Hello everyone,

I'm starting a poker journey (again) and will try to blog about it regularly. I'm a 30-year-old from Bosnia, been dabbling in poker for a good 10 years, but this time, I'm going all in (pun intended) with a solid plan.

I kicked off with $1000 a few days ago and I'm already sitting at $1085. My aim? Hit $6000.

Quick background: I've played poker on and off, but now I'm serious about it. Got a buddy coaching me(he is playing mid and high stakes).
I am currently grinding NL10 at PokerStars. Midterm goal is NL50 in one year.

Work Ethic Goals:

Watch a RunItOnce video daily to up my game.
Do 2 coaching sessions a week with my friend.
Break down 5 tricky hands daily using GTO+ for better decision-making.

Lifestyle Goals:

Start waking up early and make it a habit.
Throw some fitness into the mix. Yeah, I'm currently at a solid 0 on the fitness scale.
Working from home can be a challenge, but I'm determined to make this a winning combo for both poker and life.

I'll be keeping you in the loop with regular updates. Feel free to drop your thoughts and tips

Quick update about my progress:

Currently sitting at $1230 post rakeback:

I had one interesting spot yesterday:

PokerStars - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG): 167 BB
MP: 100 BB
CO: 98.5 BB
BTN: 106 BB
SB: 174 BB
BB: 160.4 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K:spade: Q:heart:

Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, CO calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) Q:diamond: K:heart: T:club:
Hero bets 2.4 BB, CO calls 2.4 BB

Turn: (12.3 BB, 2 players) 9:club:
Hero checks, CO bets 11.7 BB, Hero calls 11.7 BB

River: (35.7 BB, 2 players) 4:heart:
Hero checks, CO bets 45 BB, fold

CO wins 34.1 BB
Rake paid 1.6 BB

Not sure if my fold was too nitty, but vilian was pretty passive before. He should have decent amount of Jx in his range.

Impressive results, got any tips how to play nl10? I'm micro stakes grinder myself, and in nl5 I'm able to win something but in nl10 my chips just start disappearing, like it would be totally different game.

IMO, at microstakes riverbets/raises are underbluffed. I dont have any data to prove it, but that is the feeling I got.
Also my results are not that impresive anymore.
I lost like 5 BI from the last graph:

Ah thanks. Once I was 4-6tabling FLHE 6max even when with a monitor, with laptop I prefer less tables. I want to be able to play anywhere with just a laptop.
