I was thinking of just making a thread to track my record but whatever **** it, might as well make it more precised.
I've always had a dream of making playing games. When i was younger i was into competitive gaming because i thought could make a living out of it. Turns out that the money made from all the competitions were too little for a normal living.
1 day i was hanging out with my friends and 1 of them suggested playing poker, none of us really know hw to play, mostly we just knew the basic rules and stuffs. I was hooked from that moment. Bought some books and decided to learn how to play poker "properly". We will gather almost every weekend just to play poker thru the night. I really enjoy the game so much.
Gradually, i don't know how but i discovered online poker. I was instantly attracted to the idea of being able to play poker anytime from my own home. I thought to myself, "this could be the $$maker that i was looking for". I started making deposits of $50 to $100 to different sites and everytime i will bust my account no matter how high i ran it up to. There was once i deposited $50 and i ran it up to $900 in 1 night playing HUcash. The feeling was indescribable, really love it. Managed to lose it all the next morning too.
I dabbled in cashgames, sngs and mtts. I'm a total loser in cash. I got no idea why but i just can't win. I've watched loads of training vids, and really try to make it work, but i just can't win in cash.
Sngs and mtts wise were not so bad, for a period of time i was making enough money to live a normal comfortable life just from grinding those. However, everytime i bink a somewhat bigger prizepool mtt, i will either splurge it off or donk it off in cash games.
This is why up to now, i have pretty much no savings and less than $300 to my name. Some of my good friends were kind enough to loan me some $, i want to pay them back asap.
General plan:
1) I am going to deposit $250 into pokerstars and grind till $2000 focusing on sngs(maybe some mtts).
2) After that, i am going to focus on HUcash starting from 50NL(I have a friend who crush these HUcash games and he is going to teach me how to do it perhaps through a deal system or something).
