Hi everyone, I introduced myself back on 26 of march.
Here is what I wrote: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=3116048#post3116048

Its been exactly two weeks since I introduced my self, since then I built some basic concept how to play poker. Im currently reading ''Treat your poker like a business'' by Dusty Schmidt. Its a great book, for a player like me who was a complete bust and just wasting money. This book put me on right track, after 10 years where I was just loosing constantly money. I don't even have exact overlook, I checked my tournament all time stats and its not surprising me, actually its not that bad as I thought, its not even -2k. But the real problem is the cash game, there I don't have a proper over look, because I only recently got HM3, before I didn't consider it as a necessity. My philosophy was I can win only by playing made hands.

Here are my tournament scores since 2012.

Now I started fresh with 53$ to play at NL2 9max cash game, where I didn't get much action, so I moved to 9 max zoom, where I saw that there are not that many players as at 6 max, there are 5x more players, and game is more dynamic. So as my time is limited because of full time work, Im looking to get as much hands as possible. In these 2 weeks I made 21$, and I am closer to my goal to move up to NL5. I haven't decided yet which game is better for me zoom or a standard cash game. On weekends evenings I'm trying my shot at 2.20$ and 3.30$ bounty builders. Over all its good feeling to be on right track, even though its only plus 20$.

Later I will drop my result graph, thanks for reading :)

When linking an image, be sure it is a direct link to the image (with an extention), you linked to a site that is showing the image instead, which doesn't work.

Good luck with the grind and getting the profit line back up! _drink:

I don't know why it would be embarrassing, since it is what one would expect playing MTTs

You play and play and play and cash and play and cash and play and play and play.

Best of luck,

Its been a while since last update. I haven't given up on my poker dream, but its not going easy at all. Since some time Im not playing Zoom micro stakes, instead I tried to turnaround my MTT graph (unsuccessfuly)
Mostly I played scoop events, and now I haven't played since then. Tonight Im planing to play some medium stake bounty builders, hopefully I can turn it around

Whats up. Since its lockdown again and live poker is not available I’m back at online poker. In live Poker I feel myself more comfortable. But here we go again. I cashed in 25 $. The plan is to grind NL2 until I make 100$ and then move up to NL5.

This thread I start to monitor my results and growth.

If $25 is good enough for NL 2, why not go for NL 5 at $60 -- or at least take a 2-BI in shot ...

Right now it’s not more about money, it’s principal. I want to proof myself that I can stay constant and beat the NL2.
