I'm one of those guys thats trying every way to earn money just to avoid working a regular job. I don't hate working, in contrary, I'm working twice as hard and long right now as I would working a regular 9 to 5. But I just don't like the idea of having a capped salary, or at least not having a reasonable chance to really print money.

I'm in my mid twenties right now and been into poker for 9 years now. It was a nice side income while attending uni and later while working parttime.

Long story short: I have a uni degree and I worked a regular job for a while. My contract ended and I figured that was the perfect time to try to play poker fulltime for a couple of months and see how it goes. The last couple of months I've been investing my time into studying alot and playing fulltime since mid december, mainly MTT's. I play on a couple of different sites, but the vast majority of my volume is on Pokerstars. With an average bi of ~$22 I'm buying in directly into mtt's up to $44, and play satties to higher bi's every now and then.

Here's my graph since mid December.


I don't consider myself as a top player, I probably have a ton of leaks, but I do feel like I have a big enough edge to beat my average buyin.

I've made this thread to post my progress in pokerwise, but also random thoughts I have. I'm probably gonna post more about myself and the goals I persue, but for now I'll leave this OP as it is. The first thing I'm probably gonna do is make some sort of schedule of when to play, when to take time off and when to study. Because now I'm really playing and studying unstructured.

Thanks for reading, will keep you updated!

Followed, good luck at the tables!

Hey man, subbed!!

Graph seems solid. If u dont mind me asking from what games, field-wise, is this graph taken? 180man? 300+? 1000+?

Just curious cauz of ur abi.

I ll be following this thread as we have some common thoughts regarding day-work and my play-format is also mtts.

Best of luck! Peace!

Thanks!

Thanks man. I don't play 180 mans, I pretty much only play scheduled mtt's which usually attract 300 to 1k runners in general. Ofcourse some tournaments are more popular then others and will attract a lot more runners, like the 16.50 bounty builder or reds/hots/blue's on sundays.

Some time after making this thread I made a run in the hot 16.50 and came 2nd for roughly 1.5k Couldn't close it, shipped A6o < 99 20bb deep against his open.



Also was close to a solid bink this sunday, became 13th in the hotter 55 busting 88 < AK aipf, with 15k up top. Had to settle with $500

I'll maybe fire up some tournaments in a couple of hours, if not I will tomorrow morning.
