Inspired by @Anthony Martino's extremely interesting thread (read it HERE, you want to, trust me!), I decided to start logging my own progress in the world of poker.
I'm not planning or aspiring a full-time poker career, hence "Amateur" in the title, and I'm not someone who will spend 5 hours+ a day researching, training and practicing my craft, which is why I replaced "Journey" with "Wanderings". I don't want to mock Anthony's efforts by claiming my path is equal to his after all
So, what's the starting point?
Finally confirmed my ID with PokerStars today, and dropped a measly €10 into my bankroll. The first step is to get into a bit of a rhythm of playing, maybe reading up on some online cash game strategy and making sure that my biggest leaks are plugged.
How is this thread going to work?
I'll be updating my total bankroll in this first post, and I'll be posting interesting hands, new developments and questions below that.
Feel free to mock my bad beats, celebrate my wins, give honest feedback and/or post tips, tricks or anything else related to my wanderings
Which games will I be playing?
Most of the games will be micro-stakes NLHE and PLO. For now, mostly on PokerStars, maybe some Unibet in there as well.
PLO is fairly new to me, so that's especially one to keep an eye on.
Live play is out of the question, because apparently there's a pandemic raging right now.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I hope I will!

Current Bankroll Total: € 15.98
(any discrepancies between this nr. and the below screenshots are because of exchange rates, and I simply can't be arsed to grab a calculator after every session )

Comments: All in the green so far, but that doesn't say much: only 3 cash games so far with just under 2h of total playtime overall. We'll see how this evolves
