Winners never quit, and quitters never win - yet another wannabe
I've decided to share my poker journey here!
About me:
I'm 21 y/o, I live in one of the Baltic states, and I play poker full time for a few months now. I used to be a high level athlete - I competed for National team, made TOP 15 in World Junior Championships, but I quit last year because it was too big of a gamble to go all in there. I wasn't far from going Pro tho. I had already dropped out from Uni because I was away most of the time.
I decided to go full time on poker since here I don't need much to live like a baller - 2k/month is more than enough. Most people with degrees make 700-1k/month here.
Many people say that I'm bright minded and University would just be wasting my time. There is veery small chance of me doing 8-17 in shitty job.. It's just not for me.
Poker background:
Started in home games. I sucked.
Tried online. I sucked.
Played like 150k hands at NL5 w/ w/r of 14bb/100. I sucked.
Quit poker for a while.
Started again with 20$ on PS. Now I'm at NL50 on iPoker. I suck.
This is how 20$->NL25 shot looks like
All time Stars graph:
Since moving to iPoker on December 2014.
Current situation:
I play poker as my only income. I play 30-40h/week. Goal for April was 50k hands. I don't play speed/zoom, since I find more value on regular tables. I only do 6max cash games, and 30% of my volume (and 65% of winnings) comes from HU. I have a roll for NL50, but I procrastinate a lot and do almost all of my volume in NL20 limit (both EUR and GBP tables).
Goals:
1) Play poker for living next 1-2 years and get up to at least NL400, and live a baller life style.
2) Save up monies and get into IT business.
3) Become a real Rock'n'rolla!
I don't expect anyone to read this.
Good luck!
