Hello everyone, I'm a ACR 25/50nl grinder who has built up a online roll of 5k and I just took out my whole online roll to move onto 1/2 live. Im 18 and I have an extreme passion for the game of poker and love to learn all I possibly can to get better (moved from losing 2nl to winning at 50nl in 6 months of playing poker, which I'm quite proud of). I've decided to dedicate this whole summer to grinding live poker so I can build up a roll of about $25,000 which will allow me to play 2/5 live comfortably before college starts in the fall.
I will be playing 90 days straight for 10 hours a day on average. After the 90 days is over I will then decide if I want to take poker on professionally if everything goes well. I know this sounds absurd and I've been told I'll burn myself out by several people but I know that I have the physical and mental willpower to accomplish this challenge and do so without losing my love for the game. This is the only time in my life that I will actually have the opportunity to do something absurd like this and see if I actually do have a future as professional poker player. I really feel like I'm wasting my time in college and I the idea of working a normal 9 to 5 job makes me want to achieve my poker dreams even more due to my hatred of strict schedules. I want flexibility in my life and thats what poker offers me and a normal job just simply doesn't. I also love in live poker that I can meet and conversate with new people every single day which isn't the case in a lot of jobs. I know that I will have to sacrafice certain aspects of my life this summer to accomplish this challenge and move onto the next level in poker and I've accepted that. The sacrafices a I have to make and dedication I will have to have remind me of a quote that goes somewhat like "Eat oatmeal for a year, so you can eat caviar for the rest of your life."
Anyways I thought people would enjoy following my progess for this challenge so I will be posting my daily results on a constant basis. My first day of the challenge starts later today so wish me luck! Also I wish all who read this the best of luck on the felt.
