Poker, I've missed you. Can we try again?

Posted 7 years ago

Hi all,

Very few of you will know me already but I'll give a brief introduction.

I'm Alan, probably the youngest one in existence in fact at the age of 26. I've played poker since ~2006 on and off. Early years consisted of playing MTT's with decent success. After having a kid, I quit, came back a few times to play cash and had limited success. I was also under the stake here for a brief period playing 50nl on Microgaming.

Having not played for a couple years, I've been itching and feel in a good place to come back. However, I want to prove it to myself I'm able to stay disciplined and I've made the decision to start from the very bottom on my own accord, 4 tabling at 2NL on Pokerstars zoom tables.

4/5 days and 32,929 hands later, I've made a profit of $62.75 showing a bb/100 of 9.53. I then decided yesterday to move up to 5NL and as I'm typing this I've got in 10,696 hands showing a $43.96 profit and a bb/100 of 8.22. It's easy to create a thread when I'm winning but make no mistake I'm under no illusions and completely ready to drop back down whenever I find the need to.

Anyone who has Twitch.tv may have seen my stream pop up as I've streamed my sessions each day for the most part under 'AbstruseAlan'. I welcome anyone to come along and watch and interact with me along my journey. ( https://www.twitch.tv/abstrusealan )

I work between 3pm-3am roughly each Monday-Thursday so most of my play/stream will be around then.

I'm always interested in hand or strategy discussion and will reply to anyone who asks my view on any in this thread Smile

Good luck.

Hello Kaotic!
I play at the same limits so when I have some time, I'll watch your stream since you are smashing those games. I am still struggling there. Smile
Good luck!

Interesting thread Smile I would suggest that you don't spend too long "proving" you can beat 5nl. Best thing to do is to try and get up to 25nl ASAP where you can improve while playing and make some better money. Ag reason people want to prove they are disciplined or can beat 2-5nl is because they want to make it easy for themselves and create a barrister about playing higher.

Best of luck, hope to see you crushing 50nl soon Smile

Hold up Kaotic as in Kaotic?

Good to see you Smile

Just went to your twitch stream - make sure you tick for your streams to be saved as I couldn't watch any previous ones when I checked it out
