Hello, Misticblair over here ! Hope you guys are fine, and happy, as I am ! 
)
I would like to start some little project that was on my mind for a long time already. Firstly, let me introduce myself a bit, then I'll explain you my project and everything connected to it ! So keep reading !
Okey I am Misticblair as you know already, I live in UK since 2013 (I'm from Poland originally), I'm in love with poker since 2014 ! I started to study poker basics, and strategies through many poker players, I watched tons of WSOP/EPT + other high stake game videos in my education process. I also follow one specific grinder - xFlixx - as he is kind of my 'guru' if it comes to life-style. Simply my goal would be to quit current factory job, and work as a poker player on full-time. (I don't need 5k montly, what I need is 900-2k usd at most as I really don't need much more to be happy so, I decided to give myself a shot, I am really pumped with positive energy and I feel like I can make it happen, so here I am.
This little poker-diary, will be my place to keep myself motivated. I would be happy to hear any feedback later .
Well... Now a little bit about project itself.
This is my way to grind decent bankroll that allows me to play around 5-8 tables on stakes like 100-200-500NL. So basically this will be long, tough, bloody and sweaty way. This goal however, is long term goal. My short-term goals, gonna progress and I'll update'em in future posts !
Long-term goal(s) :
- Around 20k + some good savings on bank acc. to try-out full-time. (God I count on you in that one)
- Get used to multi-tabling at more than 4 zoom tables.
Short-term goal(s):
- Grind up from 250usd, up to 750usd.
So, if you see *red* txt in future posts, it will be my next short term goal !
I will try to put screenshots of my graph after each session, but can't promise it.
Also, I want to put boom-hands here, so you could give me some feedback about it, maybe some tips about overall challenge etc. !
Now, a little more about what exactly I want to play..
I was thinking about it for a long time, finally I decided that during the week, from Monday to Friday, I will play cash games only. That will be 6-max 5-10NL, from 1 up to 4 tables. If I reach around Twice as big bankroll (~500$) I'll add 1 or 2 more tables. Sometimes I might play reg. instead of zoom, but this should not matter that much, it's just preference.
During weekends, I want to grind a little bit of SnG + MTT . I can play up to 5-7 SnG but MTT I prefer one and only one table, cause I feel like I need to max. my focus, and reads on players in order to get to the money through X thousands of people :P
So, schedule would be :
Mon - Fri - 6-max cash (reg/zoom) Limit 5-10NL
Sat - Sun - SnG + MTT (Buy In 1 - 2.50$)
One thing worth mentioning is that I give myself 5 buy ins (until I reach more tables in multitabling) and If I lose 3/5 of that I quit session.
At the beginning, I don't want to use rebuy in cash games at all (also, preference - I feel, like I control my expenses more in this way).
In case of good sessions, I don't want to play deepstack that much, so any profits starting from 1/2 of BI at each lvl, I will book instantly, closing table, and starting it again, unless I specificaly will feel like I want to play more and I will be confident enough about such decision.
I want to avoid making super close/difficult decisions, so I feel like I will play more ABC poker but we'll see how it goes.
Alright, I think I explained everything, now if you guys have any questions, please ask me, enjoy your life and follow me if you want ! :P
