Introduction:
I have been playing poker for around 6 years now, starting off at school, progressing to online. At the start I was losing at NL25, then gradually through rake back and learning the game I managed to build a roll. I have always had no real value for money and if I won big I would either be down the casino playing roulette after a big night out or booking holidays for 10+ friends to come to Vegas for a lads holiday. In this time I have come through University finally achieving a degree in Banking, Finance & Management this summer, despite never making any lectures. It was a four year course, the third year on placement. Everyday I would count the hours down on the clock until I got home to grind the tables and make money. Working the 9-5 office job was something I never wanted to do (and still, nothing has changed). I built a bankroll on there to a solid 6 figure one but over the space of 48 hours on online roulette and sports betting I went from £200,000 to £5,000. Since Jan 5th 2011 I have put in a fair number of hands (approx 200k) and worked it back from NL200 to now NL2K again, with shots at NL5-10K. Now with a bankroll of around £200,000 again, I am determined to achieve £500,000 profit in the next 12 months.
I have recently been beating the tables at a win rate of around 10bb/100 since Feb this year. Below is my graph (my computer got wiped completely about in April time so the graph only includes hands since then), and a report of the various stakes I have been playing with winnings etc.
I have wanted to start this goal for some years now, but being a student (my dad making me get the degree) I never really saw the need to take it serious until now.
I will be updating this thread regularly and will answer any questions you may have in here or via PM.
I will be trying to work on my showdown line in the graph also. The non-showdown I am happy with.
So here it is, GL me!
