Ok so I've been a HUNL player on and off since like 2011.. I was a pure maniac/agrofish back then would only ever play regs didnt even understand the concept of opening my own tables to play fish.. didnt really enjoy play fish was pretty much running off ego. I used to mainly play 50nl but would often get tilted after losing buy ins and jump stakes... I would run up a stack at 50 and by the end of the night i'd be playing 2knl you know the typical regfish behaviour. I will never forget this hand: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54/po... (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54/poker-beats-brags-variance/hand-gun-1120396/?highlight=) I've thought about making these kind of threads before but ive never really hand any proper commitment or direction. I once told my poker life story on here but asks the mods to delete because of some issues i ran into. In that post I think i was making my last shot at trying to go pro which was probably 2013. I dont think things went bad but they just werent very successful and i think i full rolled a few games and was like F this i dont have the mental game to play poker. Fast forward to 2018 I started playing HU again I pretty much never thought there was much wrong with my game I just thought tilt turned me into a spazz and I knew what the issue was i just needed to resolve it myself. Anyway that year I reached out to a coach and jesus how wrong i was in spots i didnt even think of. Since that day I've been playing HU solidly improved much more then i ever thought i could from coaching and also even more from tools such as PIO and GTO trainer.
This is my graph pretty much up to date over the last year and a bit. From 5-10nl to the now 100-200nl. The first 100-150k was the climb out the micros which was very much helped by rakeback. Im really going for it now, hopefully **** doesn't go pear shaped because im pretty bipolar with poker tbh, one min I live speak sleep and breathe it then Ill have a couple months hiatus. I differ between HU online to live cash because its soft af and also HU online pretty much takes over all aspects of my life but **** it. I have a somewhat structured plan, daily and monthly goals atm... i made a blog before this one which made me think ok maybe its 2p2 worthy and i wont just post for a month and **** it off. Plus everyone knows 2p2 post count = player skill. So anyway bitches, virgins and heros welcome to my thread; My daily goals atm are:
- Concentrate while playing
- Stick to schedule don't procrastinate
- Try get to bed before 12.30
- Play well My april goals are: April Goals
- Keep the Poker>Life ratio, especially over this lockdown period
- Don't get corona a bit higher on the list
- Have more structured and organised study, maybe set days.
- Run 3 times a week, have a set home work out twice a week minimum.
- Stars maintain WR > 5bb and minimum 30k hands (this applies to stars only I want much higher elsewhere)

I can imagine this blog to be a bit sporadic but hopefully i stick to it. This year I had planned to play some live events and a bit of online in between... this has all been cancelled due to corona so its online only. Im going to use this space to track goals, post hands maybe kick off on a few virgins but its all love.. if my goals fail at least its public and can provide some entertainment but **** it...NEVER GIV UP.
