– Day 1 – (Study Session 1)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Subject: Pre-Flop RFI
Hours: 4.5
Total Study Hours: 4.5

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I will be playing no poker until I arrive in Montreal on the 30th. At which point I’ll be jumping straight into the 1/2 PLO5 cash games.

So until then, STUDY STUDY STUDY!!

I’m starting from the very beginning with opening ranges.

Starting with (EP) of course.

Using the PLO Trainer, I’m getting between 85% – 95% accuracy.

Oddly i was doing better before I started training certain Categories. Now second guessing myself.

super determined tho, so lets get it!

Today has been a study day. Check out (‘5 card PLO study’)

Some weakness highlighted and some improvements made. Can’t ask for more than that. 2 hours solid study session!

Before that, I Spent the morning really detailing a new morning routine that I’m going to implement in Canada.

It’s easy to say ‘ I’m going to study a lot, play a lot, and I’m sure I’ll be successful’.

For me this method hasn’t worked out.

It’s not structured and easy to sway from.

So my new routine or better described schedule is precise.

<div>

HERE IS A GLIMPSE OF THE FIRST 3 HOURS;

</div>

8.00am – Wake up Drink 1L of Water (5mins)
8.05am – Run 30 mins + Sunlight (30mins)
8.35am – Meditate (15 mins)
8.50am – break (prepare environment for productivity) (10mins)
9.00am – Study (90 mins)
10.30am – Caffeine + Cold Shower (10mins)
10.40am – prepare and eat (Meal 1) breakfast (15mins)

….. It goes on all the way through to 1am

I’ve listened to so many Podcasts and watched so many videos on these topics, from many different creators and feel Its time to actually start applying what I’ve learnt.

If anyone is interested in increasing and improving things such as Memory, Productivity or Health and well being in general. I Highly recommend The Huberman Lab podcast on Spotify!

Thanks for reading and have a nice day 🤠

Be careful with the “Accuracy-Factor” 85-95.

So many startinghands revolve around -0.2 – +0.2 EV ,so you can play much more hands (especially

in livegames ,where they hate nits and you wont be welcome).Mostly cutoff and Button.We have an edge over all live players ,and the shown EV in PLO-trainer is valid only against perfect opponents.

The decisive factor is HOW much EV we loose.For example in high-rake onlinegames, i tend to play slightly less hands that in PLO-trainer cause players wont fold even if it would be correct ,but in livegames i play more (30% VPIP at least).

Nearly there.

So.. Have 3 days left of work.

On the 17th March 2023 a leave my Job. On the 30th March 2023 a leave for Canada.

I have $20,000 (Bankroll) + a 3 months expenses saved up + That is some scary shit!

But not as scary as spending day after day grinding in a job and life I hate.

I’m 33 years old. Single, no commitments. If I don’t try now. I never will.

Sometimes when studying 5 card, i think fuck. Why have i chosen this game. 2 cards is way easier to study😅My brain hurts. But i figure everyone will feel this way and its a relatively new game where we can have a huge advantage if we get ahead of our competition.

The short term plan (next 2 weeks)
1. Finish of last few days of work.
2. Get into my routine of waking up , Exercising and Studying.

3. Set a challenge of 100 hours of study before i leave. (18th – 29th) (8hours a day)
( that’s heavy BUT the way I see it: people (like me) will go to work 10-12 hours a day for the man, make someone else rich, be on time and leave when they say. So now when it comes to my life how can i say ohhh 8 hours a day of studying is unrealistic. It’s not).

4. Set my self up for success, so that when i arrive in Canada i feel calm and confident because I have a plan and a schedule that I just need to adhere too.

LETS GET IT!

I most like the part: “( that’s heavy BUT the way I see it: people (like me) will go to work 10-12 hours a day for the man, make someone else rich, be on time and leave when they say. So now when it comes to my life how can i say ohhh 8 hours a day of studying is unrealistic. It’s not).”
So true!
Gl man!

You are blessed beeing alone,free and independant.

Welcome to the rollercoaster.

Here a few recommendations:

20K Roll only is indeed scary.

So if you live near the live-club,dont spent money for luxory(car,restaurant,clothes,bars,holidays).Invest in your career instead.Use a bike.Learn and study,not only Poker.

Become flexible:

Learn other poker games,be a shark in NL,PLO4+5.Theres always better opportunities…

Learn other games they may play in your area,Backgammon,Gin-Rummy or whatever.

Dont tell anyone your a pro or on the way to it.

Dont talk strategy at the table,NEVER.

Its still ok, if not better, to work parttime,maybe 1-2 days a week.Gives you MUCH better feeling of security,keeps you down to earth ,plus an official income,even it is small,never hurts .

Learn a language or two with an app in your free time.Always a good thing you understand what 2 russians talk abou,t but them not beeing aware YOU understand them.

If you travel later its always an advantage communicating with the locals in their language.You will be accepted.

Im doing your job now 40 years btw so better read carefully.I saw many if not most of you failing,and as you can see in my case, its never too late learning and improving,i study PLO 5 intense now.

Good luck and let me know how its going.
