Hey guys! I'm Alinuss7, a 21 years old from Romania, studying abroad in Germany. I play poker as a hobby, every weekend together with my cousin. We play microstakes MTTs. After weeks of playing and not doing so well, I finally got a win on saturday in the BB 3,30 for 1,6k. Here is my sharkscope :

That was a hell of a feeling and I hope I will do well also in the future. My question is: should I invest in poker? I was thinking about Holdem Manager 2 or so. It is worth it regarding the fact that I don't play so many tournaments per week? Will a HUD help me improve my game?

Thanks in advance!

Only you should be able to answer this question. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands to play and study I wouldn't recommend it. It sounds like you've enjoyed playing as a hobby, so if I were you I'd withdraw most of it and play with the rest. But if you want to take poker more seriously you need to be extremely patient.

nice win. How long have you been playing online for ? I didn't get my first 'big win' (1k+) until 3ish years in.

Exactly one year ago I started playing almost every weekend. Usually I deposit on friday 10$ and start from there So, I would say one year. Before that I played just for fun and 1-2 tournaments every couple of weeks or something like that.

@Alias750 Thanks!Do you use Holdem Manager? Did it make a difference?

First, cash out about a grand or so and spend it on something you enjoy
Second, get a tracking program, never sure of the true value of these when playing donkaments as it'll be hard to get a good sample size on opponents given the nature of donkaments, but for your own analysis it'll help
Third, keep doing right what you're doing right, except now with a bigger roll that can give you more confidence to handle variance

I apreciate your answer! What kind of tracking program do you use or do you suggest?

I don't play online. The main two have trials, see which one you like after using both and buy it
