Part 2: The Road to Pro
Ever since I started meditating 15+ minutes daily pre session, I’ve been in a pretty good place as others have noted, and itching to do some more damage.
A pop off March certainly helps though!
Here are some of my favorite posts itt to date… enjoy!
21!

Edited down a bit

I picked it up quickly
I think this post is an important one, as I think it contains most of what I need to bear in mind in order to achieve my goals from the previous post. I hope I take my own advice to heart
And thanks again guys

It took a looooong time bc some of these guys have more than one, and Bena and Aeseh just looooove to type . Also, most of them have thousands of posts- but anyways, I learned a lot.
Biggest lesson I took away was to try to not take any money out of my roll and reinvest the money that I do take out back into poker.
Another was to not risk more than 10% of my roll in any single day.
Another was to stay clean.
Also, I need to become a crusher before moving up to midstakes online xD. It’s not a bankroll thing in that environment, unlike live. It’ll be a very long time probably to get there wrt skill level. Even on the apps- the avg 2/4 online+ 6m game is a tougher environment than both 99% live and online games.
have to be patient
let me know if there is any way I can reciprocate friends

completely meaningless, but nice to pop off in a week like this considering the following picture was just for one of the three accounts was playing on.

Can promise this one’s the furthest thing from brag. I think putting thousands consistently away like this is a habit that will consistently pay dividendsss well into the future.
Setting a good example means a lot to me, and while I may not always succeed- I do try.
Very tempting to play super high or be a baller, but it’s much easier to blow EV than it is to grind it. So happy with this one more than anything.
More than anything though, just incredibly grateful to be in a position where something like that is even possible and don’t want to blow this
