Hi! I'm a new player from Spain (yes I know ****ty country to play Poker from).
I have decided that to challenge myself to attain a good understanding of the game and develop the skills needed to becoming a winning player.
No desire of going pro, sustain myself through poker or winning a lot of money. Just interest in the game, like I have had in chess for most of my life.
These are my goals:
- Become a micro cash games winning player
- Build a bankroll to progress to the upper microstakes limits, eventually low stakes.
- Learn to play sit&go tourneys with good results (again at lowest stakes). This is for the future as I don't want to spread thin.
I've set a monthly budget of 20€ on poker that I will spend either playing or getting study material.
My training plan consists mainly on reading books, watching videos, reviewing hands, playing and now I'm including being active on this forum.
Results for my first ~3k hands are shown in the graph below. I'm playing NL2 FR and also had some ZOOM.
What is cool about my country, appart from the segregated playerbase, is that these 3k hands mean already 40€ rake with no rakeback deal and very bad bonus programs. Hurray Spain!
I'll be posting insights about my education, hands and progress reports here in hope of getting some feedback & support. Wish me strength!
