Progress log
My name is Mauro Farina. I´m a phycologist and University teacher. I am from Argentina and I join Mastermind a few months ago. I played discontinuously no limit holdem for about 10 years with some winnings (a little more than 13k) that make me think I have a shot at pro. Unfortunately back then I was not playing with a pokertracker and I cannot know how my level was at that time. I have been playing PLO discontinuity for three years and since then I stopped playing holdem completely. Earlier this year I quit my previous job (tennis coach) and I have decided to dedicate myself to psychology and poker. I also work as a sport phycologist the mental area with some players and others athletes. In fact I have a Spanish-speaking YouTube channel (Mind Grinder Poker) where I share knowledge about sports psychology and poker. Although I am confident that I can do well as a poker player, I am currently having difficulties, since dedicating myself full time involves a different dynamic, which I am not used to. So I have a lot to learn. I started playing in PLO 25 with a bench of 100 buy ins, but it went badly and I went down to NL 10. Recently I´m back to 25 PLO with grate results. I play in Pokerstars, Winamax and Argentina´s poker room. Also, recently a study group that I met in Mastermind is helping me and I´m noticing improvements in my game. I really want to improve and I have high expectations of being able to do it. There is nothing I want more than become a professional!!!

Hi Mauro,
Welcome to the PLO Mastermind! Glad to have you on board. Argentina is a beautiful country. I’ve been there multiple times.
Sounds like an interesting and fun journey, to combine psychology and poker. I’m sure you can learn a lot from both areas. If you have any questions about the content or PLO in general, feel free to post them below the videos or here in your progress log.
Good luck at the tables. Looking forward to your next update.
Cheers
Fernando
