Hallo my name is Peter, i am 44 years old man and father, live in Czech Republic.
I decided to make this blog to increase my discipline and self-reflection, while meeting new friends and other points of view.
My interests include sports fitness, squash, soccer, family-daughter, strategy games, poker, markets, chess, traveling and reading.
I would start by playing and studying poker.
It became my hobby and passion 12 years ago.
I discovered the magic of this beautiful and challenging game that entertains us and trains not only our brains:D.
My beginnings belonged to life poker, when casinos were competing with each other in offers for players.
They basically got me, for a great fun, otherwise stereotypical life.
I have always enjoyed number games and strategy, here, in addition, psychology and the game of incomplete information, the magic was done, and the game enchanted me.
By this time, it was 2012, I was totally enthralled with the game and very soon started collecting the first achievements and rewards with it.
Certainly, I'm sorry that I didn't recognize the magic of the markets at the same time. because I would create a strong combination where to invest the profits.
At the same time, I would strengthen my financial literacy and economic knowledge.
Everything would make a lot more sense to me.
My first successes in tournaments and then live cash games ended in living expenses.
I enjoyed traveling a lot, which is why I worked as a business traveler.
I always liked to visit a poker club, in new cities and compete against local poker lovers.
Which motivated me a lot to move on, MTT live buy in from 20 to 50 euros, tournaments with a guarantee of 500 to 2000 euros.
At the same time, I used pokerstrategy.com and pokerarena.cz to study.
However, the main and fast progress was ensured by a regular game, followed by an analysis of decisions.
Subsequently, I also started playing online poker and getting to know the dark side of poker, the so-called variance.
Which either sent me into a series of wins or losses.
My brain was working at a higher speed than in live poker, but the profits and fun were much less.
I went through games such as 888 poker, pokerstars, partypoker, gg poker.
i learned to work with opponents' ranges, to be more patient, i learned to deal with the variance of the game itself.
I played successively mtt online, sng, cashgame.
Limits and buy in ranged from $1 to $20
Results and minor successes, came first at 888 poker.
The offer was really great, the ITM reward system too, and there were really a lot of so-called fish in the field.
I took this opportunity more like a course, and the thoughts of people with poker, that you could make a living from this, seemed to me misguided.:f_cool:
I have always preferred more income options. and distribution of finances, so-called diversification.
At these casinos, I also collected some smaller rewards, but also made a number of so-called deposits.
At 888 poker, the rewards were on the order of mtt. between 1,500 and 3,000 euros, which was many times higher than the deposits.
I am grateful for this experience and take it very positively.:f_drink:
At the same time, I tried to read a whole series of books, with the fact that I was most interested in the positive poker book by the author Jonathan Little.
Where, there was a lot of useful information, not only from the world of poker, but also health, lifestyle, psychology.
I am happy to pass on my experience and write it down here on the blog.
The first part is over, and I sincerely thank you for your attention.
To be continued soon on your monitors friends.:gl:
