SEPTEMBER UPDATE

Quote:
Goals for next month :
- Study 2 days, play 3rd day
- Attend all mammoth seminars
- Follow gym plan (6 trainings/week + rest day)
- Study to play ratio was not reached. I studied way more than I played.
- I stopped attending mammoth seminars
- I did crush all gym goals

Tournaments played without GG : 76
With GG combined: 150-250 No idea since GG stopped tracking on sharkscope
Profit/loss with GG: +3100


Graph :


This month was somewhat special. I rented the server for the first time. That means higher CPU power for solving in HRC and PIO. This is the reason why I spent way more time studying than playing. First 12 days I was just playing with all the hypothetical scenarios in bounty tournaments. When to limp when not to limp etc..


Regarding Gym:

We constructed an exact meal plan of 2.200-2300 calories so I strictly ate according to that plan and results are showing up fast.

Weight: 72.4kg

I also bought a Garmin Phenix 7 + belt for my chest.



So now my trainer has more info and can build training and calorie intakes based on that + Cardio is a total dealbreaker. We started to do cardio based on BPM ZONES and not anymore on fixed speeds.

Gym progress pictures :








Regarding attendance of Mammoth seminars :

Seminars are mostly focused on CHIP EV environments. 30% of the seminars are focused on ICM but on NON-PKO tournaments. That just doesn't align with my schedule which is composed of 95% of PKO tournaments and I mostly focus on late stages.

Atm there is still WCOOP break and I have a subscription for 1 more month. I plan to attend all PKO content they will have in the following month.


Goals for next month:
- Play 3 days a week fixed, Study 3-4 days (depends on how well rested I am and how long are the sessions)
- Attend GYM plan 100%

OCTOBER UPDATE

Goals for next month:
- Play 3 days a week fixed, Study 3-4 days (depends on how well rested I am and how long are the sessions)
- Attend GYM plan 100%
-Miserably failed to play 3 days a week
-Study/simming was not effective, but a lot of things discovered in the process
-Gym plan executed to the degree.

Profit/loss with GG: +2263$
+1.2k$ which is not shown on sharkscope for chopped PKO HU

Total: 3463$





First 8-12 days I had some virus infection. I realized how important would it be to have private doctor, to just call and get immediate appointment without waiting lines. I spend 5-7 days too much time waiting and struggling to call for help. The pain in stomach was so obnoxious that I was indifferent many evenings If I call 112 or not.


Now everything is fine. I'm back in gym and healthy as before.


Volume:


This was never my leak in past years of my career. Last 3 months I don't put volume compared to my goal requirements.
Potential reasons:
- Enough money to survive without worry
- Not operating in "right" way ?
- Having too many events outside poker

Solutions:
- Invest money in sth that I become "BROKE" again
- Figure out how to operate in right way --> The hardest part
- Lower the events outside poker


Invest money in sth that I become "BROKE" ;
- I'm gonna invest it in Server for simming in HRC. If AI develops in next 3-12months in a way that I don't need it , I would lose in worse case scenario 10k€ + gained knowledge which is impossible to find atm.
- I need to start thinking bigger. Watched recently Undercover Billionaire with Grand Cardone and he just blew up my mind. CONTACTS = CONTRACTS. If my goal is to make 140k in next 12 months--> Is there a way to make 1.4mio in next year ? With this simple 10X question my brain started to think in different ways. When I don't ask my that question my potential is capped.

And thoughts which appear are:
- What model in poker I need to have to accumulate that EV ?
- Is it possible even ?
- Do I need to put money in sth else which can generate that ?
- Do I need to find people with that money which will invest it for me ?
- How do I find this people ?
- I for sure need knowledge about Real estate, how to buy it ? How to put deposit as down payment etc etc..

As you see this questions only come if we ask ourselves right and think bigger. I'm not saying I will make 1.4mio next year, I just opened my brain up.

To make 1.4mio it will be hard alone and in poker as singularity. I need to make that calculation. As far as I know the best are making 40-60k/month which is not getting me in that range. The only way to make that kind of money is to connect with people with money to invest it for me. How to do that atm I don't know. Will think about it next few days.

I'm just thinking out loud and writing it down.


Figure out how to operate in right way:

Depends what my goal is. For 140k/year I need to play 3 days per week with ROI of 35% for 11 months. To have that 35% ROI I need to be mentally, physically and knowledge wise on top.

Mentally: 240$/month Therapist 1/week
Physically : 5-6/week Gym
Knowledge: 3 days per week educating myself with use of server and solving things which gain me extra ROI

Lower the events outside poker:

I have 1 day per week for this events and 1 full month of vacations during 12 month period. I should keep track of time dedicated for that and do checkups that I don't float away from plan.


GYM UPDATE 17.10.2023

71.6 kg









Goals for next month:
- Play 3 days a week
- Attend GYM plan 100%
- Write down how many days off are avalible ( 1 day per week + 1month for vacations)

I already know that it will be impossible to hold 3 days a week play time because I'm moving into bigger appartment.

I already know that it will be impossible to hold 3 days a week play time because I'm moving into bigger apartment.
- Ofc didn't play 3 days as week
- Did attend GYM plan 100%


First 10 days I was moving into new apartment. Buying new stuff, building it together and cleaning old apartment to hopefully get some of the security deposit back.

Then I played first two weeks according to schedule and last week brainstormed into some interesting ideas.


Profit/loss: -735€




Gym update:






Weight: 71.3kg


I started playing tennis during this month. Very interesting sport and I really like it. It just gets very expensive fast.


My Brainstorming and future plans :



I was thinking about starting to stream again. And the reason I quit last time was because it was very hard to sustain model where u split focus on content creation and playing poker at highest levels. Therefore I choose poker and left streaming.


Now I discovered missing puzzle which could solve that problem and creating new streaming model for poker players. Most of the content creators play "free" game-play where us poker players spend money on game-play. That could change with selling 90% action on GG and ACR. Then I could focus on content creation.


Why now change back to streaming and content creation ?

I think content creation/streaming would create a bigger value to society and therefore be more monetarily rewarding compared to only playing poker long term. My goal is to still play the game-play(poker) as good as I can in order to create good content.


How all this would look like in practice:
I would sell 90% of my action for 1.1-1.3 markup(depends on the tournament) to create "free game play". I will play max 7 tables, only PKO and I would write that this investment would be slightly losing or break-even.

In exchange buyer would:
- Have his investment streamed
- Hear my thought process and all strategy regarding pko's --> learn
- Support me as a content creator to improve my streams and quality of play


At the end my intention is to inform buyers that they are buying into streamer and not only in a piece of the tournament. My goal is to play as best as I can that I can run this model long term and develop coaching business and HRC PKO solving services.


I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding this ideas.


Goals for next month:

I have live trip to Bregenz in first half of December to play 500$ and 1k$ PKO and then Birthday organization & celebration. I expect to be back on normal grind after 16th December.

- Play 8 session
- Follow Gym plan

streaming with viewer staking is great idea but people will prefer less markup. most viewers never spend a dime on twitch and minority viewers spend 5-25 dollars a month for subs/donos on a single stream. If you want a viewer to put in hundreds of dollars a month in staking you gotta give him more than just entertainement, its gotta be a profitable opportunity more than other staking

I mean he is offering strategy that beats those tournaments, that has value to it even if u dont consider whether u think its worth it or not you are missing something important. Its clearly not intended to only be entertainment that the viewer gets.

where did you get that information from? People used to buy from Scammitzu 2.0 MU for High stakes MTT, ppl buy shares from Weazel although he is losing on every single site and cant even beat nl50.

So i am pretty sure they will buy also from Ata. If i stream i would also offer shares for what i think is my real winrate. I think it is a good deal for viewers (they have entertainment,excitement etc ) and also for ATA (since he can lower variance and have a stable income).

Canīt wait to see you back <3 The best streamer on twitch

I moved this thread to this one : https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...lanet-1829726/


After spending way too much thinking and overthinking and not doing anything productive beside playing tennis and going to gym I decided:

If my original thought was to stream because of the "selling action concept" I should never stream in the first place. I had the opportunity to become one of the biggest streamers and I chose poker over it. I started streaming because I wanted to show my students that it is possible to beat micro stakes and build it up from scratch. I never streamed because I wanted to be a content creator or big streamer in the first place.


If that ever changes I will return back to streaming waters but till then I will put focus on what originally made me somewhat successful.

Thanks guys for following and input <3
