Hi everyone, im 24, i live in Reunion (French island in the Indian ocean), i have been playing sporadically since im 18.
I have ALWAYS degen all my bankrolls by taking stupid shots on higher limit while on tilt.
All these years i kept thinking that i had what it take to become a winning player but in fact i never had the work ethic, i was just dreaming while thinking "if a degen like victor bloom did it i can do it too" lol

So im starting this thread to keep me off doing stupid things, improve my work ethic and focus on long term happiness in poker and in life in general.

Here are my goals :

- Go from NL10 to NL30 until end of this year (6 months)
- Find another job (im currently unemployed since 6 months now when i quit my last ****ty dead end job mostly because the boss was a total prick and also because i though i will find another one quickly lol)
- Go to 74kg with little fat (im currently at 69kg for 1m72)
- Go trekking atleast 1 to 4 times a month
- Read 5 books until end of this year

My rules :

- I will play 20 hours a week (3 hours a day, 0 h on saturday, 5 h on sunday)
- I will post here everyday after my session (the post will be about the day : poker/sport/work/trekking/books etc...)
- I will have a 50 buy-ins rule for each limit
- I will play only cash games (6 tables of 6-max)

Current bankroll is 500€

Let's start this journey!

ps : sorry for the bad english it's not my first language

This is where i was last saturday with a friend, it was a 4 hours walk to get there, it's a pretty nice view

Just finish my first session :

- i was winning 1 bi in the first 2 hours But manage to finish the session a 2bi loser lol

- i played 10 min more than the 3 hours i planned because i wanted to gain back some losses then my brain start working again and i stop there lol But im glad i blocked all games higher than my limit And the tournaments so i could'nt **** it up!

Current bankroll : 478.21€

ps : sorry guys i must admit that i thought about lying because i was ashamed of losing my first session of this journey lol

Now it's 7h30pm im gonna do bodyweight exercices, eat, watch game of thrones and go to bed.

Hi everyone,

Current bankroll : 487.53€

I'am gonna watch some casey neistat videos on youtube, eat junkfood, do bodyweight exercices and then go to bed

ps: i will stop eat junkfood also, starting tomorrow lol

Hi everyone,

- today i played 3 hours and won a little less than 1/2bi

Current bankroll : 491.21€

Also today was my running day but i didn't go because i was to lazy :-/ i basically didn't do nothing but watching videos on youtube and play my session.

Tomorrow i have a job interview, hope everything will go well!

I'am gonna go to sleep and try to be more productive tomorrow!

Hi everyone,

Current bankroll : 479.17€

My job interview was good, they are gonna call me next week, i hope i got the job!
I'am gonna do my bodyweights exercices, eat, watch some Dave Chappelle videos and go to sleep.

Hi everyone,

- sesion done today, i won a little more than 2bi

Current bankroll : 502.56€

Starting in june i will play one tournament a month (if i have the time), that i will start with the session of the day. The buy-in will not exceed 2% of my bankroll.

I didn't do my bodyweights exercices today as i spent my time reading a lot of interesting threads here on 2+2, mostly p.g.c.

Here are the threads if you are interest :

I will do my bodyweight exercices tomorrow because i would not go trekking since there is no one to come with me and for the moment i find the idea of going alone depressing.

I also start reading a philosophy book about happiness (what it is for you, how can you achieve it).

And i am gonna write down in a more details way my path to what i consider happiness. The goal is to structure my everyday schedule in a way that everything i do led me to what i consider happiness.

Good luck on achieving your dreams everybody!

Also here is a pic from where i went trekking last month

Hi everyone,

- sesion done today, i won a little more than 3bi

Current bankroll : 536.50€

Not only did i finish my book on happiness but thank to audio books i already listen to two books! I am not paid to say that (i wish lol) but these audio books are the nuts! And since you know how long a book take to be listen you can adapt your schedule easily!

I said that starting in june i will play one tournament a month and that the buy-in will not exceed 2% of my bankroll but i change that : the b.i. will not be superior to one b.i. of the limit im in, so if i have 600€ i will still play a 10€ tourney maximum (except if i enter a tourney with my fpp on ps).

Also i am gonna start to mix plo in my session with half nlh and half plo, i will play 4 tables for the latest. I think doing that will help me to keep enjoying the game on the long run and prevent me from playing like a robot.

To finish i also fix myself a 2 b.i. stop loss to prevent me from spewing my bankroll away

Hi everyone,

- i couldnt play today i had some internet problems :/

Current bankroll : 536.50€

But the good news is i got took for the job! I think its until august then it will be renewed for a year. I will have same holidays as school and here the holiday start next month so in one month i will be payed to stay at home already

Hi everyone,

- i keep playing when i feel tired yesterday, that result in me playing bad and tilting 3 b.i. away in nlh and i stop there not even playing omaha

Current bankroll : 508.44€

I take a look at bigger omaha games and i saw that there were no table running so i decided to not start playing/learning plo now since i would not be able to play higher anyway.

Also i am gonna play only 4 tables of nlh, i think i will progress faster doing so. And i will play only 2h a day and 4h the sunday, that mean i will play 14h a week for now, but i think its better for my progression and my learning process.

Also i will not play today, i am still a little tilted i think so i am gonna take the day to focus on my plan for the future, work wise.

I will play the tournament on a saturday when i don't go trekking.

Good luck at the tables everyone!
