Quest to become full-time poker pro

Quest to become full-time poker pro

Greetings Everyone,

Plan is simple but hard to achieve 10k€ in the bank+bankroll and ~+2k$ income/monthly from poker.

After unexpected success in my first blog, where I succeed in making 1k$ profit in a month playing 25nl.
Wanted to continue keep myself accountable and have a good place for reflection.

In this blog I will be posting:
-Weekly updates (Result Graph,Sessions,RB,Interesting HH)
-Weekly goals and plans (upfront)
-Monthly updates
-Monthly goals and plans (upfront)

About me, I'm 26 year old male from Latvian and currently working full-time job(15days a month, 12h shifts). For now I'm playing 25nl PartyPoker Regular/Zoom tables and have a rakeback ~25%. In future might look into other options but for now I'm satisfied with 25nl pool of PartyPoker. Will be using aggressive bankroll management 20bi up with 2bi shots.


P.S. Will not end this blog until I achieve my goal, for how ever long it takes.

Thanks for reading.
Any feedback about how I played or thinks I could do better is much appreciated.

Its definitely changed to 20% max here in the UK as is shown on the Website

I thought the extra rakeback was provided by other parties like Universal Poker and some others


Week 19 Recap


Greetings,
Weeks was going pretty well, but on Sunday after not getting the best sleep and focusing too much on Rake-Back goals had a very terrible session. Big issue with this -575$ session was me thinking I can push trough this variance and can still perform to break-even/winning level which was very faulty logic and cost me more. Did handle this big loss surprisingly good and even played later that day, so I will try to take positives from that and shot-taking 100nl doesn't seem that scary after this session. In Future will cut my session length to 90min max. Also will focus more on routine and quality of play rather the volume. Also decent concern is other Regs getting their Rake-back cut short to 20% max... Canadians/Brazilians/UK.


Cash: -184,3$
RB: +125$
Total: -59,3$

Hero-Call #2:
HH5: Vs Sh**-Reg, my main reason for calling here was hin not value betting overpairs on this kinda scary run-out.

Max Greedy:
HH6: Vs Fish, Imo there are sets 2p and top pairs that can call here and I think fish under fold to triple barrels.

Nice Hand:
HH7: Vs Sh**-Reg, first instinct was to go all-in but then I started to think about what worse hands can he call here, imo not many so I decided to X/C.

Punt:
HH9: Was tilted with the unlucky session and felt as this Sh**-Reg was trying to outplay me... Still working on fixing my ''Revenge tilt", but this hand visualizes my mental leaks.

Biggest Bluff:
HH10: Vs Aggro Reg, this similar to last hands, but this one felt much better and I wasn't tilted during this session... He raised pretty fast and was very aggresive overall, so I like my play much better then last hand (Also have nice blocker lol).

Some positive message from other Reg:

(I guess action is drying up at 100nl and he want me to punt at 100nl, he did say play not win.)

Thanks for reading.
