To help stay disciplined and accountable. I decided to recently start vlogging, with the goal of releasing one episode every 6-10 days and playing only once a week during peak hours on either Friday or Saturdays. Spending more time editing and reviewing hands on a daily basis, and less time at the tables I think will help keep me to stay busy instead of falling into old habits. I’m up in poker for the year, but blew my bankroll on sports betting and chasing losses on sports that I don’t even watch, like tennis! I didn’t touch my bankroll for the entire 2026 year until mid March and was able to play consistently at 1/3 buying in for the max ($500). This has been a recurring theme, and I vowed 2026 would be different and started off so strong with BRM. I just banned myself from all of the apps for whatever their cool off period is (some 4 weeks, and some 1 year). I’m hoping substituting with vlogging will help me stay accountable, plug my leaks and keep me away from habits that are drowning me. I edited my first vlog and can already see improvement in my thought process. Even though I was running bad AND playing bad. My first day filming at the tables was kind of nerve wracking and wasn’t sure if it was the right decision. I’m starting to feel a bit more comfortable now and am hoping to keep progressing. Let’s continue to progress in Breaking the Cycle 🤞

Hello guys, My name is Henning, I‘m 25 years old and originally from Germany. I study abroad in the US at the moment near Chicago and play Poker for around 8-9 years now. I also wanna bring my game to a different level and meet people with the same goals I have. Started a YouTube channel as well this year to film my journey in just being more consistent, making the right decisions off and on the table and just try to always play my A-Game! But the problem I sometimes have is that after I play a bad session. I wanna try to get it back immediately the next day. Still a little bit tilted I lost another couple buyins and just played bad Poker instead off taking some days off and reflect.
