1st week (semi-pro)

The first week ended up and it couldn't be more dreadful!
These are the stats:

  • buyin:50€ played:218 ROI:-10.97% income:-1196.25€
  • buyin:30€ played:182 ROI: 0.40% income:21.70€
  • total * played:400 ROI:- 7.18% income:-1174,55€

How many sngs you can be running bad?

I am running bad 1200 sngs... and you?

2nd week (semi-pro)

The second week has been worst than the first!
These are the stats:

  • buyin:50€ played:147 ROI:-20.75% income:-1525.07€
  • buyin:30€ played:180 ROI:-14.56% income:-786.04€
  • total * played:327 ROI:-18.13% income:-2311.11€

It's clear that it's not just variance... there has to be something more... much more! Before I lose all, I immediately must change my plan by three ways:

  • reducing multitabling
  • forgetting about FPPs
  • playing much more focused

Ok, let's go... I'll let you know.

3rd week (semi-pro)

Another negative week on PokerStars, but a positive one on Full Tilt:

My previous poker plan has been terminated. Now I'm going to plan another one. Anyway, this week I have studied some strategic changes, based both on the opponents and on my nature. They seem to have been profitable on Full Tilt. Next week I'll test them on PokerStars, hoping that Spring will bring good news and good money Smile

Why I am confident despite last results

Many people are asking me why I am so confident with my new semi-pro career despite my last results. They say I made a big mistake going in part-time, halving my salary. They say "I told you, poker cannot be an earning source".
Since I've gone semi-pro, I have lost 4000€ (=5380$) in less than a month.
They seem to be right to tell me that I made a big mistake... they seem also right to suggest me to abandon poker and to ask for full-time job again (and full salary).
