Make a Million by my 25th Birthday.

Bored in Accounting lecture so thought I'd reply to everything ITT. My birthday was pretty good, apart from Arsenal losing and the football team I personally play in getting destroyed 5-0. I'll probably do a mini update Sunday/Monday after my weekend at home, got a test tomorrow which is 10% of my first year so got to concentrate on aceing that for now.
I deposited 1.5k in December and pretty much started at 25nl and moved to 50nl very quickly. I cashed out ~10k this year too I think.
Yeah cheers guys, I think I just get down because I always feel like I could/should have achieved more, got a better mindset now though and out to maximise my potential from this point on.
ty for the happy birthday. Yeah I just looked at what I wrote and I got the conversion rate wrong, parents probably earned £60k gbp/ 100k USD combined. (I did some accounts for my mum for $$ a couple of years ago, so fairly conifdent in this estimate.) They are obviously not poor at all, and at home I always considered us fairly well off. It's just now I go to University and all my mates payed 17k per term for private school it's made me realise there are different levels of 'well off' ha. But yeah I guess they were still a way above the average.
I think I normally spend ~£10 on pre drinks (8 beers or a bottle of vodka), then £5 entry, £5 taxi, £15 in the club on drinks normally. Even when I am slaughtered though I still have some grasp on how ridiculous it is I'm paying £3.50 for a double gin and lemonade though ha.
Yeah I am studying Econ, would be cool if you could link me to the group I'd definitely take a look at it. I'd also definitely be up for meeting any decent poker players in Cardiff, so anyone playing 50nl+ from around here hit me up if you read this.
I'm setting it as 1 milli $. It might be unrealistic, but just want to have some tangible figure to aim for really, and may as well set my sights high. I normally play 1 hour sessions, then take a 5 minute break get a drink of water and do 20 press ups just to get me focused again. I expect to play ~12hours a week term time and ~20 hours a week out of term time when I'm in UK.
Yeah I'm definitely not going to miss out on anything at uni hopefully. I'm already in a football team here and in the swimming club. Contemplating joining the scuba diving society but not sure yet, I do really love diving but running out of time at the moment :/
Thanks for the gl too.
Haha, I really have a nit aversion to anything baller that isn't travelling. Think most baller thing I've done is bought a round at the pub for 20 people just before I went to uni, but even that was £40. Guess I'm just a life nit 
.
Yeah I think that is some of the reason. Also it's because I genuinely know in a lot of areas I have seriously under performed really.
We pre drink too a lot. To be fair I'm not really averse to spending £40 on a night out, it's just when it's 3 days a week it starts to seem extortionate haha.
Good luck with your own PG+C, I'll take a look at it sometime next week.
Yeah obviously I can't predict that I will still love poker and play for the next six years, just wanted to make a longer timescale PG+C so I could update more sporadically. I also say in the OP that poker is strictly a means to an end for me and there are definitely other jobs I would rather do. I do have a pretty good social life at home and at uni anyway, so that's not a problem at the moment. I would hope I would never let poker intrude on my social life too much, but at the same time I don't feel the need to be socialising every single weekday night, as long as I see and eat with people are fair bit anyway.
I also think given the time I put into poker it would be majorly -EV for me to give up now. It's the first time I really feel confident in every game I sit in that I am better than almost every player, and am really spotting mistakes people are making regularly that I know I never make myself.
Anyway maybe I'll battle you at full tilt sometime in the near future, gl.

Randomly clicked on this thread - gl and happy birthday!
I have a mate at Cardiff Uni (used to play 200NL but doesn't play so much any more) who studies third year economics. I couldn't work out if that's what you are studying but if so you two would have similar likes I'd imagine and I think he runs an economics type group at Cardiff which I can provide a link to if you like that sort of thing.
Anyway, back to the challenge. I don't think that target is too crazy - would it be in $ or £? How would you say you approach sessions? Long, intense games or short bursts? How many hours a week do you expect to be playing during term time and out of term time?
I think it's good that you are sensible with money. Your background isn't exactly "standard" - two skiing holidays per year is evidence of that(!), but it has taught you good values. Whilst you're at Uni it's probably a good idea to be over-rolled for certain levels otherwise downswings will dampen your desire to go out and enjoy yourself. I would suggest letting your social life control your calendar and not a poker schedule.
During my first year (5+ years ago now) I played a hell of a lot and barely went out but once I started mixing it about more in my second and third year I enjoyed life a lot more. I don't necessarily mean out clubbing and drinking, just taking part in all of the different societies and opportunities Uni has to offer. For example, after Uni there won't be anywhere near the access to the sporting options or facilities that Uni provides so make the most of those if that is your sort of thing.
You are in a great position with money in the bank and a good bankroll online so just keep working on your game and taking advantage of the opportunities you have created yourself by getting a degree whilst living life to the full. The road to a million will be a long and swingy one so I look forward to seeing what happens along the way!

could the reason you feel depressed is because you always strive for perfection and are never ever satisfied with your results? sorry for always reffering to these deep thoughts but you are right at my age and im in a very simular situation as you. I find that when ever i do something i feel like its just not enough, it could have been done better, ie, tests, winning sessions, life, going out, girls, etc. its the "never satisfied mentality" Well, if thats the case its not always a bad thing, keep trying to strive to become better all the time. it will make you a better person.
And the issue with trouble spending 40 pounds on a night of drinking. i do agree and think thats a little nitty. youre in a goof financial situation for your age so you are one of the people that actually can afford to spend a little more if you must. however, if you insist on not spending more than 40 pounds a night drink at home more before you go out. What we do in canada, as im sure they do this else where, is we pre drink to the point where we are one drink away from getting ****ed up before we hit the bar or club. once you get to the club, youve sobered up buy 1 drink, (if you want to supliment your buzz just hide a beer or something and drink it on the subway) once you get to the bar you need about 1.5 drinks to get to your level. buy one drink, or two. and youve spend maybe 12-15$. find a chick, buy her a drink and your stuck another 5-8$.
now that i think of it, you can do a lot with 40$
youve also inspried me to do my own Poker goal. something like play 50K hands in november and december and win at like 5bb for that period. anyway, thats for another time.
Good luck!

+ £20 is a few pints and taxi lol
This OP sounds a little like me yet i played higher and made more at his age but destroyed my grades at A level. C D E (Wasnt actually poker related tho)
My advice, drop poker and socialise and live. I rarely play poker anymore and if i do i dont enjoy it. Its hard to beleive that for 5 years (ages 15-20) poker was my life, My enthusiasm was 1000%. I never thought i would not love poker, the idea was absurd and i would have layed my B.R on it, i but it all changed when B.F hit.
Will be nice to see if FTP coming back can rekindle the flame but just be wary 6 years is a long time and many things will change and happen

I've had a word with my mate at Cardiff, I'll PM you his Facebook and you can ask him more details about the group etc..
How are you planning on reaching one mill? Grinding steadily or moving up aggressively? Will you mix live events or online tournaments to try for a big score to help you on your way. What are you shorter term aims?

I'll definately play a lot of online tournaments and will probably sell some % to soft live tournaments, because they are so fun to play in.
Shorter term I want to make 30kish next year and be comfortable that I can beat 200nlz by the end of it.
Also (relatively boring) update incoming, was going to try and play more poker but buzzing too much after the Arsenal game and think I'll play bad so not going to bother.

Poker
Okay so my poker volume has been pitiful since the last update, been really busy though so can't be helped, I promise I'll play 10k hands by Sunday.
Graph since last update;
Fairly happy with how I played, watched some videos and took notes on them too, also bought a Deuces Cracked account again to look at some of the good older stuff on there.
Also, although I will always post AIEV in my graphs because it is more indicitive of winrate than greenline, interesting to note that I probably didn't run that bad over this period, as my winrate was 5.54bb/100 and my actual 50nl AIEV winrate over a big sample is only 8bb/100 anyway.
More a note to others who post AIEV and yet still have a winrate way higher than their true winrate and complain about runbad really, complaining is one of the most annoying things in poker and I've actually stopped talking to a lot of poker friends due to them doing it.
I also played live poker on Friday night, and wound up losing £50. Fortunately I agreed to profit share with a mate (a bad idea long term as I am significantly better than him) and he won £250 so ended up winning some money.
Two kinda interesting hands that happened;
I'm dealt 5
5
somewhere in the middle of a ten man table (don't know positions beyond 6max haha.) and limp 3rd in.
I think limping is the best play just because 55 is a bad hand to play multiway against people who don't like to fold, and also raising lets them 3bet their AA instead of stacking off vs my sets postflop, but if some live players reading can confirm that would be cool.
Anyway, a kinda bad annoying old guy raises to 4 (stakes were .5/1) and like 5 people call.
Flop is 75
7
I check 3rd to act which is probably bad in hindsight but whatever, and it checks round.
Turn 4
A bad Asian guy who was one of the limpers leads out 10 into 20. One guy folds, I call, and original raiser calls.
A bit of history with this Asian guy is that he limp called A3s preflop and called a cbet with a flushdraw, then donked turn and river with a flush. Also he thought about calling a flop all in with backdoors then folded face up as if it was a tough decision.
River A
Asian checks, I bet 42:50 leaving 30 behind. Original raiser tanks for ages (tells afterwards he folded a straight). And the Asian check jams.
I literally tanked for ages, I knew he was bad but also that he seemed to favour agression with his nutty hands, and a check raise on the river even from a bad player is indicitive of extreme strength.
Also I know he limps every suited ace so can have A7s a lot imo.
Even considering this, I'm pretty sure I have to call because he can have 44 and getting insane odds.
He tables 75 which actually makes my call better and he scoops.
The other big hand is only worth posting for the lols really.
Guy 1 opens, guy 2 calls, my mate (who is 200bb deep with guy 2) 3bets AA.
Flop is AJx twotone, and Guy 1 open shoves 50bb, guy 2 tank calls, my mate shoves (I know wtf).
Guy 2 insta calls and tables 98 with a flushdraw. He binks on the turn but my mate fills up on the river.
This is where it gets funny. The guy with the 9 high leaves the table. A weird looking kid to my left remarks, 'You're lucky there, 99 times out of 100 he takes all your money.' A couple of other guys nod in approval of this comment as the guy continues 'He's a pro. Plays in this game for a living and never has a losing day.'
At this point i'm literally pissing myself laughing, and have a good time trying to persuade them and failing for 15 minutes that a pro would not call an all in 200bb deep with 9 high. The best remark I got in response was 'If your mate didn't get lucky on the river then he wins the pot.'
Life
This is in major danger of getting TLDR, so I'll try and keep this short.
Firstly, here's a picture of what my flatmates got me for my birthday;
Signed by my RVP too, because they know how much I love him.*
My birthday was fairly decent, played the Champions league drinking game before going out with 6 games on, was fairly hectic. Was a bit gutted that Arsenal lost to Schalke though, and my own football team lost 5-0 so was not a good day football wise.
I also went back to my hometown for the weekend (nearish Bristol if anyone cares.) Was cool seeing all my old mates and going to the casino and out, also watching Man United beat Chelsea with the help of Clattenburg in the company of 7 outraged Chelsea fans was fairly hilarious. Also thought it is worth posting a picture of the extremely bad dragon we made on roulette, which actually won us £70 from a £10 deposit;
I've also joined a gym for the first time in 4 years. I think I'm in fairly good shape, because I swim a lot and play football regularly, but I am so so weak when it comes to weights. I was completely struggling to bench like 50kg, and was just generally **** at everything. If anyone who knows anything about gym could suggest a decent workout plan for someone who hasn't been to the gym before, I would definitely appreciate it. I'm 6 foot 2, weigh 12 stone, and am pretty aerobically fit if that helps.
I also went on the rowing machines a bit, which is pretty fun. I enjoy doing the 5*500ms with 1 minute rest, completely destroyed all my uni mates by averaging 1:50, which might be a really bad time when compared with regular gym goers but I'm proud anyway.
I'm obviously going out for Halloween in fancy dress tomorrow too which should be awesome. Fancy dress makes clubbing 100x more fun in my opinion.
Finally, I'm thinking of giving 3 hours of free coaching to someone between November and December. Bare in mind that I have only ever coached people I stake before, so I may or may not be really bad, but I enjoy doing it and have a bit of free time. The criteria would be playing 10nl or just started at 25nl, and I would probably just sweat you and talk through a few hands, nothing spectacular. PM me if you're interested and hopefully I can sort something out with someone.

Poker
I've put in a lot of volume since last update, and been running very good. Have definitely changed my play a lot, experimenting with a lot of different lines postflop which seem to be working, don't really want to post more in the thread because a lot people I play against actually read this ha.
Played mostly 50nl, then 2 hours of 100nl tonight which went really well. Graph since last update;
Also managed to cash in supernova freeroll for $300, and have 95k fpps so should get a 1.6k bonus tomorrow. I think I'm going to withdraw that 1.6k and stick it on FTP so I can clear the deposit bonus.
My bankroll is currently at an all time high of 10.4k, which is completely unneccesary to keep online given i'm playing 100nl, but interest rates are crap and I'm not going to degen it at 1knl anytime soon so going to leave it be for a while.
Contemplating keeping my ftp screename secret, haven't made a decision yet, but feel I get in unnecessary levelling spots against regs who I know. Mind you, a few off them definitely level themselves worse vs me so maybe I should tell them who I am
I'll post some funny hands because they're funny and don't really want to put too many thought processes in the thread;

Life
Haven't really done anything interesting lifewise over past week. Played two football matches and won, actually managed to miss an open goal from three yards (stupid bobbly grass pitches) but also got a rabona assist so balances out the miss haha.
Watched Arsenal play unbelievably dire against Man United and listened to the inevitable chourus of ******s calling for Wenger out, really gets on my nerves how often that happens now days.
My degree is actually getting a tiny bit harder but also more interesting, so will probably be putting more hours into that now which obviously takes up poker time, but sacrifices have to be made Will hopefully have a more interesting week next week.
Gl all.
I've put in a lot of volume since last update, and been running very good. Have definitely changed my play a lot, experimenting with a lot of different lines postflop which seem to be working, don't really want to post more in the thread because a lot people I play against actually read this ha.
Played mostly 50nl, then 2 hours of 100nl tonight which went really well. Graph since last update;
Also managed to cash in supernova freeroll for $300, and have 95k fpps so should get a 1.6k bonus tomorrow. I think I'm going to withdraw that 1.6k and stick it on FTP so I can clear the deposit bonus.
My bankroll is currently at an all time high of 10.4k, which is completely unneccesary to keep online given i'm playing 100nl, but interest rates are crap and I'm not going to degen it at 1knl anytime soon so going to leave it be for a while.
Contemplating keeping my ftp screename secret, haven't made a decision yet, but feel I get in unnecessary levelling spots against regs who I know. Mind you, a few off them definitely level themselves worse vs me so maybe I should tell them who I am
I'll post some funny hands because they're funny and don't really want to put too many thought processes in the thread;
