:club:Hello everybody,after seeing so many interesting and impressive blogs,I decided to create one myself. INTRO :spade: So let's just start with few words about me-my name is Ivan,I was born in late spring of 1987 in Bulgaria.I've been abroad several times,mostly in US for what we call "student exchange program".I was introduced to Pokerstrategy from a long-time friend of mine a little less than an year ago.As a person who literally played cards no longer than few hours his whole life-it was a big adventure.I didn't know what to beginn with but I was obsessed with the game.First I started by watching poker tv shows,I guess everybody have watched the movie "Rounders"etc.Actually this created a wrong impression of what poker is,but it was very inspiring.I remember myself playing endless hours a day,a mix of sng,cash games and some tournaments. :heart: After two months,2011 was knocking on the door and I was close to a break-even player so I decided to take a step and choose a format.Pokerstrategy was a big help-videos,articles,hand evaluation forum-all that in one place.That's when I started playing Sit N Goes for a living.I had a huge heater in January turning 10 bucks into almost a thousand playing 1,2 and later 3$ SnG's.I was so inspired and for the next 4-5 months things were going above my expectations.I had hard time moving up the limits though.Psychological factor.By the time I was crushing 5$s-7$s I had enough BR to move up to mid stakes,but I was tilting very badly every time I lose 10 or more buy-in on higher limits like 10$+. :diamond: So where am I now?For the last 2-3 months variance is not on my side,I was also playing on several platforms which distracted me and I wasn't able to bring my A game every time I sit on the comp.I worked a lot on my skills lately and still there are so many new things to get better at. I hope this blog will help me develop as a poker player and as a person in general,I hope I'll meet new and interesting people as well so we can comment and share thoughts on this great sport. Short-term Goals-1 month :heart: Grind about 40-50 SnG's a day(1200-1500 a month)-as for now-15$'s on Stars :heart: Play between 30-35 hours a week :heart: Post hands in the evaluation forum every day :heart: Sign up for a driver license :heart: Visit the gym 3-4 times a week,as usual :heart: Watch videos and visit trainings few times a week Mid-term Goals-3-6 month :heart: Improve my postflop game to a new level :heart: Beat the 15$'s with a decent ROI-5%+ and take shots or move to mid stakes :heart: Start learning MTT's or other poker format I don't want to get ahead of myself so that will do it for now.Once I hopefully achieve my Short-term and Mid-term goals I'll place some new ones. P.S.I'll update My blog almost if not everyday with details about how my poker day went.Cheers.

Haha Well, long time no post. But it's ok, I didn't put much effort into updating the blog anyway. As for russian-fail tbh. Didn't start the courses, but at least poker plans run on schedule. As for why I want to learn russian-because I want to add one more foreign language to my knowledge. And...maybe visit Russia, before Russia visits me

I don't plan on moving abroad tbh...Belarus, Russia or Macedonia were never options

Well, I don't know which languages you speak. If you haven't learned Spanish yet, it's a pretty option in terms of the ratio of the number of speakers worldwide (incl. Latinas :f_love: ) to the difficulty. It's sad that I've never started grinding it.
