My name is Pan. Currently, I am playing 6-max NL500 in a fenced pool. My trajectory changed forever in March 2023 when I joined a CFP—the single best decision of my poke life. I started with my very first online hand at NL25; today, I am establishing my footprint at NL500.

My sights are now set on a singular, definitive milestone: Consistently beating NL1k and NL2k, reg-battling included. I am not looking for the easy path; I am looking for the right one.

For years, I followed the journals of MM and PG here on Run It Once. While their results are legendary, it wasn't the money that captivated me—it was their systematic approach. They demystified the "poker genius" myth. They proved that elite success isn't a byproduct of innate IQ or "talent," but rather the result of a scientific framework and relentless, deliberate practice. I am a living testament to that philosophy. I started reading their words as an outsider; today, I am an active participant in that same pursuit of mastery.

For the past two years, I have kept my journals private within my stable. Today, I am moving them into the light. I am starting this blog to:

Document the Climb: Sharing the raw data—the studies, the reviews, the results, and the inevitable struggles.
Foster Growth: Inviting feedback from this community to sharpen my edges as I transition to 2kNL.
Prove the Framework: I want to shout out to Matt and the RIO community that: everything Matt shared for poker actually works. I want to be the evidence that any dedicated reg can follow this path to the top.

Quote Matt's words:

"Ultimately, if some 50nl reg with a dream reads this blog and decides
to adopt this mindset, taking my approach as a source of inspiration,
then sharing these things will be worthwhile to me."
