Hey guys! My name is Viktor, 25yrs old living in Hungary and im playing on Stars, thats my first blog and im really happy that i made it! I used to play 2-5$ husngs back in 2008 to 2010 or so, but due to heavy studies at my university i couldnt put as many hours to game as i wanted, and hited quite a big downswing so i have decided to withdraw all my remaining cash and focus on studying more. Last year i have finished the studies ( im a chemist engineer ) but i dont have a full time job yet, maybe later on but my primary focus is gonna be on poker only.

Last week i have started to play again on Stars and changed my game type to nl2 6max zoom.
The first 2-3 weeks im gonna try to focus on playing better, improve myself and study a lot, i know its gonna be a hard work but with a lot of effort and the love of the game i know i can do it! Im using HM2 ofcourse, so thats helping me a big time.

Graph from the first few days:

So my current roll is: 80.94$

My plans for this month are:
- Mark hands which im not sure if ive played right or not and post here and in the evaluation thread, so i get a better view
- Play atleast 3-4k hands/day or so, post results here daily
- Post atleast 2hands from each session here, and share my thoughts about it
- Get a roll to shot nl5

Thats all for now! Hope you guys have a great day aswell ! :)

Here is a badass song i love:

I should have folded the hand here but i couldnt, stats from him is fishy but dont have that much info ( 11hand 45/36/0 ). There could be sets in his range, so i think we are behind here the most of the time.

Hand i dont know if i made good decision or not:

no information on this player, i think folding was fine at river since he was 3barreling with huge bets, maybe i should have give up on turn?

Winnings: +$4.88 ** EV:$4.56

Might play one more session, almost played 2k hands now but the night is not over yet!

Hey Gheroghe! So far its "easy", trying to improve myself continously. Found a huge leak in my game which is im playing a lot marginal hands in oop, that leads losing a lot of pots. So gonna try to fix it asap. Im gonna try to shot nl5 when im getting 25buyin for that, stepping back after 5 buyin lose.
