Who I am:

I started playing online poker around 2005.  I was a losing player until 2008 when I signed up for a training site.  Months before Black Friday I really started to turn a profit, unfortunately most of BR was on FTP.  I took a break from poker for the next year and finished my college degree.  When I graduated in May 2012 I got a job as a web developer and that is where I am at right now.  My job is not bad, but I still feel unfulfilled.  April and May of this year, I played/ran very well on Bovada and ACR, but I have been downswinging hard in June and July.  I have been a member of TPE before but never for more than a couple months at a time.  This time I plan on taking advantage of the forum and contributing to the community the best I can.

Goal:

Move to Costa Rica after April 1st 2014 (when my lease is up) and grind for minimum of six months. 

To accomplish this goal and leave with a bankroll and a life roll that I feel is necessary I need to average $2000/month over the next 8 months.  This would put me in a position to live life, have fun, and not be broke if I fail in CR.  

My life outside of poker needs to be nitty as well.  What I mean by that, is that while I have this job right now, I have to be saving every penny possible to help build up my life roll.  $100 bar tabs are unacceptable, eating out every night is unacceptable and buying useless things is unacceptable.  Half of every pay check will be put into my life roll.  I want to live a much simpler life, that's why I wanted to move to Costa Rica in the first place.

I will watch a minimum of 10 videos per week.

Post hands as often as I can.

Comment on hands that I see in the forum.

LISTEN to others and try to learn from everyone.

1 day per week minimum I will review hand histories and try to find my leaks.

TPE: 

Even though I haven't been a member for a long time on this site, I do listen to all the podcasts and I know this is by far the best site for tournaments (I have been a member of a lot of different ones).  Besides that, I know that there are good people here who are ready to help and want to see us succeed.  

Conclusion

My mind is pretty much made up that I am going to do this.  If I wanted to I could leave right now but I want to do the right thing and build more so there is less pressure on me when I do leave.  I have my degree to fall back on if I fail.  But if/when I get there, no matter how long I last, it will be worth it to me no matter what the outcome is. 

Thanks guys. LETS GOOO!
