Hello all,
Up till now if been mostly reading specific topics on 2+2 a few times a week and have never posted. Also have i been listening to the pokercast for the last 2 years. I also read most of the books published by 2+2.
Beyond that, im new to this site.
I ve been active on some smaller forums, but never a regular.
I ve played alot of MTT's both live(100+) and online (6000+) and also atleast 200K hands cash ranging from 10NL to 400NL over the last 4 years. I ve had succes in both live and online, but never enough to reallysustain myself/make life changing money, mainly thanks to bad BRM and spending habits.
An honest estimate of the amount ive made in al form of poker in the last 4 years would be: 130K. I had fun spending it and had less fun paying the tax man when i didnt have much left. I finally have low expenses, so it is a new chance to create a decent roll.
I ve also played atleast 1500 HU SNG's lifetime with moderate succes. Right now im broke (again) and decided/concluded the only structural grind i think i can enjoyable make a living at are HU SNG's. Especially interviews with Livb112 have inspired me recently to really make an effort to sustain a grind.
Also HU poker is the purest form of poker (yes SNG less so) and this will most likely make me a better player and give the most "honest" results.
To motivate myself extra and to discus hands at a good level i hope to use this tread alot and post daily.
Im really gonna start at the bottom and play 21$ non turbo HU's. Right now i have 1000$ online. Especially while playing <105$ ill use a BRM with a minimal of 20 buyins and move up at 50 buyins. For now i plan on playin 20 to 35 /day, to get into the grind. As long as i can beat the HU-SNG <105$ at stars and ftp (mainly) ill stick to these two sites.
Im not asking for advice concerning my choice of format or volume, just support and feedback on hands.
If this is not the right forum to post this, plz let me know what is. TY!
Thank you all!
