Stabilized in NL2 at iPoker network + rio school, solid career foundation imo for long-term. Beautiful beautiful game the NLHE. Played catch for 1hour with my 5-year-old + other kids at the sand playground w children's tower etc; real impressive speed was developed. Outwitted a 3-year old multiple times with fast deceptive moves. I remembered my sprinting days from primary school :f_biggrin: No-one got hurt and I showed some crazy jumps from their playground tower on the sand. Children are often impressed by my high speed, also in soccer. :f_biggrin:

Pulled back in career overall, loving it. Wud be impossible speeds to climb from NL2 to NL100 professionally fast while taking care of two small children :f_biggrin: Also pulled back in gamedev business a bit. High speed accomplished many things, we are well-known now in the region and a vegan programmer friend wants me on his show next week (Facebook live stream) talking about how to make video games with Game Maker Studio. :f_thumbsup:

even at NL2 my heart starts to pump so fast when I crush someone :f_mad:

Reached my goal real fast, had this goal of becoming a NL2 regular player in year 2025, but I got there already in this month, October 2024. Sports going super nice, thanks to children also, who ask me to run 2hours in a row on childrens soccer field like 4 days in a week. I am using 10 buy-ins bankroll (20€) for NL2 but coach at rio says to use 1000 buy-in bankroll for professional career. So ideally, at the current pace (hours of gameplay in a month) to cover my monthly expenses, I would need €200,000 and play NL200 with it. I love that idea and this is the next goal. Pretty happy with my poker career at the moment.

Gamedev-related Youtube video. A bigger project than the last project. At the beginning of the game, the leaderboard of the best players is shown.

Got it in 99 vs QTo in Heads-up NLHE, basically the opponent very hard to understand quickly what he was doing :f_biggrin: Learned a ton, big improvements mindset-wise. Getting more confident, happy.

I love the new challenge. She is like making €20+/hourly, i was once there in Fixed Limit cashgame, when studying under a different pokerschool. But now with kids is so much fun to make this "risky-survival game stakes full on" with NLHE €2.00 bankroll being 20€/month. I understand NLHE a bit now, how the variance goes, where the edge is, etc. I love the new challenge that I took. I hope this provides entertainment for people. Running an entertainment gamedev company helps so much to unite the children's and grown-ups' worlds. Like, literally, there is no-one in 21+ gaming (real-money poker, pro sports, etc), but there are a lot of people in teenage gaming (16+ video games). If you know both, you can generate a lot of fun for people. For example, adventurous online pro poker player is suddenly providing depth to children's soccer at the playground etc. Which is game and which is not game? Which is reality and which is not? For us, it is not reality (the children's soccer). But for them, it is full on reality. For them it is the most important thing in the world and real exciting experiences, that game (children's soccer).

Let's say you have a kid, a baby with someone. Now they have to give you a roof, cause you need to take care of the baby, and that baby is so loving and wanted etc. But let's say you are alone. Get a job, right. No-one is hosting you for free.

Sorry for my deep philosiphical text

Ok as the business is stabile and not much is going on, I can set a new poker goal. That is:

* NL5 regular player with a bankroll of 5000€ *

I am currently playing NL2 with €20/monthly, lot to learn in RLMM (real life money management).

so let's say Isildur would be crushing Ivey 60% to 40% skill-wise, he would still end up with the same result, losing that roll

New approach practicing poker, playing a little, but regularly, every day. 30min/day of poker gameplay practice should be good. This would give a little bit less hours/month than I used at the beginning of the year, but is more sustainable (20x 30 min/day = 10 hours/month).
