Hello everyone,

Scoom here, 22 year old from Gibraltar.


A quick background information of myself, I started playing poker back in 2010/2011 where i was somewhat quite successful winning at 50-100nl etc, but around mid-2011 i quit playing and since then i have been trying to get back into playing seriously again. Unfortunately due to situations in life i have never been able to stay on track.

But here i am today, and I am not stopping now. I love playing poker and ever since i started playing i knew this is what i wanted to do and be successful at. I do not want to live a normal life and work 9-5 everyday on a job i dislike.

I have joined the coaching for profits program for BPC. This is my time now, I have to give it my all.

You will catch all my updates here.

I also have a youtube channel where i will post Videos/Vlogs of my progress too.

Hi Scoom, been a long time since I've seen you about, good luck and will be following!

Hey, thanks dude

have we met before btw? guessing you had another username since it says join date Aug 14 on that one!

Yup, I'll message you on Skype/FB next time you're online. Don't disappear on me again, get back on the grind!

Time for an update!

So the last few days i have been preparing and doing a lot of stuff before i start this program. I am currently working full time but i am working around how i can put in as many hours as possible into poker without tiring myself out. ( I do not want to feel tired everyday due to the insane grind.)

Weekly Goals:

Start eating a lot healthier. Cut down on a lot of **** food and sugars.
Go to the gym atleast 5 times a week.
Get atleast 7/8 hours a night sleep.

Poker Goals:

Turn a bankroll of $716 to $5000 by the end of 2014.
Be playing 100nl at the start of 2015.
Make $75k profit in 2015.
Play atleast one UKIPT Tournament in 2015.



For now i think i will start updating this blog everyday with my progress/results. And then do one big blog review of how my week went.

Also expect some videos/vlogs on my youtube channel where i will talk about poker or post any cool/real life stuff .



I started the program officially on the 18th. Started with 10nl and i will go up depending what my coach tells me to move up!

These are my last 3 days results





Bankroll: $805

Off to a good start!

Stay tuned!

Gogo, good start!

Sup guys!

So the last three days have gone not so great. I’ve had 2/3 days of stop losses and today being one of them which went horribly wrong and ended up -4 buy ins unfortunately. I was playing decent but i run into really bad luck in about 4-5 hands in a row of AA beat preflop all ins, KK vs AA, QQ vs AA, AK vs QQ etc .

But hey enough complaining .

Good news is that i have now have an official coach assigned to me, Mr Mike “Fooz” Gano, and i am extremely looking forward to working with him as i have only heard good things!

Will have my session with him tomorrow and i can’t wait to start!

From now on I shall update my results weekly. But ill keep posting my progress and any interesting hands/situations etc.

Also i will upload a vlog tomorrow, which will be pretty much a basic introduction of myself and how i got into poker + coaching for profits.



Peace out for now !

Coaching will make a big difference, especially as you've had a little time out of the game.

Subscribed, I am following a similar road, will be following you, best of luck!

thanks mate you too !

Hey y’all

Week Reflect:

Weekly Goals:

Start eating a lot healthier. Cut down on a lot of **** food and sugars. [Failed]
Go to the gym atleast 5 times a week. [Failed] (Injured my shoulder on monday so had to take days off)
Get atleast 7/8 hours a night sleep. [Failed]

So i pretty much failed all my weekly goals to start being a bit more healthier etc. Although i look physically fit i don’t maintain myself properly and that does really take a toll to your mind, pretty much felt a bit slugish and tired this week due to pretty much not getting enough sleep and excersize.

This week i managed to hit bankroll of $750 so i could move up to 25nl and take a 5 buy in shot, been going rather breakeven so far, But i feel comfortable.

Got my first coaching session with Fooz yesterday and he instantly managed to point out a few leaks, things to improve and homework to do that will help my game now and in higher stakes. Looking forward to our next session! I have tons more to learn from him and i am very happy.

Played for an hour session today but had quite a headache so decided to take a break and put in more hours tomorrow.



These are the results of my week so far,





Bankroll Update: $740

GL!

Yo!

I am gonna do results updates weekly and from now on i am gonna keep it every Sunday as my week will count as Monday-Sunday.

Yesterday went extremely well, i was super comfortable at the tables and on my A-Game, was rather lucky with cards too i must say , hopefully the run good keeps going and i move up as fast as possible!

These are my results yesterday @25nl ( surprised at my nonshowdown results)

Good to see you get a solid week in!

Nice week scoom!

Making me proud! heheh

Keep it up man, GL!

thanks boss

thanks man!

So September has come to an end and it has been quite an interesting month! I shall post a video about my results and thoughts on how it went tomorrow .For now i shall write down what my plans and goals are for October.

October Poker Goals:
Make $1k in profit and build the bankroll to $2k
Be shot taking 50nl.
Play atleast 150 hours.
Run like god. (fingers crossed )



Also since i am currently working a full time job and I have hardly had anytime for social stuff etc, I’ve literally only gone out like once the past 3 weeks. So this is something i want to improve on October and atleast go out at nights or do some sort of outside world activity haha I can maybe cut down one day off my schedule and play more hours on saturdays/sundays

On Tuesday i went to play paintball for the first time with my work mates ( the only time I’ve done somthing these weeks ) and it was a lot of fun! The actual organisers had even asked me if i wanted to join their team for a league that is coming out soon. Unfortunately i do not have any free time so its something i had to reject , Maybe in the future!



Peace out!

Good luck with the October goals!

1st Week of October Reflect:



So this week has been interesting, I’ve had both my biggest win day and also my biggest loss. ( $+265/ $-125 respectively). All in all it has been a decent week, I have improved a lot on my table selection . I’ve added a little bit more breaks into my session so i do not fall in to these “auto-pilot” mentality, which tends to be my biggest weakness at the moment. I tend to have 2-3 really good days and then feel overconfident at my game and make stupid hero calls or hero plays against regulars that i should never have been involved in the first place. STOP DOING REG BATTLES SCOOM!

Outside of poker, this week has been rather weird… I have been feeling rather sleepy each day, even tho i have been getting in 7-8 hours sleep each night. I tend to be tired around 15:00-18:00, I don’t know why around this time but i open to play a session and i just feel dizzy, normally take a nap and carry on later, But its something i need to find out the problem, I guess i need to start actually going to the gym already :P

Anywhoo

Here are my results of this week

Bankroll @ $1072

I get tired during the day, but I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm bored and my body is preparing for poker at night.

haha
