New year lies ahead of me, and I do not know where the tracks lead me. I'm at a crossroad in my life where I have to figure what I am going to do for income by the end of this summer. If I can't straighten my game by then, I'll certainly have to look for a nine to five.

About myself, I have been playing poker off and on since 2005. I was the quintessential tournament donk. Binking a couple nice scores, and losing at 50NL consistently, while my buddy was winning at mid stakes. In August I started playing on an inactive account I had left a 25NL BR on. Started losing again, and decided to pick up a stake for the micros. The stake has been going breakeven with marginal profits. After a small profit chop, I started losing again. The trend being winning at 10NL and 25NL at 10bb+, and then losing at 50NL over 60k~ hands.

I also play on my reactivated account on my own dime. I have been doing well recently. Also I bet my bankroll on a boxing match. I'm an avid boxing fan of both new and old fights. I knew Ortiz vs Jennings was a extreme mismatch, so I went with my gut and placed my first sports bet. I didn't know what all the numbers meant, but in typical fashion, I clicked buttons. So now with a few winning sessions strung together, I'm close to taking my 35 BI shot @ 50NL.

My current staked account.



My personal account. (25NL Fail Mar-May, Fail Aug, Revamp Sep. 10NL+)



My goal is to make it to small stakes and crush 50NL and become a winner at 100NL by the end of this summer. I have been putting in 20 hrs a week, with half of the time playing 30-35 hrs. I've been experimenting with some GTO stuff, and am very close to buying CREV, and maybe a GTO solver when I can afford it.

Here's to becoming a GTO machine.
Happy New Year's guys,

Less gooo. GL!!

GL sir! I think we have played many hands together on ACR, you were a handful to deal with. Keep it up and climb those stakes baby.

Thanks for the support gents! Have a great year! CHOO CHOO.

Ended up getting CREV. Been working for the past two weeks on some basic stuff. Stuff more accustomed CREV users could probably figure out in two hours. With some input from super helpful people, I think I am ready to start my grind. Put in a few seshs recently basically break even.





I figured out I have absolutely no clue how to play SRP OOP. So when I don't feel like playing, I'll run a sim on those scenarios. If anyone has any advice or material to help me out, I'll gladly take a look haha.

Now to put in some volume!
