¿Es el poker profesional un trabajo?
Estaba repasando estrategias, viendo algunos blogs y me tope con la "Rifa de bloggeros"!
No se que tan bien se me dara esto, pero hace tiempo quiero comenzar un hilo interesante.
Contare un poco mi "Estado Actual".
Estoy viviendo en el extrangero, con mi compañera, viajando y trabajando, si... Trabajando, asi le llamo hoy a "Jugar al poker".
Asi lo siento, tengo horarios, metas que cumplir diarias, estudiar para mantenerme al dia, y siempre hay algo nuevo cada semana para mantenerme a flote.
Mi bankroll es bajo, ademas debo extraer para gastos generales.
En el proximo blog comentare detalles de metas objetivos para este mes.

Is professional poker a job?
I was reviewing strategies, browsing some blogs, and I came across the "Blogger Giveaway"!
I don't know how good I'll be at this, but I've been wanting to start an interesting thread for a while.
I'll share a little about my "Current Status."
I'm living abroad with my partner, traveling, and working—yes... Working, that's what I call "Playing Poker" these days.
That's how I feel about it. I have schedules, daily goals to meet, studying to stay current, and there's always something new every week to keep me afloat.
My bankroll is low, plus I have to withdraw for general expenses.
In the next blog, I'll share details about my goals and objectives for this month.

Let's Do This!

I'll post now. I already have a complete, new schedule for Full Grind.
I'll be playing at ACR Poker.
My schedule is as follows:
Play: 32 hours Tuesday - Wednesday / Friday and Saturday
Study: 8 hours Monday and Thursday
Thought Process Drill Under Pressure (Thursday)

This equates to about 8 hours of play per day and 4 hours of study, 8 hours per week.
As far as I know, this would allow me to earn the extra $50 weekly Beast! bonus.

And the level strategy is:
Mid Stack 50bb
20 - 30 Stack 10NL
12 - 22 Stack 25NL
11- 22 Stack 50NL
11- 20Stack 100NL

To participate, do I have to post in this blog thread? The Bankroll Challenge 2025 - Sign Up
Thanks!

Grinding with Purpose: Structure, Struggles, and Small Wins 💪♠️

Hey everyone!

Just dropping in with an update from the grind! I’ve finally built a structured weekly plan to go all-in on this poker journey — not just volume-wise, but also mentally and strategically.

🎯 The Schedule
Right now, my weekly routine looks like this:

🃏 Play: 32 hours/week (Tues–Wed & Fri–Sat) – aiming for 8h/day

📘 Study: 8 hours/week (Mon & Thurs) – focused on leaks, reviews & hand ranges

🧠 Thought Process Drill every Thursday under pressure situations

Let me be honest: it’s been tough. Getting to 8 hours of focused play a day isn’t easy. So far, I’ve hit 6 hours and that already feels like a solid achievement. Step by step! 🐾

But the cool thing? I’m starting to apply what I study — and it’s working! I'm seeing how theory connects with real action, even against decent regs and unpredictable recreational players. That feeling of “aha! I studied this spot!” is 🔥

💼 Strategy Breakdown
I’m running a 50bb mid-stack strategy, adjusting my volume across stakes as follows:

20–30 buy in of 10NL

12–22 buy in of 25NL

11–22 buy in of 50NL

11–20 buy in of 100NL

All of this is being tracked toward unlocking that weekly $50 Beast! bonus. A nice little passive boost just for sticking to the grind.

So yeah, it’s been a bit of a battle with consistency and energy, but I’m in this for the long game — and little by little, it’s coming together. 💪

Cheers to all the other challengers out there! Are we supposed to post in the main thread to join the Bankroll Challenge officially? Let me know 🙏

See you at the tables!

Weekly Update – The Beast, NL10 and Traveling through Brazil

Yesterday, Friday, The Beast – the cash race promotion at ACR Poker – came to an end. Luckily, I finished in the money! 🎉 That adds $50 USD to the bankroll, always a nice boost. 💸

Right now I’m playing NL10 tables, both 6-max and 9-max, and taking a few shots at NL25 (9-max) to test the waters. 😎

Overall, I’m seeing two main player profiles: tight regs and loose aggressive regs, pretty clearly defined. Adapting to each one is crucial to stay ahead.

📉 This week has been a bit tough, but I did manage to increase my volume, averaging around 6 to 8 hours of play per day. I didn’t study much, though, so this coming week I’ll dive deep into hand reviews.

⚠️ I’m also having a problem with PokerTracker 4 – it’s not reading my hands. That puts me at a disadvantage since most regs probably already have a good read on my style. 😅 Definitely something I need to fix soon!

🗺️ This upcoming week will be intense. I want to grind hard because next week I’ll be traveling again. We’re road-tripping through Brazil, heading up along the coast. Between stops, I usually lose about a day and a half of play, and those weeks are always tougher for getting a paid spot in The Beast.

📸 Once I learn how to upload pictures to the blog, I’ll definitely share some shots from the journey.

Good luck everyone, and see you at the tables! 💪♠️
