Just caught up on your thread man, reminds me of myself haha.

Haven't played online in a while now, I finished work and was doing nothing for ~3 months but playing micro stakes poker. Start with zoom, then moved to 45/90 man turbo SNGs + micro MTT, was crushing them till I had a sick 2 week ~1000 game 100BI downswing, then tried my hand at the 6 max hypers haha.

Now I'm going back to Uni next year and working pretty much full time again, playing SNGs isn't really viable due to being on the west coast and peak time starting at like 1am till 7am. I know I'm a better SNG/MTT player and love to load 20 games and mass table blasting tunes or listening to Joe Rogan podcasts lol, just wish I could with real life commitments aka work/uni. If I was good enough to live off poker I could, but quite at that level haha.

What's your plans for 2013, learn the 6m hypers? Any volume goals?

Hahaha nice! Come Melbourne sometime and we will party.

Yeah I get you man, I had a little break middle of the year: but yeah I'm so confused about my game at the
Moment. I don't know what I want to ****ing play.

To be honest mate I'm not sure, I'll Be picking a game type before NY and then locking out all other types, I can't stick to a game type by myself: I'm thinking it could very well end up being cash though

Ok, been ages since I updated sorry guys, felt somewhat disheartened due to results.

Anyway, I switched to cash (lolchangingitallthetime) at the 5nl level and start playing with a 5 BI upswing. Followed by dropping half my BR. I have now grinded it back to $88 and it will be getting Upto the next level, or I'll die trying haha.

I wanna get 10nl by NYE, so $300 in my BR, and I finish for my holidays from work tomorrow (the 19th) and go back on the 7th of Jan. So, even of I said 10nl by then, I'd be happy. Will be setting some volume goals over the 2.5 weeks I have off, as well as fitness goals.

I also now have a gorgeous girlfriend, Arx saw photos and can attest that she is quite good looking. She is pretty much exactly like me, except female and more attractive. Lol

Will post giraffes when I get home and I've started posting more hands in the micros forums.

Gl everyone

I've decided that although I'm improving, I'm just continuously falling back into old habits. And it's not good when I really do want to succeed, I can't work out if I'm just always gonna be a losing player or if I actually have what it takes to be a winner. I get the feeling that when I win like 5BI or something, and then drop it back next 2 sessions, I wonder if I was just running good during those 5BI or what.

I think my only way to do this is by starting at the very bottom of the rungs, so 2nl. With 30BI.


My plan is as follows:

Beat 2nl and get myself to 5nl by 100k hands. And If not, I quit online poker.

I think I can beat live poker, but the two are hugely different, so although I might be able to beat one, it doesn't mean I can beat the other.

I will only be depositing once.

I will be posting in this thread with progress everyday I play.

I will be attempting to play daily. ( I am working atm and it's hard because of the type of work).



Once I get to 5nl, I will then set proper long term goals, but as far as it goes, I;m just going for the 5nl target.



So, to sum it up:

2nl -5nl in 100k hands or I quit online poker.

That's $60-$150.




Cheers guys, depositing today. Will report back.

Yoyo.

So, I was playing 2nl, not doing well at all. I don't ****ing know what it is about 2nl. Anyway, next minute MTTs.

And I'm down to $10 in my account. Hopped onto 5nl two tabling and played nothing but ABC. After like 1.6k hands I have $40 in my account and I'm just gonna grind it out at 5nl.

Was talking with a dude last night, a full time MS MTT grinder, and we were looking at a stake until I beat 25nl. Which would be rad.

Realised that I don't have correct thought process/skill enough to correctly multitasks more than 4.
