Making Progress in Poker - Confessions

[redboy23]

Hello Poker Fans,

I have played poker for many years and although I wanted to make money, there was no effort to study and review my hands. As a result, I spent many years winning money and losing everything. Even after I completed the 30-Day Poker School, variance or tilt would get me eventually. It was only after I set poker goals, that I began to see progress and started moving up in stakes. I now have a $100 bankroll and hope to move up to $200 soon so that I can pay to play $2.00 Multi-table tournaments.

The path to progress in poker is different for everyone, so I invite you to share - "What made a breakthrough for you in the game of poker".

I took the 30-Day Poker School Course

Set a poker goal to play only freerolls until I had a $100 bankroll

Set another goal to finish in the top 70% of the field in at least 50% of the tournaments that I play.

See my Zero Bankroll Builder Challenge - feel free to subscribe and share your goal link with me, so we can cheer each other on.

Now, I have decided to try to participate in the Team League matches at least twice each year. Being the Captain of a team is a very rewarding process - I enjoy it a lot!

So poker fans, share your breakthrough moments here

Awesome man, way to go. Keep up the good work and your eye on the prize.
I myself have stepped up my game a bit. It's no longer just fun and games anymore. It's bill $, gas $, and food... LOL. So, I empathize w/you on setting and reaching goals. Don't get me wrong, I still have fun, every time I drag in a pot. I'm really having fun being my own boss, though. That is a definite plus. GL.

Good luck!
Tournaments at that buy-in level require patience, you will find many calling stations. Most players don't think beyond level two. if they are in the pot, they have some board connection and in general won't fold. bluffing becomes less optimal, these players like to see showdowns.

Nice to read your story and great work!
It inspires me to create a path with goals for myself. Now i play some games of everything without goals (yeah only winning ofcourse 😛) and than i reconige something from your story its winning and than losing a lot withoutbuilding up something.
I think its something i miss.
Thanks for inspiring me!
