Hi, I am Michael I am 38 years old. I have joined the PLO 6 max Baller, coaching for profits at BPC.

My Situation:
The first time I played poker was over 20 years ago and we all played 5 card draw. (I bet some of you reading this aren't even 20 yet ). Started out playing with friends at my local Pool hall. Pool had been a big part of my life prior to poker. I never really got into poker back then as I loved playing pool so much. Cut a long story short 10 years ago I too caught the poker bug and things went from there. Started with MTT's and Sng's and transitioned over to cash games. Never really played a lot, more of a recreational player back then. Made a little money over the years but never really anything substantial.

My Poker Story:
I consider myself a semi-pro now, the last few years been playing a lot more with moderate success. I made the jump to exclusively play PLO in 2014, I love PLO it is so much more fun to play compared to NL. Over the last few years I logged around 400k hands a year at PLO.
I am a winner at plo20 and below but break-even/lose at plo50 and above. I have tried to move up and have played as high as plo100. Withdrawing money and life expenses etc yadayada I have not been able to break through to mid-stakes and beyond yet. Why sign up to BPC I hear you ask, well let me tell you; I am not getting to that next level, been kind of struggling to get there by myself, this is the next logical step to take in my opinion. I am getting older and I feel this will speed things up and give me new skills that I have been lacking.

Why I want to join CFP:
-World class coaching!
-Nothing to lose, everything to gain!
-Great people, great poker minds!
-Become successful at poker
-Make lots of money
-Get a lot lot better at poker

I am committed to this program. I feel with the right guidance and coaching I can still make my poker dreams come true. I have slacked about for too long, now is the time to get serious and that's why I joined BPC coaching for profits.
Also I think very highly of Gordon, I feel he has a lot to offer that will benefit me as a player.
I get to work with KasinoKrime which is just awesome, another individual who can offer me a lot of value. I am sure he'll be able to get my game to where I want it to be.
How can I not join, I'd be crazy not to join! So much +EV I just cannot pass up on this opportunity.

My short term goals for poker:
-I want to make 60K in my 1st year and reach the mid-stakes. If I can get to PLO 200-400 I'll be very very happy.
-Have a 10k month within 1 year.
-At least a 5bb/100 winner at all stakes.

My long term goals:
-Crush high stakes poker: I really want to play nosebleeds. Transitioning to live would be my next goal, taking on anyone and everyone that dares to play me! Bring it Phil, Patrick, Tom I really can't wait!
-Win a bracelet. I have already made it out to Vegas once and played my very first NL tournament, the Monster Stack. Great experience.
-Make a million.

I will be documenting all of this. I will make weekly videos on youtube talking about my progress and how the last week has gone etc. Check out my Youtube channel below. I will also be blogging about my experience, really can't wait, things just got serious! Stay tuned.

Signing out.
Plo noob soon to be Plo Baller!!!!

My Blog over at BPC: http://www.bestpokercoaching.com/top...60k-in-1-year/

Just a quick update, received contract last night and everything seems fine. I am going to sign it and send it back today, once I get my printer working Windows 8 is such a pain, I’m updating to 10 and see if that helps. Then it’s time to crush skulls, hopefully! I will take this opportunity to wish everyone on this journey good luck and let’s all have a great year! Good luck at the tables everyone! (Unless you’re on my tables, ofc )

The 10 rules at BPC:

PGC PGC PGC....why are these people spamming 2+2. Don't they have an own forum

where did you find these?

I meant BPC 😓

Wowwww, relax bro. I am not spamming, this is part of the agreement when you sign up to BPC. They make all students document their progress from the start, I guess so other poker players can see that it works.

It is also a good way to motivate myself, keeping my mind on poker and I can write stuff in here which will make me think more about poker. I also plan to post hands and goals etc, hopefully other people can chime in and help when I'm stuck in certain spots. I plan to document everything, ups/downs. People can see just how much work goes into a program like this. That's why I am making a blog/challenge/goal. Good luck at the tables unless you're on mine

You get these 10 rules when you sign up to BPC. They have their own section under Elite Coaching/ Cash game poker coaches.

Time for an update:

I am officially in….Booooom! Date: 15/01/2016 Time : 15:30. Everything from here on out is 50/50 profit split. Let’s make it happen.

Was going to set goals and stuff today, but I’ll wait till Monday that way I have a proper work-week schedule Mon-Sun.

For now though (this weekend) will just get used to new software (PT4) and wait on BPC for coaching schedule.

Okey, just played my first session officially part of BPC. I really want to post my graph haha. I think I played decent, considering I went down 2 BI’s very quickly, I still managed to turn things round and book a solid win. Looking forward to the coaching session with the one and only KasinoKrime. Am I dreaming right now wtf! Never would of thought I’d be getting coaching from KasinoKrime .

Check out my graph Session 1:[IMG][/IMG]

2nd Session:

These fish have no idea, just how lucky they are. God I’m so pissed right now!!!!Just stick it in with anything and win. Call on paired boards to hit a flush. Chase the world with no odds to hit OTR. To top it off fishcake hits the nuts while I have 2nd nuts and blockers to the nuts, it still isn’t good enough. Curse the Poker Gods, be damned to hell, you do not deserve to be a God.

Sometimes everything just goes against you and there’s nothing you can do to stop it from happening. Or is there? Perhaps, I just quit my session, something I usually don’t do. I don’t even have a stop-loss in place but I feel mentally awake, awakened by my new coach and mentor. I took the red pill and Morpheus aka Gordon is going to show me just how deep the fish hole is.

My old me would definitely have gone on and tried to win back those losses. Perhaps instead of losing 3 buyins i’d go on a lose 15 like so many times in the past. I think I’m getting the hang of it, I have just learned something new. Don’t chase your losses and learn to fight another day.

I know for a fact that I was about to ****ing tilt my money away. By now I know that feeling, we should all know that feeling just before tilt happens. It usually goes something like this: 2 to 3 fishcakes draws out on me at different tables. They seems to be running over the table with 85/45/25 stats, hitting everything under the ****ing sun. Things progressively get worse, all my draws brick and that feeling just starts creeping up on me.

Boooooom!!!! I’m officially on ****ing tilt! So now I’m cold 4betting 3458 ss, and obv repping the AAxx hand on AQT. Obviously you get called and dust yet another stack off. No problem you think, I’ll just carry on in this fashion because well if the fishcakes can do it then so can I. 15 Buy Ins later you wonder if the site is conspiring against you, lol.

You obviously develop short term memory loss and simply forget how bad you just played that last hour. All because you wanted to chase those 3 ****ing BI’s. New and improved me, just quit. Shame on me for not realising it sooner. Money NOT lost is actually money WON.

Disgusting graph :

Session 3:

Got coaching for the very first time and it’s quite an interesting dynamic. Unfortunately it’s group coaching and not individual. Let see how this progresses. At the moment it is more like watching videos at a training site but hopefully it will be different in the future. Maybe I’m being pessimistic but I am not sure how it will improve my game, watching countless videos online hasn’t exactly done me any good either in the past, well perhaps from picking up the basics. It’s very early days though, KasinoKrime is a PLO genius, so I shouldn’t worry too much. I should just listen, leave it in the hands of the coach. I have a lot to learn about PLO. For Christ sake I am not even sure I calculate pot odds correct, I have always just done it on feeling and a rough estimate.

I think my problems have more to do with mindset anyways. Mindset, focus, dedication, motivation and tilt. Of course it helps if one knows how to play the game but that’s not why so many people fail at poker, me included. So that will be a big part of my daily ritual. If one can play tilt free that’s half the battle won. Perhaps even more than half, I mean you can never play your A-game when tilting and you definitely can’t win when you are on tilt.

You can however play your b/c game and NOT tilt and still win. Catch my drift. All about the mindset.

After coaching I logged a few hands and to my surprise I end up in the green for the day. Managed to win 5 Bi’s which is a great result considering my last session.

Graph from the whole day (3 sessions):

Quick update last 2 days played

Since I started I am up: 171 Eur.

Played = 11 hours

Hands = 3400

plo 20 = 138 Eur

RB = 33 Eur

Goals for this week:

Play = 30 hours

Study = 10 hours

Hands = 10k

Post hands: min 3 a day

Equilab Training : 10 a day

Morning all,

Have just finished week one and all things considered I think it went really well. I have done more studying this week than probably all of last year combined, I have done a lot more work off the tables and so I actually expected things to go a lot worse, poker wise. I’m happy that I was able to maintain a high level of concentration throughout the week. It definitely showed in my results too, winning at 18bbEV/100 over 7300 hands. Of course this is still a very small sample and it could just be good variance but hopefully I will prove it’s not as I continue to rack up hands.

I had set goals for the week and didn’t achieve any of them but as the saying goes “shoot for the moon and if you miss you are still among the stars”. I feel it’s the same with goals. I set goals for hours played, study, post/reply to hands and update blog. So how did I do, lets break it down below:

Hours played: Goal 30. I played: 20 hours

Hands played: Goal 10k. I played 7300 hands

Study and mental game: Goal 10 hours. I put in 5 hours

Blog, hands and equilab: Goal 10 hours. I put in 7 hours. Actually I don’t need more than 7 hours per week.

Not bad but not even close to where I want to be. My goals are not even set that high, so I definitely need to improve in this area. Once I feel comfortable with these goals I plan to set even higher goals.

My goals for this week are as follows:

Play: 30 hours

Hands: 10k

Study: 7 hours

Training Vids: 3 hours

Blog, hands, equilab: 7 hours

Total: 47 hours.

My graph week 1:

Afternoon folks,

Week 2 has passed by and wow what a terrible week. Lost 24 Bi’s in one week. My EV wasn’t much better either at 17.5 Bi’s. I hit no less than 4 stop-losses during this 7 day period, not cool. I am not sure if I am playing bad or just getting variance whipped. I’ll be able to get a better idea in the coming weeks, I could have massive leaks in my game that need to be addressed. Leaks I can’t see by myself. I have given my hands to KasinoKrime hopefully he’ll be able to see if I am indeed leaking money.

I learned some new stuff from PLO QuickPro and from the master Phil Galfond. I love watching his vids, his thought process is very unique.

So how my goals go for the week?

Played : 24 hours

Hands : 8500

Study : 7 hours

Blog etc : 3 hours

Hitting stoplosses early on in my sessions prevented me from hitting my hourly and hands goals.

Going for more of the same for the coming week.

Lastly my dreaded graph:
