One Last time
Hey everyone,
I’ve recently found myself without a competitive outlet. Sports used to fuel that drive for me, but after enough injuries, it feels like that chapter has closed.
The thing is poker has a way of pulling me back in. Over the last 10 years I’ve gone through stretches of obsession followed by long breaks, but the dream looks a little different now. With a solid career behind me, I want poker to become a serious side pursuit—something where the money actually makes a difference. My long-term target is to play NL200/400 and PLO200/400, and I’ll be tracking that journey here.
Funny enough, when I downloaded GG Poker after a couple of years away, I found C$170 just sitting there. So that’ll be my warm-up roll before I get serious.
With my current job, I can comfortably deposit $1,500–$2,000 a month. The plan is to start at the $50 cash game streets when the time feels right and see how far I can go.

Blew the C$ on GG taking some high-variance shots in PLO50, trying to convert fast into real cash, but no holds.
I’ll deposit on iPoker tonight and play some NL20 reg tables to get back into the swing of things before moving up to NL50 at the end of the month. I’ve got a week of work, so it’s the perfect time to ease back in properly. I’ll also pick up HM3 at the end of the month to start tracking things the right way.
And of course, I’ll be watching some Champions League absolutely love football, and love having a gamble on it even more!
Session 1
Pool is crazy soft & and I am crazy bad.
Hoping to get 10k hands in before the end of the month. Playing Reg tables NL20 max till then. Amen
I have been playing a few sessions here and there, I have been pretty busy with work.
45 mins a session seems to be my sweet spot any longer and i start opening youtube and stuff losing concentration.
started playing some 50NL games are pretty soft.
Hopefully I can get to 10k hands before my time off.
Long term poker goals.
Keeping it simple
- Build a sample and apply for CFP with Pokerwithriske in 6 months. March 2026 (applied years ago and failed).
- Reach 200NL on the way.
- Improve Mental Game Resilience.
Short term
- Play solid poker and forget about $ outcome.
- 1500 hands a day (Quality not just clicking buttons)
- Invest in HM3
- Develop Pre Session Routine
- Limit Session Length to 45min-1hour if my mouse start clicking on other things not related to poker.
I haven’t been able to play as much as I wanted because of real-life stuff, but I’ve still managed to get some hands in.
Playing 1,500 hands a day just isn’t possible on this site. There are only about 10 tables running at any time, and it takes forever to get a seat. Whenever one opens up, it’s gone the moment I click it pretty sure the regs are using seat scripts. So instead, I’ve started opening my own tables and letting players come to me. That works better, but the games usually break as soon as the weaker player busts or leaves.
I keep seeing the same 6–7 regs all the time, literally around the clock. If I log in at 7 a.m. or 7 p.m., they’re there. It almost feels like they’re bots. But I’m starting to pick up reads on them, and honestly, they don’t seem that strong definitely exploitable.
I’m running well so far and trying not to get carried away, but overall the games feel pretty soft. If there were another 10 tables running consistently, this site would be perfect. Since that’s not the case, I might need to switch to a different site to get more volume in.
Not really sure if how to attach hands I was thinking of posting where I leak 20-60 bb and get some feedback.
I am a disgrace of a player few sessions today
Just win .
