Hello everyone, it's gonna be my first blog. I'm 20 years old guy, living mainly from poker.
I've been playing poker for like 6-7 years now. At the beggining this game was like the best thing to ever happen to me, I used to wait that time when I'll get back from school and will be able to play poker again, I used to be playing through like all sites, all the freerols possible to hopefully make couple dollars and than shoot at the nl2 and hopefully to make a bankroll out of it. And I made it happen, somehow managed to make a solid bankroll for nl2 , after that I always played cash, made shots at higher limits even with pretty small bankrolls, but it was exciting and I couldnt stop playing even being tired , I would still play regardless at most of my freetime.
However, in last like 2 years ive been mainly playing NL50, but always was kinda scared to move up or thought that my winrate will drop like in half anyways and it won't be a huge difference what limit I play, so why not just stay safe at nl50. I had excuses at first like "i ll reach 30bi bankroll than i will move up, than i was like ill reach 40bi maybe then.." and I never did, all it did for me it stopped me from improving, the game became boring, no more adrenaline , no more joy of playing. I played purely to make some amount of money. And everyday I would find some excuse to not play , I had to make myself play it wasn't fun for me anymore and even making money wasn't fun anymore because I had no further goals with poker, I became way too comfortable with the situation and it killed all my joy about the game.
So that's why I cashed out my all money. Left myself 20$ and I start back from nl2 where my love for the game was made. Ill be taking shots everytime I have over 10bi at micro stakes, and over 20bi when I reach more reasonable stakes again
So hopefully by this I can get my passion back for the game again and use all of my potential trying to reach highest stakes I can. I already started today , almost played 2k hands and funnily enough I had so much fun playing again after a while. This challenge really makes me feel motivated again and I can't wait to build my bankroll again but this time I'm taking way different aproach and hopefully I can push it to the limit
