I have been playing online poker for about 2 years on and off. I decided I really want to make a run at it and see what I can do. My final goal is to be pro, by that I mean I want to pay my bills by playing poker.
Why?
-I feel like I have a great opportunity to take a chance. I am 20, single have money saved up. I have no kids, no bills (except the basics, phone, insurance ect.) I am in a situation were i am living rent free for hopefully till the end of the summer. I want to use this time to get a good roll started for NL200.
How?
-I have no job (quit to make a run at poker
), I basically have 16 hours a day to play. I plan to log at least 60hours a week. I have choose PokerStars to play on, for the VIP program and I an currently 1400 VPP's from platinum star.
My plan..
-I wrote up a lose 37 week plan to make 40k (I did this before I read about the guy on the prop bet to make 40k in 365 days lol, very cool though) This plan is my dream plan. It has limits, and a weekly goal. I have also wrote up 8 week plans that are more reasonable to achieve.
Progress so far...
-I started with $200 and 16-20 tabled NL10. I had also started to clear the $285 bonus for GoldStars. Below is my graph after the first week. My 37 week goal for week 1 was $300, and i made that. My 8 week goal was $225 and i obviously made that.
I am having issues getting use to NL25 as people are playing back against my 3bets, and floating my c-bets. (ya ya i know welcome to poker right? lol) I got beat up cause i didn't adjust then made a come back as you can see the variance at the end of the graph.
Ask me any questions and wish me luck 2p2.
Currently I have $750 and want to get to $1500-2000 before I start NL50.
Any tips for NL25?
