Hello 2plus2,
I thought I’d start a PGC thread as a way of challenging myself to put in volume. I’ve always had issues putting in the required volume to succeed in poker. Hopefully the prospect of having a PGC thread and some form of accountability to post regular updates will help this. I play poker primarily because it’s bloody fun and I’m highly competitive.
A little about me…
I’m an Australian, I’ve graduated, worked at a firm, decided wasn't enjoying it, quit went traveling, learned (attempting to) another language and pursued hobbies till I figure out what to do.
Last year I moved to France (Paris) and lived there a year and found it a huge struggle to play online poker. Needed so much paperwork just to play online on super high rake regulated sites but it was fun.
So I didn’t play a lot of online poker in France, I played reasonably regularly in a pretty crazy live 2/2 uncapped game in Paris which was incredibly fun then it was unfortunately shutdown via a government raid. The game was also rather slow since floor was called probably once an hour on busy nights since the French seem to love a good spirited debate at the table.
Pokerwise I’m back in Australia and starting to play zoom for first time this month. I do enjoy a good troll at the tables if someone is getting lippy but that's pretty much exclusively reserved for regs
. I hope to be able to establish myself at 200nl by end of the year.
I mostly start tables at regular 6max and enjoy playing HUNL. Currently playing zoom for first time. I started poker from a sng background and have been attempting ever since to control my aggression at cash tables. I started at deep ante and have branched out to 100bb poker.
Goals: Put in 30k volume minimum a month
Become an established reg at 200nl by end of year.
Graph/stats
From around 2013 onwards. My old machine died but this is what I had so missing a few hands when I started 100nl HU at end of graph before leaving for France.
Played online for a few months in PS.FR. Found the rake really difficult.
Currently since starting zoom and a little 50nl/100nl regular 6max this year. Missing 1 a nice +500 day that I played at a mates that I don't have on my hud.
Feel free to critique, post tips and thoughts. I enjoy helping others and probably wouldn't still play poker if I had not met some really cool people on the way
