I have finally completed my degree in IT from University of Wollongong.
I received my results couple of days ago and was super happy, since I did supplementary exams right before Christmas, my graduation date will be mid year this year. The feeling of achieving this is somewhat overwhelming mixed with confidence boost.
Just the experience alone of being a uni student is priceless. University of Wollongong is probably the best University around the east coast of Australia, it's right next to the beach and super laid back.
This year I'm basically going to focus on making as much money as I can and invest it in a start up by the end of the year.(Hopefully)
POKER
I challenged myself to crush zoom last year mid year, but I lost focus during my last semester and ended up taking a big chunk out of my Bankroll before Christmas for the first time. I was basically a winning fish in the micros, however in the last few weeks I've actually had more time to look into my own database, and found lots of leaks and spots that needed improvement. My redline before looking and studying my own database was pretty much the opposite of my actual profits, since then I've been finding lots of spots to improve this.
Iām a winning recreational player up to 25nl 6 max, but lost all motivation and stopped playing last year.
Poker is not my main source of income but it is one of my favourite hobbies, so my roll was just sitting there and I hardly ever cash out.
This year tho after not playing for so many months I decided to challenge myself, to beat the zoom games. Not in a mathematical view of xxbb/100 but in terms of how many buy ins I can win.
I have the same feeling of motivation at the moment for this game as I did when I first deposited my first $30 on PS and wanting to build.
Even tho Iām over rolled for 25nl, I started the challenge at 2nl zoom.
Goal: win 50 buy ins at each stake from 2nl up to 25nl zoom games 6 max. LETS GOOO BRAAHHS
