Hi everyone ;)

I will introduce myself to Run It Once :D
My name is Calvin, Im 21 years old and I live in Holland.
I was graduated as chemical analyst last summer and decided to give a shot at playing online poker professionally for one year. Why?Because i was a little bit burned from being at school and internship for around 3.5 years. During that time i've played poker in weekends and wanted to give a shot after I graduated.

Some background information about me:
I started to play poker after school with my friends when I was 17th. Started to play a lot at Facebook and was winning all the time, so I thought. Im really good at playing poker. At my 18th birthday. I deposited around 80 Euros on Pokerstars and went broke. Then I decided to make another deposit in order to play 1.50 90man KO sngs, because I really loved that format. And grinded and switched to different formats at poker in the last 3 years. I've got decent succes and was a winning player, but never crushed at cash games, 45-180mans reg and turbos, won 3k in SCOOP 1K main event where I've qualified for nothing, hyper HU. And now Im playing zoom cash games.

After I graduated. I decided to take break for a year to play poker professionally. In the first 3 months it went okay for me.
My grind went okay'ish. I was able to grind my bankroll at 45man turbos and even covered my monthly cost. But after that i went on a downswing and I was a lil bit afraid that i couldnt play poker full time. And that was one of the first obstacles when i was playing full time.
So my gf advised me to look for a part time job. Which can cover my monthly cost without having much pressure at the poker tables. I followed her advise and it was a great idea to be honest.
Another obstacle were my parents. I still live with my parents and they are not really happy that im started to play poker when I was still at school. They said it will make you a bad person etc. I understand that my parents love me but they also have to understand that they have to open their mind for my arguments, which they didnt. So every time they walk around my room they will take a peek what im doing. Everytime they saw me playing poker they were mad all the time. But I ignored them. I've endured for 3 years by now. There are a lot of other things that my parents blamed me about playing poker, but i have to accept how it is right now. And thats why i decided to switch to zoom cash games if my parents are at work. The whole story is much longer than this, but I will pause for now.

But what are my plans right now? My goals on poker is, reaching 50nl zoom, studying and hoping to see some progression in poker. Outside poker, my goals are to get my driver licence before summer. And studying math and chemistry in order to qualify to be a teacher for kids around 12- 18 years. Forgot another important thing, fitness and living healthy.

How will I use this topic/ blog? I think i will update it mostly everydat as a checklist or something how everything went for me.

This is my schedule when im going to play poker and for my part time job:
