Hi all,

I am doing a pretty basic blog here where my goal is to have an hourly win rate of $50 or more from live poker (2/5). I have an engineering career where the pay is not bad and I find it fulfilling so IÂ’m not looking to quit for poker.

I live in British Columbia, Canada, and IÂ’m in my mid mid twenties. Currently living with my parents :/.

IÂ’ve always loved this game, although IÂ’m not particularly good. I find that my biggest strength is to be disciplined and be able to play tightly for long periods of time. IÂ’m kind of going to be relying on this to beat 2/5. Table selection isnÂ’t much of an option for 2/5 for me as thereÂ’s only like two tables at a time. IÂ’m going to be playing like 6 to 7 hours a week live on average for now, which would add over 10 grand a year to my net income as itÂ’s cash and untaxed. I would play more but I work a decent amount of hours at my career so I think I should keep a reasonable balanced schedule where I can still exercise and get sleep etc.

For training, I will be playing online cash (mainly FR) on stars as well as watching videos of online cash play and explains, maybe a bit of GtO content but nothing too crazy. IÂ’m currently a winner at 10NL and partly moving up to 16NL. I only play online so I can improve, all of my actual money will be from live, thereÂ’s just no comparison for me imo.

I will be posting my results here and maybe online hands and live hands, asking for peoples thoughts (if they give a **** that is ahah). ItÂ’s mainly for myself but if people find it remotely interesting or helpful/motivating then thatÂ’s really great!! IÂ’ve actually played for 45 hours so far of live with a current WR of $70/hr (meaninglessly small and I think inflated I know) so I will post a bit of that backlog.

Thanks guys

Jesus Christ the apostrophes did nooot transfer well ffs

I don't think I can edit the first post, it looks ****ed because of some weird iphone apostrophe glitch. As I think the first introductory post to a blog is the most important, I'm going to create another thread and abandon this one lol
