Hello my name is Thomas and I'm 22 years old.
I study at a buisness college in Denmark and I live in the middle part of Jutland.
I've played poker since I was 18 and I the first 2 years I made around 5.000$ on Full Tilt playing SNG & MTT, then disaster struck!
Every since Black friday my motivation towards poker has been almost gone.
I've always loved playing poker and I can't imagine a life without, and why?
Poker taught me to control my emotions, and it taught me great discpline.
Most importantly it taught me how to think about money and how life can be without it.
I'm a simple and straightfoward guy and I am making this blog to share my experiences with you.
At the moment I'm playing NL10, because I can't fit MTT into my studies, but that's a good thing, cos' when the truth is to be told, I sincerly suck at MTTs.
I can't count how many min cashes I've acquired throughout my life and I'm not going back untill I have a solid strategy.
5 days ago I was considering taking a break from poker due to the fact that I was breakeven most of the time, and the remaining time I was losing at the most retarded ways.
This is the time for me to take myself seriously, periode, so here is my plan on how to make my dream come true atleast the first part of the way, cos I feel that to reach a goal you have to have precise focus at your first major climb, and when that has been reached, it's time to set a new concrete goal once again.
I've always played NL10, but never with any success, but that is coming to and end now!
This is me after deciding to stop thinking I was someone special at poker. I told myself the following and suddenly (WARNING: cliché incoming) the universe was rewarding me for rational thinking.
STOP OVERPLAY ANY MARGINAL HAND
STOP 3-BETTING RANDOMLY
STOP 4 AND 5-BETTING LIKE A DRUNK TILT MONKEY
STOP PLAYING WITHOUT A STANDARD SHC
STOP PLAYING WHILE LACKING SLEEP OR STRESSED IN ANY WAY
STOP CHECK/CALLING WHEN IN DOUBT (BET OR FOLD ONLY)
STOP THE FLOATING WHEN SUPER NITS & SIMILER OPPONENTS SHOWS AGGRESSION
STOP PLAYING WITH A HUD I DON'T UNDERSTAND
STOP THINKING I AM THE BEST POKER PLAYER IN THE WORLD
This my graph before implementing these ideas/thoughts into my thick skull
BEFORE THE 7th OF MARCH

AFTER THE 7th of MARCH: (ONLY 4 DAYS AT NL10)

These past 4 days I've done the unthinkable, and that was to overcome my own retarded ways of thinking, but it happened ONLY cos I got fed up with losing and the fact that I was wasting my life completely while playing poker.
I play poker to win money. I player poker cos it's super exciting and it challenges me enourmously. I player poker to have success, and when I make a profitable play I tend to smile every fucking time, cos it's ALL BECAUSE OF ME.
PLAN TO NL25!
Continue WITHOUT changing anything or doing anything differently and when I have 30 buy-ins (750$) I'll try NL25.
I hope you'll follow me on my way of becoming an NL25 Pro ![]()
I'll be posting weekly graphs so you can watch my progress, but also ill be sharing my thoughts when implementing new ideas etc.
Hope you'r all doing great!
This is it for me, but expect much more!
Have a nice day

(Conclusion: Once I stoped bullshitting myself, I started to realize how pathetic I was at poker, and that brought me back to reality.)
