Hey everyone,

I'm here with a new thread, managed to finally set myself a goal I can work towards for the upcoming time and figured I'd share the progress with everyone interested!

Some personal stuff:

The reason I titled the thread this way, is because I would love to be able to move out of my parents house. There are just alot of things that make that hard for me. I struggle alot with mental health issues. I have really bad anxiety and my social skills are really limited. Social anxiety makes me uncapable of working a normal job at the moment, which means I am going really hard on poker right now.
I am getting cognitive behavioural therapy for the past 2 months so really hoping this will impact my life in a good way.
I also started going to the gym 4 times a week for the past couple months, which is really tough for me aswell, but its starting to become easier every time I go.

Poker history:

If you read my previous threads, you would already know this but this is a short summary of how the poker has been going for me since I started.
I played my first hand of poker 2 years ago (according to sharkscope), messed around for like 3 to 4 months and was terrible so I kind of gave up on the pokerdream and played cash and sit&go once in a while, but not tryharding at it at all. After somehow sunrunning to around $2000 I went on a downswing, withdrew the leftover money and took like a 4 month break.

After the break I started a thread called: 5NL rec to 50NL reg on 6-16-2017.
Thats when I really started to take things seriously and tried to step up my game.
Since the day I made that decision, things have been going super well, and as you can see by the title I'm playing 500z at the moment and to be honest I don't even know how thats possible myself.

I started playing tournaments aswell since the start of 2018, and I won a winterseries $109 for $40k at the first day of the year .
So yea that was kind of addicting which mean I play tournaments now aswell. Not a full schedule, but just the ones I enjoy playing. Mainly the thriple threat.

March results:

Had a pretty good month this month and here are my results:

CASH:



All of these hands were played at 500z. This is the first time I played 500z in my life so I'm obviously very happy with these results .

TOURNAMENTS:

Unfortunately my HM messed up the tournaments results of yesterday so this is the graph from the 1st until 28th of march:



And I won the thriple threat yesterday for another $10k.

Combined I made just under $37k in march, so pretty ****ing happy with that haha .

I am not sure how often I'll be able to update, but everytime something interesting happens I will make an update.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Sick progress man, your story is really inspiring, the true poker dream

good luck in the upcoming months, cheering for your success

Really impressive results. Gl!

Hey, you could try:

A Diet without wheat and gluten free + Wim Hof Method because of your anxiety and your social skills and stop looking porn if you do that. (you can stop masturbation for 30 days so your brain has time to rewire.)

Just give it a try for 30 days.

Best regards

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words!

Thanks.
Thanks for the advice man, will definitely do some research into that!





Played my first proper cash session of the month today, really rough day mentally. Alot of ups and downs, a **** ton of coolers, but it's ok.. Really happy that I managed to pull it back to a breakeven day.

Subbed!!!!

Didn't know Runit was you :-) , sick result for you're first month 500z and sweet 40k bink. Do you mix zoom with mtts? or just have zoom days and mtt days?

Gl this year

Thanks! I play whatever I feel like playing, sometimes only zoom, sometimes only mtts and there are also times where I play both at the same time.
So there is not really a schedule haha.

Thanks! gl to you too.

Another day finished:



Started really late tonight, so not a good volume at all.

Also had a deep run in a tournament:



Extremely frustrated I got 5th, got completely destroyed by variance vs a pretty bad player. So really annoyed about that.

Pretty good win booked for the day still, will be more happy about that tomorrow I assume haha.

Congrats on the sick results in the past month. Keep up the good work & best of luck with the house goal & moving out.

Have you been diagnosed with Aspergers, ADD or some form of autism? It kinda fits with your description of yourself and what looks like pretty stellar progress in your poker journey?

At some stage you are going to hit a pretty savage downturn (everybody does) so you want to have your coping strategy sorted well in advance of the happening.

On the house front...any clues as to where you live?? I ask because in some countries, you will have to buy cash (shouldn't be a problem if you keep crushing!) as you won't get a mortgage off your poker winnings.

Thanks man

I have been screened for autism, they told me I'm not autistic. I don't really agree with them, because my problems are so related to people who have autism. But they know what they are talking about I guess haha.

I have already had multiple $10k+ downswings in the past, I don't really worry about them to much. I basically just grind through them untill I'm peaking in the bankroll again haha. Mtts are great for that aswell, they can basically turn a downswing into an upswing within a few hours.

I live in the netherlands, probably will need to pay off the entire house at once. Or rent something with alot of months paid upfront. That's why I need alot of profit this thread haha.

You should try organic hemp CBD oil. Many uses, including anxiety. Give it 15 min of research. You won't be disappointed.

Gogogo! Good luck!

sick result, glgl

whos the pretty bad player?

subd. where do you live in the netherlands? Where do you want to buy a house?

gl on your journey

In !! Following every thread of you - in each of them you show amazing ethic and progress
Gl!!!

GL m8

just read all your threads. really impressive tbh.

do you still find yourself not really studying, despite now entering the 500z pool?

Visited Amsterdam last month.
Loved it and actually think it is one of my favorite places in EU.
gl op

Thanks for the advice. I got an appointment for medication with a psyciatrist soon. So will wait for that first.

Thanks both!

I dont know anymore who it was. He probably wasnt terrible, but he hit every river after call twice with the worst hand, which tilted the **** out of me haha.

I live near Rotterdam, also want to live somewhere near there. But not in a city, also way to expensive probably.

Thanks guys

Thank you! I never studied a big amount so that hasnt changed haha.

I've been to Amsterdam once in my life haha. Rotterdam is far superiour .
Thanks !


Past 2 days have been pretty bad, but I'm running like complete **** aswell, so I'm sure it will turn around really soon!

Thats more like it haha.
Going to the gym now and then play more for the rest of the day.

that's kinda odd??? I've been to Amsterdam 6 times and I live in the UK????

If i want to go to a city, I just go to Rotterdam, which is like 15 minutes away haha.

Just finished a really long day of playing.
Some times you got to go really hard to end with a profit haha.
Really not running well at all, but that is to be expected after an upswing.
