Hello Pokerstrategy Forum

This is not a challenge to prove that I am good, it's because that's all i have right now for poker. Long story short, I am a bad player (bad skills, and bad mindset). At least for right now.

I don't want to brag about my problem right now, or my poker history right now. because i think, nobody cares.

The challenge is for me being more discipline. Discipline to keep mindful mind when winning and losing, keep study, and keep grinding. Not to chase a losing session or play bigger games to chase some buyins.
Also maybe this Post will get me a new poker friends . because i don't have any poker friends IRL

My ultimate goal is of course to get a nice side income or maybe get a better income than my 9to5 job. But that is so far from reality.
This all Challenge is for me to get from $50 (25BI PLO2) to $50.000 (250BI PLO200)
Don't know, maybe it's too high of a hopeful dream right now.

So why is omaha? Because i see that maybe Online NLHE is very hard to beat now. All the regs are getting better. so the opportunity is maybe in Live nlh or online PLO.
I saw someone post a 1 million hand on PLO200 for >5bb/100 and it motivates me. maybe online poker isn't dead? maybe i can still do better than before.

Learning Status:
- I Am currently working on my preflop games with plo matrix. Trying to learn 100bb , 50bb, and last 250bb.
- Have a from the ground up plo, but haven't finish it yet.

My current bankroll is just $50 .
My plan is to play PLO2 zoom and regular table, maybe most of it will be zoom to get more volume.
Play some $1-$5 mtt.

My 1st step goal is to play PLO10 with $500 (50BI) and work to at least PLO25 with $1000 (50BI) because PLO10 lower the rake is high.
Then go to PLO 50 higher with 200 BI. I now play on GG because it have a lot of traffic, but maybe will move to stars also, after I could play on PLO25 because i could get 40% rakeback from the challenge.

Wish me luck guys, I hope i will be discipline to be better.
I would update my status, and some of interesting hands, and some of story hopefully weekly.

Please give me any advice or tips that would help me.
Best Regards, Thank You

That is my Intro from my last challenge in 2p2 and RIO forum.
I think i will post this here too, to get more friends and connection.

Long story short after that challenge from december 2022 till now

really failing rock bottom for the past 3 months in 2023.
I am deep in debt now to my friends. because of losing on online casino games.
I got rejected from my crush. it's really hurt. but still try to move on.

but gladly I still have a 9to5 job, to back up my daily life expense.
and still got family and friends that help me.

I don't know what else that I had to do for side income. so i just give this my last shot.
Gonna do some serious grinding.
I don't know if it's a challenge or not. but I am gonna do my best

I got some goals in the end of this year
-Get rid of this debt from my friends (~$5000)
-Got 150BI Bankroll in PLO25 ($5000)
-get healthier go to 80kg, now (95kg)

Currently Bankroll:
stars $435 and GG $80

gonna play 2 table PLO zoom/rc in PLO10 and takeshot in PLO25.
gonna do more serious on stars, because it have a 40% rb challenge.
So, my small goals is just to complete the monthly challenge first. it starts in April.
I will update the results of the challenge weekly.

so wish me luck guys, and please support my journey. it really help me.

Hi theheadsquare,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:
When a player first joins, they are restricted to help protect against spammers — this is called "basic" status.

The lowest full-privilege status is bronze. You can read about the point system here: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/status-points/
The best way to get to bronze is to take advantage of one of the bonus offers or perhaps one of the free money offers.

If that is not possible, you can purchase points to gain status for a limited time. Once you've done that once, you never go back below "bronze".
Full details: purchase points

All the best,
VS

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!
