Welcome All to my first ever blog! :megusta:

Short introduction

Name: nemprofi
Site: PokerStars, rarely Bwin and 888
Playing: MTTs only
Limits: 0-5 usd
Starting Bankroll: I am ready to invest in 2017 1000 usd (currently I have 260 in PokerStars and I am willing to refill if I loose it all)
Target: 5000 usd profits in 2017
Biggest win: 1374 usd in 2,2 turbo MTT 2. place

Long introduction

Hello. I am nemprofi from Budapest (Hungary). I am playing poker for almost 5 years now. In the beginning I had the intention to become a pro but after 2 years I realized I am not "pro" material. Now I am a recreational player playing once or twice per week and what I currently trying to achieve is to play rarely but well. I have full time job hence I usually able to play only in the weekends.

For 2017 I decided to implement a few rules to my poker games:
1. Spend more times on poker forums
2. Implement a 200 buyins BRM rule. In pokerstars I set my buyin limits to 5 and only plan to change it when my BankRoll reaches 1200 or falls below 800.
3. Play only up to 4 tables at the same time (used to play 6)

I am aware that my targets may sound a bit unrealistic however I am confident that by setting the target high I will do my best to achieve high. We will see :)

What you can expect from this blog that I will update here the happenings of my poker life on weekly basis. I also want to opt in to the 2017 challenge and reach 1500 in profits.

Wish me GL!

puh, 4 MTT at the same time sounds like you can concentrate enough. Buuut - what if you bust in 3, wont it be pretty boring?

...says the cash game player :-)

GL also in the BR challenge!

The first comment is full of fun :coolface: ... hopefully

But I will elaborate on that part. If I bust I will register for any other available MTT within my limits and taste (I do not play KO tournaments and I prefer turbo to regular)

Thank you for the GL wishes :) I am glad at least someone replied.

Adding pics via an URL is just an extra option.

Never enough said, it is very important to maintain your mindset! Articles and vids in the psychology category help a lot, not just in the dark down times.
Choose 1 article or vid for every day, there are plenty of them, and a lot with high quality content! _wink:

Wish you good rivers and tons of similar GREEN weeks!
