Becomming a Pro is hard - getting fired is even harder. So maybe I can make my dream come true! Hey there my Name is Schoggiand this is gonna be my Pokerblog. Here I want to talk about everything like: Bankroll, Handhistory, mindset, study and my overall journey. Last year I got into Poker and made my way up to NL 10 but then had a hard breakup, needet to move two times find a "real" job etc. I Stopped playing having to figure all that stuff out. - this time I want to beat NL 100 reg Tables at minimum 4 to 5 bb/100. So that I might make a living off that game. I am starting with 100€ and on NL2 again. My goal is to play at least 25000 Hands per week. I Need the Pain and need to prove my game before I move up in stakes. For that I want to stick to the following rules: Moving up when: - min. 25000 Hands played on the previous limit (Is that too much?) - min. 40 buyins for the next limit Moving down when: - losing 10 buyins in that Limit (Is that too strict?) I will be posting weekly updates on sundays as a recap. Including some Hands and graphs and stuff like that. I started playing today so here comes: BR: old: 100 $ Today: + 1,63 $ Limit: NL2 Hands: 602 BR: new: 101,63 $ Note: Found some crazy guys on Stars, I really need to learn again how to milk the guys who donate stacks left and right. Handhistory: Had this Hand vs a guy who jammed his stack like times in the last 6 Hands after losing a big pot. At this point I guessed that it must be Air sometimes. When he did it vs me on the Flop I thought that my 2 overs and backdraw flush are good enough vs his tiltrange. well see for yourself and tell me if you would have called.
