Hey all!
I'm a lowstakes mtt reg and longtime lurker of this forum. I'm currently living in Spain and playing on the shared es-pt-fr player pool, although I have been working a job in real life, so I haven't put in the greatest volume this year. However, yesterday was my last day of work until after summer so that all changes! I will be looking to put in 1200mtts over the next 2 months, and I'm making this thread in the hopes of:
1. Providing me external motivation to study / grind.
2. Put myself out there in the poker world, and perhaps look to move to a poker house next year.
3. Make some friends who play poker! All the friends I have think I'm crazy
So, a little about me:
- I started playing regularly around 2013, and that lasted until early 2016. I was playing almost exclusively mtts on the global pool. Here's my graph from this time.
I stopped playing from 2016 until early this year, because I had some responsibilities (boooooo). However, again now I have none
Since I moved to Spain I have been playing part time for the past 3 months to supplement my income, and enjoying it a lot. Here are my results so far, I'm also up 300eur on 888.es but I haven't opted in to SS as of yet:
So, my poker plans for this summer:
1. Play 500mtts / month (4 days a week)
2. Study once a week
3. Treat this like my job. That means making the time, sticking to my schedule and making a real effort to improve my game.
My current BR is
1500eur, so I will playing an AVBI of
5eur.
As for life goals, I'm currently making a real effort to be as social as possible. Luckily, living in Barcelona makes that real easy! I've gotten my Spanish to a point that I'm comfortable living here and I have made some wonderful friends. Meeting new people never hurts though so I will set a goal of going to meetups and other events at least once a week as well.
I plan on updating every monday, once a week.
Also, if anyone is on the es-pt-fr player pool and interested in discussing hands or studying through skype let me know!
Ty for reading and GL everyone!
