Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

My name is Ali and I'm a 25 years old Hungarian boy from Romania currently volunteering at the Spanish YMCA, helping kids with their English homework and organizing Summer camps. Sounds amazing? It feels like it! I consider myself an honest, creative, ambitious and fun guy.

I came in contact with the world of online poker through my amazing friend and ex class mate kidzoltan, who is now helping me build a bankroll. Thank you for that, Zoltán sensei! I started playing poker in December '16 and it quickly became more than just a hobby (now I'm striving to play 6 days a week, 5 hours a day).

My life at the moment:

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY
:club: Playing board games: Carcassonne, Glory to Rome, Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Betrayal at House on the Hill etc. I'm also designing a board game.
:club: Art in general and writing poetry. Kid and Champ will be the title of my poetry book that I plan to publish in 2018.
:club: Working out. I hit the gym thrice a week and swim once-twice a week. Sorry, no pictures of this sexy animal. I train for myself, not to show off.
:club: Striving for and achieving goals. I read a lot of personal development books and continuously attend seminars.

POKER GOALS
:club: Short term (30.04.17): €150 BR (I will reward myself a new board game)
:club: Mid term (31.09.17): is to build a €1000 BR.
:club: Long term (31.08.25): Become financially independent. Invest the money I win as a professional poker player in businesses that generate passive income.
To stay motivated, I play in front of my #GoalWall:

MILESTONES
:club: 12.01.16 - Started playing Poker on PokerStars with €40 BR (€20 + €20 first deposit bonus)
:club: 02.02.17 - €50 BR

TOP
:club: BR: 24.04.17: €90.8
:club: Day: 24.04.17: +€18.9
:club: Month: February 2017: €64.48 (+ €15.36)
:club: Win in MTT: 24.04.17: +€27.18
:club: Final position in MTT: 15.02.17: 1/134 (¢10 Bounty KO)
:club: #of tables at the same time: 7

See you at the tables! Hit me up on Instagram.

It sounds like an interesting goal to reach a bankroll of 1k with MTT SNG's and MTT's. Maybe the https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=325001 promotion is something for you to make a nice bankroll challenge against other members.

Further I wish you all the best to reach a bankroll of at least 1k and improving your game: gl:

Cheers,

This great increase in my bankroll is thanks to an amazing day of €1 MTTs. Competitions are really motivating.

Saturday I had a 12 hour long session in which I played 40 MTTs (Star Coin, ¢10, ¢50, €1, €2) and I got a tonne of bad beats. Still, my mental game is strong and I will crush it in the end!

My amazing graphs for February.

Spoiler

Only MTTs

Spoiler

Every game I played

Although I didn't reach my BR goals, all in all I am very pleased with my results in February. I was eager to play even after a session of bad beats and bad calls (my mental game is good), finding pleasure in grinding multiple tables and especially striving to reach the final table in MTTs. I definitely have to give a shout out to kidzoltan, who mentors me and constantly helps me improve myself and my game. Thanks to him, February was a productive month. Sensei,

March, here we come!
