Hey guys,

Been a long time lurker of the forums! I'm currently studying Software Engineering part-time and also working part-time for a Software Consulting firm. I got offered a full-time job while still in school but I told the employer I didn't want to drop out of school yet. So I'm finishing my degree part-time.

POKER!!

Started playing poker about 3 years ago playing home games with my friends (like most of you I'd imagine haha)

Never took poker too seriously but fell in love with the game and started playing semi-seriously. Maybe I'll elaborate more on my journey but here's my graph for the past year or so. But I must admit I'm honestly pretty disappointed with it.



My usual stake is 200NL but I've played up to 1knl on untracked sites but that shot didn't go so well hehe.

I used most of my poker money for travelling; to pay for school; for poker coaching and the rest to kick start a software startup with a few classmates. So I'm left with about 20BI for NL100 to play poker for now. I can always add another 40-50BI if things go badly!

I'll be using 20BI BRM and won't play lower than 100nl unless I'm drunk or hungover AF.

Goals:

1. My goal is to make 50K Pre-rb this year and to get a bunch of broads in the process.

2. Get better at programming. I've been mostly taking a client facing role for the company I work for.

3. Work out and live a Healthy lifestyle

In this sample it's 70% zoom. But nowdays I really enjoy the table dynamics of Regular tables as well as starting tables HU.

        I've always been very self critical in everything I do. I'm still on the fence on if that's a good or bad thing. On one hand I'm never truly satisfied of my accomplishments but on the other it pushes me to get better in all aspects of life. I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this?

        Today was grim. Down about 3BI.

        Some of the grim

        Very low flop cbet in 3 bet pots. Gonna be an overpair so often and with my looser image people can't fold

          Overbet River 3 times vs this guy when he was capped so I don't mind the shove. He looked seem fairly tilted. Pretty interesting spot to try and figure out how to extract the most value

                Got back from Florida last Monday. It was nice to see some of my family and get some much needed sun! Once I got back I was focused with school and studying for midterms. But I managed to put it in 18k hands and know I wish I hadn't. Guess I left the sun with me in Florida huh. Where is the blog starting run good *wine*

                Graph:



                Sick that is was at all NL100... Going out to drink my pain away tonight with a few of the lads!

                Will take a few days off and work on my game. Start playing again next week.

                Best of luck

                Took about a month and a half off to focus on my last finals of my uni career! Hopefully I passed all my classes, definitely want to get the fxxx out of there.

                Started playing last week and caught some sun
