Misreg Live Pro Wants to See if He Can Win Online
Background
I'm a live poker pro in my late 20s who started playing poker a decade ago. I've waffled back and forth these last few years about whether I want to keep playing, but I figure as long as I'm still here, I may as well chronicle this next part of my journey.
I started off shot-taking my balls off at 2/5, 5/10 with no qualms about having a quarter of my networth on the table and after meeting some great mentors, I was playing high stakes.
I'm making this thread because a lot of the players I used to play with are gone for one reason or another and I miss the community I had.
Also, my work ethic is lackadaisical at best, so I'm hoping this will help me stay accountable.
Side note: It's cool as hell stumbling upon some OGs blogs, guys like Benabadbeat, limon, GazzyB, AlexWice etc. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but maybe if I'm still here in another decade, I can be one of them.
Goals
Play 20 minutes of poker a day, five times a week. That's it. More than anything, I need consistency, so that's where I'll start.
I primarily use online as training grounds for live, so I'll play a mix of NL and PLO.
Here are my graphs for each
NL
PLO

Played two sessions of PLO6 online and I'm down a few buyins at $0.50/$1 across a couple of hours
I've worked some friends who've helped me build out a decent system for how I approach each street so I feel decent about my game, but it sucks that there isn't a poker tracker for this format, because it really helps me to see how my red/yellow/blue lines are doing
I desperately want to prove to myself that I can still win, so I plan on putting in a lot more volume both live and online this coming week but I don't have nearly the same excitement about poker that I did when I started and I've also lost a lot of my appetite for risk
It's a double edged sword, because on one hand I'm a lot less likely to lose a lot doing something silly, on the other, it's hard for me to feel genuine joy when I play
Curious if anyone else can relate and if so, how they've adapted
