True, but it's still a start. And being up money, even just a small amount, is what gives me confidence that I can win. And confidence in my game is what motivates me to grind and crush my opponents. A lack of confidence, on the other hand, causes desperation and tilt.
I'm really pushing towards my goal now to beat 50nl online. I've been watching a tonne of videos by skuz poker and how he beats 200z on Ignition. I'm trying to emulate his plays at 50nl.
I know a few other players who can beat 200nl but want me to pay them for coaching. Maybe when my roll builds up, I'll consider that, but for now, I'm going to do my best to utilise all the free content available on YouTube.
I just recently started listening to Nick Howard too. I really look up to him because he seems incredibly wise and mentally stable. I definitely think that my mental leaks are far greater than my technical leaks, so I should devote more time to improving my mental game.
In terms of paying the rent, I'll continue to put in sessions of 1/3 NL at the casino, but my real passion at the moment is in trying to become a winning small stakes online reg.
