Hey guys been killing live poker lately but im moving farther away from the casino so I can't make the daily drive to the casino to play anymore so im moving back online!
Got my last month of drill this month for the army national guard. So when im done ill be making a 1k deposit on bovada and qorking my ass off to clear that 1250.00 bonus.
Been killing 1-3 live so ill be starting at 25nl and going from there. Im in college and i make about 1400.00 a month in military benifets while im going to school which is enough to pay my bills so im hoping to use poker for extra income like I have been. I had about 25k in debt at the start of march and im down to 7k now so inplan to use poker to finish paying that off like i have been. I am planning to have the last 7k of my debt paid off by late september. I played online before did bad got some coaching by a love player for the past 8 months or so and im up anout 20k in those 8 months. So itll be a journey should be fun
Well one more day tomorrow at work then friday i move back in with my parents so i can get back in school and get back on my feet after me and my girl broke up after 3 years.
I must say as much as it sucked that 3 years of my life webt down the drain after like a month of fighting. Im grateful in some ways. In less than 4 years ill have my aviation degree. Ill be debt free in a month or 2. And this is giving me the ability to play poker for a living and see if i can accomplish a dream.
I think i have my basic life expenses figured out pretty close and it a basic schedule.
Dog food:40
Gas: 200
Food/beer/smokes: 300
Car insurance: 50
Cell phone: 50
Misc:250
I get about 1400 dollars a month to go to school from my veteran benifets. And my dad can get me a chill 10 dollar an hour job working like 15ish hours a week if i really need it but unless im missing a major bill i should have roughly an extra 400 dollars a month once i start school.
I also talked about my schedule. I thi k its very important to have a daily schedule to keep you from grinding the entire day away and getting consumed by poker
So this is rough but it might be pretty close to wat i do
Mon-fri
Off days Monday and Wednesday
10 am wake up (because i can)
11am gym
12pm lunch
1 pm home work
3 pm prep for stream/HH review
4pm start stream/session
6pm supper break
630 pm continue session
8-10pm end session
12am bed
I like this because it gives me 2 hours to watch tv or w.e and get poker off my mind and it gives me half a day to forget about the night before.
Sat sun
10 am wake up
11am homework
12 pm lunch
1pm prep for stream/HH review
2pm start stream/session
6pm supper break
630 pm continue session
8-10pm end session
12 am bed
I feel how i have this set up i wake up and take care of what i need to do for that day (homework, gym, misc) then i do my stream prep and HH review to get my mindset right. Then i start my session (go to work) do a roughly 6 hour session, minus supper break. And then i give me self about 2 hours to relax which i think will help alot withthe stress of playing full time. I also use have Monday and Wednesday as my off days
I used to do Monday and Tuesday but on my days off i dont let myself think about poker at all. So i prefer 24 hours off 24 on 24 off instead of 48 off straight.
Again this is all just a rough plan and im sure itll change in 2 weeks when i officially kick this thing off.
Im also considering taking one weekend a month and taking a trip to a surrounding casino and playing live 1 weekend a month.
As for paying myself i think im gonna do a weekly 25/25/50 split until im totally debt free.
Basically each week ill cash out all my profit with 25 percent going to me as a paycheck 25 going into my BR (2nd savings account) and 50 going towards my debts. Im not to worried about getting it paid off but the sooner the better.
Once im debt free it will be a 15/25/25/35
But it will be broke down as such
15 goes to personal savings account
25 stays online so i can move to 50nl one day
25 goes to offline BR
And 35 is my paycheck.
Onviously if i make 20 dollars in a week it wouldnt make sense to cash it out ao i think ill set it to like a 1k min. For a cash out. So if its weekly 2 weeks or monthly ill make the adjustments.
Overall short-term goal would to make 2k a month
That means with debt i would pay myself 500 dollars a month
500 towards my offline br
And an extra 1k to my debts
Out of debt 2k a month would be
300 into my savings
500 stays online
500 into my offline br
And 700 as a paycheck
Sorry about the post being cluttered with no clear direction here im just kind of getting my ideas down on paper per say.
I know 2k a month might sound high to aome people but thats roughly 3 bis a day with the schedule i have. Obvious some will be more and some will be less we will just have to see how we do if 25nl is anywhere close to 1/3 live we will be just fine!
Thanks. Should be fun and with a consistent income why not take a shot right get 1400 a month to go to school so really dont need any more money and my bills r very limited
Got a pass tomorrow might grind some i think im gonna play mostly on the wpn i just hate bovada but i know ill most likely have to play there wether i like it or not. gonna put in aome decent volume at lower level HU hypers and jackpots i think
