Next wrap is about my mini challenge, 107k VPPs in 4months...

OK so I had only 93k VPPs 1st of September. Wanted to hit 200k milestone, do it at only 30s 9/18mans. 2nd of September I droped 18mans and added 15s KOs...later on added 60s+ 9mans, so made it all with 9mans, at the very end few fifty50 and hyper 9mans. I also wanted to make 20,000$.

I SUCCEEDED! I did hit 200k milestone.
It took me 9235 sngs and 497 hours. Maybe lil different amount of sngs, SS vs HEM...but w/e...
I did make 18k post RB, 21,5k with sold action at 60s+. So basically I did finish also that 20k winnings mark.
My overall hourly was therefore about 40 dollars.
It helped me a lot coz I finally increased tablin a litle bit, eventually finally droped 15s - not playin em anymore I hope, realized that i can make almost 3$/per game at 30s 9mans. But am also limited with volume at purely 30s 9 mans and with playin lot of nonturbos it takes more time. But it ll still be the main part of games I ll play next months. Might shot these hypers to fill tables, I liked em. Might shot these 60s+ coz I must run better in em for sure...will decide soon what will i play...
40dollar/hour is sometin am happy with, i know i dont wanna play more tables or chase more RB...it is about wat I can get. Can be better with higher ABI..will see...

finally THE YEAR 2013 WRAP

It was the year I started with intention to fuckin crush 18mans. I woke up from that after continuin runbad even at lower stakes...if u ask me now i dunno why I played 15s 18mans...thn 15s KOs at the beginnin of year...from perspective now, big waste of my time :/ Also I was very lazy...so in March I believe I was for change playin only 60s/100s 9/18mans w/e was runnin, was successful. But still was playin max 80-90 hours month. Same or even worse for summer, was playin few hours but was doin good at 30s 9man...pretty much whole year, that is where I make money longterm and will keep doin it. At the end of year I pushed volume a bit and instead of 600 or 1100 games which was typical for months before, I played over 2k games since September every month. Also palyed 120 hours on average. Bam results at 30s where awesome..RB was awesome...also my family roll noticed the change :)

In other words...please Milan, dont be lazy...please stick to 30s 9mans and if u wann play diff formats as u always do, do it, but make 30s 9mans the core of your sessions so u make money steadily :)

2013 I didnt have any mtt success or live event success...I didnt gave it a chance really coz I didnt play many, almost none.

I did increase bumber of guys I coached...staked...staked/coached and made solid money. Will continue to do that, more thn I did last months.

My study time is dropin, need to work on that...hopefully hit longterm downer so i ll have motivation...kiddin, pls nooo...

SS leaderboards - was jumpin between 1st-4th place 30s 9m both turbo and nonturbo profit leaderboard, also 500/100 streak, same for counts...NONE platinum but 6 gold stars collected. I must say I still care more about 2011 4th place 15s total profit star when I played only 6 months at Stars and guys on front of me were abarone, sippin and roy4l pl4yor

I also think I made lot of friends in community this yar, I hope I didnt f* anyone or wasnt nice to anyone.

I was a guest coach on Collin Moshmans coachings LIVE few times - achievement I wouldnt dream about.

OK giraffe and numbers, lil +- will use SS combined with my excel shit I mean sheet.

excel data
games 18,507
hours 1093,7
profit 21,029$
VPPs 200,056
fpp value 11,203$
stellar 3,800$
BoP 2,280$

TOTAL +- 38,000$
HOURLY +- 35$/hour

+coaching/stakings +- 7,500$

Pretty much almost hit 50k/year and that makes me mooore thn happy :)

BIGGEST POKER success is that I am still poker pro and able to provide for my girls :)

Now some life 2013.
Daughter growin, everytin absolutely perfect, healthy, happy :) My wife endin dentist school in few months, only few exams left, already findin job. We have notin more to do in Brno so we ll move to epic attic flat in Pardubice, pictures in recent posts. My life is basically about my family. I realized I dont go much to pubs or dont sport much anymore but thats basically coz everyone of my friends recently droped Brno, out of school...so movin back in Pardubice = back in business - squash, football, golf, voleyball, pubs...also many changes will come in 2014 but...I should be talkin about 2013 W/e so in 2014 = movin to pardubice, makin better poker office in that flat, WSOP 2014 !!!!!! kindergarden for our daughter, prolly first job for my wife...:)

Poker wise 2014 will be...will post next days :)

GL ALL, wish u all the best, thx all for followin and support.

Excellent year for you Milan congratulations man!
Glad you completed your challenges , especially that 20k one from September on. That was tough to predict what would happen and you somehow made it - well played.
Look forward to this year and total support and respect for dedicating most of your time with your family and using poker as just a way to make a living.
All the best in 2014!

Hey guys...

thx all of u, really, I mean it !

Poker...not really started playin, too many things to do around movin from one flat to another and so on...will now concentrate on some coachings I did postpone and finally start playin.

SOUNDwise:
Got new soundcard, good old ASUS Xonar DG. It was recomended to me by few specialist as the best option for me. I do use only headphones and this card has its own headphone amp!!! It is one of the cheapest but best for headphones. So i plugged it in, installed - very nice software, super easy and seem like looot of possibilities includin virutal dolby for headphones and many mic settings..w/e.
THE SOUND is fuckin epic. Bass are now like...basically when u tune up bass it s like standin in front of the wall, I mean tekk wall of speakers. U can feel the membrane in the headphones!!! Have to even take down bass a bit now - and these Shures arent bass heavy so...lol ... gonna watch some movie and try virtual dolby and write about it. Now am really really enjoyin the sound of my fav music...next step BUY good quality audio files of my tracks :)
So..anyone who likes music a bit, sound qulity...invest only 130$ bucks, get mediocre headphones, cheap asus sound card and try it...just try it :)

thx ozziwar, GL!

OKey, sound test.

MAN OF STEEL - simply Superman :) - couldnt pick better movie to test it. Am not watchin almost any comics based movies as it dont interest me usually. But I remember watchin Superman as kid, I am familiar with the story and I saw stunnin ratings on that film. So I told myself, what can be worse thn just watchin nice piece, nice music from Hans Zimmer...
IT WAS SO AWESOME movie...this is how the film should be made. It s usin all the great things ppl can create thx to technology, it s just accurate I would say - it s over 2hours, u not bored any second, it goeas from born of Superman on Krypton, all the needed info in, perfectly described, shown, touchin, action...not gonna describe movie but...woooow :) And acting...perfect cast...Crowe and Costner as father and father...really cool movie - big difference is that this piece of art is not like...USA USA USA...no offence but most comics are about protectin USA, not Earth or it is thn shown like that at movies and it gets all silly in dialogues and all the flags...this one has also its USA part, but is just enough :)
This was great sci-fi, great romance, great action, super sweet cold moments like "U R NOT ALONE" scene...and none stupid "almost-dead-but-gonna-fight-and-win-hurray" scenes...

Sound - I ll not go to movies again... :D :D recommend 100%

GL

Hey guys..

not much poker goin on, played like 100 games only this month so far, but started few coachings/stakings I didnt have time for last months plus when i played like 2 sessions i droped tabling a bit and it felt so awesome :) Felt edgyyy

Spendin loot of time findin proper stuff in our new flat. I went to Pardubice to confirm and got the keys hurray, messured the rooms and now plannin wat to buy for our daughter as furniture, wat to buy me as a poker table...what TV, what TV furniture, what microwave...wat knifes...wat extra furniture to the main bedroom....just lol...:) But I enjoy spendin time and money on it, gonna be epic..
Thn shitty things like...movin...gettin some complany I guess coz it is movin 150kms and...imagin I would spend like 2 days movin it with my friends somehow unproffesionally...am I lazy or too confy? Wanna just pay the company, they will pack, unmount, unpack, mount, clean, insurance...done in afternoon...and not mentionin my back would hurt whole week after will see...

also coz of these things am havin trouble fallin asleep lately...as always when i got too much stuff to think about...u know, i go sleep and startin thinkin about stuff...instead of just shutin down :/ Should be more discipline and concentrate more on sleepin...

k gl :)

Moving stuff with friends is awesome cause you get to joke around and make fun in the way. After everything is done you treat them with some home brand booze and its gg
Picking moving company is faster but costs more , here in Serbia is like 40-50 euro hiring van and 2 workers :)

Can you suggest some new movies? I am sick past 2 days, have been watching movies and tv shows all day long in the bed with new laptop :) I know you watch a lot of stuff so recommend something good please!

Don't burn out, 100 games is plenty in January :P

40-50E? wow here it is about 500E+ actually...it is not in one city, so...but when u calc it it make sense, just consider gettin the van (big one), 2 guys, 350km total, all the shit around it....:/

Not havin time for movies much...but that Man of Steel epic...also liked chillin movie Internship (Vaighn and Wilson - if u like those guys...) And new Hobbit....

Check THIS , found it via Google
Basically for simple van + workers it goes from 3k to 6k dinars which is 25 to 55 euros or something :)

Watched Intership loved it, Hobit not such a big fan (expected much better ending) and Man of Steel haven't seen yet will look into it.

Thanks buddy

Well new hobit was just second part for series so it was not surprising at all that it ends in such way imo.

It just doesn't make sense to me to finish the movie that way. Its not just me either, I spoke to like 10 people who have seen it and maybe 2 people taught it was OK ending rest were very disappointed. Somebody also told me that somewhere abroad people were booing in cinema when movie ended etc

P.S. Past couple of days watched some older movies, Blades of Glory watch it if you haven't Will Ferrell kicks ass always :)

How is the poker going on for you :Din the new year?

I have a question for you mylan...If I am a beginer sng player, looking to start learning strategy and play from the low limits....if I start with 100-150$ on stars, which do you think are the easyest sng`s I could play, what format? I mean the ones that are full with fishes, and could bring me a solid BR faster?

Yeah not much :)
Playin 30s-100s 9mans, 30s-60s also hypers = still fun...Runnin bad even tho it s about BE result in 500 games or so :) Hypers rungood still and still feel kinda edgy...

Try 9mans, 1,5$...stick to basic strategies, tight, abc...it should work more thn great

Yeah, I will definitely try to grind 9max SNG`s, because I asked the same question to IvicaIliev and he recomended 9man SNG too...

But as I said to him too, can`t figure out if I should grind normal SNG`s or KO ones...I heard that KO SNG`s have more fishes(due to the bounty), but that bounty thing can also be a minus point if you don`t do an average of one elimination/sng...really dunno yet

I would assume there is no difficulty to find fish in 1.5$ games whatever speed or structure they are :)

Hey guys,

am lackin updates here but there s really not much about what...
Low volume...in terms of only few sessions this month. Not lazy but lot of stuff around moving and my wife endin school...also I have currently 8 horses includin few students i also coach = my business growin and i didnt eve try lol just kiddin, simply just usin my bankroll and catchin every opportunity I believe is +ev. I have for example student that never played 9mans - usin my 10h super quick method to teach him basics (worked before pretty nicely coz guy I used this on have 10% roi at 15s...). Also have student with ambitions on SNE next year and I kinda believe it s possible, he s very talented and hard working. It would be dream come true a lil different way, I mean I cant make SNE with my limited time (family first) and it would be epic to guide sometin to do it with my help...but thats future...Also few horses from cashgames, STTs that I dont coach...I love this area of poker and hopin to spread it in the future maybe...but only if I wouldnt enjoy playin myself as I do now.
So for my games, playin 30s-100s 9mans, low tabling like 12-14 tables to finally study more again and concentrate. I study hypers, inselecet 4 tables of 30s-60s on ym session, so it boosts my volume and I can handle it very easily - to imagin it I have 4 hyper tables tiled on my left and rest of 9mans stacked on my right + some bubbles pulled down/midlle w/e. I play like 3hrs session, make about 60 games which is very ok for me now. I started to use shyrkystrator to tableselect and it is just awesome program when u set it right, love it. BTW right now 30s turbos are the reggiest games, 60s turbos better, 100s turbos even better and 30s hypers super awesome fishfest when u select, 60s worse but also possible to select. My selection is based on my hundreds of regs colourcoded, so I asign to every type of reg some value, some value to unknowns and some value to fishes, sharky calc the total value of game and reg me or not. Not gonna go to details but i play games with usually 3unknowns/fishes+ and it is possible to have some tables. When I dont I load 30s fifty50 regspeeds - always fishy. This is the way am gonna play now...
SO far like 600 games, 1,5k+...
Hypers so far are maybe interesting coz am 2,5k up in 400 games. Lucky carddistribution I guess...but really when u select game with few fishes it means that these fishes stackoff so naively first levels, u gain doublestack and it s goldmine thn...might be really just hotrun talkin, but i love em so much right now, seems very soft to me...even most of regs are weak...compared to turbos.
PS icons - tablet/phones - thanx for another great tool to snap mark fishes ;)
TN1 - R.I.P. for good :( not workin anymore with any fixes...will have to try tn2 but...so scared...even tho i use it only for clickin timebanks and displayin BBs...

movies, music - watchin some, listenin some, notin exceptional, not in mood - tired or so...

gl guys
