Get Rich or Die Tryin' - Be Here Now

Good Luck with your goal and improving your game , also take care of your health as it is more important than money.

TY kingdragos! Good luck for you too!

Haven't played much so far, but I'm getting back in shape so this week I will play way more.

BR=3989$
Profit=+39$

New update: Haven't played that much as planned. Procrastination still a problem and 888poker keeps disconnecting which is really annoying.
My rule is half the money made I can cash out, the other half stays in bankroll and can be used only for investments. I've been doing this since 2013 December. After reading Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" I learned some things about financial intelligence and about bad habits people have.

888poker:

Pokerstars:

+ some bonus,rb money

BR=4402 USD
Profit this week= +413 USD

I'm not posting graphs this time, played very little, because I didn't feel well. I ended up November in around 600$ profit, which is very good compared to the volume

BR=4620 USD
Profit this week=+218 USD

GOALS FOR DECEMBER:
Prepare for the last chemo
Exercise + Good diet + Enough rest
Play as much as possible
Play NL200
Review + Post hands + Watch videos daily

3017 raked hands on TerminalPoker + 5k hands on PS,888(not sure, because my laptop broke down)
+324$
BR= 4944$

No graphs this week, also now I'm playing on a site which doesn't allow HUD.

New task for December: read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill!

I've made it 6th in a rake race and won 175 Euros + managed to play 15039 raked hands on Terminal poker (no graphs possible) altough I was sick all week.

Total profit for this week is 479$.

BR= 5423$

So far I didn't accomplish my goals, mainly because of the flu I caught, but it's still time to do it. Also another new task is to search and buy a good laptop, becuase my old one broke down.

Haven't played anything on 6th week, I wasn't feeling so well so I decided to take a break. I'm writing from the hospital, it's my last chemo treatment. I will try to play from here.

BR= 5423$
Profit= 0$

Dude, good luck with your goals and especially your health!

I'm gonna follow your challenge, so keep us informed

wow! really inspiring blog. I'm also just about to finish the rich dad poor dad book.

What type of assets did you chose to invest in?

GL with your challenge and your health!

Nice progress you're making, especially while being ill. Much respect to you.

@Anomic - Thanks for your support! ♠_biggrin:

@EnjoyThis - Thanks and good luck with your Zoom bet!

@vonki - I didn't invest in anything else, just poker, because right now that's the most profitable and that's what I want to do. But as I see in my country, real estate is a great opportunity. Also in Romania the price of a used car is bigger then for example in Germany. So buying cars from other countries and bringing them here is profitable. I have some friends who usually have 12-15 cars for sale and they are doing really good. Other ideas I have are opening a car service or a stomatology cabinet, if I find good staff they would work very well. This ideas require much more money than I have so my plan is to focus on poker now. By the way if you liked Rich Dad Poor Dad book I recommend you Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, I almost finished it and it's really inspiring.

A quick update about my goals for December:
Spend time with family and friends
Stay healthy, rest enough
Finish reading Think and Grow Rich/ applying what I read(writing down the plan)
Play/Study poker

Quick update:
Bankroll = 5615$
Profit last week = +192$

Against good regular. I think he will have a bluff here very often, because sets would have raised flop, and if he had a straight he wouldn't bet so big, so my plan was to call him down. ♠_drink:

My goals for January are very clear:
Play NL200
Review before every new day
Play 100 hours on 888poker
Finish writing my Definite Plan(from "Think and Grow Rich" book)
Continue using what I've earned from the book
Exercise / Concentrate on health
Start dancing again

888poker graph:

Pokerstars graph:

I think a couple of hands weren't imported, because the graphs show that I won more then I actually did.

That feeling when in the end of the day you decide to play one more session for fun, playing LAG style and this is the result(NL25 Stars): :f_cool: :f_cool:

I haven't updated for a while, I wasn't feeling good, so I could play so much, but fortunately from tomorrow everything will get back to normal. So far 34/100 hours played this month on 888, I can still make it. Profit is not much in January, but I still have enough time to turn it around.

I don't know what I am doing sometimes. Interesting hand:
