My name is Kent from Vancouver Canada. I am 29yrs old and have played poker since 2005.
I started playing poker after watching rounders one night in 2005. I really wanted to play poker for a living after learning it could be beat. I started at B&M casinos playing 2/4 limit, I played tight and was breaking even for a year. then I started playing online poker in 2006 and havent been back to the B&M casinos since. played mostly full ring NLHE cash at 10nl and 25nl (couldn’t win past 25nl). and then switched to 6max around 2011 and overall was able to maintain a a win rate over just over 1 million hands (500k hands at 25nl with 3bb/100). In 2015 I started playing hyper turbo husngs which I still do exclusively to this day, and I find them to be a lot of fun as well as easy to learn. Im doing very well at the $3.50 hypers on stars with over 5% roi after over 8k games. I am currently down about 100 buyins at the 7.00s over about 3500 games. I have tried moving up many times without success.
due to laziness and complacency I just never worked very hard in poker over the years, thus even though I was a small winner overall I had done and accomplished nothing with poker. Ive done nothing at 29 and I feel really depressed about this. poker is something I now want to exceed at badly, it is to the point where I rather die than to work a regular job for the rest of my life. it sounds like a really boring future and I want to live an extraordinary life and have an extraordinary job. my biggest motivation is I fear of looking back at 40 years old with regret of wasting my youth away doing nothing. I am turning 30 this year and I want to complete this program and change my life. I want to quit my dead end min wage job and finally accomplish my dream of playing online poker for a living THIS year. I am hopeful this program has what I need and I will put in the work this year to make up for 29yrs of wasted time.
I found out about a poker program in the 2plus2 forums and I watched a few of Gordon’s free videos and thought his ways of thinking was very sound. so I bought the No BS 6 max course in 2014 and studied it. but I still didnt put in big amount of volume and so progress was very slow. in 2015 I decided that I was either gonna become successful in poker or just save money and go to college, I wasnt going to work for min wage till Im 40, but I dont like the idea of college because there isnt anything Im interested in studying. I could just pick something just for the sake of getting a job but that sounds like a life sentence of boredom and sadness. playing online poker and making 100k a year is my dream. I still dont know how to win past 7.00 hypers so I knew I needed coaching. so I heard about it and this coaching program and I felt it was the perfect chance to give poker one last push. I am in the sng grinder program and will complete it when I earn 60k euros and I hope to do this within 12 months. I will give all my efforts towards this and will have no regrets if I still cant make a comfortable living at poker if I had tried all I can. this is the first entry of my blog for the program. and this is my current graph at 3.50s hyper turbo husngs on stars:
graph for 7.00 hypers:
I'm also interested, but it requires a big "safe deposit", right? Also I don't like the fact that I would have to pay 50% of my winnings so it is not for me at the moment. Please let me know what kind of experiences you have about this program 
lol when I first finished with the sign up process I was given a bunch of preflop range charts to memorize and had to play 10k hands using them. there were like fuggin close to 70 charts altogether with different hand combos on each chart. I felt overwhelmed already and the thought of quitting passed through my mind. but quickly I realized quitting isnt really a long term option, because my long term alternatives are quite depressing (either continue doing nothing in life for another 10yrs and probably kill myself from depression when Im 40, or save money 4 college and get a mundane 9-5 job and feel depressed till Im 65). obviously college > doing nothing, but still I do not think I would be anywhere near happy doing that. that or I have to make it or die trying. so bring on the charts, 70 of them or 7000 of them. I'll sigh and drag myself to do it, but i'll do it.
