Hi guys,
My name is Mukesh , 41, I am from India and playing NL 6 max cash games since last 3 yrs as part timer, Now decided to take new leap to play full time and go pro from new year.
Poker is very unorthodox profession in India, but I am going for it. I’ve lot of ups and downs in my life with few business fails, bad debts, etc. Fortunately I got strong family support during those days.
I am writing this journal to more discipline, responsible, Accountable and keep motivated myself to go ahead. I applied to BrPc staking but didn’t got throu.
I am currently play 100NL Indian Currency. I’ve also completed the course repeatedly :) A-game Masterclass By Elliot Roe to keep my improving my mental health.
My major strength: Discipline, Work Ethics.
My major weakness: Slow learner, Passive learning and not implementing in new strategy or theory in my game rapidly. (I have to work hard daily to get rid of this weakness)
Here are Results from last yes of 100NL

- To crush NL200+ at 5bb/100
- Clear the debts and start saving as much as I can.

Started this year with bang, coming 3rd in 3 way deal in one of the tournament for hefty 2.24L INR and started with good cash game sessions. More Motivation to grind and enjoy the process. started to shot at at some NL200 soft tables too.
stats till date for week.

Did they tell you why?
Best of luck with your career
Mainly because of I was part time player
Good luck!
How do you study? 6 days a week is often.
Yeah that's goal to study now. Will keep update in journal. Will be step by step process.
Gud luck bro!!!
You have taken a very brave decision and I have full confidence that this will prove to be the best decision of your life
You are very lucky then, I envy you, really.
I hope you the tables
I have one question about taxes in your country. Does the government still implement the absurd 30% tax on every winning?
Yes, actually it on total profit
in financial year.
Which is better than it used to be.
I recall that you had to pay winnings every time you leave the table or something like that, making the rake impossible to beat.
Well, I've subscribed to your journey, best of luck again
Sick results so far! GL for this year
2 weeks after full time, lot of things have changed in my routine.
I am loving the life, like what they say "love doing what u love"
Enjoying the process.
its something new for me to grind more then 3 times what used to on daily basis+ 2 hrs study added.
Study wise i am trying to solve the some though spots in Pio+flopzila.
Apart from this i am i am focusing mainly on flop c-beting Btn vs BB spots.
Do you guys recommend to practice what we study with Simple PF trainer ?
Mental:
I played mostly B game may be due to long grind which new to me,
i am losing some focus and getting tilted after some spots. I am working towards it.
Physical :
just exercised 1 day in week, has to increased it gradually in coming days.

I use GTO+ so that I can drill the spots I sim. I also use GTO Sensei on my phone to drill spots as well.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the process. It makes the grind so much more enjoyable. Stay positive and keep crushing!

Somehow i ended this month green, started month with bang then 15 days of downswing then covered up with some card rush in last week so pretty swingy month in terms of results.
Took shot on higher games which gone good. Table selection was important.
Volume wise very disappointed with myself due to some less energy and focus. Has to work on schedule, exercise and focus in coming month.
I took a week off to play live cash games, i grinded almost 50 hrs in 5 days but it didn't go as planned as it was difficult for me adjust in live scene nevertheless it was wonderful experience hopefully i will crush next time if i plan to go in near future. I was down nearly 5 BI.
Study wise happy with my efforts with study giving more time to PIO and agg reports.
Studying 3b oop.
Got some small winnings in PP and other site

hi,
updates of March ' 21
This month was disturbed as my family members were infected by Carona Virus.
I tried to avoid this mental distraction while playing but was unable to do so which turns out big mistake for poker then tilted in few sessions.
External Factor like this one will effect the poker grinding, Has to tackle this mental challenge while grinding. Hope extended mediation will help.
Poker wise results were break even with small profits this month with average volumes. Played few major tournaments this month, got 5th in one of the Tournament with payday of 1.5L INR
This month bonus were more then my winnings :)
so overall profitable month too.
Goals for April ' 21:
Increase the volume to achieve the Vegas promotion
Volume target 70K hands
Decrease the study time by 1 hr
Have a 1/2 - 1 hr daily Exercise
Play more on 50/100 where max profit comes from
Play 100/200 when fishes are der. No point to fighting with regs

Pretty important to make sure you can grind in the best environment possible. I'd be willing to quit sessions early if you don't think you can achieve your A game
update of April '21
HI,
This month i really get the taste of downswing, it mainly due to mindset aspect not much with technical. played mostly b-c game and continued my lossing streak for almost 15 days then slow climbed thanks to other site where i able to recover the losses.
so lesson learnt that I have continue the work on MIndset on daily basis session by session along with technical knowledge.
I applied to BrPc again and rejected again. Never mind will stick to do what i am doing currently. Enjoy the process of learning and playing.
Downswing effected in some volume also.. here are results from both site
Results:
Grpah adda52.com
Stats from Adda52.com
Below stats are in Indian Rupees
Spartan.com stats
so according the above stats i should consider other sites to grind as well, but there traffic is low but i will try put volumes on other sites as well.
Goals for this month
Volume : 55K+ hands on 50/100
Mindset goals : Start to write the journal along with other mindset routines.
Will keep it simple in this month and try to play solid as i can.
Study : HH Reivews and focus my study around 3b OOP.
