Hi guys! &spades;_grin: I decided to start my blog. I'm a little bit tired of playing poker today (just can't keep focus enough), but it's good enough for making my own blog. I'm from Latvia, most of the time I live in Riga, because I study there in med-university (3rd year), I'm gonna be a physical therapist. I do like sports - jogging, a little bit of gym, swimming & riding a bike a lot. I started playing poker thereabout 10 months ago at the beginning of new study year at our sudent hotel. My friend (who also plays at Full Tilt) told me rules just when I was at my first poker table (in one of our student living rooms) with already my money in. So this was my first sng tournament &diams; , where first 3 places are paid. And I got 3rd at the end, and doubled my buy in (in $ it's thereabout $4). I remember my 3rd hand was pocket AA, but anyway I got really lucky that time, and I really understood that it was not just about cards, as I thought before. I liked (and still do) that gambling feeling inside- so it was a absoulutely predicted for me to start playing a bit more,,,I'd say a lot a lot more :) First half of study year I just couldn't get started playing Online cause I had to study pathological physiology a lot. And it definetly wasn't my greatest time in this world. So that times we were playing poker at our student hotel, I just could forget about everything else in this world, there was just poker table, cards and players. I felt like a fish in the water (well, sometimes I was also a fish at the table and got busted out at the very beginning &diams; , but I think it has changed now, so now I'm building my self image up to &spades;_cool: ) I play now at Fullt Tilt since this year's March, so there's almost 5 months. I have blew up my BR for several times :f_biggrin: and deposited it after. I really thought I was good, but....LOL...OF COURSE I wasn't &diams; Right now my BR is $42, I play $1 SNG and also some bigger tournaments (next will be The Big Little Tournament this Sunday, where last time I got busted out with my pocket JJ vs. A9o in 1008 place for $8) I just wanted to say I want win from poker $ 10,000,000.00 and that will be good enough for me and my family & friends. &spades;_thumbsup: Mainly I want this blog for some following reasons: 1) I think it's good to have some place where you can develop and see your progress and results (I think this is the right place to do it) 2) I like the community in this forum and site in general a lot &spades;_thumbsup: 3) and I'm also willing to get comments and some suggestions from other players. 4) I'm gonna put there my results, BR amount, and some poker hands also. &spades;_love: 5) and this is my first blog of all time, so I think it's best way to start. So if you are interested in,,,welcome!!! I belive that passion+discipline+self control=winning player And I do belive that: You are what You think. You become what You think. What You think becomes reality. UPDATE [20.02.2017.]: Currently playing MTTs as hobby after work. As well keep studying the game, keep my masters thesis coming up.
