Hi all,

Let's just quickly give you some information about my situation. Ever since I first encountered poker I have been in love with the game. So much so that I build a roll in all my off hours and in the weekends which gave me enough confindence to quit my job and give it a go full time. Quit the job mid June and started grinding online cash on GGpoker.

I felt like, since I was living in a very expensive country, moving to the other side of the world where there is a lower cost of living was my best move. And so I did. I had just met a girl I fell heavily in love with and asked her to come along. So here I am, on an island, grinding cash all day everyday and trying to improve.

Just to get the confindence up, I started grinding 10 nl, which I crushed at 12BB/100 over 30.000 hands. the 75.000 hands before had me winning 9BB/100.
I just have this mental something going on that everytime I try 25NL I bust the roll. Have busted two 1000 dollar rolls in this pool in the past, mostly due to the always wonderful monkeytilt.

So the reason I am posting this here is twofold. I have a subscription to GTOwizard and try to improve there, it sometimes just feels overwhelming and I think it would greatly benefit me to have some sparring partners/ studymates/ Co-enthousiast. So if you feel like you are somewhere similar or maybe even further and want to get in touch, I would love to.

The second reason is to post results here and have some accountability both Bankroll wise and Monkeytilt wise. I very much know that short term should absolutely not effect my mental state but it still does, so here we are.

This journey is VERY awesome and I love it, it would just be very nice to get rid of the " Lone Wolf" feeling and find some kind of tribe.
Oh by the way I am 29 years old and from the Netherlands originally. Lets connect and I hope you will like following my journey.

Oh yeah I have saved up money in order to do this so not really dependant on making money already so I want to grind it up from the micro's.


Roll: EUR: 635
Goal: LINUS!

Hope to hear from you!

First session is done. It' s friday so I did 1000 hands on rush and cash. Insane session. Watched a video of Yolan Cohen before playing and decided to be ultra agressive versus capped ranges. As in 4x overbet shoving multiple times and they ALL got trough. Got called in instances where I had nutted hands.

Ran KK into AA twice and lost both of them. Had a guy spew 200BB into me with just top pair. Writing about all this motivates me even more to become really good.
