Haha yeah they have great stuff there. Thanks. If I remember it correctly you were also almost in fight vs two bigger guys ♦ I am gonna work my ass of to have better graph this year.
@Jumbleboy
Thanks. Since March 2013.
It’s time to sum up previous year. I sum up the same things over and over again to see how good I am dealing with those. Order is random all of them are must-improvement.
$ and Poker (9.5/10) – I am very happy with progress. I changed a lot. I was losing player, I’ve never been higher than nl25 6max I was losing there now, I am shooting at nl400 HU. I understood that to be rich I have to spend my money on right things, I used to be person who didn’t spend cash on anything, I am still fighting with it, but I am getting better and better. I am improved a lot as a poker pro, as a self-employee, as a businessman. I learn a lot from Gordon and everything. I think I could do much, much better. So why I am so happy about it? I just didn’t knew better, I am who I am, I have my own strengths and my own weaknesses, sometimes I just need to “hit the bottom” to learn something. In year my life savings and poker BR doubled. I am very, very happy about this aspects still I feel big hunger in this area, I can do so much better and this is going to be my main focus this year.
Relationships and friendships (9/10) – I am also very happy about it. I was overworking I didn’t have enough time to focus on this, still I strength few friendships that I wanted to, get rid of few friendships that was charming for me. Improved a lot my relationships with father. Had great relationship and was living with GF for month and a half or so. I’ve meet a lot of fantastic people. I’ve forced myself to approach directly to women, I tried few new things in bed. Had more sex than in previous year, go out with more women than in previous year. I am pretty happy about it as well. Also I improved a lot when it comes to talking with unknown chicks. It was hardcore for me at the beginning of the year, now I can easily talk with them for 5-10 min even if I didn’t knew them before.
Lifestyle (11/10) – Moved out from father was one number one goal. Living on your own has a huge impact on your lifestyle. I’ve been to Amsterdam. Even though I moved out, had more sex, earn much more than I did I still can do soooo much better in this aspect, still I have to compare it with last year what makes this year great. I also hungry for more in this area.
Body (8.5/10) – Two months ago I would say it was like 10/10 still I was overworked and I’ve lost some muscle, gained some fat, etc. I was forcing myself for toooo long without any breaks I’ve been working for 8 months with one week free when I had pneumonia and two 2-3 days breaks. This week was my first free week since I become poker pro. I was overeating because of tilt, get drunk because of it, etc. I have to learn when to make a break. Still I am stronger than ever before, I bench pressed 100kg, I have much more muscles than year ago, lost more fat and everything. I am glad with my gym progress. After today’s work out I saw that getting back to my best body will take 1-2 months so overall I am very happy with it.
Character traits (10/10) – I am much more disciplined. I improved when it comes to facing fears a lot. I fucked up my old comfort zone. Still I am very uncomfortable with a lot of the things but I made a huge progress when it comes to it.
I also did huge improvement when it comes to my English speaking abilities. I used to be shy and had problems to talk in English. Right now I like it very much. I can’t wait to talk with someone in English. Yeah I do mistakes. Yes I don’t speak fluent but still I can easily talk with people when I am abroad. There were nothing
Total (48/50) I wasn’t aware how awesome this year was. I mean don’t get me wrong right now I am not happy with my anymore with any of this. I want more in each aspect. I tried my best to look at those results from my perspective year ago.
Today’s graph:
Goals for 2014:
1) Build Poker BR of 80k Euro
2) Spend at least 6 months abroad
3) Train martial arts at least 6 months
4) Threesome
5) Learn new language (medium level)
To do next week: write about: Amsterdam trip and 10 most important things I’ve learned in 2013.
Man, all I can say is congratulations I'm also super focused on self improvement, so it's really motivating to see such awesome changes in 1 year.
Very well done, keep doing what you are doing. Following your blog for motivation to improve.
Best wishes . ♠_thumbsup:
Thanks dude! I am glad I can inspire someone.
It's my last post at Sunday for at least next month. I'll test spending free day away from PC. I think it will be extremely hard but we will see
I am mega tiered. Was working on my gameplan whole day. Was doing only this and this is much more exhausting than grind. When you grind you do a lot of stuff on autopilot and when you analyse everything you have to think about everything and it makes you tiered as hell. Because of it I took two naps and ate twice as much as usually 
Tomorrow I am gonna write about things I've learned in 2013. Btw funny pic I've found 
I’ve achieved a lot of things in 2013. It was really great year. Actually it was the best year of my life. It was full of new experience, full of facing fears and I’ve lost myself to create someone better than I ever was. I had dedication, I had hunger and I had right mindset. Change was only matter of the time. In today’s post I am gonna write about things that I’ve learned in 2014, most of them was learned hard way.
10 Things I’ve learned in 2014:
1) Dedication doesn’t mean not resting – Dedication is a must to achieve your goals. People who give up easy, who train like pussy and who aren’t ready to do everything they have to achieve their goal won’t achieve anything valuable. As they saying goes: you’ve got what it takes, but it will take everything you’ve got. Still you have to rest. I am bad at it but I have to improve. It’s almost as important as work.
2) You are happier than you think you are – If you think you are depressed move your lazy ass somewhere. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is something that you probably heard about. When I was in Amsterdam I understood that I am much happier than I thought. I also understand concept of hierarchy of needs much better and it was no because of mushrooms ♦ We didn’t manage everything because it was on the spot decision. Long story short I didn’t sleep for 36 hours or so, I was wet, cold, hungry and I felt dirty. I was happiest man alive when I had a shower, ate something and went to sleep in warm bad. That was the moment when I understood to feel extremely happy we just need to break our lowest needs for a day or two.
3) Surround yourself with right people – it’s very, very, very important. When you surround yourself with people who are better than you they you also grow. By sharing experience with high achievers you achieve things faster.
4) Thought life lessons – Hardest experience in life are usually those most valuable one. The tougher it gets the tougher you become. Things aren’t easier it’s just you become better. I am very happy with all shit that happens to me, I am who I am because of it.
5) Life is an art of choice – Everything has it own price. You have to sacrifice one thing to get other. You have to know what is most important to you and then decide how you can adapt. It was very hard for me to give up on school. I was studying computer science, I used to like it and I used to be good at it. I know that most people want to quit studying because they don’t like it. I didn’t want to quit studying because I used to like it but still even if poker was choice with higher risk it was much bigger life changer than school. Do I regret it? No. I did best choice in that moment, right now it seems like good choice. Even if I would fail I still would be glad that I made this choice. It’s better to go too far than not far enough.
6) Personality – Very important thing is how you think about yourself. When I don’t feel like doing something I said I’ll do (like sitting right now and writing this post ) I ask myself: “What rich people do?” Answer is always simple: “They abide they promises” so do I. When I don’t feel like working on my game I ask myself: “what would do poker pro?” Guess what is my answer . That’s why I am working so much.
7) Perfectionism – It’s very, very, very dangerous thing. You should start on the spot. You can’t wait for perfect moment. Perfect moment is now because it won’t be better. Tomorrow nothing change. Perfectionism is a great sabotage to yourself. “Hey do you want to change? Cool! You never did anything before but this year is very special let’s start with working out 4 times a week, keeping diet, working 10 hours more, learning language” You will easily get overworked and give up. More is not an answer, especially when it comes to goals. Revolution never last long.
8) Planning saves a lot of the time – I’ve been doing it for 6 months and it’s great habit. Each Monday I plan my whole week. It saves a lot of the time, it helps you keep progress and it’s important for achieving your goals.
9) Stop crying bitch – I repeat it myself over and over again. Most people don’t give a damn fuck about your complaining and 10% are happy that you have troubles. Bitching about something change nothing, waste your energy, waste energy of people nearby and make it harder to find a solution. I like that I complain less and less often.
10) YOLO! – I always want to write this! It’s important to remember that you can die. You aren’t immortal. The worst thing you can do is let your dreams go away. Fear is awful it makes you weak and in the end things that you are so afraid about aren’t that scary. The more you force yourself to do things that make you shit your pants the more you know it’s only illusion. Facing your fear is essential to live high life. As Harvey said:

It is stat "float bet" or just "float". And for BOP it's "Probe bet"/"Probe".
