Hey everyone,
Brief About Me:
I'm a 25 year old living in the Pacific Northwest. I've played Poker for about 2 years, focusing on primarily MTT's. I've had ups and downs in my career, but the one thing I've always seen is that if you want to be successful in poker, you have to outwork everyone else. To be honest, I've fronted like I have that work ethic but I've never shown it. That'll change. I rent a house, which is my only cost at ~$900 monthly. I have no other bills. I also work for the State. The good thing about that is that I have a lot of flexibility as well as decent pay for a very simple job. I have the ability to study 2-4 hours DAILY at work, so that is the time I'll use to grind studying. I have a WONDERFUL girlfriend who makes 6fig's at 23 years old and lets me do whatever I want as long as I dedicate one day a week to her. That'll be my off day ;P
- In advance: I know I'm ugly and have a big head :P
My Poker Past:
As mentioned previously, I've played poker for around 2 years, with probably about 6 months of that being taken seriously. I've only found love with MTT's, but I am VERY emotionally attached to my results and that's something that I need to work on. I've reset my graphs on my other accounts for various reasons many times, but this time it'll be different. Here is my graph from when I took my poker serious. This was my time with ImaWhale.com. They're a great group, and I have nothing but positive things to say about them all-around. I've also sold probably $10,000+ in MTT entries through a massive Facebook Group.
My Dedicated Plan:
I really want to stick to a plan, and these "goals" are going to the absolute bottom of what I want to get done daily.
- One GENERAL workout daily (running, lifting, etc)
- One HOUR of study MINIMUM Daily
- No Studying = No Play that specific day
- When playing poker, complete focus on poker and poker ONLY.
These are things I must do daily in order to play poker those specific days. If I'm feeling lazy, I shouldn't reward myself with playing poker because odds are is that my play would be "lazy/****" as well.
Dedicated Poker Plan:
- $500 start on WPN - WPN ONLY.
- Strict BRM - 100 buy-ins required to fire specific MTT.
- Once $2,000 is met, $1,000 can be used to deposit on an additional site.
- Once $5,000 is met, $1,000 can be withdrawn for personal use.
- Once $10,000 is met, $1,000 can be withdrawn for personal use.
- Any balance as of 6/01/2018 will be used to sell a package for various MTT's @ WSOP.
Additional:
I've never really had a mentor or any coaching so all of my coaching is done through RYE, and personal review. I want to post a hand or two after EVERY session so any advice, coaching or reviews are appreciated. I would NEVER turn down a sweat session either. I want to grow, and I want to get better.
Any support is massive for me right now, thanks.
