From Philippines back to Belgium: Rediscovering…

Joenaes · 2011-01-02T21:47:54Z

Kumusta!! As you all might know we (JQ, GRY, Waraiotoko, Ivan and me) are going to Philippines this year. We leave on the 16th of January (except for Ivan&Marek) to enjoy live in Cebu. Why are we going there? - Nice weather - Nice beaches - Low cost of living - Good base to start other Asian trips (Macau, HK, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, China, Thailand are all 'pretty' close) What are we going to do? - Play lots of poker - Analyse together - Travel/gamble to neighbouring countries - Keeping ourselves healthy with sports and good food (cook) - Party Our goal? Simple. We want to have an accumulated profit of 1 mirrion after 1 year. It will take a lot of heart and commitment, a lot of work and analysis but we will get there! This blog will be about our life in PI. You can follow our poker/travel/sport/life/visitors progress in this one. In the next posts everyone will briefly give an introduction of his poker career so far and his overall goals for the future. Unity makes strength Crew members!!! WaraiOtoko Hey everyone! Guess it's time to introduce myself after joining PI crew. :) I'm Marek, 24yo Slovak player, currently living/studying in Brno, Czech Rep. I'm half way through reaching Master's degree in computer science, specialized in security. Even though I "only" need to finish last 2-3 exams, I still have to write a thesis, so about 1 year of hard work left. This is where I stand right now and I feel that after 5 years of studying I'm kinda losing drive/motivation for it. Defo dont want to give up on it, just feel that spending hopefully awesome year with PI crew is the right way to clear my head and regain motivation. I started playing poker in mid 2009 with starting capital from PS, obv busting it in my first week :f_biggrin:. However own $50 depo did the trick and after few months of donking on a few dollar sng's I decided to give cash games a try in Jan 2010. It went quite well and since march I've been playing semi-pro on nl100 SH, later nl200. After having a bit of a downer in november, loosing 30bi in 3 days, I decided to mix it up a bit and try FR rush. I've never played FR before, so spent last month or so trying to adjust my philosophy from "no-one ever has anything" to "everyone has quads" &diams;. So far doing good, and I'm really looking forward to analyse with other great players in the house. 2011 Goals: -beat NL midstakes and shoot for highstakes by the end of the year -learn PLO, preferably HU and beat small-to-mid stakes -play more live cash (Macau?) and learn not to bust several bi's to fish &diams; Non-poker goals: -travel a lot; since I really like asian culture and plane tickets are so cheap from PI, so Macau, HK, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and mby some others be prepared :P -continue to learn Japanese after 2y break, and maybe take on another language (Spanish?) -workout and either swim or run regularly -party and enjoy life -experiment with different sleeping patterns to have time for all these things above &diams;, probably gonna try biphasic sleep of 5-6h with 0.5-1h afternoon nap ZhiCheng Hi, my name is Tomas, i play poker seriously since August09, consider myself pro from July10. The main reason why I am moving to PI is that I really want to work a lot on my game .. and probably there is no better way to do it than cooperating with other players. I am looking forward for long hours of analyzing, sidebetting on volume and other poker related activities. Philippines Plan pokerwise -beat nl200rush by March -mby change site later on and shoot higher? -learn plo n pwn plo hu up to 200... in 2011 -1mil hands -100k profit Dream world: -1,5mil+ hands -150k profit Philippines Plan RLwise: -Work out twice/week -Learn some Mixed Martial Arts(urban ninja style would be my preferance) -Do all kind of sport n own Jonases ass as well as the asses of other members (just had to write that sentence) -Party hard -Enjoy life to fullest -Think abt life and plan my next steps Ivan Will be updated after PS reaction Joenaes Hello I'm Joenaes :). I graduated in Business Economics: Finance in 2010. So after 20 years of school I wanted to change horizons and now I'm here in Cebu. Poker Career: At the end of 2009 I started playing NL200 regularly and in 2010 I managed to get a good income as my first year as a poker professional. I crush NL200 now and beat NL400 at a good rate over a big sample. I'm not fully satisfied though because I didn't make that many improvements this year. From NL200 to NL400 is a big step but I'm sure if I had worked harder, I would have been a lot higher as well. So 2011 will be the year of the big step! My goals for 2011: Poker: - Become a feared PLO specialist - Reach high stakes (PLO1k(+)) - Get SNE - Make $200k How will I do this? - Play 5 hours a day on average - Analyse with my roommates for 1 hour a day - Watch 1 vid a day or use this time to analyse some ...

At 3am or so we kinda agreed we shld post an update regarding what happened yday.. It might not be the best idea, but ye, theres no comming back :f_p:

After getting really bored of a club we usually go(easy moniez), we decided to go to the most baller one in town -Penthouse.

After missreading the menu prices and shipping 2bottles of Belvedere and some rum like real pros, we were bit surprised to get the bill.. When u think something costs 1,8k and in fact it actually costs 4,8k, u r not too happy.. But w/e.. Jay shipped 6k day yday so.. :f_love:

Anyways, the most interesting part comes when we arrived home.. me,jq and jonas were first ones to get here.. I had this awesome idea to swim a bit.. and it somehow happened we all swam totally naked.. ye.. ballers..
3 friends swimming naked in the pool and not feeling gay at all.. Thats what real friendship is abt we realized :f_love:
