this shit is sooo dusty.Time to wipe out some of it.
So whats up...
Nothing much.
After my summer vocation at sea sight and partying n travelig live is getting back in old patterns.
Feel linkda sorry, summers leaving us,but hey it was a great summer.
Had amaozing vocazions,fall in love, visit couple of summer festivals, met tons of people and became afan of The Qemists.
Pokerwise...ufff rusty and shitty.
Put some of my br on pokerstars due to their 90% donw promotion.
Reached platinum but feel so confused about poker atm

Here is graph.

I am glad regarding above summer things and to read your blog again, but end of the post is so depresive. What makes you think like that about poker, the game you were so impressed by?

You can improve for shure, but you need to do most difficult thing-learn from the roots again. Ofc, I don't mean to learn everything again, but to refresh and fill gaps(I do have many of those). This new school is very promising, and I think that you would benefit big from it. Veriz is a great coach and I think that you can regain discipline and self-confidence by watching coaching sessions and commenting play with others. You do have recorded versions, so you can watch them later as well. I don't attend CS, but watch them later.

I mean, look what you have done with last one. After 3 weeks you stopped posting. If you want to succed in poker, crucial thing is to stay on your feet all rounds, and keep punching enemies where they are most vulnerable. Also, to know when to back up and how to receive beats.

I strongly believe that you can and will succeed if you put an effort into it. Try different things: play nitty style, play FR, don't try to win big each session but to not loose one. Begin to observe better tendencies of opponents, exploit them without spewing....

Wish you all the best

we can skype if you like

Hey KGB. Thx for tracking this blog.
Sorry for not replying, I was really busy this days.
We had muslim holiday Bajram and it was crowded here, tomorrow am going to Bosnia for the weekend, so its overall dynamic.
Yes you are correct about me non being constantly active in improvement of the game and playing mass quantity of hands.
Its due to my mental blocks and stuff,which need to be fixed.
Anyways I am infront of the crossroad so I belive things will change soon one way or the other.
I went to an interview today and am accepted for this super, very well paid job in Amsterdam.
I was very surpissed when the lady who interviewed me told me straight away that she will accept me straight , I just need to let her know till sathurday if am ready to go to Holland next week.
There were like 70 people for this working place and only 3 will be selecet.
If I take it I expect not to worry much about poker, but about new job, new living enoviroment and Amsterdam.
On the other hand I have newly renovated place to live.
Very good grinding place and awesome roomates.
So place which I was looking forward to live in and was expecting to move by now.
Plus ther eis this cute girl and some other golas and ofcourse my mom and my sister which are all reasons why I would like to stay here.
If I stay I will dedicate big chunk of my time to poker, so its other polarity.
Big dilema atm to be honest.
As I said tomorrow am off to Bosnia for vocation, looking forward to see family and friends, get crazy weekend, and will decide along the way.

Hope to catch you on skype next week ,so we can sweat.

Best Regards

Edot : btw congrads for your BSS diploma. signature looks super cool

Go to Holland and find some spare time grinding the micro's

I do not think it is worth staying in slovenia for poker. sure you have your newly renovated place but you can rent it out to someone and make profits there.

By the time you are in holland, i might not be in holland anymore but we will meet up sometime (tho it sucks you are leaving slovenia since I had slovenia/serbia/croatia trip in mind)

I wish you happy holiday to you and your family, as well.
That job is very nice news, wish you best of luck either you move or stay in Slovenia. Crossroads are easy to deal with, you just need to folow your instincts, and to pick correct path

There were like 70 people for this working place and only 3 will be seleceted.

Move to MTTs than, you are doing just fine

Have a nice time in Bosnia.
Stay in touch.

Hey guys.
Sorry for keepin ya waitin.
Guess I will have to find out to make up for it.I haven't been around for so long, that probly all my poker friends forgot me or leave poker world.
Well I am still here.
Still grinding at NL10.
Mean while was on nl20 and nl3o but due to withdrawals, bad BMR and downswings I end up on nl10 again.
Micro grinder 4life :f_biggrin:

I ve done some stuff in between but nothing I feel is worth mentiong here.
dont worry am sure it wont be a long before I fall back into my ordinary " bragging " mode :)

So about my poker:

After some brake in betveween and dealing with college I decided to take a shot at ipokers Betfred, where I have 55% rb .

Software pretty much sux in all views.There is no one signle thing about it that I like.It looks like its written in 90s, not big player pool in SH CS.
Not much tables so loooong waiting lines. sometimes 2 long.
Tons of useless no needy clicking on table.That becomes really annoying when u play on laptop without mouse.
But 55% rb overweights that I guess.

Players there are mostly rb loosers in long run, and 3bet monkeys.
Without that being my goal ofc I feel need to adress that I belie I aind much differend from them in any way shape or form.
I pretty much use every oportunity to spew moneys and beside of that my luck sucks big time.
I wont blame nothing about it but some really strange things happen there .
Some theory I developed in 16k hands since am there is that if you menage to pull b/e in long run on ipoker u will probly be 5bb/100 winning player otherwise.
Ofcourse I hope I am wrong but at this moment all of my being feels that.
Maybe the reason is that this month am down for 15bis while my EV being on -7 and 4 of those are due to coolers and 3 spews.

Study wise I re read PokerBlueprint and made some extensive notes.
I feel my preflop play needs some more tuning especially in understanding concepts of 3bettng and calling for value.
I began reding Small Stakes NL holdem and after 60 pages I found it pretty okish.
I havent learned nothing new so far,but obviously my there is still waaay to much to learn...

Here are some graphs from my grindings of ipoker this year(thats pretty much all grinding I ve done so far :

January :

Feb:

Poker wise, I don't play much. Sometimes for fun only. I decided to start playing from NL25+ when I collect enough cash for that. I do have half of it saved, and something on FT(who knows when!). I am borred playing less than NL10, and my plan is to start with clearing good deposite bonus with NL25-50. It is almost impossible to clear FDB without that. Even with above mentioned levels it is a stretch.

I don't use Skype that much. Last time few months ago. Mostly e-mail.

I'm gonna start blog as a diary, when I start playing. Now I enjoy to troll and spam other blogs. You should try that also, it can be a great fun. :f_biggrin:

I try to learn as much as possible from here.

jbpatzer's blog was great source to learn, but he decided to play some weird 5CD games and neglect NLHE. You know, math professor. They all enjoy weird stuff.

He is around, I expect him to visit your blog and say hello soon.

I don't think that is profitable at micros. I can't put mega volume ATM. Thnx anyway. Maybe in the future.

I'm fine, thank you. Just busy lately.

I don't mind cold and snowy winter at all. I mean, if I lived in some kind of a village, I guess it would be complete mess, but in a large city it only slows down trafic. Like it can be slower actually :rolleyes:.
I prefere to take a walk when it is snowy than rainy.

Since you left PS, Jb wrote a lot. It is a great read if you are interested in chess, 5CD and Premier league transfers:D. However in 2012, he started moving to the roots.

Yeah we speak over skype ocasionally.Some 2months ago we sweated on 5cd .
I like it too u know :)

Regarding 5CD, not that is a bad game, but I am not used to play that online. Esp. multitabling.

Hope to hear you soon. GL
