:) ok.. prolly will, tho it's deffo a lot of pressure on me. Yesterday i watched him, he played Nano and i dare to say was clearly the better. Idk how Daniel finds motivations to play this game but the progress he made analytically over last 1 year is astounding.

bet made: my 5k giveaway to Ivan as an additional negative motivator on: playing at least 5k hands from now on NL2k+ till the end of the month (i mean it's not many, but when u consider i only played 16k hands altogether last month (least in my entire carreer, even counting from a hobby plr.. ) - i played well, i earned very decent esp for the am of hands, but then idk.. i kept my very scheduled regime for sports and diet and i actually coached a lot - prolly most in my life for 1 month, and i just kept avoiding playing myself.. weird, i have some mental blocks rly. Ivan is eligible if he plays at least 10k hands on NL400+ :) .. he indeed is these days (after a lot of my sweats) less and less playing as a scared agrofish (if i dont know what to do but dont want others to bet- i bet and get lost on all later streets) but with more emphasis on gearing and deeper planning. good job! He should finally crush NL400 this month and hopefully can get him to 1k within 2months. If the progress is like last week he should do it.

short update on the other bets: the bet w not procrastinating some 2months ago was lost by both ..so obv The bet for him swimming across Danube in Bratislava till the end of the year for 2.5k:500 is still on (and find it extremely unlikely he ll even start training for it- lazy couch potato! :P)

hey all,

i don't have precise info on why Ivan got banned, but it has sth to do with unauthorized marketizing..

@Negreanu: no news on that, as was said before, Ivan is my manager in this, no hearing from him for now :)

@life: i am having a wonderful time.. esp socially :heart:. I found out that I couldn't be without few ppl here in Svk and therefore decided to stay for few months longer and not to join any pokerflat for now, nor move to Gib, which i was also contemplating a lot. I think i should have enough of the support here to be able to still be raising my game even tho mostly on my own. I think I have some extra motivations now, esp that I have also finally started to work with Travis Steffen, the performance coach, which should bring a lot more drive into my professional, and hopefully personal life as well. I still sport regularly-every day, and getting ready to run the halfmarathon in march.

@other news: There has been an interview w me published on arguably the most known slovak poker portal, in 2 parts (for Svk-cze part of the community who can understand, not rly wanting to translate, ntg that much interesting, i just talk abt the HU challenge a bit, life as a poker pro or my goals: part 1 , part 2

BRATISLAVA POKERFLAT SEARCHING FOR NEW ROOMMATES

so, as i ve said a while ago, Ivan esentially left - he said, he ll come back 1 more time, but honestly not even sure abt that, he is not responding to any of my msgs- fhl. As for me, I have my own reasons for staying in Slovakia for a bit longer than expected, let's make a serious promise that if anyone joins, i d stay at the very least for 6months. I am looking for 1-2 flatmates.

FLAT:

location: center of Bratislava (capital of Slovakia) abt 500m to the main train station, basically everything is within 10mins of walking distance, dozens of restaurants, clubs, we have a marketplace w fresh vegets+fruit open for most of the days just as u step out of the main doorway of the block (2 restaurants+1 grocery shop is the part of the same building) + both, tram/bus stops are at most 100m away, so u can get almost anywhere in Bratislava within 20mins easily . Also, this area is 1 of the quitest for the center as it is surprisingly not adjacent to any big road.

size and quality: 129m2 3room (former 4room-1 wall was destroyed and the living room is a rly big open space proper for all sorts of activities) w a fairly big balcony and modernly furnished. 2 toiletts and a bathroom w both tube and a shower corner.
Now the whole building is quite new - there are abs NO neighbours - the closest is 1 floor above from us to the side (there has never been anyone complaining abt anything, and u can bet we alw played during nights and many times w louder music on)

monthly rent w internet: 866€ - (extremely convenient, was just 1st day at discount we got it, a price for a similar flat in here in the area is ~1.2k

pics: unfortunately i didnt save more pics from the times we were searching for a flat for rent, but i should have a camera somewhere to take more if its necessary:

part of the living room:

(we ve put 1 more working desk in there + there are

part of ur room:

(well, this room is a lot bigger than it looks like from here, it has rooldoor along 1 whole side and 4 big windows - u can let a lot of light in rly (my room has just 2 :( fml) - my room is almost 2x smaller, but i dont rly care.

ABT U:

u should be intelligent and somewhat funny and responsible, thats kinda all i guess.. it would be nice if u played at least midstakes (dont care if NL or other game), but since i have rly no idea of how long i d stay, i rly dont care even if u re microstakes and just want to take the most adv of me coaching u, as long as u can pay for ur part of the rent on time. If there are 2 ppl, we should buy a bed and put it either somewhere to the bigger room (there is deffo a lot of space) or the other person can sleep for some time in the living room- although hmm.. i also wont spend more than ~60-70% of time in here, so as a backup plan, my bed can be taken. (use ur own sheets for sex tho ok? :))

u abs should not: be a smoker or a superheavy drinker / violent / vulgar person. It would be rly cool if u like sports and want to work on ur game regularly.

ABT ME AND WHAT CAN U GET FROM ME:

well.. i guess read through the blog if u want to get more of an idea abt me. I play NL600-2k SH & HU and i am a very active sportperson. I do sports everyday. (esp running, swimming, gym, i also skate on rollerblades a lot during summer). I am up for any action once in a while, but generally i drink very seldomly. I am more for some sicko bets encouraging creative stunts / crazy grinding. w/e. I also like most of other games on the net / board games - very competitive person all around.

yea, and ofc i d coach u, if u want even everyday either for free or for a very symbolic price (just to keep esp U motivated to take it a bit more seriously)

the offer is open till 1.3.2011 - if there is more than 1 applicant till then, i ll choose based on my best judgement of how i think we d fit. Add me on skype for any discussion, more questions.. : "cibicekj" (TheLastNail)

also:

since Ivan created this blog and i cannot be changing name of it according to the current theme, this blog will "officially" cease to exist starting 1.3.2011, when i ll most likely create another one.

hmm.. ok, will try to do sth abt it later, now need to go to wellness.. feel kinda bad :(

yea, and i am a goldfish now coz i cannot force myself to playing, am lacking any motivation now, luckily, today i have finally my 1st coaching w Travis which could bring abt some change.

the situation last few days: i am completely alone in the big flat and i rly just esentially keep wasting my time. Sad story. I shouldnt say all so aloud: but poker is BORING to me. If i cannot do sth abt it while w Travis i will most likely just quit for some time and perhaps get back to uni.
