Where to start ?

     So, I did a lot of thinking and I am aware of the reason why I am doing so bad. Poor bankroll management, playing various games and stakes, from 50NL zoom to SNGs to MTTs... I am definitely going to stop playing zoom poker, and I will focus on 3.5$ 50fifty SNGs and 3.5$ 18 man and 45 man SNGs and occasional shots at up to 11$ MTTs... Then when I build a solid bankroll try to move up to 7$ SNGs.
     I do watch often coaching videos and read strategy articles everywhere available but I haven't signed up for any coaching sites, mostly because it's expensive and due to my working hours there's not much time but I am considering it. I did get a holdem manager via promotion on pocketfives and it helps me analyze my game. I think to start with 3-4 tables at the time would be ok.I will start with a 50 $ bankroll but I can always deposit if I don't ove up with it.... Anyway, to sum up - no ZOOM, sometimes low stakes MTTs and multitabling 50fiftys and sometimes 18man and 45man SNGs...

   Your thoughts ?


    I'm always open for an advice.

Introduction

    First of all, let me introduce myself and what is this my new blog all about.

    I am Kenad, from a small town called Bijelo Polje in a small country called Montenegro.
At the moment I am working as a waiter on the coast in a nice touristic town for a full-time job, and for years I have been engaged in poker.
   
     My dream is to become a successful poker player, and eventually to quit this hard job that I'm doing, and dedicate more time to poker and myself and the things I love doing since I don't have much time because it's a very demanding job... I will be posting here the start of my journey and my progress and I hope that with your help and comments on my mistakes and suggestions I will finally improve as a player and that I will get better results with time. To start with I will post my cash and tournaments graphs from holdem manager and sharkscope so you can see how bad I am actually doing in poker, mainly for my poor bankroll management.
   
     I hope that these blog series will be interesting for you and that your feedback will help, and who knows, maybe one day this big downswing will be a thing of the past. I am looking forward for your suggestions on which games to play, which stakes and we will be analyzing hands and the overall strategy together.
 
    I play mostly on Pokerstars and my username is Kenad_MNE for those who like to track my progress.
 
    Greetings from Montenegro :)

As you can see, things are really bad...
