Well long time lurker poker player here.

Im dedicating the rest of this year to playing poker while working part time just to give me some extra money to play and do things with.

Well first started playing when i was 17 in a local pub league im 23 now and things have come on a long way. I've had moderate success through my poker career and recently started to make my way deep in some very respectable tournaments. Through the 6 years playing I've played live up to 5/10, and I have played online up to 2/4. I definitely say I'm a good player and definite winner at cash online and live. Recently I've started to partake in more live tournaments and having moderate success which i am pleased with.

Online I've come close to 5 and 6 figure cashes but just cant bypass that last hurdle to secure that big finish.

I have the funds available to play up to 2/4 online but I want really go from bottom to top, invest as least as possible and really prove to myself that Ive got what it takes.


Im getting to that age now where I either make it big in the next 2 years or i live a ''normal life'' working a 9-5 job.


So whats the plan you might ask.......

Well ill be playing 10nl 6 max zoom to start online where ill grind a 20BI for the next limit and move up. I'd like to think im more than capable of grinding up a 5 figure roll by the end of this year and also make supernova.

Throughout the year ill be playing high value tournaments which include qualifying for the ISPT in may, and also heading over to Ireland later this year to play a few big guarantee tournaments. I will also be playing some UKIPT's this year too along with a few other good value poker tours.


Wish me luck and hopefully ill have my name in some kind of lights by the end of the year.

Well just been fine tuning alot of things last minute. Left my job to play part time now and just want a few days a week somewhere part time to tie me over. Other than that will mainly be playing online. When my roll gets big enough i will split and take 1/2 of it play live with and leave the other half online.

Well things i need to do before i get cracking with this is

find a part time job
get my grind station ready - need 2 monitors to complete
buy a new tracking software for computer. will go for HM.

Well still awaiting my desk to be delivered. Will post pics of my grind station once completed.

Will be starting with $300ish maybe more. Will just be grinding for volume at 10nl for the first month to get my 100% bonus then will move to 25nl and grind that til $1500.

Well on the search for a part time job still. Got my monitors and just need my desk and to half decorate my room and everything is good to go.

Just searching the internet aswell for UK poker tours/events and compiling a list that hopefully Ill play.

Update

Monitor purchased
Desk arrived.

Just need to assemble and grind station is completooo.

Just waiting to head to the bank on thursday as im away for a few days so will be ready to get grinding on friday.
