The story line

I´ve made many PGC threads before, some on this account and some that i´ve made on a different account incase it would be another thread that i would abandon. It´s not an usual story - there´s a reason why it´s fun to see an successfull thread.

I discovered poker about 8 years ago and since then i´ve ran a couple bankrolls up - the biggest one was when i was 18 years old, ran it up to about 13k$ at its highest with a combination of MTTs, NLHU and live cash games.

I´ve never grinded seriously longer than a couple of months since i was never able to handle the downswings so this will most likely be my last try at playing poker seriously. It´s something i´ve wanted to do for ages, been a dream of a sort however i do not look at poker as the end goal even though it was when i first discovered poker, nothing was more cooler than a baller that made all his money in poker and would then spew like a mother****er in real life.

Since then it´s always followed me as it´s one of the most intresting games that are available and without a doubt the game that´s easiest to make money at since you don´t have to be in the top 0.1% just like most games.

Now how did i start grinding again?

I wasn´t employed because i had quit a couple months back and was started to reeeaaalllyyy need money and wondering what i was doing with my life as things werent looking that bright, i had deposited a couple hundred bucks but had to withdraw before i could make any money at 180s.
So on this one night about 5-6 weeks ago i deposited 11$ for a nights entertainment and regged the Big 11 while watching some TV shows, at some point i started going deep and decided to fire up a twitch stream as i had been thinking about streaming for a while and went on to place 2nd place with a great crowd on twitch watching me taking down a 4,7k$ score after saying no to a chop. Twitching made me want to say no to a chop as i already had some life changing money guaranteed and ofcourse, i´m a gambler when i come down to it...

I left 1k$ on my account and cashed out the rest for life expenses and since then i´ve grinded 830 tournaments and shipped the 11$ monday night 6max for 2,3k$.

After the second score i discovered that i could play NLHU once again however the tables are way different since its Zoom now but i feel like i´ve adjusted quite nicely to them but i´m still looking to improve my game but feeling confident about grinding these games.

Whats the plan?

The goal is having 15k$ combined in liferoll and bankroll before the end of October and for that I´ll be grinding both NLHU and MTT´s.
I might play some 6max aswell but historically i haven´t been doing good in those but i´ve matured alot as a person and a player since i attempted to grind those in the past. Every sunday i also play the sunday million on a stake so there´s a chance of knocking the goal out of the park every weekend.

This goal might not be the most crazy since almost everyone on PGC likes to put a goal that almost seem impossible - to be honest with the stakes that i´m playing right now even this one is a challenge and it´s not guaranteed i´ll reach it however i´ll be putting in alot of effort to be able to reach it.

I´ll be posting updates here in the thread and then there´s my twitch stream which mostly follows my MTT grind even though i do sometimes stream my NLHU grind but it just dosen´t feel smart - revealing my thought process live on stream on tables that anyone can join at any given time and also it isn´t as exciting... dosen´t have the big swings as MTTs do.

So my stream is: https://www.twitch.tv/lamahydra

I´m not sure if i´ll be making monthly goals but for now, untill the end of this month i´ll be shooting for playing as much as i can but i also got some stuff to do and also socialising so i don´t become a cave troll and go insane.

Thanks for reading, GL to us.
