My results of grinding 2NL 5NL 10NL 25NL 50NL 100NL

After his 2 barrel i realized that im against overpair, i wanted to represent T or better to set up a river bluff-shove otherwise calling 2rd barrel had no benefit imo

But even if im right with my guesses i think i should limit bluffing unless i have a good note on someone

And my stupidity is that i had note on that guy to not bluff, he called light before but this is where 4tabling zoom gets me i get little careless

Impossible for them to have flopped the flush?

Less likely in 3bet pot

All these years i always had consistent monthly income, i was doing things like ordering product, posting on social media, running ads, had few people working for me like they were answering messages, packing those products and delivering to customers

Well, it never was life changing income for me, i could like buy iphone, macbook order nice food to eat, pay the bills but was hard to save anything to buy like a car or house or to save money at all and as time passes income becomes less and less because now there are more platforms like tiktok etc people always interested in new products and i can’t fully concentrate on that work because im working with my poker dream

Poker always was more like a side income which generated under 1k$ month or if i was aggressive with shot takings some months maybe nothing earned at all and time wasted because i had to move back lower stakes like NL5 and grind back again, sometimes i even had to move back to NL2 because i never deposited a penny and my rule was to never go busto, now i have enough online roll to take risky shots at NL25 but not doing that, i also have 4k$ on bitcoins

I decided to do what will be best for my poker dream, from January, after new year, i will stop my work which generates income and fully concentrate on poker dream, i believe this is the best way to take poker career as seriously as possible, it’s simple, either i make enough money from poker or i dont eat at all

I hope till new year my bitcoin investment becomes at least 6k+ and i will take it out, my plan is to mix online grind with live 1/3 and build bigger bankroll, move up online and live at the same time, live income will be more something to be depended on probably but im happy ill have only one thing to worry about, only one thing to dedicate my time and energy, it will be poker

Gl dude

Do you live with family or alone currently?

It's probably best to get a job which pays some money to cover your bills and stuff instead of what sounds like the waste of time that is dropshipping.

When you have bills to pay without much savings and hit a bad run then you're going to start feeling the pressure. Ideally, you would build the bankroll up but sounds like you will have to make regular withdrawals from it which will slow your progress moving up the stakes.

You should consider supplementing poker with some 'variance free' money before going all in (at least in my opinion). But gl whatever you decide.

I recommend switching completely to poker. You live in such a cheap state, so you could probably live on NL2 income.

in an earlier post you asked about income levels so
NL2 1000+€/month
NL5 2000+€/month
These are easily achievable if you can maintain a basic good winrate and regularly play 160,000-200,000 hands per month

There was period in my life when i left family to live alone for few years mainly because my father had very successful career and gave me nothing to start with, starting from childhood i never asked even for pocket money, in the end i was little angry on my father

I don’t want to turn this into a drama thread anyway atm im in a good position i don’t have to pay rent also i mentioned live poker, it will be regular income while ill try to move up online

Anyway i believe the best way to become very successful in something you need to make it as the only way of income for your life expenses, that will really force you to not loosen up, always be sharp, just remove all the ways, burn the bridges, don’t be afraid, everything is gods will anyway, i will tell this to myself and I’ll success.

Nah im sure now i can easily beat RnC NL10 and i can pretty much beat 9max or regular tables more easier since i can table select but my whole plan is different, till evening will be playing online trying to move up and after evening will be playing live cash 1/3

Online monthly volume will be under 100k maybe 60-80k

It doesn't sound like you have any major expenses so that's one less pressure. I guess you'll quickly find out how much you love the game and if the swings are for you 😀

Trol trolling the trol

Stop trolling.

lol nice troll

He's not trolling actually, you can play 950 hand per hour RnC, 160k-200k hand a month is achievable if you dedicate full time, you only need 5k hand per day to reach 160k, thats 5h of work and if you reach that kind of volume you will be placed in leaderboards higher, rakeback etc with such a volume monthly income he says its realistic imo

200k volume is only 6.5k hand per day, if you play like 9h you can reach 8.5k daily volume, when you have nothing to do except poker, he is right you can aim for that kind of volume

does anybody on this planet make 1k/month at nl2? i mean not theoretically, but actually

Maybe some Belarusian bot...

I think at nl2 10-15bb+ winrate is achievable just need to play like 200k+ hand a month and get some BBJ maybe but i agree even on this condition it’s hard to make 1k i dont even want to imagine playing 200k hands at nl2 its just a torture lol

i I have done it and achieved it. I don't really care about the level and I understand if someone can't play at low levels. I started playing at NL2 and played at least 500,000 hands at that level. I could have moved to bigger levels even after the first month, but I felt that my game has a lot of problems and fixing those problems is much cheaper at a small level. Sometimes, for example, if I want to practice bluff spots, I might overbluff the next 20k hands and see how it works.

-there are probably better ways to train, but I personally like to see how things happen with real people

ps. Russian regs call me "aggro Fish Raiser" i just fokin love it

OK, that's a great approach imo. And you had a 1k month at nl2? If so, that's just epic.

gl bud! do you think the ante games are softer than 6max reg tables?

Thanks mate, gl you too as you play much higher stakes you’ll need it more.

The ante games are soften imo and they’re played deep-stacked but rake is very high too, if you master it as i see top regs have 10-15BB winrates

Lately i look things a bit more differently than before, my thinking process is changing, what is large part of our winrate? It’s AA-KK right?

So environment where our top value hands get action is the best environment, AA-KK will get more action in 9max games more than in 6max, more deep-stacked games are more we get paid with our AA-KK, when i play zoom there is less action postflop, large portion of hands are folded pre, very often AA-KK gets no action at all

Sometimes i wonder why i still play zoom, i think 9max ante games is the way to go but my ego doesn’t let me but i get a lot of experience and sharpen my strategy, i believe its very valuable to play at least 1M hands of zoom after i can crush softer games a lot more easier, zoom is the format where many of legendary players were born like redbaron linus etc

I notice the same problem with many players who play too little/nitt. That's why I prefer to play with LAG/maniac strategy, which gives me significantly better action. I lose some ev on some boards, but with my best hands I often get maxes.

Table image helps ofc but when you open raise and everyone folds that happens too often in zoom games, proportionally there are more preflop folds compared to postflop action and by default you get less opportunities
