My Journey the the Stars (But not on PokerStars) - Cash Game Blog RNC

Hello Everyone,

First, I want to start by saying a few things about myself. I'm a regular full-time employee working at home for a BPO company in my homeland Colombia, I used to mix poker to have some extra income, playing mainly cash games between NL10 and NL25 but due to other commitments, I withdrew my entire bankroll and stopped playing.

A couple of days ago, GGPoker gave me C$50 to have fun I guess. Since last year I haven't played a single hand on the platform. But I decided to give it a shot to poker again. Therefore I played some hands on NL5 being like 1 buy-in below. For some reason, I changed my mind and started to play 4 RNC NL2 tables with a good session result. My goal for the day was only to convert the C$ to real USD$ and take the money.

However, I decided to be more ambitious and give it another shot to poker, I'm not bored at my current job but I know that with hard work, deep study of the game, and developing a good mental, I can reach mid and why not, high stakes. I have access to some good material from Spaniards pros and I want to work as hard as I can to go beyond my limits. And to commit to the challenge, for the first time in my life, I will start a blog to keep track of my progress and keep sharpening my English writing skills.

All of this is part of a self-development path that I'm taking, having good habits, working out at the gym, following a nutritional plan with my nutritionist, meditating, and reading finance and self-development books. Focusing mainly on reaching full independence, confidence, and masculinity development.

Probably in later posts, I can tell more things about my lifestyle, but let's go back to poker, The goal is to escalate limits handling a 30 buy-ins bankroll, so once I reach $150+, I will jump to NL5. I don't want to deposit a single penny, so, that's why I want to start conservatively. Depending on my progress I will give shots to higher stakes.

So, here are the principles I will follow in this challenge to the stars

• Only RNC tables starting, later I will evaluate the option to play regular tables.
  
• 6 Max only
  
• 30 Buy in Bankroll to go up (or down) on limits
  
• Study hard MF!!
  
• Enjoy the process and not be result-oriented.
  
• Put a decent volume, not less than 20k hands per month.
  
• Reach $5K bankroll Goal within a year time, everything counts, rakeback, bad beat jackpot, promos, etc, some luck in a donkament, etc.
  

Cheers to everyone and good luck at the tables.
