hi,

ive been playing poker online for a few months now. Ive never taken it seriously as a grind. i used to deposit 50$ or 100$ and play without any BRM.

Now im seriously considering taking poker seriously. Harley Davidson opened a showroom very close to my house and i wanna buy 1 buy the year end. Ive been saving up since 2 months so that i can have a decent bankroll to start with.

Ive managed to save 600$ so that i can take full advantage of the bonus on full tilt poker as i used to play on stars.

ill be starting at 10nl and will move up to 25nl once i hit 900$.

ill be depositing tomorrow and start grinding 6 max tables.


I hope this thread keeps me motivated and i hope i run good so that i can buy a Harley!!!!

Any tips would be really appreciated.

Also any training videos i should watch???

ok so i deposited yesterday and started my grind. i have some serious tilt issues which i need to work on.

started playing a couple of nl10 6max and lost a buy in.. got tilted and went to 50nl heads up. won 80$ over a period of an hour and half, then i started playing rush poker 25nl and lost 50 $. didnt know any strategy about rush poker. got tilted again and started playing 11$ husng's. shipped 2 out of 2 and i was up 40$ again. started 4 tables of nl10 6max and promised myself i wont go on tilt and grinded for a good 3 hours. I ended 3 buyins up at profit was 70$. slept for an hour and then again i started playing 25nl rush. lost 100$, got tilted and went on 50plo heads up. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED OMAHA WITH REAL MONEY. got lucky and won 100$. felt good and promised myself i wont do anything stupid. overall profit for the day - 15$ excluding a 20$ bonus i unlocked.

I hope this thread helps me control my tilt.
