Hi guys, this is my first time on the EN community.I'm from Romania, and I am quite proud of who I am, where I was born and what I've done until now.I`m 20 years old, and kinda been living from my poker earnings for a year and so..My winning weren't that great because I could never build up a solid bankroll.I always needed the money.I was like:"Hey I've got 400$ on my poker account and 30$ in my wallet.Which one of them I want to be full at the moment?"
But not anymore, I`m done with my 2nd year of college and looking forward to this summer.I have some money saved to spend this summer so I won't have to touch my bankroll.I currently play on an "ex-affiliated" platform, that being 666+222 (i suppose i can't write it's name) .I chose that platform for more reasons,but the main one is that there is a good bank of fishes.I have played stakes as high as NL100, I think I have some experience, I've been playing a long time, but only as a "scratch-off" ticket.For the summer to come I plan to grind a lot (for me, this is good grinding, for the actual GRINDERS might not be that much).I will play 6 tables(that's the max that the platform allows) for at least 7-8 hours a day, and if i feel well enough i will play more.Until now I have played on PokerStars, started off with only 10$ , i was bored to tears one night and had to study for an exam.I said, hey let's take a break and play a tournament or something.So i deposited 10$ , and in about two weeks i turned them into 250$ playing only zoom micro.I was running pretty well but when i wanted to play at NL10 I remembered about this platform.So, after i transferred the money there, i started to play NL10.This summer i plan to make at least 2.000$ , maybe more and become a good reg at NL50.
I hope I will be able to keep this blog interesting and useful for everyone.
Here's an interesting hand, vs. a big big fish, he was playing 90/40.He would have never checked the turn if he had anything at all.Some would say that the hand is played awful, and I thought so after i made a review.But I really thought he had total air here, I don't usually do that. ♦

This hand was in my opinion either a really well played one, or a retarded play from me.
