Alright… where do I begin…
I decided to make this PGC thread because I just have so much going on in my head I just want to get all my poker thoughts out and put them down somewhere. A lot of it is going to be complete jibberish, but keeping this update actually motivates me to accomplish all my poker goals in a weird way.
I guess you could say I kind of half ass things. Ive become comfortable with being mediocre. Its a terrible habit that I have and its time to fix this. Im going to use this PGC to document how I took my pokerstars bankroll from 3k to 10k with hard work, dedication, and a ton of discipline.
Ive played poker for a while now. Probably around 5 years. You would think that if someone is playing poker seriously then they must be really good by now. You are right to think this but for me this is not the case. I am just an average nit with good tables selction. I am a long term winner, but lately Ive realized that my winrate is slowly decreasing and that I have a ton of leaks in my game.
When I first started winning at poker I was in college. Instead of getting a part time job I just grinded my ass off. Playing a ton of volume at 10nl - 25nl, 16+ tabling across a few sites. I had a nice rakeback deal then so I was doing quite well with that. Even though I was playing a ton, I was doing very little work on my game off the tables. I needed money to go out and party with friends and whatever else I needed so getting in volume was so important. I developed a very tight game and had very good game selection so I was able to still be a winner despite barely studying the game and mass tabling. I have since graduated college and now work full time, while playing poker on the side. I still take it very seriously and want to become a better player badly. I still barely study the game and this has to change because lately I feel like I have fallen behind in my main game and my winrate is reflecting this. I also really want to move up to 100nl but this will never happen if I dont change up my habits.
Here is my graph so far this year:
Im going to update this 2x a day. First post will be with my goals for the day, the second will be a review. Really excited to get this thread started and hopefully I can learn a thing or two about poker along the way.
