Quarter Life Crisis

Oh and obviously I'll be running with the Get rich or die trying challenge!

Every Monday, every participant must write in his blog a weekly report, including:
- number of played hands / tournaments
- weekly bankroll movements in USD or EUR
- Current bankroll
- How many weeks he has participated in the promotion

Hi NathanDavidLee,

Welcome to the blogs and the Get Rich or Die Trying challenge!

Your post didn't sound bitter to me at all. Actually, I thought it was quite inspiring.

Best of luck with your goal on and off the tables!

What kind of games are you planning to play for your challenge?
SNG’s, tournaments and/or cash games.

Further I wish you good luck as well with your challenge

Cheers,
SDK1987

I'll mostly be playing a mix of cash and smaller MTT's

Cash games I'll be grinding the Zoom tables.

Currently bankrolled for NL10 and have hit gold status for the past 2 months with the volume I've been putting in. This is last month.

I don't like to focus on EV too much, but as you can see I was running well below that last month.

Here's my week so far. Had a nice session yestderday.

1st Week of June

Week 1 of Get Rich of Die Trying

Total Tracked Cash Hands: 8780 (NL10 Zoom) + $6.89
Played a few hands on the phone app that weren't tracked on HM2
Starting Bankroll : $213.25
Current Bankroll : $232.89
Total Profit : $19.64

Should be able to grind out a $75 gold status bonus along with a $50 stellar rewards this month. So should be comfortably in the $300 area by July

Volume was terrible last week...but mainly because I was in Amsterdam for three days...definitely a good enough excuse

What have you done in Amsterdam?
The last time I was there I was to the Artis ZOO.

The pictures are a little bit small, but luckily if I click on it it’s better to see. If you drag you’re screenshot in the post-window it will be automatic uploaded and on the right format.

Further you need to check the options if you change you’re signature again. Now the link isn’t working.

To be honest, all I did in Amsterdam was sample the numerous coffee shops.

But this was our view next to the canal:

Lovely bit of photography if I do say so myself.

Thanks for the tips with the formatting! Still new to consistently posting on the forums.

It looks a lot better know with you’re picture

I newer checked any coffee shop in any Dutch town or city where I ever was.
I don’t like drugs at all. Hopefully it was fun at least to check that out.

Hey good luck for your challenge. You seem to be quite motivated and harworker (based on your introduction).
So good luck again.

Thanks Ray

I think you can put Weed in the same category as Alcohol...I think it's ridiculous to criminalize it. Government would make far much more money through Taxing the drug and would eliminate the 'Gateway Drug' element from a lot of people who buy from dealers who then offer them Class A's.

Having a really difficult week with poker. Had a MASSIVE swing across the last 10k hands and have to subsequently move down to NL5...which is okay. But means that it's going to take a while to get back to the $250 area.

Just a little update.

Grinding away to that $50 stellar upgrade and staying strong on Gold status. Volume last week was a bit weak, this was because I was playing a lot of 1/2 live at the Hippodrome in London. Had some fantastic results and I'm up around £1100 for the week. Not really in line with my bankroll management as I'm sitting down with £300 a time hah, but the field is extremely soft on a Thursday & weekend evening.

Feeling that life is moving in the right direction recently.

-Me and the GF are planning on getting a mortgage in the next 2/3 years down in Broadstairs Kent Very grown up
-Had two acting auditions this week, one for a commercial which I've been recalled for and pencilled in...I'll be flown out to Budapest for three days if I'm successful with my recall tomorrow, to shoot for 3 days.
-Played cricket with Damien Lewis (homeland/Bandofbrothers) and Iain Glenn (game of thrones) at Lords Cricket ground...hit 86 hitting 6 sixes. (only british people will appreciate this.)

Also had a great session this evening at NL10 bringing my Bankroll up to $362

P.S - What software do people use to post hands? Got a few I'd like to share and discuss.

Nice, do you got any pictures with them to share ♦

I see you are using HM2. In it when you right click on a hand you have View option. It will open a new window with the hand and there on the bottom right select PokerStrategy format and after you click the Copy to clipboard button all you need is to paste it here on the forum

PS: please don't forget to update your weekly evolution here: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=326222&page=40
