It's been a while :f_smile:

The last time I was writing here I was playing 10NL ZOOM. After 100k hands I was b/e so I decided to call it a try and stop. One day I was bored and decided to check how some people from polish community are doing. I met a few of them in person and many of them I know from the forum and even study group. On of them has joined coaching for profits program. I took a look on that deal and their site and after a little research I decided to give it a go. So I will play some poker again, study and hopefully crush :f_pleased:

I really hope this time it will look different. To make it happen I will trust them... well maybe trust is not the right word. I don't really trust them, but I will follow their strategy and try learn what I am expected to learn. The main reason for this blog is to check/control if I am working on game, if I play enough, if this is really just question of coaching, or maybe hours spent on learning or talent.

My goal is to play 50NL by the end of the year.

Right now I play 5NL and I am allowed to move up with 50BI. The deal is 50% of my total profit. I will try to pay it from my pocket if I will see that it slows me down.

Plan for tomorrow:
-Play for at least 4 hours.
-Finish watching one coaching videa I've started.
-Practise with equity trainer for at least 5min.
-Start a new supermemo course with hands anlysed by a coach and add 3 of them.

GL!

:f_drink: Cheers mate. I will take a look.

I haven't completed all my task for today. I menaged to add hands to supermemo, I practised with eq trainer, uploaded the db, but played 3.6h. Not so bad. I won't lash myself.

Plan for tomorrow:
Play for at least 3h
meditate 2x15m
train w/ eq trainer.
add 2 hands to supermemo

Thought: I know a few people which are very good with languages. A Friend of mine speaks Polish, German, English, French, Russian, Finnish and Spanish. My sister speaks Polish, English, Spanish, French, a little Arabic and Chinese. Others' skills are not so impressive but the are fluent in at least two languages + native. All off the admit that this is mostly talent, yes they put a lot of effort to achieve what they did, but they know it is not only hard work. For some people it is much easier and for others it is much harder. Why poker players don't say the same. I have never heard any successful players writing here on forum that they are just talented. It is always question of hard work...

Ok, I failed to play 3h yesterday. I don't know how much it was exactly, because I played 1h session after midnight and I counted it to the previous day. Also I meditated only for 15m. Everything elese was completed.

Plan for today:
Play for at least 2h,
Add 2 hands to sm
Practise for 5 min w/ eq trainer.

Everything else is an option :) I want an easier, calmer day today. I want to chill befor I'll go to work

My motivation for writing this blog is close to not existing. My time managemet is rubbish :f_p:
Instead of doing a little everyday, one day I try to do too much and other I do nothing at all. Apart from work I try to learn English and Spanish. I gave up on Norwegian. And of course I wand to learn poker and play. My time sharing for poker activities is chaotic. Sometimes I do nothing but play, othertime I analyse a 1h video for 2.5h and I don't even have time for play. Practising with eq trainer is only 5min a day, but often I skip it. I don't thing it is bad to give sometimes more time to playing or to studying, but I am just very badly organised in this field.

Plan for today:
5min with eq trainer
watch and create questions to the first 20 min of oone video

Tasks from the previous day are done
I think I found good method for studying playing balance. Every second day I will practise for 5 min with eq trainer, and do supermemo English/Spanish/poker quizzes. All together shouldn't take me more than 1h. Apart from that I will play as much as I can/want. Every other day I will focuse on learning, and apart form the mentioned activieties I will watch and create quizz questions from 0.5h of poker video.

Hi,
Short post. Some time ago I decided to terminate my deal and as I look at it today, from different perspective it was an utter waste of time and money. So I just want to warn you. If you ever come across their micro program - stay away. Just don't do this to yourself. I don't know what is happening in other programs exactly, but from what I've heard - nothing really special.

In a way trying to prevent you from joining works against me. The more regular players with them, the more regulars bloody easy to exploit on tables. The more regulars with them the less money in players bankroll.

Motivated by Alleen's blog and the 1outerHITS' approach to the subject of private coachings I decided to look for a good coaching deal for myself. Because of scum bestpokercoaching I lost some trust in such deals, but on the other hand I don't see other option. First step is to find where I am with my game, how devoted I am to poker. My last results before I joined had been ~0bb/100 at NL10z. After I joined it was still ~0bb/100 but on regular NL5 tables :f_confused: After that I played some NL10 on iPoker and NL5z. So far it looks like this:
