Hey guys,

last days I lost a bit and had a bit problem to motivate myself but now I am back on track. Have to play now 11 hours a day to make that 300 hours this month. I had problem with certain vilians and lost lots of money to them. Yesterday we went through all hands I played against one villian with “DanJ” and “Bryan” and found some leaks. That should be now my main area of focus. Right adaptions to certain villians.

Also another thing that I am aware now is that I often lost motivation and drive when I stagnate and I get feeling that now I know everything I need to know. But there is so many things I need to work on in my game and everytime I realise that there is so much I have to learn I feel motivated again. I

think it is important to be in touch with people who are on similiar level as you are. So you can talk about the game, go through spots and help each other to become better players and not only depends on coaches.

Hey guys, august is over.

It was opposite of July(except the weather hot as shit). Basically I dedicated whole month to only poker. In July I have lots of social life but not that much poker. August was lots of poker and no social life and I definetely not regret it. I said no to lots of social things but it is part that of become succesful to say “no” to things that are not that importtant. After the disaster in July I had some doubts about my game and wasn´t really sure if I am on right track. I talk with “mindcntrl” about some “mental” stuff which I had on my mind and it definetely helped me. Also the probebet with “Uhlvar” about making 300 hours was great thing because it pushed me through days where I wasn´t in mood of playing.

The first 12 days I played really lot sometimes even 15 hours. Than I slowed down a bit I had some bad days when I had problem to motivate myself and was pretty tired so than I have to against keep grinding more last days of the month.

I am not gonna post graph. I have problem that some sites show me different results. DUnno what is the problem. overal profit with rakeback 4660 euro and played 52k hands. It could be a bit more I had to buy pt4 and 3 handcoventers this month but I am really happy and I am really satisfied with myself. It gave me lots of self-confidence and finally after 6 months when my results weren´t that great I prove myself that I can make it.

It is crazy when I see how lazy I was before. 7 moths ago it would be for me unthinkable that I could play 300 hours. I remember before when I played 5 hours I felt like ” Oh today I really work my ass of.” Then the minimum amount of hours was 35 and I was really afraid if I am going to make it to play that much and I thought I am really hardworker but while I was playing that minimum 35 hours there were other guys who played 50, 55… and these guys now making regularly 7k+. If I want to live my dreams, I have to be willing to work hard for them. It is not really hard work. I just have the best possible job. I just play cards and that´s all.

I was this month in my parents house so I have to listen sometimes some saying. Like I am introvert, I only play poker etc. Also yesterday I have some unpleasant phonecall with my father who don´t like some things I do, some of my plans and that I have a bit different priorities in life that I am according to him supposed to have. But when a man have his goals and works on them he doesn´t get that much influent about what others people think. I have my goals and my dreams that I want to live so I don´t waste energy on things that doesn´t matter.

Otherwise I have already br on nl200. Not sure if I have chance to move up right away, depends how much I will have to pay my share and also I will need some cash out but hopefully I will move asap.

Goals on September

Play 260 hours

Move and stay on nl200

Hey guys,

first 8 days of month are over. First day of the month started really bad. I lost almost 500e but eventually it turned around and few days ago I got green to move up on nl200 and right away first day + 650. So far the month is going really well. I believe that I am going to make it to advanced group next month. Also one event was cancelled so I am going to make this month again 300 hours.

Poker is going really great since I took it seriously. Also I am doing progress in spanish studying.I have been reviewing my old words in "anki" ( around 800 words).Now I think like last 14 days or may be more I started focusing on gramatic and it is much more fun if I do it by the Gabriel Wyner method. I have a plan that on the end of the october I will know gramatic so I can start watch spanish movies and read some spanish books. It is not really learning it is fun. Same as poker is not a job just having fun with cards.

I practically didn´t do almost no exercise past 3 months and I look terrible. Drop 5kg. so once I am moving out of my parents which is like in a week. I am gonna hit gym hard and this time take it seriously. Same as I took seriously poker over month ago. I bought "leandanhybridbody" by Elliot Hulse.

I am happy that I invest so much time lately in poker but now is also time work on other parts of my life to be fullfill as whole person. Exercising, social events etc. IF I plan my day well. I can still play 10 hours a day, go to gym and participate on social events.

The living in Prague so far didn´t work out. so I am going either back to dormitory or may be for a while to Slovenia before my exams will start. But I am really happy that I will start having some contact with people different than my parents. I am now in my parents house for like month and half straight and I really need some normal human contact.

Thank you guys for reading and good luck..

Hey guys,

I didn´t update blog for a while. The month is going really great I am getting shit ton of action because I play now nl50-200. On my birthday I had the best day so far in + 1k. It was nice birthday present. After i was 3 days sick so I didn´t play. so I am not going to make 300 hours this month but as I set myself on the beginning of the month 260 hours is minimum and that is what I am going to make. I am bit behind mainly because of the sickness I have only played 130 hours so i am in half. I have to play 11-12 hours for the rest of the month.

Otherwise as I wrote before I bought program lean and hybrid body so in monday I am going to start working out and do something with my weak body.

Also there is some issue I have been dealing of. Again it is about sleeeping. Last three days I was going to sleep like a normal human person around 11-12 and woke up 5-7. I had really awesome sleep when you sleep when your body is biologically set up to sleep but often It is just not enough to make all my task I wanna do during the day. So on the one hand I felt really good in morning but I was a bit dissapointed evening because I didn´t make all my shits done. No i will have lots of task for the rest of the month playing 11-12 hours a day, follow diet, go to gym so I guess 16 hours just won´t be enough sometimes. I will have to shorten a sleep a bit. There are like two approaches. I read about succesfull people who just work a lot so the sleeping schedule is kind of fucked up and I also read about succesful people who just go to bed every day at exact time and get up also in the exact same time everyday. Solution could be just get up at the same time. Sometimes shorten a sleep but problem is if for example I work instead of midning to 5 a.m. it is impossible to get up at 7 a.m. and work again whole day. SO yeah I don´t think that in a near future I will not have regular sleeping as much I would love to. There is just too much things I have to do during the day.

Also another thing I have noticed that I like to play more without music. I was lately listening music during almost whole session and I kind of get bored and not focused. Keep thinking about other things. I guess there is just too much stimulants poker, music and mind don ´t know what to focus on. Today I didn´t have music on and I again get into that nice focused mode. When you are focused, enjoy what you are doing and information just quickly pop un into your mind. I think it is good time to time, for example when there is no action, to listen music it can help you to get to the right mood but I don´t think it is good if it is big part of the session. Also more often you listen certain songs the less you enjoy them.

Goals for the rest of the month

Play 260 hours overal this month

Do equity analyse every day

follow lean and hybrid work- out and diet

Review spanish words in anki

put 5 new words into “anki” everyday

read 2 pages of book every day

devote 15 minutes everyday to investing or economy

Thank you guys for reading and good luck.

Hello,

last 6 days of playing this month and yesterday I got green from coach that I can add nl400 tables. Weekends are best for playing so I am starting today on nl400.

Otherwise I promised on blog that I am gonna make 260 hours this month. I was a bit lazier this month and also was sick 3 days so I played only 178 hours so far. Today I was counting that I will have to play 13.3 hours per day to make it so was thinking about not doing it but I knew I would be angry on myself at the end of the month. So I am writing here that I am going to play 260 hours this month to put pressure on myself and not give it up.

Otherwise I started following lean and hybrid body program. First day in a gym on a way back I had to rest 3 times because I thought I am gonna threw up after three months of not doing anything it was super hard for me. You eat almost everyday a bit different to not get used to on certain diet so your body is suprised every day. Yesterday was so called "warrior day" you go to gym but whole day do not eat anything and than you eat a lot before sleeping. It is supposed to be like it was in the cave man age when men go hunt and whole day were hunting and also didn´t eat and after they ate a lot at the evening. It was really new to me to not having food for like 20 hours but hell yeah how I was happy when I finally put food in my mouth. ♦

Last days of the month will be tough playing 13-14 hours a day + hitting a gym, following diet but that is what makes us stronger.

Good luck guys.

Hey guys,

september is over and here are my monthly results. It was a good month and so far the best. I promised in the last post that I am going to make that 260 hours this month but after 3 days in a row playing 13 hours. I had very bad focus, bad sleep, made lots of mistake so I decided to stop and kind of relax for the rest of the month. I hang out with friends, read a lot etc. I dunno if it is good excuse but basically two months I had no social life and only poker so I really need it.

Goals on September were

Play 260 hours – fail 213

Move and stay on nl200 – done

This month I played 213 hours, 47521 hands and won 5919 euro. Even that this is my best moth I am not as satisfied as last month. I should not be lazy in the beginning so I would make that 260 hours. Also I probably expect even more this month because on 20th of september I already had 5.7k in winnings but than it didn´t go that well also on nl400 I was pretty unlucky and the money can dissapear on this limit pretty fast. If you told me two monts ago that I am not gonna be satisfied with almost 6k month I would laugh but as we grow we expect more from ourself. It was actually pretty good month I managed to get from nl100 to nl400 this month but I will have to now drop from playing nl400 because of paying share and cash out but I believe I will get there during october.

Goals on october

Play 240 hours

everyday spent at least 10 minutes reading or watching about economy or/and investing

I made a bet with “Uhlvar”, that If I don´t play 240 hours I am gonna pay him 1500 euros because I am naturally comfortable person and as you can see I didn´t make my goal last month so I need this kind of insurance.

Also I have my life plan for poker where I have vission, purpose my yearly goals etc. I look at it every day so I remind my self the goals that way and it keeps me motivated. I have there goals for every quarter of the year as well. for July – september goal was to make 10k after. when I wrote goals for this quarter my overal profit was like 5k and after the losing month in July it really didn´t look that I am gonna make it but yeah I made it. So it is actually really awesome. Now i have to figure it out my goals for the next three months.

here is the part of my life plan for poker for jul-sep

Last few days were more relaxing, almost felt weird that I just didn´t have to do too much. Now I am glad I am back in the full work mode feel the “hunger” again and have lots of tasks infront of me everyday.

Thank you guys for reading and good luck in october.

Hey guys,

october is over. It was awesome month even it didn´t look like that over half of the month. On the 18th of october I was still break even but than I finally start winning and had I think every day winning. Also because I made bet with “Uhlvar” that I am gonna play 240 hours in october I had to make it. 10 days before the end of october I found out that I have to play over 10 hours per day. It was pretty exhausted but I made it. Yesterday I took deserved day off. I wasn´t practically on pc which I think is really important to on your free day just get out of your computer and don´t be on him. Don´t be in the same room that you spend so much hours. So overal results is 49989 hands, 240 hours and profit 6386 euro. So far my best month. I have now again br on nl400 so I can start playing that limit this month. I am also very happy that I finally got into top 5 students this month because in August I was 7th and in september I was 6th.

Link Text...

5k was my magic line for me I crossed it last two months. now 10k is my magic line. I believe I can crossed that line this month because I am gonna play nl400 now. Also because my results were good last three months I now became coach of guys from starter. I am really excited about that and I think I am really gonna enjoy that.

This month I wanna play a lot but I will have more free days that previous month. I have two trips. First is for two days to germany to visit friend who is there on erasmus and second trip which I am really super excited about is to Amsterdam. I was there last year and I loved that city. such a chill city and super great atmosphere.
I wanna talk a bit why I go to amsterdam. Every month I have this like usually 3 days when I just runout of willpower and I am not capable of doing anything. I usually just sleep one day and the rest two days I spend doing something shitty things like watching movies etc. Usually in these days I have also worse mood. Everymonth I say to myself. This month I will be productive whole month only take a freeday when plan to but every month I end up having these few days when I plan to play but I just cannot do anything. I was always angry on myself that I wasted days like that. In october after I had these days I realise there is no need to be angry on myself that it is natural. I cannot be productive 30 days a month or at least not in a long run. You have limited energy which you can put into work and the brain and body need some days off so he can restore his energy. Same as you cannot go to gym everyday you need days to rest. Also in our society depression and bad mood is view as something negative and if you have for example depression people look at it as something bad . That is bullshit bad moods and depression are part of life and everybody have it and actually they are needed. Every month when I have those days of not doing anything I usually come up with some good creative idea which I can work on during the productive part of the month. I realised that I spent those “non-productive” days really shitty. just watching movies and lying in bed. I am in that same room looking on that same screen. I think it is pretty shitty I think that “non-productive” days are as important as productive days and I should spend these days in high-quality. so I thought okay next month I will go to some trip. I was looking for some cheap tickets found ticket to Amsterdam buy it and than I wrote to friend of mine if he don´t want to go as well and he agreed. I think this is really good for me. It is something I can look forward to and it is much more motivated if you know you go visit Amsterdam on your free days instead that you gonna spend your freedays in the exact same room watching some bullshit movies.

Also I will buy some cheap camera this month and I wanna start doing some better youtube posts which will be valuabe for other people. Everything that will come up to my mind. It will be things about poker but also outside of poker.

Goals on october were

Play 240 hours – done
Get back on nl400 – done
finish gramatic book from spanish – unfortunately not I just didn´t find enough time and were focusing mainly on poker
follow lean and hybrid program – yeah I cannot say that I follow it 100%
everyday spent at least 10 minutes reading or watching about economy or/and investing – did it few times but not everyday

Goals on november
Stay on nl400
Play 200 hours
Buy camera
make at least 4 youtube post

Thank you guys for reading and good luck in november

Hey guys,

November is behind us. It was pretty lazy month. After three months I can say my most productive months in life I took it a bit more easy this month. On one hand it was good lots of good memories. Trip to germany, trip to Amsterdam and some awesome parties. also with one girl I spent more time than I usually do. On the other hand I am not that happy because I spent less time playing, results were also worse. Also now my exams will slowly begin so dunno how much time it will consume so may be I should be more productive in november when I didn´t have any other stuff.

So results of November. Played 129 hours, 25914 hands and 1404 euro winnings.

My goal is to finish program till the end of february which means starting to have 10k+ monthly winnings. I believe I can make it + my coach believe to it as well. Also I would like to pass my exams till february when the exams ends. 26.2. There is a huge drum and bass action so it would be awesome celebration of my succes.

Goals on november

Stay on nl400 - fail because of paying share and bigger cash-out I again spent on nl40 like two days

Play 200 hours - fail too much other stuff

Buy camera - not needed found - out that my parents have one that they don´t use

make at least 4 youtube post - fail

yeah didn´t achieve any of my goal. ♦ The social stuff consumed more time than expected

This month I believe that I finally stay on nl400 whole month and I finally reach the magic 10k line.

Thank you for reading and good luck in December

Hey guys,

Today I just want to thanks everybody who read my blog, to my coaches who teach me the important stuff and push me when results weren´t very good, also to my students because you learn most by teaching others.

Special thanks go for Gordon for accepting me and gave me the opportunity to start making some real money. Oskar who was my first coach and also because of him I had the breaking month in August when we make 300 hours challenge. SO I spent the hottest month in 150 years only infront of my computer. 😀 And Mindnctrl who pusth me through when I was doubting about myself because of my results.

Wish you guys lots of succes in 2016 not only in poker but also in every other area of your life!:)

Maestro

Hey guys,

I am writing few days later than I expected. I was partying and celebrating 3 days and another two days healing from it.

The results of december are. Played 193.5 hours, 49522 hands and profit 11207 euro

First graph shows like 1k more because of bad convertion on one site.

December was my another breaking month and I pretty much achieved my goals that I set to myself on the end of July. My Vision was that I am making regurarly 10k+ and I coach other people. When I was setting my goals I had -400 euro month and my overal winning after 6 months was less than 5k. In 5 months my results changed completely.

I was expecting how happy I am going to be when I achieve my goal but I don´t remember some huge happiness. The point of goal is not to make you happy but to become better version of yourself.

Goals till the end of february

Hey guys,

I am doing review of January kind of late but better late than never. There were some things that I had to deal with.

It was quite interesting month. There are some pretty big changes in my life.

First lets start with my poker results. I played 175,25 hours which is low but it is actually not that bad given that first five days of the month I didn´t play at all because I was partying and than healing. Also I had exams which I had to learn on. So I was quite productive given the circumstances. I played 46038 hands and made profit 6024 euro. It is actually my third best month but I was a bit dissapointed I was hoping to have again 5 figures month but it is alright month given the low hours that I put in.

So now let´s talk about the changes in my life. I didn´t pass two exams so I am gonna get kicked out of college. I was actually thinking about leaving before I started this year but than I thought let´s finish the last year but on the end I still didn´t finish. When I was studying on exams I had problem to know if I really want to pass the exams because there would be lots of studying because this year I would have some hard exams + writing bachelor paper and than studying on state exams. I knew that I would have to invest so much time in something that I really don´t care at all. So I actually felt relieve when I didn´t pass. May be reason that I didn´t pass is that I actually didn´t want to. Even that colleges are for free in my country I still pay for that my most valuable currency my time. Time which I can invest something that is really important for me. If I wanted to, I could have finished college next year. It is possible but I am not coming back. May be after few years I will decide to finish it but not now. I have clear vision about my future and I am doing almost everyday steps to achieve this vision. Of course my parents were not happy and were recommending to me to go back in september and finish the year but I know what I want in my life and I have to do what is best for me. I am actually glad that now i can focus only on the things that are important for me but also it is a bit scary because now I pretty much “burned the bridges” I don´t have any safe net. Even that I have not been taking money from my parents for a while I knew that if something happen I could always go back to my parents and they would give me money for living because I was student. But every man has to face this in one part of his life and It is part of growing up. Especially in case of being poker player it is more scarier because there is no insurance that you gonna make money next month. But in certain part of my life I decided that I wanna chase freedom in my life instead of security.

So my plan is to finish program till the end of March and in the of March or beginning of the April I am flying to Vegas. It has been my dream, probably as every poker player, since I started play poker.

So I will talk about some parts of my vision. I have been last couple of months interested in global economy. Read some books watch videos etc. It is really crazy what central banks around the world are doing. so I want to become good in investing and also I don´t want to have my money on account where they just lose value given the inflation. So my plan is to start having coaching in investing from Edited by SDK1987. I already learnt from poker that best way to become good in something is to have mentor on longterm cooperation. Person who is already where I want to be and can get me ther much faster than if I do that on my own. Also I want to travel the world. so I have some destinations which I want to visit. I want to live like 1-3 months on every place and than move up to another.

Goals on February

Play 250 hours

Hit gym 5 times a week

Post 15 hands per week on forum

Comment 30 hands per week

Do coaching video of 5 videos per week

Thank you for reading and wish you good luck in february

Hello guys,

so my plan kind of changed. I am now still living in school. I started having issues with internet because now new semester begin and people start coming to their rooms. Playing poker become almost unplayable and few days ago when I got disconnected during playing 6 tables. I said fuck off. I am not playing this anymore. Trying to figure it out what to do and one day later bought ticket to thailand. So fartwo guys who are going to join me. so 28.2 I am flying to Thailand and staying there for two months.

My plan is to finish program during those two months and than go for two months to Vegas. so March - April Thailand, May - June Vegas, than when I am in USA probably go to new york for a week. Than move for a while to Peru and than in August on a meeting on Malta. This is so far my plan. Plan can ofcourse can change but I am really excited about my new adventures.

New chapter of my life begin and old chapter end. Yesterday I had to finish it with girl that I was seeing over 3 months. It was quite hard and I am sad about it but not much I can do. This is part of the life. Also pretty much saying good bye to all my friends from college because I won´t see them probably a much now.

This a life that I always wanted to live. Travel the world, do what I love. Meet new culture, try new things. It is crazy when I hear people in my age saying that they have their best behind them or that school was best part of their life. I am not saying that school was bad or something but for me the best things will start in a week.

so I am not playing much now. Preparing for a trip and doing some theory outside of table. So most of my goals probably won´t be done this month.

If anybody want to join for two months grindhouse. Pm me message with information about yourself and what value you can provide and what do you expect.

Thank you for reading and wish you good luck

Hello Maestro1309

So you can see I have edited your post of 10 February, because it’s against https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=347065 to post link of competitor coaching sites or talk too much about it.

If you that doing that again it could end up that you blog will be removed.

Best regards,
SDK1987

Yo what´s up guys?

Haven´t updated for a long time. Actually didn´t even played for like 2/3 of the month. Firstly because it wasn´t possible to play because of bad internet which I had on college and than also because of moving out of czech republic to Thailand. It was really interesting days. I ended up one part of my life. Said hello to my friends, girl I was seeing for past 4 months and to my parents for at least a half of the year. My parents of course were not superexcited that they kicked me out of college but I explained to them my goals and my vision in life so they understand to it. They have probably also gotten used to that I don´t listen them too much. 😀 I invited them on a good bye dinner and next day flight to Thaliand.

Results in february were pretty shitty but it is given that I didn´t play much that month. I played 122 hours, 29813 hands and profit 2318 euro.

Now I am in Thaliand. I Enjoyed first 3 days in Bangkog, pretty crazy city. All the time somebody wants to sell you something.♦ It was pretty shock going from small town into this crazy city. After 3 days “Jair” arrived and we went for a beer. We ended up partying till 12 a.m next day and than fly straight to Thailand island “Koh Samui”. It was a very longday. Yesterday we finally find apartment with good internet. so since today parties stopped and grinding begin.

I think 2,3k profit in a month is very good. I would be happy for sure if I won that amount every month.
