Hi everyone new to the forum. I live in Liverpool UK. 22 I used to powerlift was a very sporty person but got injured badly. Started poker 2years ago started off like most a losing player kept losing bankrolls online, started studying and playing live at the local casino,
Tracked the last 6months, I work as a gas fitter Mon/Fri 8:30-5:30 earn 2.5k per month, I play poker Tue/Thur/Fri/sat/sun get in from work and get 3/4 hours sleep then head out. Play for 3hours then get another 3 before work. Roll Is currently £13,000 I had 35k 8 months ago but all of it went into a house mortgage and bills + living come to about 1k per month. I put in about 75-80hours per Month.
buy in for 500 effective stack most of the times about 200.
So the last 6 months goes like Nov £1700, Dec £1450, Jan £585, Feb £1429, mar £685.50, Apr (so far) £1013.50 please correct if wrong but I make out 75hrs x 6 = 450hours, 450 hours x 25(hands/hour) 11,259 earnings £6863 bb's 3431.5 30.5/100,
Travel costs come to £120 per month theres a £3 toll and £50 fuel cost but theres a casino opening 1st of may 5mins away and no toll!
I will try and keep posting as many sessions as I can, long term goals buy as much property as possible climb up in stakes and retire from work aged 35 short term goals I only play cash but take a shot at a ukipt and get this hip of mine fixed! Trying to get hip arthroscopy surgery. Would like people to follow my grind! Sam
