Dear fellow poker strategists,
Introduction:
Spoiler
My name is Cornelis. I'm an attractive guy living in The Netherlands. I'm 20 years old, and recently fell in love with poker.
I'll quickly explain my name. I'm a semi-addicted LoL player. I'm maining top lane in Diamond division on the EUW server.
Like most of you I made a few deposits, won a few bucks with SNG's/MTTs, which is why I immediately thought I was the best player in the world and wasted it all in a matter of minutes. I refused to even think about my mindset and pokerskills and did this a few times. Just recently I faced the fact my game isn't good - at all. I read some basic articles and assumed this would give me a huge edge on the micro's. Well, it clearly didn't. I didn't even apply the basic strategy. Mostly, it was just gambling.
However, I managed to slap myself in the face - mentally, that is - and I am 100% motivated to become a decent player at the micro's. This year. 2013.
When I want to do something, I just do it. No excuses. Not enough time? Sleep less and/or plan better. Not enough motivation? Just get over it.
Starting with a deposit of $100.
Goals:
Spoiler
Play 50,000 hands on ZOOM in october. No matter what.
Play two tables until comfortable enough to three/four-table.
At least one hour of strategy, once in the two days. Most likely more in the first week. This includes; articles, videos, books and reviewing.
Decent BRM. 25 buyins = shot on new limit ;; 20 buyins = back to previous limit
Questions:
Spoiler
I only read the basic articles on NL2. But I can not seem to find any articles based on the rush variant. People say it's pretty different from regular tables. Which videos/articles are a must? I prefer videos over articles, since I'm a terrible reader.
Best regards,
Toplaner.
PS. I'll start tomorrow, hoping to get some response on which videos/articles are a must soon so I can study before playing.
