PGC - 1 year of pro :lazy/backed to...
Sup guys,
Got back from vacation yesterday and decided to make a "pgc" 2+2 style here but without risking the taxman getting after my ass! Sorry if I keep things vague :P.
About me: just turned 26, born/living in a city famous for weed/hookers and what not. Quit studying about 12 months ago and started playing poker seriously to make some money. Got a backing/coaching deal for the first ~8 months which basically learnt me how to beat lowstake MTTs at a decent clip. Got another deal with way more % for me after that. I'm still playing the same games as I was 6 months ago, and while my deal would allow me to play higher, I just dont because I always fear getting deep in make up/losing for several months. So a better route for me to follow is to build up an own roll and move up when the roll allows. So I'm hoping to go on my own as soon as possible and go from there.
Graph: (missing 10k-ish from 888)
Avg buyin is now around $20.
My daily schedule is 95% mtts up to 55 fo's and 11euR's, and then some higher and lower mixed in. Playing 4-5 sites and just avoiding high variance/low roi games such as turbos or tough games on stars. I'm pretty happy with the progress Ive made so far in terms of studying, reviewing to get better, the volume is just way too low imo. Ive played just over 600 games a month on average while being a full time pro, which is a big joke imo.
Goals starting now untill june are simple: play 1k+ mtts and roi above 40%!

GL! Does your city happen to start with an A?
Nice graph, nice city ;) What games on stars are you playing?
ps. We are prob playing tax free since .eu , so you can be more open imo
glgl!
Sup guys,
Just busted my last mtt so here is a little write up of the first days after vacation.
Grinded saturday with alright results, was up 800ish after getting 2nd and 6th in two $50 fo's on party and some random cashes. Played decent, always a bit rusty after 1.5 weeks off. Had a lot of 8th-18th places on sunday and monday, and a 3rd in a 5euro rebuy on ipoker. Had a high stakes reg 5bet shoving 89o on me (BTN vs SB) in the Party $50 12.5k for the chiplead with 17 or so left which was funny. Back to break even now.
Ill post a graph of those days tomorrow when sharkscope gets all the games, so for now you'll have to do with this one, graph filtered for >100bb pf in all my mtts this year.
Im curious what other people have on my stakes?
@Dialingup420: Yes :)
@Advenje: Im sticking to the Bigs for now, when I'm starting a session Ill add 11r/action hour/22 deepstack and such.
@Iwinufail: Ty!
Last month was alright, ton of final tables but couldnt win any of the bigger ones. Failed to get above 40% roi (30something) but got enough volume in which is good.
Sharkscope has missed about 250 games for some reason and has me up 2kish too much, not sure what went wrong.
Finishing positions:
So the plan for this month:
- 1k games
- 40% roi
- Get more 1st places than 3/55
July: Decent downswing in the middle but glad I recovered, reached the roi goal and won 5 mtts instead of 3 in june but again smaller ones, I had 2 3rd places that were bigger than any 1st. Lacked a bit in the volume part.
Still Doing very fine i see japie, how much of the games youve played were on stars?
August: Was on a holiday to Lisbon (awesome city) and after that had a multi day festival and obv got sick after that. I played 46 games on stars in that last graph. I sold a package for WCOOP and will be playing a lot of monster sessions which naturally have more stars mtts in them this month.
Lol volume and results:
September goals apart from WCOOP:
-1500 games
-40%+ roi
-Skipping the 50eu's because I focus too much on them, leading to non-optimal play in both the 50eus and the other mtts I have going on.
WCOOP:
-Dont brick them all.
September was a pretty good month. Sold between 50-80% on every mtt above 55, most with mark up so didnt lose much there at all. Happy with results up to 55. Havent played in 3 weeks now but starting today I will get some games in. Im gonna try and make this "blog" a little more active by posting some hands that I played horrible or semi-good, or are funny to me.
