Hi, A short introduction: I'm a 25yo male that works fulltime and goes to the gym 6days/week. In my (almost no) spare time I'm playing poker. I used to play SNG's (up to $15 180s) & MTT's (up to $33) and I did make some decent profit last year even though I only played for about 1/2 year and had a 5k downswing (from wich I recovered). Since august I started playing zoom because I love/need the freedom. I started @ NL10, had some struggles, worked my way up to NL25 and seemed to beat it. But in October I made a promotion at my job and I didn't have any motivation left to play poker. I started playing again since February The goal: Having fun and making profit. I really love the pokertheory and the psychology/mental aspect. I would like to climb up in stakes and see where I can get with my limited amount of time. The current goal is to get fast at NL25 and then take it slow and have patience. The starting point: Started at 10NL again. It went bad for the first couple K's of hands. Then it went extremely well. I had a shot @ NL25 today but failed miserably so tomorrow I'm back at 10NL. I still have a roll of $600 so it's all good The study plan: Books (+- 20min/day) - Applications of NLHE - Will Tipton books about HU - Jared Tendler books - The Mathematics of Poker (delayed) Videos: - Live session video (2/week) - Concept video (1/week) - Yale and Standford free courses of GTO (delayed untill at NL25) Pokertracker: - Study frequent spots: BTN & BB spots (highest VPIP + different concepts: OOP vs IP) = warming up before every session 5-10 marked hands deep analysis - Review biggest spots 3 spots wednesday + 3 spots thursday - Review marked hands 5 marked hands monday + 5 marked hands tuesday Pokerstars: - Max 2 zoom tables 1 hour a day -> Focus on thought process and handreading (+interesting lines) -> Focus on note taking + marking + tagging important/clueless hands - rest of grind up to 4 zoom tables (around 8-12h a week pbb in total) Blog 'rules' - It's a poker blog. Please don't ask me about my personal life. If you have questions about how I train at the gym you may add me as a friend. - I decide wheter I update or not. In my previous blogs I sometimes felt pressured to update if I didn't post for a couple of days .. that's no fun - You can ask anything you want about poker (inc. graphs / results / ...) as long as you respect the rule above - Discussing hands is very much approved ! Let's learn from eachother - People who want to discuss poker on skype, just message me. Be aware, I only want people that are serious and are at least on the same level as me so we can learn from eachother. I speak english and dutch. For players on a lower level: Don't take this the wrong way I just don't have time to 'teach', I did this a lot in the past when I had more time ... so sorry. But there are a lot of good videos on pokerstrategy so don't be sad
