Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! It was long time ago decided idea, but never got to the writing part until now. &diams; Hope for you understanding and advices to make it better in future if this really will interest someone. Little about myself Im 23 years old ex student of School of Business and Finance BA (bachelor not done yet for 2 years cuz im just to lazy to write it, but i will do it next year!!). Started poker in freshmen year when my friend won his 1st $1k+ score and playing since then (this is 5th year). 1st couple of years i mixed it with my half time job and school, but last 2,5 years play it for living. Mostly play MTTs for like 3 years +/-. Tried practicly all type of games, but most of all i like MTTs cuz of excitement in those. In my opinion i have huge huge experiance in poker, cuz i have played aproximetly 25k MTTs all around the sites and 25k SNG’s, but never managed to get real real upswing yet (hope it will come). My biggest scores is 14k and 10k. Total MTT cashes tracked is 360k. Biggest tournaments i have played is 1K EUR buy in, 1k $ Buy in, few 500$ and 500 EUR. I never fancied cash games, but i know when i will get back on my feet i will try to get in to that, cuz i know thats very very important. Also have played a little live and thing that i can say is that it is much much different there. My biggest bankroll for poker yet has been 35k but now its down to 2k  . Downswings in MTTs is such a killers, those who play regulary knows...thats the biggest downside of MTTs inckuding that u sit in the chair all day and its not good to your health. Keep that in mind! In conclusion i have played practically everything in practically every buy in level (MTTs). Life without poker Now after i understood how bad is this sitting in chair and never going outside, i started going to gym and more going out, walking around. I like to ride bicycle in summer and play basketball and football, swim. Summer is comming so need to start doing all thing that i can to keep myself to good health. When i was still in school i party a lot and drunk a lot, but those days are over, now i do those things rarely and i feel much better without drinking and smoking! Short term goals: -complete my challenge -keep good health and take good care of my health (also long term) - spend good summer near beach and going to some summer festivals and party a little -update this blog -do not go broke -go to gym more offten Long term goals: -make 50k bankroll for online poker -make Bankroll for live tournaments so i can travel and play some live events around the world -someday be able to go to WSOP and play events there -improve my game by taking different coaching -finish school ( write my bachelor) - complete other challenges -help some charities -travel around the world -make my family proud of what i do -crush MTTs 70$ and up -win WSOP -win SCOOP -win WCOOP -improve my mixed game skills (all types, love them) Challenge – GET TO THE TOP Mission – Get out of my unreal downswings in all sites i play, by playing MTTs mostly from 2$ -30$ , with few exeptions + mixing in some 180mans turbo on stars from 3$r – 35$ Site list where i will play ( dont know the schedule yet at what time and what site i will play at the specific day. I will play on site where i willl have any money): 1. Pokerstars 2. Pokerstars FR 3. Party Poker 4. Pacific88 5. Titan Poker (ipoker) 6. Black Chip poker (Merge) 7. Unibet (Ongame) 8. 5050 poker (microgaming) Dont know about last 2, if i will play on them So on to the next, how much im behind in each site from the highest point: 1. Pokerstars = -40 600$ (only schedule MTTs) 2. Party Poker = -3 200$ 3. Pacific 888 = - 6 000$ 4. Titan Poker = -4 200$ 5. Black chip poker = -3 200$ 6. Pokerstars FR = -6 800$ 7. Unibet = -1 100$ 8. 5050 poker = 800$ Rules So my rule about BI wont apply for Pokerstars FR because, there just inst enough tournaments for the specific buy in that i can try to play, so on that site i will play higher buy in around avg 40$. On sites like Party Poker, Pacific, Titan Poker, and Black Chip Poker i will start with buy in from 2-30 $ and when the BR (bankroll) will be pretty stable (aproximetly 1 500 - 2 000$) i will start to mix in maybe some 50$ MTTs, because first of all on those sites are much worst players than on Stars even at that level and secondly there just isnt enough normal tournaments to play in so small buy in ar 2- 30$, but still i will only play max 50$ buy in. Most strict following the rules will be on regular STARS, because that site just gives me headache &diams; Exeption MTTs Here will be list of wxpetion MTTs that i will play out of my buy in limits, only when i feel comfortable with my BR and still not regulary, only maybe once a week or so (if the week will be with shown profit) Here is the List: 1. Pokerstars - 100$ Sunday Kick Off (my favoutrite MTT) and also, maybe once a week 50$ BIG, 75$ and 55$ HOT or smth, will see but wont play any HUGE ones. 2. PartyPok...
