yeah, my wrist started hurting after 25mins of play, but really enjoyed playing even if I'm complete fish. But this morning haven't felt anything bad except legs with a light hurt. So tomorrow one more hour. :heart:

Since the last time it was a pretty long break without royal flush, I remember last time I had two in one week. This is my 7th and the most valuable :f_cool:

Yay exams session is officially over!

The last one has just happened, and it didn't last for me too long. I made everyone laugh, because after 2 mins when everyone sat down to write I stand up to bring the papers to the lecturer. That's the advantage of getting max point during the semester. _cool:

January was not bad month overall, but I really fucked up my results in the end of the month. Graph is breakeven, but to sum up everything, bonuses, live games total ~+2000$.

In February I hope atleast double better results and by the end of this month I would be happy to have a chance to shoot at NL200.

Still working on my productivness. I'm making a big steps towards a baller lifestyle last weeks.

Also decided to take a chance to satellite to GSOP in Marbella in April. Package is 3000$. Already won a ticket worth 320$ and 54$ to weekly finals, I really feel that I will get that package and will have a nice short vacation in April.

No graphs for now, coz they really look sad, because of last days of January, will try to make February graph look more sexy :f_cool:

And one more thing, decided to take a shot at coaching. Offered my one friend, who is complete fish, to teach him to beat micros at least. So if it works he will be good commercial for my career as coach one day

That's it for now, to be continued _cool:

I have no idea too :f_biggrin: I'm not 21 so I can't go to casino. I was playing home games with some rich guys in my hometown. Blinds was 2/2 in local currency, sat down with 200 and ended having 1900 in front of me I love playing against drunk and rich ppl :f_biggrin:

I'm not a MTT player I play them just 4fun. In early stage I just pick up good starting hands and play like cash games and then just push or fold stage comes, coz I usually play turbo tourneys. Just chin up, keep palying, work on your game also work on your mental game, coz it's reaaallyy important.

Nothing special going this month so far. Zoom is pretty nice, ~1700$ up this month so far, so not bad. Still trying to get a package for GSOP Marbella, hope to win it ASAP.

Also sent my position stats for pleno to analyse, can't wait to see the results.

Don't know what to write anymore, so that's it for now _cool:

Yaaawwn, just woke up and decided to update my blog a little bit.

So, yesterday played in my organised sports poker event of my university. Ended 3rd of 100 participants. Pretty nice feeling, when so much people came to play, was really fun tourney, when you see much friends around playing, all having a great time and the hero of this evening is me, coz everyone came here because I invited them :f_cool:

Online poker is not so bad this month, I could say really swingy, my results were jumping from +2000$ to break-even and now again at 2000$. Also feel that my game improves much last days, getting more and more confident about my game, soon, when I'll get a little safier bankroll, I'm planning to shoot at NL200 zoom and test the water there _cool:

Don't have anything else much to say, life is good, but still need more, I want to travel somewhere soon, still haven't a package for GSOP, but I have almost two more months for that, I hope that I'll catch one and have a great trip to Spain :)

So, that's it for now. C ya! :f_cool:
