Beyond expectations the first training day, feeling very good! Few km running (with walking breaks), abs and push-ups. Also played 3 x 0.10€ DoNs; +0,06€
Another training day, after one-day break; feeling super super good! (running + abs + push-ups) Also played two 0.10€ DoNs lol, up +0,16€ in 18minutes because of my A2s vs A6o splitted on A6xKK
Supporting family more; I found that: 1) I post too complex content; 2) people want easier and simpler lives. So I try to be more understandable with easy-to-understand content and do more community-building.
Taking child to kindergarten together:

I am up 53 buy-ins this year; as I moved to 0.10€ buy-in level this year. Last year I was in total up like 70 buy-ins; but that was on €2 buy-in level.
Super happy 1st training week; Mon, Wed, Fri = running + abs + pushups + 10c BI session.
Will continue the same 3-day training cycle next week; also won +1,70€ today because of free 1€ ticket, so year up 70 BI already.
I love the 0.10€ buy-in level and I am collecting 💰 money to move up; currently 50€/of 200€ in the savings acc (25% of the yearly goal completed).
New goal for summer season (March to October :f_biggrin:) somewhere in the future (not this year):
Bicycle + bicycle cart (diesel power generator + diesel + laptop + tent); this would be super nice for some independent sports exploration + online poker grinding. Would be nice challenge and practice, I am thinking especially about stakes selection: which stakes would I play on that lifestyle trip? The power generators cost 300€ to 500€.
I have put in effort at very high stakes,
I have backed out from laziness
And I have created work ethics and
Discipline from nothing.
Another training day has begun, I am preparing for the session. It will be:
{
*running (up to 5km)
*abs
*push-ups
*up to 0.10€ SnGs
}
Ok I need to clarify the year goal in online poker for 2026, it is a bit smaller than last year (last year's year goal was +60€ profit and I got +144€).
This year the year goal is: more than +0€ profit with 1000+ BI BRM
Current profit: +7,1€
Current buy-in level: up to 0.10€ buy-in
Nice running again today in forest + training; poker a bit unlucky, -0,06€ in super soft $0.11 tourney on Party.
There's this business school that also has a private school for children. I had gamedev workshop there today. When I started to come back, there was so big traffic jam in that part of town, that I literally ran past it for 1km with backpack and caught another bus on a big road, to pick up my child from kindergarten 10 minutes earlier! OMG this running training really has paid off 🫠
Up like +1000€ this year already with gamedev workshops as main income; super successful start for the year. Well done Taavi. Running this all while taking care of two kids, cooking and cleaning apartment. Avg hourly from workshops still shows about +43€/hour for 66 hours. Currently at workshop, will continue with sports training tomorrow + some up to 0.10€ buy-in action
Intense poker session after running in forest; kid was reading book in next room, so I decided, I'm gonna do it anyway, my weekly training. But it is always extra pressure when kids are around as he can interrupt the session. I lost the -0.10 DoN 6man SnG cause shoved 76 top two 3-way on 764 when 5 players were left; and someone check/called the nut straight. Maybe should've waited for better spot as I had like 4th or 3rd stack; but looking back, I think it was a close shove as the stacks were quite even. But I won a 0.20 DoN with freeroll ticket from Monday; so session in total up +0,26 eur. This is huge for 0.10eur buy-in level.
3km run with walking breaks, abs, push-ups; then played a 0.10€ 6max DoN with a reg in it. +0,08€
The reg also won and went lurking on to the next 0.10€ DoN... for me it was enough thriller though the first one, good enough session ☺️
Was really out of money in real life, then girlfriend said: "tomorrow they are going to destroy the toilet pipes in this house and replace them, you can't stay here tomorrow". I'm like, "yeah perfect timing I am exactly out of money, I have like 1eur, nice survival adventure, I need to stay in forest with my laptops and send gamedev bills earlier". But she just gave me 20eur to stay at caffes.
-0,02€ in DoNs from a recommended good library, as the interrupted training continues. It is a training plan, so it is not set in stone. No running today, will run again on Friday when there are new pipes in her rental apartment.
-0,15€ today but nice session overall. Could also run in forest at 7am and take a shower, before the real estate builders break the bath.
Remember this feeling when something gaming-related feels "absolutely critical" and "impossible to overcome" and "end of the world if it fails"? You are most likely just playing high new stakes for you. I was participating in about €400 Buy-in level in gamedev education market, and I was sooo worried that I would get my money back. But people in the area were like meh, raise the stakes fast.
