Hello
My name is Ülari and I am from Estonia. I discovered poker for myself back in 2006. Started from freerolls and busted BR many times until I discovered free poker money. I am sure that to some point I blowed it all up, but I still managed to stay in the game somehow. I didn't know any poker theory or what hands should I play. So I started learning littlebit. As a result I managed to maintain steady BR increase and moved up to NL100 for a short time. Main game were NL25FR. Good 500k hands I was very little winner and big swings did hurt my head and mindset. As a result I have never been very good volume grinder. 30k hands per month is very near to max. Results started to show after I used coach for a month with profit deal. Hourly rate would have been crazy for me, so profit deal with 30k hands were best for me. Since 2006 to 2011 I earned around 5-6k€ with bonuses. This shows that I lacked constancy and volume. Basically I stoped playing in 2011. Maybe few sessions in 10 years. In that period (2006-2011) I switched to many formats but never mastered any of them. HU, HUSNG, Hyper HUSNG, 9-man SNG, 50/50 and so on. I played it all but never at the same time. MTT is only format that I have avoided because I can't stand to sit on computer more than few hours. That it for prologue.
After x-mas 2021 little more than a week ago I discovered little money on one of my pokeraccounts. I also checked pokerstars and there were also around 40$. I had problems with cashout but eventually it was solved.
So after x-mas I started playing with 16€ I found on GG.
I worked on some microstakes play because 10 years is very long time and usually people forget some even simplest things.
As a result for my 2021 poker year I managed to get my bankroll in GG from 16€ to ~50€ playing NL2 shorhanded cashgame.
I cant post pics so I just write it down. 9000 hands and 35$ profit.
New year started with 2 suprises. First I got my pokerstars cashout finally 25€. I moved it to Olybet (GG) and started playing. After few tables had opened I checked lobby for day before leaderboard bonuses. I assumed around 0,5$ or something. My eyes almost poped out when I saw 84$ on my account waiting. at 31.12.2021 I had won some money with BadBeat flipout promo. For NL2 grinder its 40BI
So I moved up to NL5. I have played now few days and first negative run is stabilized and turned to right direction. With that said, today I won again some mone with the same BadBeat flipout promo. This time ~44$. As a result after moving BR to one room I have managed to get my bankroll from 16€ to 224$. Shortly Its time to move up again.
Why I started to playing again? I just thought its better use of my time than watching TV or playing Farming Simulator ♦
My goal is to move up few steps and maintain positive winrate. Endgoal is to be able to get around 300-500€ per month from poker. Its not very ambitious goal, but I am no pro and still have daily job.
Good luck
