Making it Count; 500nl+ and Life in the 2020s.
Hi guys, I'm George - you-mad-br0 on Pokerstars, and work with BitBCash.
Last year I ran a challenge where I gave 25% of my December winnings to charity. It gave me a lot of motivation, inspired a couple of copycat donations (shoutout 464), and resulted in about £1500 going to the Against Malaria Foundation, buying 757 mosquito nets.
This year, times are tough. Brexit is upon us, the Bitcoin price is down, and even Amazon is 20% below ATH. Therefore I've scaled back my generosity somewhat, and will be giving 10% of all my December winnings to charity..*
For those of you who love graphs - you are out of luck, as I'm currently on a career high 2 week stretch without checking results, and am not intending too break that even for PG+C. I can guarantee a graph at the end of the thread, and can give you this accurate representation of my 200z graph for clarity (4-5bb/100ish this year?).
To pacify the angry results seekers, see below for a picture of me free diving in a cenote in Mexico this year:
Finally, I've spent a lot of time over the last months helping to build the infrastructure required to make BitB cash truly the best place to learn poker on the internet, shoutout to Pads and the BitB tourney guys for a lot of ideas, and hopefully can share some stuff about the exciting developments we have there too in the thread.
So - goals for the month:
- 65k hands
- 4* PIO Study Sessions with friends/ BitB guys
- 4* Deep HH Review Sessions
- 12* Gym Sessions
- 50m Underwater (breathholding goal - one I've been struggling with)
- 20km running
- 4 New BitB Cash Members
- Stretch
I will be playing on stars 200z a bit, and some euro sites. I plan to update regularly with hand histories etc, and maybe some short live play videos. Maybe not so much recently, but when I first started out twoplustwo was a big help to me, so if anyone has any kind of questions about playing poker professionally I'd also be happy to answer them.
* on a serious note, I also plan to play a lot more this December than last year, so hope to be making a bit more money.
