making some money...
So decided to open one of these and would think it to be an accomplishment to keep updating this to the end of 16.
Im 29 ,played poker for a long time and all these years my main game is cash. Im sorry but cashgame is the true king of poker in my eyes. Have played about 300 sng`s and about the same amount of MTT`s over the years but sorry ,nursing a 9bb stack to find something shoveable is stupid. Respect to those who can do it though.(Besides all that staking and % selling is so sad in my eyes ,have lost a lot of respect reading the pokernews about someone winning some highroller knowing the guy probably had like 10% of himself)
I`ve always played microstakes ,so I can say Im not good enough to crush the games and move up and crush there aswell. Played professionally for a year due to lifethings happening at weird point(played nl25 and 50 fr shotting the 100 games ) but during this year found out that im not suitable to being a professional at this game. Its hard work.
So for the past few years have played like a true recreational and happy about it. Making some money working full time and making some money playing as mush as I feel like is the most suitable variant at this moment. (hence the title)
Did a little change in december . Moved away from Pokerstars ,cut the nr of tables playing and trying to up my game vs regulars. Everyone can win with AA vs fish .
First 25k hands played and kind of liking it. More fun ,more thinking ,more fun spots.
So ,always nice to have some graphs aswell.
this is me 2014-2015 @stars avg. stake NL10
and this is me since december nl10
You can add about 75k hands of plo ( what a fuking game ) and some hands on some random eurosites during 14-15. (winning there aswell but not having all the hands so no graph) Add in some rakeback ,bonuses etc.
So why havent i moved up. Used money elsewhere. Only having a mortage payment for my apartment makes everyday life easy. Anyway started some investing in last year also. Giving out P2P loans on internet and have used part of my winnings to create somekind of portfolio.(very small though) but I think that if I have started it its easier to carry on doing it so one goal from poker this year is to win so I can use some money growing my portfolio( what a weird word discribing small money)
Enough now ,will try to start with some hands here during weekend.
lets end with a classic
