I've been following your posts for weeks now.

I live in a third world country with similar circumstances and goals, except I must take care of other responsibilities until next summer, before I can begin putting in the hours. I hope I can do half as much as you!

With your incredible work ethic and careful execution, there's no doubt in my mind that within 2015, you'll be able to support your grandma. As corny as it might sound, you made me believe. Don't turn me away when I come to you for coaching!

Best of luck, and please persist.

However you seem to be in control of all this so I trust you will make good choices when it comes to that .
hey there and thanks. those few days that i didnt play i studied 6max to see what kind of adjustments i should make. my stats look like this

Hey man your post made me very happy.

As long as you have a roof above your head and food to eat there is no excuse to not chase your dreams. There are 7 billion people in the world, so you can be 100% sure that many of them achieved their goals beeing in even worse circumstances, and many of them even had harder goals and less talent, less luck, and lower IQ than you or me, and still made it. So our only reason to not succeed is to not work hard enough, and we can make sure that does't happen.

if you struggle with 2nl or 5nl i can teach you the few things i know in poker for free

Gogogo!!

You give very good points about work ethic / attitude. We can only achieve so long as we put in the effort. Your words, photos, and (most importantly) actions are inspiration. Keep up the hard work! I have no doubt you'll accomplish anything you set your mind to with the attitude you have.

Fwiw, 6max is the way to go. Tougher(ish) players, but more hands = more opportunities to exploit our edges.

Are you going to adjust your BR requirements because of the switch from full ring to 6max? Still 100 buyins?

Thanks man i am happy to hear that.

Yeah i enjoy 6max more now that i got used to it.

For now i will keep the same rules with bankroll management, but maybe in the future i will change them.

26/18 over how many hands? I'd be more interested in his post flop stats (Flop donk% and 3barrel%) when deciding what to do. As played, I fold river as well

When a passive player with this gap donkbet 3way I think its for value only AT nl10 ..
I would call two streets because the board is
Dry enough and we win some weaker pairs, ax's
But for sure I'm folding pot bet river...

Hi guys. Sorry but i couldnt update because of real life reasons.

Bankroll: 1601.53 $ (got 50$ stellar reward + 75$ fpp reward)

10nl is going fine, but i could put in more volume. playing mostly 6max and some FR.

Maybe at 2000$ i will give 25nl a 10buy in shot

sick grinder bro. GL

Read some things about "getting a coach", dont know if u did it or not or still thinking about doing it. My opinion is dont do it
U can easily beat atleast nl10/25 without any coach for sure : ) gl again

Hey guys, month is over. highest winning month for me so far, but i am gonna try making november even better

Almost reached 500$ but for some reason i had this great idea to try zoom and lost some money there.

I am gonna try my best to have 2000$ as soon as possible to move up to 25nl.

I read all 10 pages in half hour and i'm really happy that all the things are going really well for you , nice thread.
You said on one of your first pages that with 1000$ a moth poker can be your main income of money , so what are your plans of that ? I gues 25Nl will be the ending line and strat cashing out from there or ?
Good luck man
