That's price in the shops. Coz im not big fan of sitting in bars or clubs. I prefer small close companies and it's ok if it's just bench in my yard or kitchen in someone's flat.

In bars beer is about 2-3€ in my town which is 100 km away from moscow and about 3-8€ in moscow, depends on place's class and beer brand.
And u know, i don't remember how much vodka costs in bar. In shop about 2.5-7€. Of course u wont drink the vodka with lowest price, it's for alcoholics.

I am jsut askign cause few years back a friend of mine was in Russia and he said that shot of vodka costs like 30cents or smth
Russia is pretty expensive then ... I am not goign there to drink for sure

Moscow is very expensive. But most of other country not

Morning came to me very funny -100$ per 505 hands. So now i'm again going to grind NL10. At least 10k hands. ♠_mad:

That was fucking crazy night. I'm totally exhaused. That 9 hours were really like hell. Don't know who can stay calm when u cant win any single showdown on distance several hundreds of hands. But two bottles of beer made their effect. I was able to free my mind and play A-game even i lost many stacks

I am a little lazy about poker last time coz my gf came to me few days ago. Playing very little and with negative profit

But i cleared up gold bonus and now about 1k VPP left to clear 3 silver.

Today i played 5200 hands on NL25 and i'm really satisfied. Although i ended up with very tiny profit - around 11€ i feel that i play good and do very small amount of mistakes. And EV$Diff prove my words coz it could be +34€ more today.

Anyway i'm really happy that im not total failure

There is one very sweet hand, enjoy and receive some positive emotions ♠_cool:

Dont know why, but all the day one phrase ran through my head:
Addicted to raise.

Most interesting, i didn't exactly know what is translation for addict. Just words. What can it be?

I may help, u may be addicted to drugs, gambling etc.. It is said that Russsians are addicted to Vodka

Hi, what BR do you have for NL10 ?

60BI, now around 63

Well I also play NL10 on Party with a bankroll of 320$, and I was wondering when is it the best to move up the limits?
I had some successfull attempts at NL25, but I'm not feeling so comfortable, I'm playing tighter and I'm not getting the maximum value on all hands.

Man, i'm feeling uncomfortble with 25+ BI on NL25. And with only 13 i wouldn't even try NL25. Generally, in russian forum there is one usefull psycological arcticle by eleph. There was something like diamond promotion, to write article. And he writes about that provlem. He says that on his actual limit(NL1k for that moment) he can't play with 25 BI BR management, coz he don't show his full skill afraiding to lose even one BI lightely. And when he go to lower limits he plays in a lot more uninhibited manner
So, at the end of article, he advices to play on lower limit as long as u feel uncomfortable on ur actual limit. Get 30, 40, 50 or more BI of higher limit and only then go play it. So u can easily push and lose stack due to cooler or lack of luckand it wont affect ur mind, u will just make note and further play ur A-game

U know, i can understand if that words played in my mind due to their meaning. But before that moment i wrote i only finally opened my lingvo and look for translation of this bothersome phrase. It annoyed me all the day and night before. And only after that i finally got to know what it means

I slept only about 6 hours after sleeping last day for about 5+1 too. Feeling a bit jaded but im sure shower will fix it undoubtely. ANyway, i suddenly went up and cant just go sleep again. In addition, i checked stars and there are already 13 tables at NL25€. I cant hold myself back a minute more, i'm going to conquer them all ♠_cool:

I read through most parts of your blog and I have to say it's quite inspirational with the amount of hands you play every day and how you manage to keep that up etc.

But man, all this NAG NAG NAG about positive and negative profit, all this nag about EV difference etc... It's like poision man. I'm like thinking about weather or not to keep following the blog but like I said all this result-orientated crap (no offense) is driving me crazy.

You said you need a whole lot of money soon, what do you need it for, you gonna cash out? And then what?
