Days 62, 63, 64, 65, 66

Good morning. In last five days played 20 hours, 230 games. 30 games on 7$. Grind was ok, had only 2 sessions where i was on tilt. it appeared bcoz of couple of players that was obviously better than me and they had some advanced plays that I could not figure out, and I left them my stacks. On the other hand, had some very nice and interesting HUs vs. Supernova guys and managed to bluff catch them nicely as a result of my working on post flop. About that, i dont know exactly how much hours I spent working on game, but it was 2 hours daily approximately. I have to finish what I have agreed with coach, currently Im late, so hours does not really matter. This week will be tough, so looking forward to that and we will see how it goes. Hopefully,weather will be nicer, so I dont have to get up from bed like sh.t...

Have a nice day and good luck. See you soon.

Day 67

Good morning, yesterday played 6.5 hours, 85 games, focus was ok, played without rush and tried to look opponent's stats before every single hand and find connection between it. In some cases i experienced the phase that the statistics are like bikini... Satisfied how grind went and today I plan to the same thing in order to catch up on grind, late just 30ish games... Still, I have a little problem with my study target for this month. I expected to become easier day by day, but it is not. Have to find the way to make it simpler and definitely put more hours and more effort.

Good luck and see you soon.

Can you already make a living from it? At least you must have a nice little (side-) income?

Yes, I have little personal season(summer) job beside... Have a house/rooms for rent in near by spa. I am director, manager, gardener and cleaning boy
So, I am not make living out of poker, but I hope I will be able to in upcoming months, not live out of it, but earn more definitely, and go to winter break at end of the year with my best friend and coach. It is not possible for me yet to earn enough, but I expect to improve and become crusher instead of just be slightly winning player that I am now. I will be crazy-lazy if I miss this chance bcoz I have all the conditions needed for such a thing. Still, I dont like to talk about results, it is not important for me at this point while I am in learning process. I will start to put my graphs and chEV and everything when I get praised from my coach 3 times in a row I will get to that position getting my monthly goals done, and this one will be the real exam bcoz of private job and poker. Have to be organized really well...
I hope I didnt choke you, shortly tried to explain how it works so far
Wish you nice day and good luck at tables, Prim. Talk you soon.

Day 68

Good morning, played 5 hours, 65 games, 2 tabling, couple of times 3th table added to practice decision making. I did it when one of 2 tables was about to finish or when had a weak opponent in HU. I will play 3 tables at some point for sure... 1/4 of volume was 7$. Think that there are slightly better chance to get better opponent in HU than in 3$. Correct me if I am wrong... About studying, yesterday was a complete miss. Spent 0 minutes to do so. Several reasons, no excuses. Days are just to short. I have 3 weeks more which i consider reasonable period of time to achieve all I need to. Like I said, more effort and time, i will cut out some daily stuff to make this done.

See you soon,

Days 68, 69

Good evening, in last two days played 8 hours, 110 games. Felt more patient and focused while playing. Had some bad plays that I am not satisfied with, was not terrible tho, most against recreational players who managed to level me up. Mostly played 3$, 2 tabling. Worked on some hands, post flop, but not enough and how much I planed. Next week will be crucial about achieving study target. I will be more about study and give my best.

Good night, and see you in couple of days.

Day 70

Good morning, yesterday played 100 games, 7.5 - 8 hours. Today I will not be able to play full number of games, bcoz I go to country side to spend some time with family, so I played today's volume. Again, was focused and tried to play every single hand the best way I know. Had 5-6 plays/hands (that I can remember right now) i am not satisfied with which led me to lose stack. It remains to be reviewed and seen if it was bad play and which could be escaped from or was it a spots where you couldnt do much about. Yet again, Did not work on my game enough but made a plan how to achieve it and I will do it.

Good luck and see you soon.

Good afternoon,
After a pause of updating blog, here I am. This month I did not make to achieve monthly target and agreed study target with my coach. Reason is in couple of things. First was that I did not organize myself well and that led me to waste my time on other things, longer than I should, and which was not about poker, and which is crucial, not to screw again... Second was the fact that I realized how difficult it would be to finish all that until end of month, so I started to feel hostility. Day by day passed and i was untruthful with my self and continued to say I will start and finish this tomorrow , but tomorrow maybe never. Now, I have to be real for next month, cut off distractions, and be fully dedicated to what I need to do.

From tomorrow I will continue to update regularly what is happening with my progression and how it goes at all.
Have a nice day.

I can perfectly understand you.

Good afternoon, today is approximately 100th day at Spins with my coach and best friend. So far, it could be better, by that I mean studying. More hours and better time management as well as focus while studying and playing. This is coming most because of the fact I did not learn much in past few years, mainly was focused on my side job. It was very hard to start brain to receive new things daily. These days I am in much better shape but have to continue push myself constantly, every day. After some time I expect to see results by not having hard time to start doing my post flop. In this period, my coach answered me every question(hand) live session or via forum. He did a great job so far, and I hope both of us will have successful year and achieve our goals. Thanks to that and my little by little improved work ethic, beside grind, this month I have much better chEV than previous one. This is small sample, and not realistic, but it is also a good directive how things are developing. Currently, I am on 7$ limit, 2 tabling most of the time. 46.5 hours played and goal is 100. Beside that, more important is to achieve other goal about post flop and to improve OOP game, like coach said. This will have great influence on my chEV in upcoming months.
Im looking forward to next 100 days and see am I capable of beating 7$ limit. That would be amazing...

At the end, today I played 2.5 hours, renewed around 10 hands from coaching forum in details, which will be the target in upcoming weeks, months. To track thinking process improvement and constantly try to find new questions once previous once is clear. Also, plan is to put 3 new hands daily and raise that number weekly, or so...

Hope you all will have nice evening and patience at tables. Good luck.
