I’ve got to start playing more.

On avarage I can play one solid session in 3 days. At avarage of 1000 hands to make one buy-in profit it’ll take me about 300 days (100 days of play) to get to NL200.

And to think about it the money you do in NL200 is about 5ke to 12ke month, avaraging at about 8000€/month. That sucks. 8k is nothing. You cannot do anything fun with 8k per month. So to think about it you need to be able to play somewhere in the NL1K 2K or 5K in order to make enough money to live and enjoy living.

I’m still shocked. 8k while playing 30 days a month. 8 hours a day. that is just sick. If you played 7.5h a day and 21.5 days a month for 11 months a year (1month vacation) that would only be about 60k. I mean who the hell would work for 33,33€ per hour or less.

Well actually alot of people but that doesn’t mean that they like that.

Poker is the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do. Anything you learn from the book is useless without implementing it properly on the right level on the right opponent. Like playing flushdraw on smaller tables. They fall for it every single time. AXs, flop comes with 2 colors. you bet a pot or more with a draw. they call. turn card is blank, bet pot, call, river makes the flush. All-In. and they call with top twopair, trips, toppair, overpair, sometimes even with 2nd pair with A kicker. Same goes with straightdraws. Your implied odds are huge as you know that if they call you on flop they will call the turn/river as well. plus you get the fold equity. All with a hand that’s going to improve about 1 time out of 3.
