PLO journey
Hi guys!
My name is Rok and I come from Slovenija, a small country in central Europe. I am 29 years old and finished Faculty of Law. I started playing poker about 5 years ago. I got a 50$ bonus on bwin and managed to grind it to 10k$. This was in a 2year period, but then I was geting close to finish school and get my degree, so I quit playing and cashed out. I haven't played serious since then.
But now in May i had 16$ on my PS account. I won a 3$ PLO tourney (actually we split three ways) and got 155$. Then I said let's give it a try and started playing PLO5 ZOOM. The rake is brutal but the players are very, very bad. So after about 25k hands at PLO$ ZOOM I now have around 275$ and want to see where this is going.
I have a job and not much free time, but still I want to play a little more serious so I will set myself some poker goals and try to achieve them.
1. GOALS:
SHORT TERM GOALS:
[ ] play 20k hands per month, two tabling PLO5 ZOOM
[ ] be active on the forum as much as possible (hhs, comments, watching videos...)
MEDIUM TERM GOALS:
[ ] become a gold member on PokerStars
[ ] build a BR and climb to PLO25
LONG TERM GOALS:
[ ] don't have any actually regarding poker, will play just for fun and try to stick to this plan and we'll see where this is going
2. OTHER THINGS THAT I WILL TRY TO DO:
- set a stop loss and quit for half an hour or more, if I loose 4BI, quit for the day If i losee 8
-try to think out loud when there is an important decision in a hand to be made, use timebank and don't just click buttons or autopilot
-keep a diary where I write reviews of my play and give bad notes if I don't follow my guidelines
3. BANKROLL MANAGEMENT:
Starting money: 275$
Starting limit: PLO5
PLO10-350$, move down to PLO5 if I reach 300$
PLO25-750$, move down to PLO10 if I reach 625$
I am writing this mainly for myself, but if you guys have any comments, ideas, suggestions about anything, please let me know. I hope you will crush at the tables.
Will start playing later this week. GG ang GL, Rok.
