Ok so review for Lone Survivor

If you are into American patriotic military movies, this is the movie for you for sure! It has some great action and can really pump you up.

Since this was based on true story, seeing what those guys went trough now my cough or cold feel like a walk in the park so I won't mention it anymore
Some nice action scenes, pace of movie was perfect for my taste and overall well done.

I was hoping to get some movies or tv shows from you guys but I guess I will watch American Hustle next and see what to do after it :)

P.S. Do these paragraphs work for Demonic and Steve?

I couldn't tackle the wall of words. It would take me an hour. Do you do audio book versions?

That's it! You should do a vlog.

as for the moving thing is definitely a plan.the expanses are almost like here.here i don't have anyone to discuss poker like you have there gerovit and some other guys.i think that is very important because you are on the same path and you all now you have to grind ,motivate and help each other so the progress is faster.

but the first thing i want ti live here 1-2 months from poker and see how it is and then i might come for a month and see if it works.from what i read here it think it will work..especially with the waitresses :f_biggrin:

get better and gl grinding!

Perhaps when I decide to retire from poker, music, woman and all the action in life I will do that vlog ebook audio project

Yeah we are lucky to have each other here with support and all the hanging. It is definitely more difficult path when you feel you don't have too many people around you to talk poker.

When you get the chance come for a weekend or a week, see what you like and/or dislike about Serbia realistically and then make a choice. For me this is great place to live, make a living out of poker and have fun alongside. All that's missing as I said are sexy Asian girls :)

I would like nothing more then for you guys to move here. All of us are of similar skill and edge, we can all help each other out to crush mid stakes and go for high stakes.
If you all don't move to Nis soon then I will most likely switch to 6 max hypers and start preparing for SNE. If I go that path there will be brutal grind study rest schedules so you guys better hurry up :)

Thanks for the feel better, I still feel super bad btw hope it will pass in a day or two.
As far as grind goes I hope to play 3k games this month, at 400 currently so there will be some 150-200 games a day grinding that's for sure :)

If I was ever to do that kind of thing I would get some spy cam and film all the daily activities get the all natural feel of people when they don't know they are being filmed.
Lots of ideas, so little time to realize them all

Get well bro, I am wasting my time with tv shows and movies but very much look forward to getting better soon!

Uf I know how you feel, it was so frustrating, luckily I'm well enough to play now but thanks anyway. Get well soon as well and let's have another review session when you do.

Hey guys!

Past 2 days I didn't update the blog because there were some activities so I will try to write a short review what happened.

Wednesday afternoon I went with my brother and Gerovit to local restaurant (kafana) where our friend and student Curly took us out to treat us for the tournament he won in Krusevac (wrote about it in previous updates).
It was really great time, despite being sick and my brother getting sick, I drank 2 Serbian rakijas + beer and then went with Curly to local coffee place in Park (very famous part of Nis lots of places to hang there) and had some more beers. I went to bed later that night and feel asleep quite easy

Today hanged with Gerovit, talked some poker current and future goals, had coffee and enjoyed talking to him as usual. Around 3pm me my brother and Curly meet up to go to Krusevac for another live tournament!

This time we played 25 euro rebuy event that had 4 tables running but there were 4 places paid from which 1st got less than 400 euro, 4th was less than 80 euro...
Anyways I will not write too much about the tourney, maybe 2 sentences :)

I was card dead , was sitting with my brother on the same table, folded and acted like nit for 2-3 blind levels then started bluffing fishes with 85s , 54s and stuff like that. Built my stack, survived all the brakes, won some big hands and I was among 3 - 4 chip leaders out of 12 remaining players.

How did I exit the tourney? Blinds were 300-600, UTG opened to 3x, BTN called,I squeezed from BB to 7.2k , UTG and BTN flat call (omg mode). I had A :spade: 5 :club:. Flop came J94 all :club:, I check this UTG guy bets less than 50% (there was over 22k and he bet like 10k in there) , BTN folded , I had 40k behind and shoved (check/shoved).
UTG guy snap called with Q :club: J :spade: and I lost to absolute chip leader busted out of tourney :)

Did I really need to do that play ? Not really , especially because I forgot the crucial thing live players love to do - they don't fold enough to 3 bets, squeezes and totally lack positional awareness ! So I am not bothered that I didn't ITM, I feel super good about post flop play I pulled off putting people on ranges just in that hand my radar was off (figured guy would put me on really tight range 1010 + AK+ or 99+ AQ+ . 88+ AJ+ vs his UTG raise I should be 3 betting or squeezing very tight so on that flop he has a lot of hands that have him crushed but it just shows that his thinking process is like level 1 QJo I ain't folding that no mater what etc )

Aka Stefca our student from Krusevac also played (exited 13th or 14th well done!), he turned QQ into bluff when he shoved turn (was ss) on K662 flop and this guy called him down with K7s (nice preflop defend vs HJ of Aka Stefca lol) .

My brother and Curly were on final table! Brother exited with AQs (1st hand!) vs KK less than 20bb deep 3 bet shove.
Curly lasted until 6 players, had a 3 way all in AKo vs J9o vs AJs where board gave K to Curly but also 4 clubs where guy with J9o won 3 way all in. Curly later exited with A5s vs AJs...
So nobody cashed this time but we had good time getting there playing some nice poker laughing and stuff :) Also when coming back we had sick fog from Krusevac passing all those villages driving 20-30km/h - sick stuff, glad we got home safe!

When I exited the tourney, I installed Stars on my new laptop and decided to test it a bit read less like Milan Burdych recommended. Since Aka Stefca exited also we ran my account and I was shoving him how to improve his HU and hand reading. I played 2 tables non stop 7$ HU hypers. I think I did really well in 20-30 games or so, probably made back money I spent on this live buy in (really felt like I was owning them - no bs!)

If there are some HU hyper crushers reading my blog, if you are interested we can teach each other, exchange coaching or do sweats! I think 7s are easy, haven't tried 15s but I am sure I can expand my HU Hypers game like a boss with help of some 30s+ or even 15+ reg. So if that reg is reading my blog feel free to hit me up, I can offer some 6 max ICM in return for your help in whole HU Hypers dealio :)
Same thing goes if there are some 6 max CASH grinders playing NL50+! I will write more about you guys in some of the future updates but I am very interested in learning from you as well!

Finally I feel much better now. Its been 3 days of not playing any online poker 6 max turbos and tomorrow I look forward going to the office and grinding!
I will do my best to grind 3k games this month , already am behind with volume but I will play some days 150 or 200 to make it up. Even if I don't make 3k games, I feel great about how my life is organized right now. I prioritize family, friends, girls and work comes as a means to make money (not obsessing about it like when really neded to make the money for my own roll!)

2 final updates for tonight :
1) I am resuming my guitar teaching from 12th of January (super look forward to it!)
2) In next couple of days I will meet up with ex gf for some drinks (we both have reasons to treat for things we accomplished in past couple of months!)

Hope you enjoyed the update and I will read you all tomorrow - good night all! :)
