Hi, I am Michael I am 38 years old.
The first time I played poker was over 20 years ago and we all played 5 card draw. (I bet some of you reading this aren't even 20 yet, lol). Started out playing with friends at my local Pool hall. Pool had been a big part of my life prior to poker. I never really got into poker back then as I loved playing pool so much. Cut a long story short 10 years ago I too caught the poker bug and things went from there. Started with MTT's and Sng's and transitioned over to cash games. Never really played a lot, more of a recreational player back then. Made a little money over the years but never really anything substantial.
I consider myself a semi-pro now, the last few years been playing a lot more with moderate success. I made the jump to exclusively play PLO in 2014, I love PLO it is so much more fun to play compared to NL. Over the last few years I logged around 400k hands a year at PLO.
I am a winner at plo20 and below but break-even/lose at plo50 and above. I have tried to move up and have played as high as plo100. Withdrawing money and life expenses etc yadayada I have not been able to break through to mid-stakes and beyond yet.
My short term goals for poker:
-I want to make 60K in my 1st year and reach the mid-stakes. If I can get to PLO 200-400 I'll be very very happy.
-Have a 10k month within 1 year.
-At least a 5bb/100 winner at all stakes.
My long term goals:
-Crush high stakes poker: I really want to play nosebleeds. Transitioning to live would be my next goal, taking on anyone and everyone that dares to play me! Bring it Phil, Patrick, Tom I really can't wait!
-Win a bracelet. I have already made it out to Vegas once and played my very first NL tournament, the Monster Stack. Great experience.
-Make a million.
I will be documenting all of this. I will make weekly videos on youtube talking about my progress and how the last week has gone etc. I will also be blogging about my experience, really can't wait, things just got serious! Stay tuned.
Signing out.
Plo Noob soon to be Plo Baller!!!!
