Introduction/Progress Log
Greetings everyone!
My name is Nathan, and I’m just starting to work through the 10 week PLO transformation.
A bit about myself. I recently sold my financial services practice in the US at the beginning of the COVID pandemic and have started to play poker full time. I’ve played PLO for a long time on and off semi-seriously, but have always had a college/day job. Pre-black Friday I was playing at big as $5k PLO online and have had on and off success, but was almost exclusively grinding/equity gambling/jamming any flop in which I had a piece without much thought and praying for positive variance, and not spending any time off the tables to get better. I’m currently playing $200-$1k on US sites, and am shooting to be a $1k+ regular in, well, I’m not supposed to give time frames so let’s just call it the near future.
My goal is to play mid and high stakes poker as a career, and provide a comfortable happy life for my family, and be able to continue to travel the world as my former business has allowed me to do. This time I want to do it with no clients to worry about 🙂
I’m married, and am looking to start a family once the pandemic is under control. I also enjoy sports and working out, played lacrosse in college, love to ski, and recently challenged myself to increase my strength in the big 3 of lifting (squats, deadlift, and bench press); and am now messing around with distance running.
As part of this goal, I also want to relocate to a country where I can play online legally. My wife is from China and we both love Europe, so one of these two places to have a home would be ideal. I’m now playing on US sites, my main being Global Poker which is decent, but tough to track since HUDs are not allowed.
I’ve always been a lone-wolf and never really had a core group of poker friends which I’m going to change this time around. Good luck to you all and HMU on discord if you want to connect; SenselessApprentice#9877
Best,
Nathan
