General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

Hello DC community

I've almost reached the 1 year mark for my time at DC and what a journey it was up the poker ladder. Last year on Dec.9 after having donked off $100 at 4NL, I decided to take poker seriously and forked out 6 month subscription to join deuces cracked.

1 year later my results while working a full time job http://img87.imageshack.us/i/yeargraph.jpg

Made over 100k at poker including rakeback + promotions and made the move from 4NL to taking shots at 2000NL.

After a year at DC, I can honestly say that DC community is the best on the internet.

I want to give a big thanks to the entire DC community and special thanks to my coaches here at DC: Phoinix, Tubasteve, Improva, Balugawhale. Honorable mention to Grindcore for becoming my inspiration to move up quickly.

I also wanted to give some of the knowlege I learned here at DC back to the community and I've talked to Balugawhale about becoming a coach. He encouraged the idea so I went out and offered 2 free coaching sessions to everyone on my secret HQ skype groups that I joined along the way. After coaching 6 students I found that I really do enjoy coaching and according to the people I've coached I'm a pretty good coach. Some of my students already expressed interest or have already paid for additonal session after the first 2 free sessions.

Hopefully the founders and producers notices this thread and give me an opportunity to coach for Deuces Cracked. I will continue to post on forums and contribute to the DC community regardless

Good god, you sir learn fast.

Which serie helped you the most?

So, so sick. Inspiring stuff, although slightly depressing too when I compare my progress over the last year with that. Time to reapply!

Also, on a scale of 1-10, how important was the coaching you received in helping you do so well?

Wow, congrats. Sick graph and always nice to see shoutouts back to DC.

Respect man... Wow in a year... That's some crazy shit...

Excellent stuff!

DC fo' life!

Love this story. Not many of the success stories start off in the micro micro level and climb up that high (let alone in a year).

I have been feeling like I am about finished with the game after 500K+ hands (breakeven=minor success). Honestly, if it wasn't for my paid DC subscription, I might have pull the plug on this dream already.

BLAH234, a huge thanks for sharing . These kind of stories really inspire me to keep working at it. It is really nice to be reminded that it can happen.

Krantz,
Can we get a member Blueprint of this guy (if he is willing to do it).

BTW, big kudos to whoever thought of that series title (The Blueprint).

WOW blah, this is the craziest graph ever!! Man I feel so sucky still stuck at 10NL
Giant grats on your amazing year, and the best of luck to you in the future. And yeah I have pretty much the same questions as hightower, maybe you can do like a little bio ITT and how you approached your poker development.

And yeah MAD LOVE TO DC!!!!!!!

i fully support making nan a DC coach. i coached him (among others of course), and now he's way better than me at poker. smart dude imo.

Did the thought of quitting your job enter your mind at any point?

Very nice graph Blah, you have progressed much further than I within a year. Wish I could figure out where I am going wrong so my graph can look this outstanding haha.

have you done any series recently Steve? I haven't really looked around here much but I was thinking the other day I haven't seen a series from you in a while.

Thanks guys for all your support. Answer some questions

Hightower: Coaching helps alot I would say 7 if you want to be pointed in the right directiion. I would never be able to grasp all the poker concepts so quickly without a coach.

Sneakers: I'll gladly do a blue print video if DC lets me

HandOverFist: I've thought about quitting my job by I still remeber the feeling of running bad for 70k hands which lasted 2.5 month. If was forced to play poker during that time I don't think I can play my A all the way. I will only quit my job once I have some other forms of variance free income or enough money saved up.

That's really impressive Nan. I've always seen you as very good player with an excelling poker mind. But I had no idea that you progressed so fast, that is VERY inspiring to say the least

Hope you will keep improving & hopefully have a chance to try playing with the even bigger boys!

Sick graph!
Congrats on achieving this in spite of the fulltime job.

With my job, I just do not have any time for grinding ( I could play only 100k hands tis year).
Can you give us some tips on how you were able to manage your time and get enough hands in?
Do you play all weekend and nights? If you are working 40 hours and grinding - how do you find time for other activities?

Very legit brag. Congrats.
