For those that were interested I have copied this from the poker forum I post in. I lost the original thread I started here so if someone has it bookmarked bump it for me please.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my poker experiment. For those of you that don't know, I will be playing poker on a modest bankroll for 30 days and reporting my results for all to see. I have set a personal challenge of $10,000 to $20,000 in 30 days.
I had to put the "kickoff" on hold for a few days because of some personal stuff that came up but I'm going to start tracking everything now. I did get a few hours in the last few days and my bankroll when I started typing this was $791.95 instead of the original $500 I planned to use.
I just read all of the comments in the thread I started asking people to guess the outcome of this experiment and I love every one of them. From the well wishes to the doomsayers I enjoy each and every response. The people that say I will go bust etc. are the reason I decided to do this to begin with. Not only do I love the negative attitudes but I actually thrive on it. It's what drives me to succeed. I even had someone that has played with me call me a fish. Now this is wonderful as poker is my main source of income now and the more people that think I'm a fish the better. I can definately see why someone might think I'm a fish because I often play wild when I'm winding down or just having fun. I also know how to mix it up with the best of them. Either way, I look forward to showing these guys what I'm made of or hearing their taunts if I go bust.
Ok the details. I will be playing at Party Poker and my nickname there is "stocktrader". Feel free to stop by and wish me luck, try to get my money, or tell me how much I suck. I'll mix it up with the best of them in the chatroom as well if that's your gig. I play anything and everything from limit and NL ring games to single and multi table tourneys. Due to the limited bankroll at first I may be playing the smaller limits but that's ok as there are more fish there anyhow.
While I was writing this I played 2 $20 SNG's one of which I busted out 9th and the other I took 2nd leaving me with a profit of $16. I feel like a jouralist getting paid to write about the game I love.
Anyhow, I'll be dropping in often to leave updates for everyone and I hope to see you all at the tables. Feel free to ask me anything.
Starting bankroll as of 7:30 p.m. central time on June 9th is $807.95.
