Hi

July 9th 2016

Introduction

I've played poker full time on and off for the past 8 years, basically all Plo, going through good times, going through bad times, with anxiety and the occiasional depression as a part of life. For the past year I've basically put no emphasis on the monetary aspect of my life to truly fix the non monetary problems i've had since puberty.

While that has basically cost me all of my savings and a year (9 months) of my time, I feel confident the past 9 months of my life has been the most productive of my life, where I've actually been able work on and fix the issues I've had since youth, and that if I ever do accomplish anything that requires more than me by my lonesome sitting behind a computer, it will have been made possible by the insane changes I've made to my life over the last year.

recognizing the power of robotics/A.I I'm gonna give one last effort at poker, giving it my all and being ok with the outcome as long as I do exert everything i have (excuse the secondary language english) into it.

Goals

- Make a minimum of $2k/month, if I on a 6 month streak is up <$12k I'll need a good reason not to scale the poker back to part-time or less (first 6 month streak going july 1st 2016 - January 1st 2017) and look into getting a full time job.

- Learn mixed games, while I've played plo for basically all of my poker career, i'm quite sure i'm most suited to limit/mixed games, although this may just be me removing the responsibility of my latest mediocre plo results onto something else (i.e my talent lies elsewhere p.o.s excuse).

- Make $100k in 2017
Can't really speak as to how this will be attained at this point, will have to reassess when I get a decent mixed game and plo sample after this "new beginning"

July 9th beginning

$150 on 888poker, gonna be focusing on plo games as there's no mixed game opportunities. SN: mclppp

€490 on Unibet, focusing on Plo, this €490 currently sitting in my neteller as I'm having some troubles opening/verifying my unibet account (sent documents on friday, waiting game)

$150/CAD$195 (held in CAD$) on Pokerstars, as the only site suitable for mixed games this $150 will be focused on mixed games, mainly 2-7 triple draw until >$1,8k (3/6 limit roll), when I'll start adding stud, stud8, razz, o8, 8game etc. will prob add 5card plo from whenever I feel like I'm rolled for the $0,1/$0,25 games (no tracker for 5card plo on stars yet right? whereas free poker database tracks all mixed games ala 2-7, stud, stud8, razz, o8?)

0chips (1btc = 1000 chips) on sealswithclubs/swc.eu, bitcoin site, as I am quite bullish on cryptos come 2018, and i do love me some open face chinese i will be trying to build a roll on swc from freerolls (as i have played on the site before I'm eligible to play decently prized freerolls)

Total $850
Plo roll $700
Mixed $150
