Had my first 10k month

I remember when people were telling you to not bother, no money left in poker, don't waste your time.. So sick. Congrats man, I'm sure you deserve it.

Is all your volume on stars?

Thanks man. Yeah it's sick many people said discouraging stuff but I can't really believe that when the guy who coached me is averaging 20-25k a month this year, and even though he's definitely very smart he's not a poker genius or the most prepared, theory oriented high stakes player either.

I play on Stars only, in a few months I'm moving to Malta and will be playing other sites aswell like black chip

n1. gl

neat

Cloud, you definitely motivated me more to start playing more poker and get better! Could I PM you for some questions at some point?

nice one

btw hows ur 100k by the end of the year going?

Congrats dude thats awesome. Im so jealous, I started around the same time as you and im stuck in a rut seemingly

are the euro cash games different or segregated from us dollars ones? I play 50zoom on stars and ive never seen a euro zoom table, only regular cash game ones.

good luck man !!!

respect

god that's a lot of hours you put in

well done

looks good

is this ps.it?

Thanks everybody, this means so much to me. I've struggled so hard this year to learn poker and went through really rough times. Enjoying some success at the end feels great.

Didn't quite make it. I dropped the plan of going for supernova elite a few months ago and I will profit about a third of what I wanted. I'm still very happy because even though I showed absolutely no talent for this game from the start I became a winning player and that's the most important thing to me.

I play on Pokerstars.it because I am forced to play on italian poker sites from here. It's a bit softer than .com but rake is way higher, I would think winrate differs 1 to 2 bb from Stars.com at the stakes I play

There is a lot of variance involved, don`t care about it too much. Did You really played 150k hands in one month or I misread something? How many yours did You put in?

150k hands/month is my standard workload. It's not much really, I get to play 800-950hands/hour (depends if I'm mixing some 200 normal with 4 zoom) so if I played like I'm on a 6/7 full time job it would be 180k+ hands.
This is not an exact calendar month though because I've taken a 3 and a half week break from poker in november, but if we exclude those 3 weeks it's a full month worth of grinding. I also don't have rest days so I get to spread my hours more evenly throughout the week, which makes it a bit easier.

jesus man, those are some amazing results. keep playing if you can make money, you belong to the 1% of new players coming though which is why people tend to discourage others from continuing to make this a full time job. if you can make money and grow it why not? for every one guy who gets results like those there are probably a hundred who fail so if you are some insane outlier then thats good. no amount of negative advice can keep you from doing this. good luck and merry christmas (winning feels amazing hahah)

Congrats on your improvement and on your big month!

Keep up the good work~

this is cool, good job

doesn't change much, but i think ps.it is A LOT softer then .com, but doesn't change the fact that even in soft games, your winrate is excellent,

keep it up.

You are right about .it being a lot softer, but that mostly applies to NL400+
NL100 is not so much easier than .com, regs are a little bit worse but there are also way less recreationals. People who have done well at NL100 on stars.it had about similar results when they moved on stars.com
