I am writing this post to get advice on my plan from those players who make their living from the poker tables. I know my plan can have some flaws so I hope to solve them with your help as well as, to help others with similar intentions.
I started playing poker around 2009, when it was still possible to play worldwide. Nowadays I am settled in Spain, where I can only play with spaniards. This makes the whole thing a bit harder because I'll need to move somewhere where I could play worldwide (I'm thinking on Germany because I have some friends there, I like the country and I may plan to study/work there eventually), so I'd have to add extra funds to get everything working.
Due to I've been studying until now (I'll be done next Febraury) I've never played seriously (by seriously I mean having a timetable to organize myself on playing a concrete number of hands per session, studying the game, etc), however, I managed to play ~40k hands at NL10 and according to some friends, I had stats to beat NL25.
I know the general poker world has changed a lot since then, but I've somehow kept myself updated by reading theory, following specialized webpages, writing in forums and so on.
Why I am saying all of this? Just to make clear that I am not a newbie (even though I haven't played higher than NL10) but someone who has been always interested in poker and now wants to make his living from it.
In order to achieve that, I need to make a plan (uptade concepts, design a timetable, get in touch with other players...) and here is my proposal:
- I would start playing NL25 SH with 50 buyins (are they enough for someone who has some knowledge and plans to keep learning?)
- I would mutitable 6 tables during 4-5 hours 5 days a week, which makes ~50k hands per month
- I would study ~3 hours per day, including hand revision, reading books, studying my stats on HM2... (I am right now registered on Run It Once, any other options?)
Where should I play (poker site)?
Which is the best time of the day to play?
Which methods I should use to learn (I mean, going beyond hand revision, HM2, theory...)?
Please, share here what you would add/modify to my plan.
