I have been a winning poker player for over 20 years. I have made a modest income and haven't tried to move up in many years. Last year I played mostly 2/5nl live and a little low stakes online. I had my worst-ever poker year due to low volume. I haven't played a single hand of live poker in 2025 but have been working to relearn how to beat 6m online for the last two months. Luckily the 50nl games are pretty soft and I still know a thing or two about poker - so I ran up the $600 I had online to ~3k. I am playing 100nl at the moment. The longer-term goal is to play much higher both online and live and make some real money.

My idea is to keep a training journal here. I have kept records of my workouts for over a decade. It has been a good source of motivation and learning. As a mental athlete(poker player) maybe there is something to gain from this. I plan to update my training once a week for at least the next 12 weeks. For the first 4 week block I plan to emphasize studying. Then more playing live poker play for the next 8 weeks as WSOP will be in town.

Next week's training plan for 3-4 hours of work 6 days -

1)finish watching all the Dominate with Data videos - 10 more videos
2)complete writing out standard lines in my Killpoormike playbook doc(most of this is already done)
3)add information from above that is worth memorizing to Anki cards
4)daily Anki card review
5)daily GTOW drilling

I intend to add one new habit this week of getting straight to work with 25m of Anki drilling with my first cup of coffee.
