hey 2+2.
Iīm a former poker player from Germany. Played between 2006 and 2011, 1 year full time as a grinder with multiple 6 digits. Played up to nl1000 shottaking, regular game was nl400 on stars. <3 the golden days...
Found a girl, got married, 2 kids and going full pro longer than the year wasnt possible. For me girl it was ok, but couldnt stand it mentally. Not the swings and loosing money, more that the mental aspect (tilt) influenced my general mood and my family life. Used poker as a nice side income and quit after graduated and started my job.
Corona got me back. Working for the governance my salary and job is 100% safe, but volume got reduced. Nice ^^ Much time to fill in the office. Got back, opened an account at GG poker and tried everything. Damn, things have changed. Tried everything new (spins wtf) but was bored. Even the All in or Fold Tabled with huge swings and the slots (dumb me)... Nothing made me happy. Itīs not about the moneyz, itīs about mastering one type of game, getting better, progressing, climbing up the limits...
Will go for PLO. 0 Experience and a 250 bankroll. Will start at plo5 (buyin with 50bb so 100 stacks) and climb up asap. My wife and me both got well payed jobs, moneys doenst matter that much for us. Living the good live, but weīre both very economical with a huge saving rate and stuff like that.
Iīm into cars, atm I`m driving a Leon Cupra station waggon with 300hp and enough space for the fam. Want to replace it with something bigger. Maybe Kodiaq RS or draming of an Audi RS6 <3. Could easily step into a car dealer and buy one, but thatīs not the way it works. Is spending 50-80k for a new car rlly neccessary when the old car gets the job done as well? Thatīs why poker is there
Thatīs some kind of "play" money for me, spending it for unclever stuff without regretting it too much. If things get well plo will pay a part of my new car
cheers
