Hey guys what's up , been a long time lurker here since about 2012 and have decided to make a serious challenge myself. There have been some impressive goals and challenges on here that have inspired me to create one myself.
Backround :
I have been playing poker on and off since around 2011. I have started to take the game seriously since the beggining of this year. I started off playing cash games at the casino (1/2NL) then transitioned into mtt's online. I fell in love with them right from the start and have been a consistent winner since 2014 grinding micro stakes mtt's online mostly on 888 poker. I am also a consistent winner at live 1/2NL over the years however I have played maybe 25 sessions in this time. I feel confident in my game to beat these stakes and want to put in the work this time to see what happens. I recently had my first 4 digit score online back in march for a little under 3k on Pokerstars placing 3rd in the hot 55 and had another 4 digit score in april (2.2k) placing 4th in the big $162 on Pokerstars. I took shots both times and ended up losing my entire bankroll of around $7000 due to playing under the influence/tilting and playing above my bankroll thinking I could chase back the losses.
Goal :
The goal is difficult yet realistic, to turn my remaining $1000 bankroll into $10 000 by the end of December 2018. I will be grinding 20 - 25 hours per week at the casino playing $1/2 buying in with a stack of $200 and having a 2 buy in stop loss. I will also be playing mtt's online ranging from $5 - $30 mostly on 888 and Pokerstars. I want to be playing around 50 games per week and will be dedicating sundays strictly for online play. I will also be playing satellites into bigger games instead of buying straight into them as I was before to avoid unnecessary losses.
Notes :
I work full time 35-40 hours a week , my days off are Sunday's and Mondays. I make approximately $1000 each paycheck and get paid every second week. I will be putting in 50% of my paychecks into my poker roll to help downswings recover quicker. I will head to the casino at least one Saturday or Friday night of the week and two other weekdays after work to reach the 20 - 25 hours a week of playing. I will find time to play online in between due to being a poker junkie.
On a side note , I have recently gotten back into gym. I think this will help me get my confidence back and assist me having the energy to play later in the night. I will be working out 3-4 times per week , I have also quit smoking and drinking for the time being in order to increase my bankroll and avoid tilting like a drunken moron. I feel that being active and sober will enable me into completing this challenge perhaps quicker than expected.
