Hello!
I am a very boring person, so introduction would be tl;dr. Instead, I'll write cliff's and define my current targets in more detail.
• Age 30ish
• Played MTT's full-time 5yrs ago
• Cashed over 6-figs, 5-fig profits
• Drank & gambled most of my br (more than once..)
• Spewwy + degen in all aspects of life
Now:
All good, have a family and a full-time job. The thing is, I never felt comfortable working for someone else. I don't know what the future brings, but definitely something related to entrepreneurship and being able to be accountable only for myself (and obviously to my family). At this point you may ask, why I'm here, in a poker forum. Well let's find out.
Poker
I wanted to start this in order to improve my game. In the last 5 years, I think I've played less than 1000 hands all together. That changed week ago, when I decided to give this lovely sport another go. This time, hopefully a bit smarter with BRM and stuff..
I am currently playing NL25 w/ 28 BIN's. Still not completely my comfort zone, but it is what it is. I am planning to move up to NL50 once I reach 30 BIN's for that and then I'd like to have 40 BIN's for NL100.
To be honest, I feel pretty lost at the tables, especially with the standard spots, that feels like they should be no-brainers. I do feel quite confident when it comes to pre & post flop play, hence my 34 / 24 / 12 stats (vpip/pfr/3bet).. I know, even after a long time with no proper knowledge of game theory (or anything else relevant..), those stats could come off a bit maniac. I don't know, maybe some super good / aggressive reg's can be profitable with those?
I certainly won't see myself like that. Yet!
What I want from here:
A place for me to post HH's, graphs, how games are going, how I am developing, etc.etc.
What I want to achieve with poker:
• Win as much money I can
• Invest xx% of profits to stocks (using the "buy and forget" tactic..)
• Put xx% profits aside, in order to have enough savings to get the bank loan for our own apartment
If this whole "let's make my poker great again" goes very well, I don't mind making it a full time job, but maybe that's something to consider once I've actually beat the stakes I am currently aiming at
I am currently up +400 BB's, but only played 1,8k hands. Will post the first graph at 10k hands. Not expecting it to mean anything, but if someone is reading this.. Well.. Graphs are always nice to look at!
Ok, thanks for those who made it this far! Let's go!
