So, i have been thinking of starting a blog for some time now, but was too lazy. I have had a few blog here on strategy, but always abandoned them, not even sure why am i starting this one, it's not like i need motivation or self control, maybe the reason is i am not in the educational system any more, so i don't want my english to deteriorate, or maybe i just want something i can look at after a few years, see what i've gone through.
And, that's me- training with a friend in italy, good times
i'm second from the left
So my name is Arturas, i'm 21, at least i think so, never gave a shit about age, i currently live in lithuania, kaunas, where i go to the local gym and train as much as i can. After all, since September i have quit my studies to try and pursuit my passion- bouldering. Everyone who knows this sport, understands that it's close to impossible to make a living out of it, unless you are top 20 or so in the world, which i'm not yet. So that's why i have to play poker to make up for it.
this is pretty much lithuanian bouldering team, at least the male side of it, i'm on the right
Since September it's been working out well, making more than descent money, currently playing 30s and trying to move up to 60s, if everything goes well i should achieve supernova this year.
As you might have understood, this blog won't be all about poker, i'll try to keep it 50%-50%, if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them
And here are some photos from competitions:
St Petersburg, almost made into the finals.
this summer, Eindhoven, Holland, i don't know whether it was psychological pressure or what, u didn't feel that weak, but i performed very poorly.
Latest competition held in kaunas, which i helped organize, managed to get into finals easily, but again, underperformed and didnt make it to podium.
Closest competition is this Saturday in Krakow, Poland, which is kind of a pain the ass going 750km for 1 day comp, but you kind of have to participate in a ton of them to gather experience.
There should be close to 400 participants, so we'll see how it goes, will try to post some pics and results when i come back.
Some other comps happening soon are 2 day comp in Riga, Latvia on 29th-30th of march and the weekend after that is lithuanian bouldering cup, so many action packed weekends coming, love it, life's good. ♠_thumbsup:
