Reading Harrington with a hang over

The first day of the year didn't start that good. I played 8 tourneys without getting ITM in any of them. I think I played ok, but it wasn't my A-game for sure. I was pretty tired after new year's eve and I was also watching TV while I was playing. Watching TV while playing is a bad habit I have. I think it will be hard for me to stop watching TV while I play poker, but I will try to switch of the TV if I go deep in a tourny. This can be an additional new year resolution.

I have also started to read the first Harrington book. I have started to read this book several times, but never finished it. I guess that the main part of all tournament players has read this book already, so its about time I read his books. After this book I will continue with the second part about the End Game. Then I will try to find some additional good books about tournaments.

Introduction

This is my first post on the very last day of the year. I plan to start a new poker journey after I have been away from the "poker scene" for a while. Before my last retirement I played alot of poker, but was probably break even over all. Ok It is fun with poker, but I would like to make some money out of it aswell. So this journey will include a lot of studying for sure.

I will start with a bank roll of $1000 and play MMT and SnG. The BuyIn for MMT will be at most $10 per tourny and I guess I will start playing 10$ SnG:s. I will mostly play on poker sites within european union because the swedish tax authorities are pretty aggresive on players that play on sites outside EU. I will not have any monetary goals. I will just try to play the best poker I am able to and study alot of poker literature, read and write hand analysis on forums, watch training videos etc.

Who am I? I'm a guy living in sweden with my girlfriend and two kids. I´m around 40 years old and work as a business consultant at an IT company. Due to my family status and my job I will not have like 20h sessions playing poker. It will be more balanced. If I go really deep in a tourny I guess I can be late for work because I have a pretty flexible job.

Ok, lets play!
