Day 17
Volume was horrible today, at first I didnt feel like playing today at all, then later in the day I wanted to play and it would be better if I didnt play. Results:
Overall Day 15 ($15BI):
Hours: 3h 00min
SNG: 50
Profit/Loss: - $69,33 (EV + $160, so another day with 15BI downswing)
VPPs: 297
Cant wait for this period to be over, only thing I can do is grind it out so thats another reason why Im extra dissapointed today, volume sucked, and variance sucked. Oh well I know tomorrow is another day and the only thing I can change from today is volume so Ill do that. Played Goldstar Freeroll today and as Im running lately I 3bet shoved AK 25BB and got called by KQs, Q hits the flop and Im out. (blah) See you guys tomorrow, stay cool! ♠_drink:
Normaly I dont post graphs because I dont have rights here on forum but here it is from friday and saturday (so You dont think Im lying 2 You guys 
)

Great stuff right?
Day 18
When I said yesterday that Ill put in 100sng today I forgot that today was World Handball championship final game and game for 3rd place. As a former handball player and handball fan I couldnt miss those games. So today I again dissapoint with volume but its not so bad. Games today where very soft (sunday probably) and I wish I played more than I did. Results of the day:
Overall Day 18 ($15BI):
Hours: 3h 45min
SNG: 77
Profit/Loss: + $89,28
VPPs: 427,68
WEEK #3: $15s

VPPs: 3518
ROI%: -0,02
ITM%: 36,8
Profit/Loss: - $2,13 (pre rb) , + $125,80 (post rb)
Week was breakeven but its not bad afterall because I was running like thing that comes out of ass.
Tomorrow Ill really try to go back to 100sng mark, stay tuned ♠_drink:
Day 19
Day started as a beauty, won decent $180 and couldnt lose a hand (almost), but after that things go like usual at this point of time. Lost every hand and it was ugly to watch and more uglier to play. Didnt manage to play 100 sng because I wasnt feeling good after 3rd session (mentally). Results are:
Overall Day 19 ($15BI):
Hours: 4h 25min
SNG: 78
Profit/Loss: - $113,47
VPPs: 463,32
As I write this Im still not sure if I will play today or take my day off. Probably it will be my day off for no good reason except to recuperate my mental strenght a little bit. I have a blessing that Tim64 my coach and mentor is on my side as except being a monster class coach is very good mental coach and thats what coach should be about. Before working with Tim my mental game was horrible and with Tim64 except improving my SNG game (huge) he also helped me to improve my mental game (and still is). If You guys are struggling at poker do Your best to get a good coach, its worth it (every $ You will pay). Stay tuned and have a good day today.
Day 20
Pokerstars is testing how long I need to go out of my mind, let me answer to that: "NEVER, so please stop testing me!" Today was one of the worst day I played, but Im not mad, not depressed, not angry, I feel just fine only a little bit tired because I started grinding little later in the day. Two sessions today with 10BI swing each, eeeeh just another day at the office I guess.
Overall Day 20 ($15BI):
Hours: 6h 16min
SNG: 97
Profit/Loss: - $218,92
VPPs: 576,90
Just for kicks here is the graph for last 4 days: 
(graph is displayed in Buy Ins -40BI in 4 days, GREAT)
Tomorrow is my day off, trust me I need one because my last day off was last monday, need rest so I think Ill spend tomorrow day in bed. Cya thursday guys, have fun, stay beautiful and sleep well ♠_thumbsup:
Day 21
Hey guys Im back from my day off, it wasnt exactly day off because I had so many things to take care (private things) but it counts as day off because I didnt play any poker. Today was very good day for grinding, good tables and decent volume, also I made some profit and thats sweet after so many horrible days. Lets see how I did:
Overall Day 21 ($15BI):
Hours: 5h 27min
SNG: 94
Profit/Loss: + $196,96
VPPs: 559,80
Wow everything is green, thats a rare thing , tomorrow all over again, You have to like poker as a job dont You? Well anyhow, if You have some questions to ask me please do Im open for any question no matter how stupid You think it is (As my friend and coach said in one of his public coachings "there is no stupid questions in poker") Cheers ♠_thumbsup: , and now its time for ♠_zZz:
Day 22
Sorry for the delay on update but I really wasnt up to write anything after the day yesterday. My happiness lasted could You believe one day!! Yesterday was so horrible, worst day so far. Volume was bad because I had to stop playing I didnt want to watch poker tables anymore. Today with a help from klompa123 I reviewed hands and nothing I could do to prevent losing so much. Setups preflop, postflop, card dead and couldnt hit any card. Here are results:
Overall Day 22 ($15BI):
Hours: 4h 39min
SNG: 77
Profit/Loss: - $357,69 (EV -$60)
VPPs: 460,98
Today I played 12 SNG so far and wont play anymore, I need to deal with that horrible day I had yesterday. At least today will be positive day, I won $20,17. Tomorrow Ill be back to serious grinding, we will see if I can make some money finnaly. No more excuses right? Ill keep my head up and try not to hit the wall!
Cya tomorrow guys! ♠_grin:

What to say about this week, running bad and trying to play as much as possible to grind that out. I know Im better than this and must prove that to myself, so another week is ahead of me and will do my best as usual, lets hope stars will be on my side.

ITM%: 36,5
Profit/Loss: - $634,66 (pre rb) , - $317,88 (post rb)
First month of writing my blog is over, and results are dissapointing, I was hoping to share my joy of winning money with You guys but it didnt go as planned, I lost 2 much money, and BE now would be nice but Im not playing poker to be BE, like I said before ultimate goal is 5-7% ROI on $15s and to become supernova until August (that will happen, im pretty sure about it) Most of the money Ive lost happened this month, this 8 days was just horrible as Im 50BI under EV at the start of february. Must be some good times ahead so Im very excited about that. Keep following guys.
Today I think I wont play because I woke up sick, temperature is 38.2C, my head hurts, throat hurts, and I look like train wreck 
so I will listen to my friends advice klompa123 not to play sick. New post is coming tomorrow. 
Hope you feel better soon.
You came very close to your Hour & SnG goals in your first month. These were not easy goals to hit just starting out again. You also managed to make it to the $15's.
A bit of a rough start results wise, but the rest of the goals will come. Don't forget to celebrate the successes!
Thanks Ramble, Im still not feeling good, woke up with temperature again so probably another day without poker 
, as for goals I agree with You I was close and would make evrything happen if there wasnt such a shitty run.
How do you celebrate your successes? To be honest celebrating is not on my list for now
Solid 1st month man in terms of hours put in.
Too bad the volume was not high enough (due to table selecting of course) as it would increase your chance to run closer to your EV.
Are you planing to add some more tables to increase your games per hour with table selecting?
What is your plan in next 30 days as far as hours for grinding and games to play?
Also how many hours did you study past 30 days? (just curious about this one in particular!)
Things will turn around I am sure, keep up the positive mindset and the updates!
Hey Ivica,
First of all thank you for your feedback.
Yep Im definetly planning to increase number of tables but only after Ill reach my desired level of confidence on still new limit to me.
Like I said my plan for next 30 days is to play min. of 120h and reach 2000 sng mark, hopefully numbers at the end will be higher. I dont wish to put some unrealistic numbers of hours or games because of burn out.
Im studying every day, every day Im going thru my HH and doing at least one sweat session with klompa123 per day (I sweat him most of the time 1h min.), also I have coaching sessions with Tim (biggest help of course) approximately every 10 days or so. I dont keep track of how many hours I spend on study but Im trying to do it every day. For two days now Im sick as hell so only thing I can do is studying and do sweat sessions with klompa123.
Have a good day Ivica and once more thank You for your feedback.
Very solid goals. Great that you are doing daily sweats, those can resolve a lot of spots immediately.
Look forward to next big update and hopefully you will run with or EV next time!
Best of luck!
Day 25
Im back on grinding after two days of sickness, still not feeling great, but I couldnt let another day pass by me without poker. Volume was lower because I played fewer tables than normal and was table selecting. Today I lost money again but nothing unbearable. Overall Im back to grinding and tomorrow volume will be probably back to normal.
Overall Day 25 ($15BI):
Hours: 4h 46min
SNG: 62
Profit/Loss: - $29,56
VPPs: 371,16
Today I had coaching session with Tim and he found some mistakes I have to work on, and Im on to it right now. Better days ahead for sure. Cya guys 
Day 26
Getting back in shape from illness, still not feeling 2 great but not 2 bad. Today was funny day, I was playing lower number of tables to work on mistakes that Tim found. Feel good about my game today and even satisfied with volume. Day is 20BI swing as you can see from graph below.
Overall Day 26 ($15BI):
Hours: 5h 36min
SNG: 75
Profit/Loss: - $61,22 (EV +217,56) Graph: 
VPPs: 454,86
Lets hope tomorrow green line will follow red line into winning some money. Its a little hard to grind grind and grind without results. Thats life
And once more for kicks my february graph: 
Day 27
Volume is horrible today because I started playing session around 14h and tables where full of regs so I decided not to play. Later in the day I got massive headache and I needed to lie down. So only session I played is from 21h when my headache wasnt so bad and thats the reason for volume fail. As for run it was usualy bad like entire month of february. Lets see the numbers:
Overall Day 27 ($15BI):
Hours: 2h 49min
SNG: 39
Profit/Loss: - $138,17 (EV - $7,00), yes it is almost 10BI again
VPPs: 235,26
What to say about tomorrow, one thing is sure, Ill play a lot because I have to make up for all those lost days I was sick and not feeling so good. Now Im going to sleep, not dissapointed or angry just sad because I didnt put enough h or volume today. ♠_cry:
