:heart:Review of July Goals 
The July goals (month):
:heart:focus only on SNG stt DONE (100%)
:heart:100 hours of play DONE (97%)
:heart:100 hous of study (mental/technical) NOT (60%)
:heart:review past month and refine goals for the next NOT (gona do that on my relief - next 7 days)
:heart:regular upkeep of blog NOT (25%)
:heart:stick to my schedule NOT (50%)
Personal thoughts:
Wow, what a month, there are lots of positive improvement and there are stuff I definitely still need to work a lot on, if I plan to stick to this limit.
This was my first month on 22$ and I am very happy (and pretty sure) very lucky that I run good on them. Now, dont get me wrong, but considering some of my roll models (from pokerstrategy) go for 22$ BI for couple of times...I am happy.
Now, what i see, is a) I need to work a lot on ICM, and on adjusting my game to reg/fish and b) my mental game is good but also need a lot of work.
I am also pleased with my work ethic this month even if I did not complete all of my goals, especially with first 2. Now, considering study, what I recognize lately is that I really started enjoying evaluating and sngwiz quzies/icm trainer, which make me very happy, but still not enough time in it.
Also I get my self notecaddy program for making predifened notes on players/situations so if anybody intrested in sweat seassion about that please skypeme: vbzgskype. Think it could be very useful program once I get use to it. And very eager to see new HM2 with improvements, they put beta for downloading on server for old HM users.
What I am not happy is, offcourse, with my upkeep of blog, think I am gona ask for help from my fellow shark considering that goal.
Now, what I find this month is that my tasks (goals) are not so...how do I say...pressure oriented if i take a bit distance from schedule, but also I dont wont to take that too far from it coss than i could become lazy, so i need to find some kind of balance.
Anyway gona take some 7 days of vacation on my Croatian coast with my wife, and try to take my mind from poker for the first time in last 1.5 year, that is for now my only goal.
Thx for reading and see you in 7 days with my new goals.

Thank you my friend. Cant wait to hear how it was on your vacations.
So it has been a long while since I posted here. Won't go over the details to much since it has been a rough time with some personal things hooked up. I felt it was best not to post here for a while. In the mean time tried to solve everything that was going on.
As for poker, I didn't play a lot in the holidays. I think only 300 games in wich I made a decent profit (about $1k) but was to lazy to up the volume. This month I started to play again. I wanted to stake someone on Pokerstars. So deposited some money there and got the message I could not transfer it to the player because I had to many transfer and no play on the client.
I initially deposited $100 to play some MTT SNG 180's on the $2,50 for when I want to have some fun. But all of a sudden had $450 to play there.
I played my first few sessions only 12 tabling and managed to make a 300% ROI over 70 games or so. So I decided to let go for STT's for a while. I tried to put in as much volume as I can and am 24 tabling as we speak. I am still trying to add some more but I need to learn aswell. So far I have 550ish games and a ROI of 95% wich is awesome. The Goal for the rest of the week is get to 1000+ games before sunday and than review my game and gameplan for the next couple of months.
I am also looking into the possibility of going full pro for atleast a year in 2012. I need to make a decent plan for it because with full pro Supernova (elite) is around the corner! So expect a plan for it in here very soon if I decide to make this work!

I have been playing a decent amount of games the last few days. All games have been 180's and I have enjoyed them a lot. The last couple of months after June or something I had to put myself to work to often and I started playing only because of the volume and the money. The bad beats didn't hurt but maybe I was just a bit to neutral to it all.
I came to realise it is necessary to care about the bad beats. The trick is only to care about the bad beats without letting it effect your next decision. I've heared a lot of coaches on this website telling you you should not care about the bad beat and that it's all about the long run. While I agree it's all about the long run it's about being able to care about your winnings and losings in equal measurement.
So now I'm playing 180's on Pokerstars and I am trying to do that as much as possible. So far I have played roughly 800 games. I need to have 1000 games before the end of sunday. At the moment I have a ROI of roughly 60% and according to chipEV I am running insanely bad. About 1.2 million chips below. So I might have some good run left. As long as I am enjoying this game and make a decent profit with it I will be good to go and make this my main game.
And last but certainly not least a very good picture if I may say so myself.

Have fun and goodluck at the tables

Lol.This blog is insane.Took me some time to go over it,but it was worth it. Really well organized and you guys put some nice goals into it.It brings some extra motivation to me as well,cuz its easy to see you'r dedicated to poker big time.Looks like you and VBzG are crushing the limits you play on.Btw,Varience,I used to play tennis on court for some like 7 years in a row.Have you heard of Tsvetana Pironkova?She's from my home town and probably the best bulgarian tennis player nowadays.Good looking girl as well imo,won't be surprised if you upload one of her pics later on in your posts!JJ. ♠_biggrin:
I love this blog, Just found about it, you two have to update it more regularly so more people can benefit from it.
p.s. Kurk Novak Djokovic is from same town as me!
Enough said.
Can someone tell me whats the optimal number of buy ins for:
1)SNG turbo 45 men
2)SNG turbo 18 men
3)SNG turbo 9 men
4)SNG hyper turbo 6 men
5)SNG heads up
6)MTTs
Please don't give me an article with bankroll management cause it doesn't say anything except 2% bankroll, and i know its different for different games cause there are different chances of getting ITM.
P.S.
My bankroll is 44 dollars
This is what I would use, but I am a bit of a bankroll nit!!
1)SNG turbo 45 men________200
2)SNG turbo 18 men________150
3)SNG turbo 9 men_________100
4)SNG hyper turbo 6 men____150
5)SNG heads up___________50
6)MTTs___________________300
This is at low buy-ins, once I get above the $7 I will double the numbers.
But the 2% rule can be good aswell especially if you start of with playing since your BR is not that big yet ussually.
sorry I didn't see your roll is $44
If that is the case I would play the lowest buy-in games from SNG's up to 180 SNG MTT
wouldn't even think of hyper turbo structures!
My 1k games in the last week almost worked out. Came like 50ish games short because there was so little traffic and I didn't want to stay up for another 2+ hours. So I finished them today.
I've got 1047 games at the 180's so far and I must say I like them a lot. So far I am on a 45% ROI and I would like to keep it at 40%+. Not sure if that is realistic but we will see. They can be frustrating for sure, but they are nice to play aswell. Running horribly bad sucks tho.
After ~49k hands in those 1047 games I won: $638077 chips my adjusted EV is: $1953150
So having 1.3 million difference in it is not so nice. And being on a 800 games breakeven stretch is not the thing I want aswell but I guess it's standard and I'm looking forward to my run good 
My goal for the next month is to play
4500+ games. Since I will be going on holiday 27th of October I need to grind a bunch in that period to achieve it, but I WILL.
With this I will reach Gold status on Pokerstars. If I manage to climb in the limits a bit I might even get to Platinum. Since next year I want to become SN 3rd lvl I think it is best to start trying with being Supernova allready. But for that to happen I need another 95k points so that won't be a goal so far. Maybe if October goes really well I make a new goal for that.
Unfortunatly I was unable to find a nice looking picture from Tsvetana Pironkova. So I had to put Megan Fox out there instead.
If anyone has any request about a girl, or boy (I will not post a guy in here obviously but I need to act as if I would to keep the ladies here, or try to attract them somehow) please respond and I will do my best to arrange it.
