Heh, who could ever thought that I'll reach this black member status :f_love:

Well hello everyone and happy new year!

2 months since last update. Several times wanted to write something, but been too lazy or too busy. A lot of stuff happened during that time and I'll try to recap it shortly.

So firstly I made a big decision by stopping my studies at university. I took a gap year with a chance to take one more and then I will have to decide whether I want to continue my studies or do I want to leave university and pay half of the studies price of 2 year, which I've already finished. The main reason why I did this move, because I wasn't happy overall and maybe a bit disappointed of what I'm studying there. For those who don't know I was studying software engineering. The majority of my classmates already applied for various jobs and practices and since I'm making a decent money at poker, I don't want to go to any job, firstly because the money paid would look ridiculous to me and second it would take my whole time and this would lead to forgetting poker, but I spent too much time for it and now I want to take everything from it, so I decided to try to go fully poker pro and see how it goes.

It's already like 2 full months since I've stopped going to university and during that time I had 3 poker journeys and was grinding a loooot.

A bit about my poker trips:

Firstly me and my friends went to Rozvadov in Czech Republic. There was a Pokerstars event running. And since we've heard that there are some great action, we tried to find it by ourselves. And yeah, the action was great, but unfortunately the only days to play there is like from Thursday to Sunday, because this casino is on the border of Czech Republic and Germany, so germans just come here to spew some moniez on weekends. Overall on this trip ended like with negative profits, because spent some money on tourney's buy-ins and cash game ended breakeven, didn't play my best game though.

And other two trips were in Cyprus in turkish part. We got some good deals for high quality hotels, where some events were held. It was nice when it's like +20-25C outside, while in Lithuania the temperature is below zero. Overall I spent two weeks there, with one week break. In last week I even took my laptop, to grind online because I had a lot of hours left to grind till new year, to collect necessary VPPs.

It was really hard to go through these days because of bad run and the ugliest thing is that I had to keep grinding to collect those VPPs to get full rakeback and this leads to even bigger disaster because of bad plays. So I ran bad at both live and online.

But meeh, that's enough of complaining, I survived that. Can't complain, because this year was amazing, had 9 trips to other countries, boosted my bankroll, earned more than could expect because of that luckbox in Sunday million and had a nice small heater in the last week of 2014, when the field was amazing.

Some pics from Cyprus:


(that's my friend in this picture)

And the most important thing is now that the new year came. And it will be the first new year when I'm starting as a fully poker pro. It will be a big challenge to me to treat it well and expectations are big.

Gonna work my ass off, already started putting some effort, just need a bit more time to get on a good rhythm.

So that's all for now guys, maybe will write something more later.

Have a great 2015 guys and good luck at the tables! :heart:
