Hello Guys.

I'm 30 and I play poker from 2005(unprofessionally).
I usually play for fun but I love this game. I have couple of goals. I know that it sounds funny but first one is to learn perfect English language. Second one is to be semi/professional player. Why semi? because I have not bad job in the IT company in eastern Europe. My salary is OK , I have money for pay my bills and for normal live. My bad side is that I'm gambler. I could't control my game. Some times I spend a lot of money for poker-gambling. i don't want it any more that why I gonna start for very low stakes. I need to learn responsible gaming. All coaching movies, articles etc are in English. I really need good language to develop my real job skills. I decided that I need to start learn the language but I got idea to connect learn and my passion.

I want do play fast games, I haven't decided which poker room it gonna be.
Stakes will be around 5$/5e. I'm planning volume around 1-2h/day during the week and couple of more on weekend.

Enjoy.

Plan is easy :

__________________________________________________ ______________________

step down 20BI on lower level<---Start NL5 (20BI)--->step up - 20BI on higher level

__________________________________________________ ______________________

Volume around 15h per week

Hello everyone (i know it sounds like from the movie)

So..... I spent looong weekend playing poker. I tried to play 5 NL on the Poker Stars platform and what can I say - for me it is the most stressful limit in the world No way! I was on tilt after first half hour of play. I blocked sport betting option and from Sunday morning limits higher then 25 NL are blocked as well. I tried to play on NL 16/25/50/100 and I think that NL 16 is boring and to low. NL 25 is really OK. NL 50 is OK but stressful for me and on the end on NL 100 game level is to high for me. I beginning my story from 20 BI on NL 25 level. Like you see when I started to play higher limits then NL25 my red line and statistic (especially 3bet) went down. I feel really bad and uncomfortable play with 3 bet lover then 8.0 but on NL 100 limit my 3 bet pot skill is to low to play profitable.







I have question, I have DC membership do you know title of movies or series intended for ZOOM players?



Enjoy

Opt out of sports betting on stars and all the casino stuff may help you be less of a degen.

Don't get so flustered over how you've done often a session or two.

Maybe start posting some hands on here or in the micro nl forum.
