Hey guys,
I've recently moved back to MTT's after playing husng's & spins for a while, and I've decided to make a thread to keep myself focused & motivated on my grind.
About me:
I started playing when I was 15, started poker more seriously when I was 16 and when I was 17 I had a big winning year playing mtt's & hyper husng's, which is when I decided to quit high school and give fulltime poker a shot.
Unfortunately I was quite bad in handling money, and all the money I made was spent quite quickly, resulting in me having <2k left when I turned 18 (febuary last year). This is why In april last year I found a stake.
I played ~7k 15$ husng's in the first 2 months, and then Moved on to spins. Unfortunately this didn't work out for me as I seemed to lose interest in spins quite rapidly, and running ~300 bi's under EV at 15's. After 8k games I finally got to breakeven, paid of the make-up and left the stable.
It was around this time that I had just moved to Malta to grind from there, and a friend of mine suggested I should grind side events at EPT Malta and he would buy a large % of my schedule.
So I did and ended up bricking most tournaments on the schedule, until I decided to play a 10pm 500 hyper before going out with my roommates, the one tournament I didn't sell 50% for, and I ended up binking 3rd place for 9k. Two weeks later I repeated this for 6.5k in a hyper during the MCOP, which gave me the roll to grind mtt's again online.
I then dabbled a bit playing anything that ran online, but realised I'm probably better off taking the lower variance route and starting at the bottom. So since 21/12 I started playing anything up to 22's, and these have been my results since:
Avg BI: 16.93 ROI: 61%
Goals for 2016
This sunday I moved to Bangkok, where I'll live for the rest of the year if all goes well. I decided to start with a 4000$ roll for poker, so that I can apply some brm.
Goals for the end of 2016:
[ ] Win $100k
[ ] Prove to be a winning player at stakes up to 215$
January goals:
[ ] Buy-in for 2000$ per week minimum.
[ ] Keep my ROI over 50%
[ ] Grind 5 days per week, not more & not less
[ ] Start grinding between 7-8AM.
[ ] Find a local gym and go 3 times per week.
Will try to give some updates after every grind day, thanks for following & good luck at the tables!
