Dear community,
I´am inspired through the BR challenge to udate the progress, but it might be interesting for other´s to have more insight´s in the process of such a "BR- challenge" - even if they in the same position to build up a "real" BR which makes possible to go for higher goals - like hopeing to become a professional poker player.....
Biography inside
I´am 50 years old and have had so far a live with up and downswings, as we will also go through within this challenge.
I become a professional ski racer during my youth, but to be safe in makeing my liveing if it won´t worked, my parents gave me the hint to also have an apprentice. While giveing in these days everything to become a sportsman also made my degree as an electrician supported by the company i was learning - ike to have extras days off for training etc. - be support by an international company which i ám still greatful for.
If you go for a big project, it is important to have a supporting community behind - like one we have here on pokerstrategy for such a BR-challenge.
After finished my career as professional sportsman it was important to me to broaden my horizon by getting my high school degree, to be able to make my way into university to study sport.
At university i got inspired by an course in Psychologie to change my mind and go for a degree in Psychologie - which is done after a little while. I worked as an coach, speaker and therapist and wrote a book about relationships.
Than i was hitted by an depression and wasn´t able to do much....
Tme out for my life and how I come to pokergame
During that time surrounded by that depression totally it was important to find something to have a daily structure, which involves fun!! - to get back my motivation for live, feeling the sun, eating - for everything.
It is true - one is not able to explain depression - you (hopefully not) have to experience what it means that for example picking up a phonecall is the hardest thing somebody expected from you - including yourself! ...but got through that and part of it was playing poker without money, only playchip!!!!!
A friend of mine - which i didn´t know for a longer time - was make his liveing as regular poker player. Crazy that somebody who earns his money is kind of ashamed to tell other´s what he is doing. - Poker is such fun and if you do it professionalwise (FIRST BR manegement) is it for sure not about "luck" for the most part, there is only a part which contains the luck part of it....so i played a lot and learn, video´s etc. - BUT in my case it gave me back the competition part, which keeped me alive since i had my first ski race with about 4 years - part of a ski school race at the end of the course - ski schools do that regulary for there clients, just as a celebration at the end of the course.
..so back to poker challenge - but i will give much more insight´sand if you interested in something i haven´t told yet - please asked. I will do my best to answer it.
MIkro`s challenge
Here I started with 30 EUR and playing 0,25ct sng´s 45 players and there are goals like every upgrowing for about 10 EUR i doing shoots on 1$ sng´s 45 players and on mtt´s on the mikro level.
Freeroll- challenge
I will play in the beginning only hourly freerolls to build up a BR to 100$, to have motivational steps in it - After every 10$ step I play a shoot on sng´s or mtt (only one) - discipline is such a big thing to be aware of while playing poker!!!!
We all will get tempted to go too earlie to higher buy in´s. If you do it - with discipline - only one shoot which does not destroy the whole work you have put into it before.
Still started about a month ago, keep you updated regular, with stt´s, graphs, funny calls, mistake´s i made and funny things which happen regularly on these levels....be back soon, hope you enjoy reading and if you have questions I will do my best to answer it - or if I do not know I ask people who know..... - or better somebody here know´s and is not shy do give answer.....
greetings
Heikoaa
