Now starting again with $100 and an old laptop that barely does the work (got it from somebody with 50 euros). The goal is to make it back to 3/6.

Thanks immot and CoreySteel! Will be fun! I have played for one week now and these are the results at the moment:

This is 12c/25c FL holdem.

I was wondering about some mindset things. Why do we deny or try to hide if we have lost money? Why cannot I honestly say to myself: This is what has happened. I have lost money. Why is there always this emotional need to prove that "Oh I'm such a good player, this time I lost but overall I am really good". Why cannot I simply face the results? I was having this tiny downswing today and thought: Wow, I am starting to remember. Everything is exactly fair. It is simply about honestly looking at what has happened. Not denying anything. And then I could focus on the game on the spot, forgetting about everything else. It is not about the money, it is about how good your game is at the present moment. So I dedicated myself to playing my very best.

I feel much better now, will post some hands that I doubt in and will continue with the grind.

I'm again at the microstakes playing FL 6max/HU. Big changes in my life. We have a son who is 2 years old and the 2nd son is about to be born in winter :)

Was so weird.. I was already getting regular practice at poker tables, 4hrs, 5hrs a day. Winning something. Then you know, I had this meditation retreat booked. Where you go 10 days in isolation and meditate 10hrs a day in a group with teacher. I went there then the 3rd day the teacher said I cannot continue and must go back.

Now I continue with the poker practice. I have like $23. I started with $30 and made it to $50 but then withdrew $25 to see if it works the cash withdrawal system. It still worked. So now I'm like a winner but with a very small bankroll. The thing is, I have absolutely no real money in real life at the moment. I live with my wife who I love very much. But again I start from zero.

It's a little bit scary but you know it's very good luck if she pays. I promised to her, within one year I can provide something. Our relationship is more important to me. We love our child very much. I'm providing healing also, I learned this crystal reiki therapy. Now I started again with this poker goal journey from microstakes.

Edit: Ok I promise I will post a 10k hand graph when I get there. Now I'm almost at 9k hands in 1.5 months, just starting out again.

I got so excited.. I took shots to FL25 for the first time... boy did it went big on turn.. 50cents flying in lol. Was successful. Even though I don't have the bankroll for it and my main game is FL10 now I'm eager to take shots at this huge-looking limit FL25. :)

I was watching some NL Holdem videos and the game seems so tough! I think FL is already very complicated for me... maybe when I get $100 I might try NL2. Or not. Hmmm
