To me GF is vital, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and in your case probably a depressed boy.

I have asked you before, but will again. Why not 45 mans, you can multi-table the 9 men comfortable so can only imagine 45 man would be even easier, less crucial decisions, less reg/fish ration etc. etc.

Sure you would make a fortune, but what do I know :)

Gl any way sir, keep up the grind

Steve you are 1 of the 3 guys that read it like Kurkie said

GF is quite important I agree but take into consideration that I can always find a girl to hook up have a fling and move on with my goals. Even tough that's not long term solution but only a bandage or quick fix, it may be the best solution by the end of this year.

I never played those formats, I believe when you say it that they are super soft. Since I am still under coaching/staking and sharing profit from everything I don't plan risking new formats when I want every single $ to mater for my roll from January.

Expect some nice end of the month grinding , 180 games every day minimum for SN !

See you around Steve :)

Just invalidate captain kurrkie's statement I also read the whole thing

My personal opinion is that I wouldn't do what you did, breaking up with your girlfriend just to be able to grind more. I respect it though, because I think I would never be able to make that sacrifice. For the other points, I think the other posters already made very good points so I don't think I need to comment on that any further.

Good luck with the grinding bro!

It was very difficult thing to do, feel bad about it obviously but that's life - choices and sacrifices we make influence our paths greatly.

Played 91 games all in 1 session in 3,9 hours. Have to go to celebration after 6pm but I will have to fit in those 90 games by the end of the day somehow - challenges all around me ... :)

WOW..epic post...I mean the long long one ;)
Life is all about priorities, I learned that in last couple years. We are the very blessed ppl in the world, because we have what? OPTIONS - therefore we can choose based on our priorities = therefore we are FREE. Who can say that? Not many ppl I believe. Ofcourse it brings new level of stress, new level of self-depending or how to describe it.
So, find your balance...:)

P.S.: U would never break up with the girl of your life...

GL
P.S.S.: Wow, one Corona and how deep my post is, right?

You are the best Milan!!!
Was telling Gerovit (Milan) how both of you with some other guys are very "lucky" and blessed to have supporting wifes to support this career. I hope one day I will find woman that will support it 100%. This gf supported it, understood what I had to do by the end of the year and knew my plans from next year but still it didn't feel like the right type of support if you know what I mean. When I needed her the most, to stand by me now when I have tons of stress, she taught stress was because of her and it was her fault of some sort etc Woman ...
Btw, I hope before end of year either in November or for new years, I will come to Prague for 2-3 days. We should hang out drink some beer if there is time play some poker (I promise I will 3 bet only 3% of hands... Will let you know about this in following weeks obviously but if you are free it would be awesome to meet up.

P.S. I like the Corona side of you, you turned into Guru Pitka (you know the movie I am sure

Will do no worries - still have to grind and work on the game in the meanwhile to make it happen (its a reward of a sort for me - love Prague!)

144 games left to reach SN!
It will be nice accomplishment but I am more excited about the fact that I will have 20 sessions by the end of the year with Gerovit. I am preparing very specific questions and topics for each session, look forward to assignments coming from it all. 1st out of 20 will be tomorrow...
I must say that I am aware of mistakes that I make, biggest ones obviously with big tilt factor that causes me to spew and be overly aggressive (in all phases in general) but I also am aware that stress has gotten a hold of me and can't wait January to play on my own. With more money will be much less stressful as I can focus much more on working on the game then what I do now. I am very grateful to Gerovit for teaching me from zero to get to this point, again look forward learning more things by the end of the year but next year I will besides 15s work on 2 other formats and perhaps even mix stars with microgaming.

Had a great session with Gerovit ! Truly inspiring stuff. It moved me so much that I finished assignment from it right after it. Already look forward to the next one in 3-4 days.
This session helped a lot as it cleared some dillema I had for which I couldn't find answers anywhere online :) That's why coaching is beneficial part of this coaching and staking, I can't stress how much I have learned and how much I keep learning, truly inspiring stuff going on.

Heading to tables now to reach SN by the end of the day, it will take me 4 hours approximately, see you around :)
