I have been asking my self this quistion today, why poker? Im 28 years old, last year I lost everything, friendships, busniess and was depressed and lonely The one thing that kept me moving forward and be OK was Poker I remember the first time I opened a studying video and right after jumped on tournament and finished 10th out of 80 players That was the spark that im good, that im actually good for something... from that day on I've been grinding studying and living Poker. But in the last couple of days my entrepreneur self came back, and been asking me to build a busniess. And now im on a crossroads where my mind might be playing tricks on me (because he loves starting something new and leave it when it get bored) or it might really be an opportunity. I've been asking why poker? And yep also my entrepreneur self has its ways here, I want to build a coaching busniess for players and people like you... but first I should get the results here also. Imma head to nature right now to listen to mama earth what she is saying Holla

I need some good advice. I keep torching money, and making poor decisions. DM me I want to build a solid bankroll

I have played poker since 12 years ago, i saw some people playing, and i felt for the game, i got hellmuths book play like the pros and that was enough for me to dominate home games, than in 2022 i found out there was legal poker rooms and walked into Prime and started winning low stakes tournaments, i took it real serious and started studying the game and the people, this past year 2025 i made 47k in profits all tournaments, i now play $140, $300, $400 tournaments I have been consistent all this years, and i think the reason i am a winning poker player is because i have claim the ladder step by step, i have never skiped one step just because i have a bankroll i dont go play at games out of my reach, i dominated the freerolls in spades and other places, than i dominated the $80 tournaments at prime and tch, mostly 1 day events Started winning everywhere, champions my favorite spot, My new goal is to finish the year doing good in multi day tournaments !!! So guys I have access to Chip Leader Poker Coaching if anybody interested! Thanks for your time group!! LFG

Hi I’m David and I just recently turned 21 a couple months ago. I’ve only been playing poker for about a year and half but have been studying and playing multiple times a week seriously for the past 6 months. I’m in college so I mainly play home games or online. I was working two jobs last winter part time and was winning pretty decently at the .25/.50 home games I was playing so I decided to make the jump to 1/2. I was a small winner at 1/2 booking some huge wins but always came back and punted it off playing high asf chasing that dopamine at the table. I definitely was not properly rolled for this jump as I am/was an impulsive spender blowing my paychecks and winnings on clothes, weed, alcohol and other vices. I’m privileged and lucky to not have to worry about paying for tuition and housing with scholarships and these jobs really just served as fuel for my vices. I saw pretty much all other areas in my life decline during this time; health, sleep, relationships and school. I’ve also been struggling with depression the past 3 years due to a multitude of things in my personal life and I really felt like I hit rock bottom January/February of this year. I decided to make a change once my romantic relationship ended to better myself in all aspects of my life. This was around the same time Joey posted his first instagram reel. Joey inspired me to stay consistent and trust the process. I stopped smoking weed completely and have been slowly building healthy habits like eating right, going to the gym and aiming for 8 hours of sleep. Playing poker completely sober has done wonders for me as I feel a sense of clarity at the table I never have before. I have decided to take a break from poker besides small home games with my friends as I’ve been unemployed since March in order to prioritize my sleep and school work. I have an internship in Portland this summer. It’s a software engineering internship so I’ll be making decent money. As I work on building up my discipline in all aspects of my life, I wanted to build a proper bankroll for 1/2 and hopefully play some tournaments as well. I’m looking for any tips on building a bankroll for 1/2. I would love to play smaller stakes games live, but those are hard to find and I also prefer live over online.
