Hello Everyone,


First, I want to start by saying a few things about myself. I'm a regular full-time employee working at home for a BPO company in my homeland Colombia, I used to mix poker to have some extra income, playing mainly cash games between NL10 and NL25 but due to other commitments, I withdrew my entire bankroll and stopped playing.

A couple of days ago, GGPoker gave me C$50 to have fun I guess. Since last year I haven't played a single hand on the platform. But I decided to give it a shot to poker again. Therefore I played some hands on NL5 being like 1 buy-in below. For some reason, I changed my mind and started to play 4 RNC NL2 tables with a good session result. My goal for the day was only to convert the C$ to real USD$ and take the money.

However, I decided to be more ambitious and give it another shot to poker, I'm not bored at my current job but I know that with hard work, deep study of the game, and developing a good mental, I can reach mid and why not, high stakes. I have access to some good material from Spaniards pros and I want to work as hard as I can to go beyond my limits. And to commit to the challenge, for the first time in my life, I will start a blog to keep track of my progress and keep sharpening my English writing skills.

All of this is part of a self-development path that I'm taking, having good habits, working out at the gym, following a nutritional plan with my nutritionist, meditating, and reading finance and self-development books. Focusing mainly on reaching full independence, confidence, and masculinity development.


Probably in later posts, I can tell more things about my lifestyle, but let's go back to poker, The goal is to escalate limits handling a 30 buy-ins bankroll, so once I reach $150+, I will jump to NL5. I don't want to deposit a single penny, so, that's why I want to start conservatively. Depending on my progress I will give shots to higher stakes.

So, here are the principles I will follow in this challenge to the stars

• Only RNC tables starting, later I will evaluate the option to play regular tables.
• 6 Max only
• 30 Buy in Bankroll to go up (or down) on limits
• Study hard MF!!
• Enjoy the process and not be result-oriented.
• Put a decent volume, not less than 20k hands per month.
• Reach $5K bankroll Goal within a year time, everything counts, rakeback, bad beat jackpot, promos, etc, some luck in a donkament, etc.

Cheers to everyone and good luck at the tables.

Well,

I played a couple of sessions between yesterday and today and... I guess I was running like the Utmost Poker God, I scored like 20 buy-ins in about 4k hands. Feeling great anyway, the stake is easily beatable for anyone with a decent poker understanding and knowledge. I think that if I boost the br above +$120, I will start playing NL5 RNC.


Here is the graph and the br screenshot.

GL Everyone.

Graph Month to date.

A few days since my last post and things happened.

I feel I and playing the same style, however (and despite) the red line holds above zero, green one os not making any progress. I have and aggressive style postflop but I think I am overbluffing turn and river on some spots. On the other hand, I think this should be extremely normal on higher stakes to be break even on a 7k sample, but I resist to believe this should be normal on NL2 RnC hahahah.

Only think I can do is to keep studying and grinding. Let's see what the future brings!

Long time no see...


Well, I haven't played as much as I wished because of job commitments and other stuff, but I tried to put in some extra volume. I fell short of the 30k hands goal, however, I felt comfortable playing the last few days.

Because of some issues with the GG account, I withdrew all the bankroll, but I hope to return as soon as I can and finally test the 5NL RnC waters.


The final bank before withdrawing was $121.83, here is the graph for August.


Cheers.
