Hello guyzzz,

Its been a while that i think about launching my PGC thread for keeping motivation and enthusiasm.

About me, Im a 21yo Belgian "student", im a netflix and movie lazy lover, and i f****ng like to listen music of every kind as long as they are inspiring, motivational and happy af

I like the snow 1 week a year when its about skiing in french mountains but for the rest of the year, the sun is my cup of tea despite he isnt really present in my country

Thats why i like to travel, discovering other countries / other cultures is for me one of the key for an happy life. I cant imagine me working in a belgian office 340 days a year

About poker, im playing since a year. I firstly played small volume in NL2z not really took it srsly, mixed it with crazy BRM mtt/satellite sessions, I knew some big binks and stuff but the luck was way more higher than the skill

Since september im in a bad phase with my studies, i realized that it will bring me into a boring 9 to 5 life into my cold grey Belgium for finally diying without living life like she should be lived. Dont cry! Fortunately, Im only 21yo and have enough time to make my dream a reality

So, in the beginning of 2018 i promised myself to take poker seriously cause its a real possibility to reach my life goal : financial and geographical freedom.

Well i guess its time to show some graph from 1st January until today.

NL5z graph



NL10z graph



got different run in those two stakes but there is a good volume to come in 10NL.


My poker goal is mainly to become a good midstakes grinder. When i will have 5bb/100 in 100z on a large sample i will have time to think about new goal but until that, i have a lot of time and tons of work. But if i put volume, work, motivation i hope to reach this goal for Spring 2019.

by the side i also want to maintain this thread updated, for keeping motivation, making new friends and maybe inspiring people one day


Goal for the first month of the thread:

- 100k hands in 10NLz
- 7ev BB
- Never more than 2 zoom tables
- Read the mental game of poker from jared tendler (tome 1)
- keep this thread updated after every session
- be transparent by sharing speww, interesting hands, funny hands
- Share a music that i like at every update
- meditating at least 10min a day

I have until 26march for making this sh** a reality



Ciaooo

GL brudda,

100k hands at two tables is 200 hours without study, seems a bit unrealistic if you’re at uni / working.

While poker is a way to freedom remember that someone has to lose, so be prepared and have a plan if it doesn’t work out. Hope you stick around though, GL

Tyyy mate

Well im still not really putting any works in my university stuff, i put my main time into poker, just have a small job the saturday for having monthly income for my uni flat.

With 7-8h daily grind and maybe just only 2-3 the saturday, its not impossible to do in term of volume i think. Let see if i can do it

ty again and glglgl

Here we go for a first update! Ended up this 9h grind/roller coaster day with 4k hands. if i can keep this volume the 100k hands monthly goal volume should be respected. felt a bit bored by 2 tablingzzz per moment but its okay, less volume/h but better focus.

Another song of the day


Cya guyz and gl all

Hi, as a fellow belgian I definitely will be following!

I absolutely get your feeling about that boring 9to5 job and if you already think it will be a burden you should start looking for alternatives while you can. I didn't and regret it already (only been working for 5months now...)

ps:what area are you from?

Hey, tyyy, im from Namur (Namen if u re from the dutch side) & u?

Yeah def cant live 9to5, and at the moment, Poker is the sweetest alternative i can find, not the easiest i can agree but if people can reach NL100z and beat it, why not me? I will put time and work.

I am living in Ghent, so not really close by...

I hope you are right because I am aiming for 200nl Though with the limited time I have this will take a long time
If you succeed get out of Belgium asap, taxes will eat your profits

gl

No worries about getting out of belgium, got some east asian countries in my aim

Day 3 update for the monthly challenge of 7bb ev 100k hands in NL10z

Pretty sick day, didnt had the run ( set over set and other classic cooler), some hard speew, but some gift from space for balancing this mix

Will have to put more hours in this book from jared tendler. Mental game isnt on point.




Hands of the day:

Decided to only show speew, few funny hands, and constructive spots. today had some cooler but think useless to show set over set or DP over DP gii flop.


Hand 1: Happy with my play there, before i was used to reshove flop (for making fold bluff and be called only by set, u see?)
