss. Big money up for grabs ($1000 prize). Also going to train for a half marathon on 24 May.
2 Poker
Going to deposit $20 on Pokerroom. Need to turn this into $20,000 by 1 June so that I can go to WSOP. Going to follow Chris "Jesus" Fergusons bankroll rules:-
a - can only buy into a cash game for 5% of bankroll or $2.50 minimum
b - if in a cash game, stack exceeds 10% of bankroll must leave before next big blind
c - can only buy into a SNG for up to 5% of bankroll of $2.50 minimum
d - can only buy into a MTT for up to 5% of bankroll
I've tried it a few times before and got off the ground quite quickly. deposited $25 before Xmas and had this up over $800 but go drunk last night and put the whole lot into a $5-10NL cash game and blew the lot on a really stupid bluff.
So..hopefully that won't happen again - think keeping a blog or diary might stop me breaking these rules.
OK - off to deposit this $20 - plan for tonite is $1 lucky dollar multi - $2 shorthanded MTT, 2*2.5 buy ins to OH8 0.25-.5 NL - (I guess I'll be pushing with any A2!) 2*2.5 buy ins to 0.25-.5 NLHE - (unfortunately the lowest game on Pokerroom - will just push with top 10 hands 77-AA and AQ,AK) and 2 $1 SNGs.
More news later!
