2k Online to Millions !
Hello, firstly, sorry for my english. I'm spanish .. Not my fault 🙄
I was " Pro " 2 year ago, winning a lot in Tourney 1
You are the GOAT! What sites do you play sir? please post more often your blog is a gold mine. gl
Isildur1 <3
Was fun to watch yes but actually he was the big spot, a whale everyone wanted to play him during Eldorado, he finished broke so clearly not a goat!
OP seems to be headed down the same path tho acknowledging he needs to make a shift.
Made $65k at NL in 9 days then moved up to 50/1 and 100/200 PLO5 and dumped it with no indication from this blog he should be playing either PLO5 or those stakes. Very Isilduresque. He says his drive is to “be the best” but seems way more like his drive is chasing a rush/high atm. Hopefully he gets this corrected
What a fail, im just total broke, need to be honest with my self
Can’t play anymore money, just get it off for savings
I lost around 150k$ last 2 weeks, completly ****ed by EV, but my fault anyway
Finally my challenge 2k to million was done, but im actually back at 2k.
That’s the story
1.4m$ lost in 10 months.
I probably deserve it, just need to go back in gym, reset emotionnal, focus health
Have only 2 way for now : gym / cashgame
No goal, just assume im a newbie, can only bumhunt for winnings :/ Lets back on 6 max ..
My goal for Coming week :
Stop every session if i did studiply 1 error / mistake
And don't look at my weekly wins/losses, just try to play as best as possible on EV+ tables, no more regwar, I've lost way too much money and energy. If one day I manage to secure $1 million in real estate, we'll think about it again.
Beside, I'd like to never look at my wins/losses again, stop counting my expenses, just try to optimize my grind, grow my bankroll, and use it only for the most profitable purposes possible.
Until now, I've always had the mindset that "a bankroll is designed to handle up to down a lot. « This is false, a bankroll is designed to optimize your EV on opportunities. You have 2 million, that's no reason to play all 10,000 live with turbo fields without recreate, you grind 1000/5000 and take the beautiful 10/25000
Having wasted this money will deprive me of magnificent opportunities to easily achieve great ROIs in certain expensive fields, and this is tragic. Being the best at poker isn't necessarily the one who's at the tables 24/7 and outfights everyone, but it could be the one who's made the most money by optimizing their EV. In the end, I've played so many hours that I'm the ridiculous guy who plays tired against in-form opponents. All this makes no sense and needs to change.
Being a pro at hold'em doesn't mean my bankroll has to be at risk for rummy/omaha/trading or whatever. Every business is different and you have to start from scratch. It's only in movies where you're suicidal that you can afford to reinvest a large portion in an area with little knowledge. It's like receiving an inheritance and arriving with all that money in a new field. Diversity is one thing, but you have to prove yourself before investing heavily.
go rebuild sir you are the goat at it!

I like you Spaniard. I shall cheer for you.
Damn what a ride 😃
What a roller coaster this is. Thread absolutely delivers. GL OP...
what is your plan then now? Gonna continue with poker? From busto to robusto? You are a legend very strong mentally! gl
up legend!
I've been playing a lot, in highstake,
Was Up +100k$, finally around 35/40. Still always 2025 at - 145k€ ~
Its official, my first year down in Poker, I realize that I have tried too hard with the game these past few months, whereas what allowed me to succeed, especially last year, was simply playing for pleasure, rarely but with quality.
Today I feel sick of gambling. I'm thinking of going back to a normal, demanding job in sports. I absolutely have to get back in shape for this goal; this will be my new job. As for poker, I'm starting from scratch with 25 buy-ins on a poker room, focusing on bankroll management. I'm restarting at NL100, like I did last year, simply seeing poker as my only game, playing purely out of passion and not forcing myself. Great if the results come, and no big deal if they don't. As long as I'm in top health thanks to my sports training, that's what matters most.
This challenge is going to be tough. I easily have $5,000, maybe even $6,000 in mandatory monthly expenses with rent, family, etc. Starting back at NL100 with $3,000 is going to be very difficult. If necessary, I'll dip into my savings, which I'd like to avoid. Let's give it until July 2026 and see where we stand. In any case, I'm ruling out any high-stakes online poker before reaching 500 buy-ins (2.5 million for NL5k). We'll see where this remaining $3,000 leads. One thing is for sure: no shitcoins, only BTC. Even ETH, when you look at it objectively, is way overvalued.
The company generates around $3 billion in revenue, which is about the same as most companies with a similar market capitalization.
It generates 10x more revenue, there's a problem with the matrix. Just speculating and hoping it will turn the world upside down, BTC will have turned the world upside down, I think ETH is very far from that. And I say this myself, still holding a fair amount in my shitcoin with its 450 million ~ completely overvalued in hindsight, but who knows...
For me, the altcoin market will be a good investment when it has divided by 3 to 4x (which is actually a likely scenario in the coming months, while we wait for this MicroStrategy-style challenge to begin, good luck to me).
Oh yes, I unfortunately lost 60,000 in one night earlier this week. It brought me down a peg or two after that recent high. Honestly, I felt really awful afterward, even in bed. I've rarely felt so down. It's time to distance myself from these highs. I'm excluding myself from the various platforms offering expensive games for five months. If I make 125k online by then, I might feel compelled to go back to Battle Royale.
I think I absolutely must implement this system: anything that's cashed out will never again be added to any bankroll, and my live bankroll also needs to restart with two separate, unmixable bankrolls.
GL with your decision, I hope you make it to HS again 😀
Hi goat can we have an update thanks gl
??
up
Hello, have to be back for some news.
My last message, is always .. Same situation 6 months later, finally end 2025 at - 160k€.
2026 was crazy, Up + 184k$ around 16 March and since, big downsing, lose everyday.
Actually, around + 85k$
But i feel verybad, some much spending, fees in hotel and Again losing money in crypto in january / february by down IRAN etc .. ZzzzZzZz
Actually every session are verybad for me, i feel make some wrong move / punt, probably need to break up, and come back Sunday, fresh. I've did a back to the gym, i feel good on this point, i've to reach it, honestly disappointed about poker, i don't trust anymore this game. Too much variance, only way to trust are some game low variance with big volume possible, not 400 tournaments live for 3 years grindind / 2000 MTT Only for grinding sunday every week tour. Even with 100% ROI, this variance is insane.
regwar Heads-up with 2/3bb 100, no words for this ****.
Cash game live with ****ing naab but still playing 20 hand by hour on 1 ****ing table for max 3000 hand of fullring in 15 day of 10h grinding, just lol. What a ****.
My result in live since 2/4 years are so ****ing bad with fees, not even sure winning with money spend in night of liveweek count aha
I feel old, 11 years in this game, ****ing low around 345 000 $, I feel broke, i Feel debt, can't do anything else than this game, no study, a familly.
Probably never can't be back in high :(
Challenge myself with like 4.5 hand in 200/1000 stake of Cash
Lol, while writing, just lost in 10/20 online against whale aggro, 4bet OOP AA UTG vs CO
Flop A83r, i 25%, he call, turn2 open a fdraw, i C/Call his 33% bet, and C/C river on T with flush
86 of flush, Ahhahah, this game is ****ing boring, everyday, every session, and this online look so rigged river. Its incredible.
ZZzzzz, just gonna focus health, only i can control .. Oh wait .. xD
Yea i'm boring from this game, really, oh and i recently got " ban " from coinpoker, because my girlfriend close her account, so they told me, maybe it was your, so you can't play anymore Ahahaha
Highstake are dead anyway, you can only regwar and hope to be more lucky
Yea, lets try to play 4.5M hand of Nl200 / Nl1000 in 5 years xD Probably only way to afford variance in this **** game.
I should share back every week / report result feeling, think it's good for me, grind alone is very hard for motivation, and i would like let u know, i've check some about solana.
It's one of the only crypto, making some good result, don't have exact number in memory, but like 3mds profit / year for just 56mds ~
For a crypto project, theses number look good for a safety invest so i'm now back in Solana since he down to 80$ ~
GL GL GL following!
lol im amazed the OP is still alive at this stage! But i mean it when i say i wish you all the best man, i hope to read one day that you made millions and somehow had it in you to check out from the game with that cash and relax for a bit. Take it easy man, take care and good luck. :-)
nice update ty, what was your nick on CP ?
Carlos3, have battle mainly in HU in end of 2024, since negociation with Coin to participate in championship were verybad, but its ok, they let me withdraw chill 200k$, some room can be just dumb, just hope 1 day they let me opportunities to review it.
But I didnt get it, you still in debt or you have 85k on your own?
I still have some money, around $300k to date. But I have to be honest with myself, I can't really see myself losing it. After so many years of poker, it's supposed to be my minimum security for retirement.
I think it's something many players forget: putting money aside. You can't consider all your money as play money, so it creates a kind of personal debt below a certain threshold.
So, as usual, I'm used to showing you cool graphs, but here's my latest one in a really disgusting Hold'em game. It's been a while since I've had such a catastrophic downswing on 40k hands.

- 18 BI Ev actually in 10/20 for 10k hands, hmm ok why not
Think remember worst down are around at 35 BI.

Down, worst and worst.

Think i wons a bit in live, probably + 6 500 € in 2026 for everything.
We are gonna be in June, While i spend always .. 6 000 € Month and still always losing in invest 😃
I've to really be back, tryhard, 6/15h per day, focus hard, spend 0 or im gonna finish in mcdo soon.
Think really just try to focus wins just 50€/h but with a lot of playing would be fine, like 50h/Week +, midstake, no choice to survive and be back, i need too my brain / memory grow up etc..
