Well, I don't need more money and I don't love the game that much to just play and play for the sake of playing. Computer is bad for my health and concentration power. I've played poker for 4 years already and mastered a level where I can make a living if I happen to want to.

And yeah, as Boomer said it must be fun :f_p:

Awaiting epic trip report!!!

Little teaser: Taavi is travelling Europe without a mobile phone, any plan / pre-set destinations and even the slightest consideration about money (pure baller!) while playing Beethoven's sonatas on the piano and translating Nietzsche's Also sprach Zarathustra.

Starting from June 8th:

Bus Tartu-Tallinn, plane Tallinn-Frankfurt, train Frankfurt-Mainz. Two nights in Mainz, then got a 5-gear bike for 95 €, heading to Bonn. Expecting 2 days, wandered about a week (a map is for pussies). Two nights in Bonn, cycling back to Mainz, this time more to the east and using a map.

At the end the handle broke for the second time, so let's abandon it. Final ~70 km on foot, a nice walk for some days. Three nights in Mainz again, meanwhile attending Beethoven's ninth. Walking to the train station next morning, oh look, it's going to Vienna in 20 min.

July 1st in Vienna already. Why not settle myself in here in this nice city, bought a laptop to play poker, staying at hostels. But today I discovered that I have 3 eur something in cash and 4 something on the credit card. At least I got a dinner with TwiceT and a sister in Estonia who's gonna ship me my 3k from my another bank account. Too bad the banks don't work weekends, so hopefully something will arrive on Monday. Tomorrow I can discover the life of the poor.

Loving every single bit so far. Now focusing on putting myself together again and uniting the three pieces: piano, poker and poetry. Cheers! :f_biggrin:

Thanks man!

I am now settled in Vienna. I am staying here for the next two months. I have a nice big room in a nice apartment with nice student people around.

Here are some goals or things that I wanna do:

poker: solid winner at FL 10/20+
piano: appassionata
writing: translate Zarathustra to Estonian
yoga: full lotus

It is lovely that you can rent a big room with a really good grand piano for 5€/hour in Vienna! If I'm already there and have payed for it it is more likely that I put in some piano-volume. The yoga goal is to make sure that I practice daily, the side benefits are just too great. I also have motivation to grind poker now because I found out how to happily spend a lot of money - just go travel a bit :f_biggrin:

love it

Made a note while playing one guy hu: "donk sth on xxx", but the chatbox popped up and so I called him donk :/ And how could I make this up for him? - Sorry, dude, I didn't mean at all what I just said. I am just used to type "donk" elsewhere all the time - ? lol
