hey, i figured i'd try one of these!
my name is jerome, i'm a 23 years old from canada. i dropped out of college in 2011 for poker, was awful at it and barely made anything (yep, not the most calculated dropout). went back in 2012, finished college while starting to beat 10nl and 25nl. went from 10nl to 200nl shots in 2013. went back to 100nl in 2014 (didnt like the skill gap between 100 and 200), i dropped out of uni that year as well. i made about 85k in 2013 and 2014, played sick volume + okay winrates. last year also went well, played some 200nl.
i was living in a grind house 2014-2015, but it became more of a distraction house. i'm now living in an apartment with my girlfriend, it's very nice and i'm looking forward for a big 2016. with stars change to rakeback, i decided to try other sites. the plan for now is to grind 200k vpps on stars, playing 200nl+, and other poker sites the days i'm not playing stars. this means 2000 vpps days, 10 days/month. maybe more if my main stakes becomes higher than 200nl. january is going okay, made some money on another site, breaking even at another one. had to play some 100nl on stars because my roll is split all over the place (i have money invested i can't touch). if you know my screen names, don't out me plz.
i like tv shows, video games, hanging out with friends, working out and sports. and my girlfriend
we have a great long term relationship. i'm watching narcos and HTGAWM at the moment, two great shows. in 2015 ive mainly play HS, rocket league and pillars of eternity, >awesome< games. from now on i shouldn't be gaming much, i have a strict schedule that includes poker, studying poker, gym, cardio, reading, snowboard, soccer and occasionally watching tv shows. altho that wont be true for a while, because i have like 10 friends with rocket league so it is too much fun to stop.. also it's the best game ever. btw english is not my first language so sorry for awful phrasing sometimes.
here is my graph for 2015 and my setup. i was travelling through south and central america for the last quarter of the year, and this graph is missing almost all of october, which sucks because it was a huge month. it also misses bunch of hands from laptop. i have pretty nice winrates from march to december.
gyazo is not working or idk, but i get this while watching preview post:
i won't post graphs regularly because i don't watch results regularly, but i will sometimes. i will also post hands. today was very fun, i played between 10 and 18 tables all session long, 1 or 2 table was 200z. rest was 200nl reg tables FR or 6max.. couple of HU or 3 handed tables. i dont refuse action HU or 3 handed much and i play reg line-ups.. it's good practice. i reached 2000 vpps very quick so i will probably diminished the number of tables in the future. don't out me btw.
you'r right buddy nobody raises flushdraws on flop anymore
