So, my journey continues on NL10 now. Some lessons to learn.
1st) Beer and NL10 poker does not come along very well. You know, latvians make fantastic beer. If you happen to be in Riga, I`ll gladly take You to some places and show all those special kinds of latvian beers.
Had to relax after hard working week, and usually, if I am drinking beer, I choose some very low limit tourneys, I can play for long.. This time I chose Bauskas light to drink. 4 of them.

Now, for reasons unknown for me, I chose to play NL10 6max cash. I was crushed in few hours for 3 buyins.
Prozit! :f_drink:

One of the hands, I played bad

Long time, no see! :)
On Easter holidays I was going down the river for four days, spent these days with great company, lot of beers, and tent (because it was snowing and raining a lot).
I participate in this adventurous action already for 5th year.
And on Saturday it was so warm day - sunny and such, so I spent my day with family and we did some nice bycicle ride to the sea.
Anyways - for last two weeks poker is not very frequent. Somehow some real life things took more time, I expected. Also I had and will have a lot of planned out of office work ours I will have to work.
Anyway I know that nothing disappears and You can not run away from Yourself, e.t.c. so Poker will return in my daily plan.
Right now I have bankroll of $206

Hi!

I was kindly invited to share my thoughts about current situation from mr. SvenBe and I am glad I was.
I am not active here, at Pokerstrategy for some two months already. Still I play poker occasionally. Somehow things turned such way, that I do not spend much time looking at pokerstars application. But that does not mean, I have trown away my target of getting $1000 at the end of the year. And I am continuing my participation in "get rich or die trying" challenge. :) .. As poker is my hobby number one, as it was before :)
So I will post my weekly stats again starting from next week.

Current situation - $241.95 bankroll at pokerstars and I am listening Indie Electro :)

So funny how people are taking seriously Pokerstars Challenges. Now there is one to win hand with 72 to get a ticket to freeroll.

I just won AI preflop with AA vs 72o.
On BU I raised 3x. Was reraised 20 big blinds. So I raised AI and was called

After few hands there was a guy who was a bit wiser. He tried to make his game postflop, but unfortunately for him - there was nothing connected on board with his 72s. He lost just 45 big blinds
