I wanted to create this thread with the purpose of helping me track my play beyond simply an excel spreadsheet. I make the majority of my income via poker, mainly at Arizona's Talking Stick Resort. I play mostly 2/3 and dip into the 3/5 when certain fish are playing for higher stakes. Not to sound like a cocky a**hole but I destroy the 2/3 games there. I feel as if I got to a point where I can play full time for a calendar year without losing my main focus, I believe I can profit an absurd amount in the range of ($75,000-$100,000) I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous, but the majority of players in AZ at this limit are abysmal.

Background:
- 25 yrs old, ASU Grad, Future Career in Sports Radio or Media Relations.
- $150k in Live MTT Earnings (Hendon Mob not 100% accurate)
- RunGood86 is my online username on Merge

A close buddy of mine and I were debating whether it was possible to accomplish such a feat, and I feel motivated to prove someone can win a big amount from ONLY 2/3 NLHE (1/2, 1/3 also included).

I also like to play the WSOP Circuit, and look forward to the AZ State Poker Championship in a month. I will reflect on my tournament results as well, but those results will not factor into my cash game goal.

I have roughly a 10k roll at the moment, coming off a nice 30k score at the Planet Hollywood 100K GTD during the WSOP. I was in 10k of debt when I won the MTT, so I have new life again. I have never gone broke playing poker since I turned 22. Only from doing degenerate sh*t have I lost big rolls before. I'm going to quit my Part-Time job that has nothing to do with my future career in the upcoming month or 2 so I can take this thread as a serious challenge and obligation to myself to play solely poker for a year. Getting rid of my job will allow me to put in the hours and time necessary to give me a chance at reaching my goals for the next 365 days. Once I quit my job, I will begin the challenge and keep track of my profit on here.

What would you estimate to be your hourly rate at just 2/3?

What is your hourly goal at 2/3 over the next year?

By playing a full year I'll get an accurate idea of my hourly. I don't have a large enough sample of tracked data to figure out where I need to be to reach this goal. I basically go to the cash tables at Talking Stick Casino, try to win a full buy-in or 2 from opposing players, and consider my session a success. There's so much dead money in these games as you know.

I thought they didnt have NLH in AZ? hmmm, maybe I should start suffering through some live play (this is a perfect example of why you shouldnt try and swing your dick about how much its possible to make, Im gunna cut into your pofits )

It's a spread limit. Max bet / raise of $300 per action in 2/3 and $500 for 3/5. It plays like a NL and very seldom does a cap bet mess up the way a hand is played out.

how deep are most people?

You should check out wild horses on the weekend

Session #1 of Challenge (7/15)

Lots of promotions tonight so had 9 tbls of (2/3) to choose from. Right off bat got seated at the 1 tbl I wanted to be at most. I had a pretty easy time collecting chips.

+$649 in 3.67 hrs played.

Nearly everyone buys in for $300, and later in the evenings most tbls have 3-5 stacks of $500+.

Games are very soft at 2/3 at TS but the $6 rake with jp I don't see you being able to make 100k unless you put some sick hours in. I've noticed the stacks are usually less than 300 though.

good luck from another fellow Arizonian........ will be following.

so where is the updates at?

confirmed busto

QFT. Maybe the wisest post in PG&C history.
