My poker Blog with milestones goals and more.
Small introduction of myself. Im 34 years old. Ive been playing poker since i was arround 14. Starting with limit poker online and live moving into NL and by the time i was 18 i made a decent living playing nl, mostly 6h , some HU some tournaments. I tried study and playing but since i was traveling i couldnt manage studies so i quite. I was traveling for some time before slowly starting to get tired of playing late games, long and the swings. So i took a break. I met my wife and i started a regular job, she got pregnant and jumping ahead of time i now have a great job 2 kids and still togehter with the wife. Very standard life but maybe last 3 4 years i came back to poker mostly playing live 1 – 2 euro games.
Rake in my live games are pretty high 5% up to 15 € so this hobby of mine and my goal was always just to try not to spend money but have a social time and if i earned any great but it would always go into whatever we had to invest in as a family( house improvements and so on.) Ive played both hold em, omaha 4 and 5 cards each game with decent sucsess and feel that i manage all games on a decent level.
Now ive decided to try break a bit out of the cycle, my diet havnt been as good and sleeping habits etc. have been bad at times. I want to restart excersice, read up on mental training, already started with the app that was recomended in the course and started reading (soundsbook) The mental game 2. I want to get into playing more online to build up a pure poker bankroll which i can use both on net but also live.
Long wall of text but wanted to explain the situation which also will help me when i look back to this post. I have arround 2k euros in starting bankroll but i will probably start lower than my bankroll states to get some volum into huds and see how my winrate etc is now. I am now done with my first week of the course and havnt played after starting as i want to do it right.
So here are my current goals
1) Drink 1 L of water every day
2) Go to the gym atleast 2 time every week
3) I will focus on my sleepinghabits sleeping atleast 7 h and not go to bed after 01 on a normal workday.
4) I will study and follow the course for atleast 2 hours everyday
5) I will start meditating 10 minutes each day
6) I will start eating more healthy and plan meals better
7) I will strive to improve quality in my pokergame over quantity
1) Milestone: Finish the course
2) Be profitable . positive EV
3) Make it possible to travel with the earned money from poker.
I will update this every sunday to see my own progress.
Edit:17/08 Will start to edit instead to keep it more tidy and more consistent.
So water consumption up to a new high, makes me feel good. as ive mostly lived on soda, now i drink alot of water had 1 day were i drank only water from 7 in the morning until 8 in the evning.
Poker wise strangest thing happened, i was sitting playing on my mobile all in or fold and just happened to hit royal flush jackpot increasing bankroll by 500 $. My roll increased to over 1100 making it possible for me to takesome shots at 010 025 my winrate is improving again since i cut down on tables and time and focused more on my plays.
After 25k hands 178 net won. 4,35 bb/100 25 vpip 3bet 7,63 pfr 17,6.
IM done with week 5 but this was a hard study week, think i will have to go thru videos and quizzes more. Alot of concepts regarding IP and OOP i got main point but its advanced. Atleast now i have a higher database of hands to get back to in HM3.
Looking forward to diving into my pfr training now again to see how ive improved in each position and what leaks i have to fix.
Think atm my SB play preflop is the highest leak as im quite sure whats good enough to call.Also i lack alot of stats on players since its GG network so alot of notes on some players but feel like i cant use all the info i should have like how much they 3 bet etc. makes me to some light calls pre or tight folds sometimes i think. Maybe not 4betting enough etc.
@jnandez would love your input on how you adapt to not having alot of theese stats while playing on gg. Since i like the client decent rakeback and good looking, think star sucks comparing RB, betfair didnt look so good and partypoker had noone playing at my stakes.
Playing arround 2 – 6 hours each day.
Study 2 – 4 courses each day
1 hour deep training 3 times a week.
