From 9to5 job to MTT$ ! ==> Building roll for Thailand !!
Welcome to my PG&C Thread everyone 😀
My name is Vince, I'm 25 y/o french Canadien living in Quebec Montreal and I got enough of the 9 to 5 day job **** that, still young but time is precious!
I got in touch with poker when I was 19 in 2009 and if I could go back in time I would put all my efforts and time in that game.. #Can't
Well.. I started with a couple 25$ deposits like 99.9% and played mainly SnGs 9max and SnGMtts 4.50$ 180 !
Got some nice little scores like
♦ 2645$ 1.10$ 3xTurbo 4th/7081
♦ 1717$ 1.10$ 3xTurbo 5th/5883
♦ 705$ 5.50$ $5K Gtd 3rd/1566
♦ 431$ 3.30$R $2K Gtd 2nd/408
♦ 349$ 3.30$MM $30K Gtd 7th/13682
Last year I got back in poker and gave a try to Fifty50s at 3.50$ lvl where I had quite a nice succes both due to real life **** I stop and I was negative about the futur in this format. Lost internet for two week, lost my job etc
I'm living with a friend in a 4 1/2 apartment and my lease agreement is untill 31st of June! My goal till then is to grind a bankroll so I can move to Thailand 😮 Dream Big they said!
But first thing first, I need a plan 🙂
♠ I will be playing Regular Speed Mtts
♠ With a Bankroll Management of 100BI untill I reach 1K$ roll and then switch to 200BI
♠ I will focus on field of less than 1000 players
♠ Less distractions as possible while playing, that means ; -Cell phone out of reach + I've already closed my facebook account #Useless$h1t
♠ Planning to navigate through HM2 and analyze some situations where I might leak
♥ Ultimate goal is to have 10K$ Roll, I have 5-6 months to do so 😀 ♥
All in all, if you guys have any suggestion on what to look for when finding leaks, experiences you want to share or anything, feel free !!!
Starting Bankroll is 364$

YO 7 years later, I'm back!
♤Broke my hand during summer and deposited 20$ on the Quebec Poker Site "LotoQuébec", won the FIRST mtt I played ��
♡Passion is back along maturity, finacial comfort too so no "need" to make money, i just want to play good.
◇The dream is still alive, I'd say more than ever.
♧I subscribed to RYE Tournament Masterclass and worked on my game.
♤Also went to Playground Poker Club in Montreal ONCE this summer and played a 200$ mtt 102players that I binked? Wth is wrong with the poker gods for 3.9k CAD EasyGame .
♡So, bankroll is at 13k (cad) (not counting the live 3.9k wich is liferoll money.
��Here is my graph :
♧I hired a coach to improve even more, sessions will start in february.
��I am still working fulltime.
I will try to post once a week and update.
PS: Last post sas insane thankyou for your answer, I am on cellphone and did not learn how to quote yet. GL on the tables ��
hope its been going well, just thought I'll offer some advice since I've been pretty much in the same situation as you are.
Im a 21 y/o guy from toronto and have been playing pro now since winter 2014. In toronto I lived alone, I was also financially independent so it wasnt too easy to save up if you know what I mean, I had the ****tiest job (I know everyone says that but believe me mine was UP there) and I wanted out really quick so as soon I had a 3.5k roll and saw that according to my ev poker
You went pro with less than 3k Bankroll?????
Personally I don't know if I will feel safe under 100k :/
This is really me goal now. But I bought a Condo so I have expenses obviously and want to continue to go to the gym, go on dates, activities with my friends, go fishing during summer and drink Jack Daniels so, lets say 2.5K CAD$ would be my monthly expenses.
Sure the ultimate goal would be to travel but I would have to sell wich is okay too.
Really?
Easy game!
Played on MTT on PS tonight. Happy
easy 150% average ROI on 750 MTTs without a onetime, lol thats so sick, at least ur crushing the micros
Subbed, more thread savers.
its when you win a very big score, call it one time because its the kind of score you only win once in long time.
Oh yeah I see! Well I consider I had 2 of them since I sattellited my way in a 55$ for 5$ ended yp finisbing 2nd for 1500$ early on and same thing around 3/5th of the way.
I work fulltime alternating Day/Night 12h shifts too. Right now it is very part time but I study too around it.
I am playing without a HUD too since software does not allow it.
Work will be less shifts in about a month too. I started playing on Stars to add bigger fields and have more opportunities with the HUD (HM2)
Volume and ABI$ is very low but I am slowly getting it higher and feeling less pressure when playing 13r or 24fo now. Soon enough the higher buy-ins will come! 👌
Found this thread when I was looking for opinions about where to go in Thailand for a 3 month poker grind. Funny enough I am in Montreal as well right now at university playing micro stakes cash games trying to build a roll to go professional soon. I've been looking for people to create a grindhouse in Thailand if your dreams still alive...
let me know. Discord: eliasxax

Hi!

YOYOYOYOYOOYOYOYOYO time for an update. I'll try my best and do an update every ''less than 3months period'' eheh
Ok so, I would say overall its going ''okay''
♣ So yeah, my graph is going up, slower than what I would like but at least it is going up!!!
I started to play some on pokerstars too so we'll see what this brings!!
♠ As for my weight, I once stepped on the scale and saw 180 like last week but currently fasted in the morning I am standing at 175.
I think I wont go higher than that. I am wearing Medium t-shirts and they all are kinda almost to tight. Since I will never wear large because I'd basically float in them and I like the way I look naked I decided to put an end to the bulk and start to eat a little less and cleaner.
GL everyone!!!
PS: anyone of you living in Montreal or near?
Allright guys, time for an update!
Here is the main graph as of today November 05 2024 :
I started on OkPoker with 10$ so then I will repeat that on all sites. I want to be able to say in the futur that I started all of this with only 10$ of hard earned money 😀
I took out money from my main site this summer but now, my only focus will be to get all bankrolls in a respectable $ABI.
A part of that was 650$ USD for a Database review
As for now here are the standings of all BRs
OkPoker : 5050$
PokerStars : 790$ (playing up to 7.50$ sometimes 11.00$)
888 : 355$ (playing only the late bigshot 5.50$)
ACR : 99$ (playing only the 4.40$ 2k gt)
GG Poker : Will deposit soon
@CashedOutRoll : 3095$
TOTAL: 9389$
I am focused on the process and I keep working on my game piece by piece every week!
As to the fitness/health, I don't care about my weight anymore, I eat healthy 90% of the week, hit the gym 2-3 times per week and thats enough to stay in shape around 12% bodyfat
As simple as it may look like, my only goal is to increade the bankrolls.
I think my goals would be to have
OKPok : 4K
Stars : 10K
ACR : 3K
888 : 3K
GG : 5K
I aim for 25k spread on all sites + 25K InDaBankPokerRoll for 50k total. This is the first step before thinking of doing anything with my fulltime job. As for now I cashout anything over 4k in my Okpoker roll and I put it in the BackupRoll. I will probably take 50% of the next roll to reach the objective into other rolls to help them grow.
May the cards be in your favor ♥
