Hello!
I wanted to just step in and say hello. I've been active previously on the Swedish forum, however I've had a looong break from any kind of volume in poker & on the forums so I wanted to get re-aquainted.
My name is Christian, screenname Gutchiboi on Pstars.
I started out back in days playing alot of MTTs and loved it, but as the hunger for more grew I started making adjustments to my game to be more profitable in poker in general. This included going over to cashgame, for consistency, I also tried out SNGs. I had this idea that the variance and the hours of MTTs were to brutal to actually make something of it. Over time this grew to be quite frustrating, I felt that I was just grinding not having much fun and before long I withdrew my roll and quit. I've come back several times to cashgame & to sngs, however I never really considered going for MTTs again - until now!
Lately I've been doing alot of soulsearching about passions and the things we do to succeed, totally forgetting that the point of it must be, imo, to love what your doing and let the rest flow from there - this brings me back to MTTs. I've always loved playing MTTs, I love the thrill of the deep runs, I love the building of a stack, the changing format and lets not be stupid here, I love the big cashes, haha!

Aright then, hope to see you around the forums & tables!
Oh right, almost forgot, I'm playing a $60 roll at MTTs so it's real microes haha! ^^

Hey Christian,

Welcome back :welcome:

As someone who loves MTTs as well, I can certainly identify with what you are saying. You can play so perfectly, not make any mistakes and still walk away with nothing. It can be a cruel game.

I would recommend you check out Asaban's MTT Beginner Coaching: Discussion and feedback thread. There is a lot of good information there. _thumbsup:

Sounds like a bit of a bankroll build going on. You should also check out our .Get Rich or Die Tryin' promotion. You could even win a status upgrade just for being an active participant.

Have fun :gl:

Laz

@Lazza61
It truly is a brutal thing to do, haha!

Oh yeah, I checked out both of those threads actually! I was defo interested in joining the "Get rich or die trying" BR challenge, but for some reason I'm alittle afraid of the commitment of a blog & a challenge. Not really sure why though, so I might just do that.

You too man, thanks for the hello!

@Svonja

@World
