Hi guys,

I'm another Spanish guy whitout job who discovered poker about a year ago and started playing and studying it seriously 6 months ago.

I started without no much idea, following some preflop ranges and standard postflop lines. I wasn't aware of how variance can be, I didn't know how to properly manage bankroll nor when to climb up to the next stake so I thought I was a pro and moved from nl2 to nl50 (always SH) in about 20k hands lol






I was playing preflop vpip/pfr/3b 30/24/10 and postflop wwsf/w$sd 52/46.

Then the regs started making adaptations and I became break even, then looser but I runned pretty well (won all the flips and bad beated people, it was insane) I didn't loose any money but when I realized It was not so easy I moved down to nl5 and switched the 100bb to the 40bb.

I couldn't win there, people was totally overaggressive raising cbets with MP and TP without kicker.

I gave up for a while and tryed looking for a job but it was very complicated to find it so i finally took poker back. This time I started at nl50 with my own preflop ranges and 40bb. I was winner for a small sample, then even, then looser again.

I went to zoom25 and I was even or slightly winner (playing aggressively with wwsf/w$sd 51/50. Someday I decided to try with 100bb (thinking of the rake and fishes) I made a new preflop strategy, a lot ofo hours playing with CREV and I moved to nl50.

This were the results:



My game was not really bad. I was playing better than before preflop 30/23/9 postflop 48/51 but I have some tilt issues. Couldn't manage totally well the downswings and made a lot of mistakes when tilted.

I worked on my mental game and this were the results (nov and dec 2016):



Now I'm trying to establish at nl100, finding it a lot harder than nl50 (.es pool):



Currently playing pre 28/21/9 post 48/51

I can do it, need to work a lot in my strategy and my mental game.

My little dream with poker is to live from it for a few years, travelling different countries and meeting new people with several cultures. I want to reach nl1k+, do you think I will?

Update

Even on the new stake. It looks like SD down but still tilt low focus and too many mistakes.

The upswing has come!

What should I expect?

Thinking about moving down to nl510

I did not stop

Great thread man eager to follow along. You seem to crush it. Really inspiring. What do you normally study? and do you have a coach?

Best of luck. Gonna be cool seeing you at HS

what sites?

Hi, I play pokerstars.es, maybe 5-10% of the volume has been played at 888.es
I dont have a coach. I study mainly reviewing my tagged hands

Thank you guys

man those wr's are insane. I am moving to spain as soon as i have a roll again.

I don't advise you to do so, nl200 is the top stake and you can barely play at nl400+. Moreover you should pay up to 50% of your winning in taxes with no benefit. I'm heading to Europe on september/october.

Regards

More info on this?

This is why Spanish Pros don't live in Spain. Really high taxes without social insurance or any other benefit. You are just winning the lotto to the government eyes.
