Hey guys,
I guess it's time to start my blog too. I actually used to have one back in the days (but in another community) and probably didn't make the best use out of it, for one reason or another. I've been wondering for quite a while whether or not it would actually be beneficial to me but finally decided to give it a go and see what happens. ![:]](https://www.pokerstrategy.com/_forum-runtime/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/emoticons/pokerstrategy-legacy/basics/pleased.gif ":]")
My name is Slav and I'm 25 years old. I'm from Bulgaria where the government is pretty much trying to kill the online poker industry. I started my poker adventure back in June 2011 along with my full-time job. The best thing about this job? I got to meet the most wonderful person I've ever met in my life. She's been my support throughout the years, been there during my best and worse days. She's my special one... My Precious 
I don't really want to dig too deep into my personal life here, after all it's a blog about poker and I guess nobody would be that interested anyways.
Not sure how many people play poker along with their full-time jobs? If you do, well then I guess you can share your own experiences below, find differences or maybe similarities? I noticed many people think that leaving their full-time job will allow them to play poker full-time, earn more money and live a better life by having the opportunity to spend more time with the loved ones. This may or may not be true...
When it comes to professional poker, what I've come to realize about it is that it's hard. It's extremely hard... harder than anyone could possibly imagine. It's very likely one of the hardest ways to make an easy living. This being said, your full-time job is great. You have to love it. You must love it. It helps you build a healthy poker bankroll without having to worry about whether or not you'll have a winning or a losing month, how you're going to pay the bills at the end of it and on top of that dealing with the likely frustration of having to go down a limit to avoid losing all you had been working for during the past years.
What comes out of this? Well unless your job totally sucks and you feel like you're completely wasting your time, it might not be something that goes totally against your dreams of swimming in cash and travelling around the world. It gives you the opportunity to get there by allowing you to make your bucks worrying only about getting your game to the next level. Once I realized that, suddenly both my job and poker became much more fun
I started playing NL100 a few months ago. At first sight I didn't find a whole lot of a difference between the NL50 and NL100 games. I thought I could beat the games as well as I was doing already. Well, we are all human and we can be wrong ♦ Fact is that regulars at NL100 just put you in a lot of tougher spots.
There is a fun read you can find below and I recommend everybody to give it a read. It might sound funny but at some extent it seems like every poker player suffers from this

Anyways, the post is getting too long already, I hope I'll be seeing you around. Most of all, whether you are the occasional poker player and poker fan, the part-time no limit grinder that draws the parallel between hard work and more hard work or the professional grinder that plays for a living, I really hope this blog will help you as much as I expect it to help me.
Crush the games, take care of the ones you love and enjoy life!
P.S: One of my favorite songs below! I don't insist on knowing anybody's name, but damn I wish I knew everybody's cards!
I play nl100 and I thought the exact same thing as you about the differene between nl50 and nl100, and just like you I was wrong
