Take poker seriously

Published: Jan 11th, 2009
For start, let me introduce self shortly. My name is Jozef, 19yrs, from Slovakia.

I have „played“ poker over two yeras. My beggining was playing a lot of freerolls and when I accumulate a few bucks, play without concept and strategy (bankroll managment etc.) like typically fish. I went broke a lot of times from 50 to 500 usd over and over again. General reason was simple – tilt and violation rules of BM even when I knew can beat the game.

But step by step I discovered that about very profitable when player follow basic rules and avoid tilt. I have known people who make for a living playing a poker, read a lot of articles about poker. So I decide from new year I take poker really seriously. I will be specialize on SnG and MTTs. My initial bankroll is about 1.5K, that be quite enough for 10-30usd (include turbo and DoN). With 62% rakeback on OnGame it should be not problem make 1K profit for a month. Among other my general goals is travelling on live events accross Europe (especially via satellits). Travelling is main reason, what I decide to play poker. Gain experience, meeting people, discover places etc. And finally I love poker.

So there is my general goal in horizont 3 months.(line-up for the most important)

Poker goals:

  • make 1K profits/months

  • deeper study poker (MTTs, SnG, Books reading etc.)

  • <span>take a part on Irish Open or Budapest Unibet Open or</span>ECPokerTour Salzburg (at least 1 )

  • something hit on FTOPS
Non-poker goals:

  • resolve personall stuff

  • spending less time on PC, more with friends

  • attend regullary gym

  • sporting

  • <span>trip by </span>the British Isles
