Cookies makes the world go round!
Hi there!
My handle is “CookiesAreForever”, now, that might tell you something about what kind of person I am, but then again, maybe not :).
I was born in the summer of 1982 in Sweden, (no, not Switzerland) where I also still reside. By day I am working as a consultant within IT-management and RPA-solutions. I love working out, both by lifting weights in the gym and running, I do occasionally bicycle as well :). Oh! And I do love cookies, which is probably why I also love working out… since, when I workout I can eat more cookies, right!? 😉
My first pokergame I played back in 2003, I was horrible, but, I thought I was pretty good. I mainly played NLH -> MTTs, SNG’s and CGs both live and online. I started to expand my pokergames to play Omaha, canadian stud, 7cs, 7cs8, PLO8 in 2004 but I only played the other games live and stuck to NLH online, low/microstakes.
I did have a desire to become better, I’ve bought countless books, I’ve even bought coaching hours but I’ve always failed to get through the books or understand all the concepts. Or rather, I’ve never given myself the opportunity to succeed, I’ve always looked for that “over night transformation”, or that “quick fix” that doesn’t really exist.
So, this time around I started by making an account over at Run it once, however, I soon noticed that I didn’t like their way of teaching, there are no clear paths and they skip a lot of stuff that I feel I’m lacking. I didn’t really search for anything new, I just powered on, watching 1-3 videos per day and also playing 300-1k PLO5 or PLO10 per day but then my friend made me aware of “PloMastermind” and I though, wow, $99 / month is kind of expensive for a microstakes player as me. However, I did think about it some more and soon decided that since my ambitions are to get better and play higher it would be a good investment, at least sign up for a month and have a look at what is offered, so I did and here I am :).
I have now completed the 1st week of the 10 week program, now, I did go through the days a little quick, but in my defence, I’ve done everything asked and I do not feel that I’m not understanding any of the concepts and I do love the mental aspect of the course. I’ve started listening to “Primed mind” which so far, I like, if you haven’t tried it, I highly recomend that you do. I like to ingest books in different ways so this time I decided that I would listen to “The mental game of poker” instead of reading it, I’ve just started out so we will see how I like it.Enough about that, let’s get on with the “VIsion, Purpose and milestones”
Vision
I’m a part-time professional pokerplayer and I enjoy the game, I love the oppotunity poker gives me to form new relations and how lucky I am to be able to travel to world. I never give up learning and I always evolve.
Poker should for the most part be fun, I do not want to lose my passion for the game so I need to find ways to do that in case I start to feel fatigued or if I find myself not prioritizing learning.Purpose
I work on both my mental game and poker game almost every day to become a better player which enables me to travel, meet new people and grow a deeper love for the game. Not only will this show in my pokergame but it will also shine through in my personal life. I am a very calm and stable person as is but I need to start making more concious decisions an not just “go with the flow”.
Milestones
Dedicate at least 1 hour per day to studying
Dedicate at least 30min per day to go through my handhistories
Dedicate at least 30 minutes per day to the mental aspect
Move up in stakes from PLO10Play in a PLO game outside of Sweden
Be a winning player after 100k hands in mixed stakesHopefully I got the assignment right and didn’t make to many spelling mistakes.
I intend to write here a few times a week to keep you updated on my progress both on and off the tables.
If you have any questions about nutrition on training feel free to ask away. I am not a licensed professional but I do have a lot of knowledge about both :).
Good luck in life and at the felt!
