This is my graph on Pokerstars.com, the largest online poker platform and arguably the toughest to win on.

Would you believe that i've got less than $5,000 dollars to my name?

Well it's true! :( Nothing to be proud about.. but through bad spending, and being "backed" for a huge chunk of this graph... and a crazy European trip to impress a girl that ended up leaving me right after.

:(

But we live and we learn, hopefully if you are reading this.. be careful with your money.. invest and save it. Don't be like me who's able to recall a year of his life where he spent 65-70,000 dollars with no care...

I know what I have to do, its just a matter of overcoming the laziness and lack of focus at the tables. Like anyone else, if you are focused at your job, put in the hours... study... prepare.. and execute, you are very likely to succeed. Life is a game that favors volume, so maximize your opportunity by waking up earlier... working smarter and later... i'm sure you get the drift.

Hopefully the near future goes very well for me poker wise and i'm able to save better.

Cheers! thanks for reading.

This is my graph so far for 2017, i will make another post at the end of 2017 with the final results and hopefully crawl out of this little lack of money problem I seem to have lol.

Sort:  

still playing tournaments?, tried spins yet?, you can play shorter sessions, and you don't have to play >5h when you are tired.

also until the 30$ buy in, the games are really good - and its not incredibly hard to achieve 5% roi pre rb (well, stars gonna cut the rb anyways :|, still party poker/mpn/winamax left after that)

/€ anyway gl! :)

You got this IGT, like you said, you know what you have to do. Maybe you grind some extra pennies sharing your journey to success with steemit! Good luck out there brothel.
