Kick Ass Poker Secrets
Arts EntertainmentsAs an avid online poker player, especially with Sit & Gos tournaments and multi-table tournaments like guaranteed tournaments, I think you are about to discover secrets that I never knew existed. Let me start by saying that I came across a young man, young by my standards as I am in my 60s and barely 25.
First let me tell you a little about his life: it is something inspiring since he is a normal boy like everyone else. He works very hard on everything he sets out to do. Ironically, by telling your story, you hope to inspire other people to set BIG goals and have the discipline and the will to do whatever it takes … because the only failure in life is giving up.
So here is this young man who at a very young age learns to play chess with his father. Over time, he gets so good at it that he beats up his father most of the time. Continue playing chess throughout middle and high school.
While in high school (between the ninth and tenth grade), he begins to play the trumpet and forms a band. At one point, he suddenly takes playing the trumpet very seriously and finds himself playing 6 hours a day. Over time he becomes the best trumpeter in his county, playing different events between 11th and 12th grades. It was then that he learned a lot about pressure, which later paid off for him in poker. Because, when you play in front of crowds, you are under enormous pressure and you need to learn to fail eloquently.
In his words, “Most online players have never achieved much in their lives, and when they start to get better at poker, they don’t know how to control their ego. You have to learn to keep your ego in check. Nobody is like that. Good “.
As a teenager (16-17), he had different jobs like McDonald’s, but eventually got a job at an airport fueling planes. The job came with a lot of downtime, which allowed him to study poker a lot, especially Hold’em.
At around 19 years old, he deposited $ 50 online at a particular site to play poker. He played limits of 25 to 50 and raised it to around $ 5000 in bankroll. Then he switched to a well-known gambling site, 4 tables of 15 to 30 limit tables, and went up to 30 to 60 limit tables, which at the time were the highest limit tables he could have online. The problem was … he just couldn’t beat them and he got very frustrated and depressed about it.
So one day, he decided to switch to SitNGos, and although he didn’t know much about it, he ended up making $ 10,000 in about a month. Still at the age of 19, he decided to quit his job at the airport because it didn’t make much sense for him to continue working when he had a bankroll of $ 15,000 playing online poker.
He had also gone to college at the time studying engineering, and it was too difficult for him when all he was doing was spending his spare time playing poker. And anyway, it became clear to him that he could never make that amount of money initially as an engineer. Although he admits that everyone should have a backup plan (a college degree), he eventually dropped out of college.
After leaving college, a certain site started setting ever higher limits on SitNGos, up to $ 2000 SitNGos, which he played quite frequently. They also had a STEP SitNGo for a Mediterranean cruise that they won. By the time he won this tournament, he had a bankroll of approximately $ 80,000.
I think you get the idea … but this story ends by saying that when this young man turned 21, he won over $ 500,000 playing online poker in multi-table No Limit Hold Em, and at 21 he played his first major tournament at the WPT and won. He has earned more than $ 4,000,000. in tournaments when he turned 23.
He continues to live in BIG BUY IN tournaments on tour.
The moral here is: Set BIG goals and have the will and discipline to learn and do ANYTHING it takes … because SUCCESS is never giving up! I will add to this at the ripe old age of 62, “that YOUR FEAR OF LOSING is your worst enemy.”
