yeah... I still have a job though... ♦
Still having some mindset issues...
Nothing helped against a monkey tilt when I lost 3 way pot for 4k chips
on the higher BI for me with 98% on the turn... He then promptly rivered a quads over my top set on the river...
I know this is stupid t o complain about, but I wonder if there would ever come a tiem when I would get upset over such things...
Hi guys,
A bit of important update - after some time of contemplating my options I finally decidedto quit my job and try this poekr thing full time
Today I told my boss, and his reaction was really nice - he wished me luck and said that it is ok to go back to work if this whole poler thing does not work out for me, he even said it is ok to go and play with my colleagues for the IT Championship football cup, which is awesome...
So two and a half months from now, with the start of 2013 I would be doing poker for a living - wish me luck
pretty big step in your life,but from reading this blog i believe you are ready for it.
good luck and keep us updated
Big step for you mate but no doubt in the world that you can do this. Your bosses reaction is very impressive
Nice to know they'll have you back if it doesn't work out, but I'm pretty sure it will. Good luck!
Thanks for teh kind words
I really hope it is for the best, however this decision came with a good deal of anxiety... Will see what lays ahead
Gavron I am glad I found your blog!
I have been searching for somebody that is playing on Ongame sngs 5 max 11$. Since you have passed that limit I would like you to share your experience with me more
I am starting from 1st of November 11$ buy in on ongame and hope to have roi (without bonuses and rakeback) between 0-2% with 4500 games a month.

@ Tim - thanks you sir - I still owe you one about our canceled meeting in the UK, hope for it happen in the future though
@ <3 - thanks a lot - really means a big deal to know I can talk to someone already so succesful in this field (and that also includes you too Tim)
A quick update - Ive been away for a week, visiting Manchester UK.
It was an awesome trip really, but it took a lot physically
I played football 4 times, tenis one time and this was after walking ~15km each day sightseeing various stuff
I am struggling a bit with my concentration and rhytm since I came back, making some silly mistakes, so I have to work on that in the short run

Heya,
So I just came back from the Vienna Diamond party this weekend and... What can I say it was amazing ♠_love: My whole trip didnt start very well as I mistook my flight date which resulted in me staying one more day in Bulgaria, but whatever...
Then I flew in on Friday morning and it all started.First I got to mycousins place to drop off my luggage, then met Schnitzelfish, Kevvu, and MP89EST and we were off to the Zoo at Schonbrunn for some animals loving (mainly SF, read his own blog for turtle related details), trashtalking and drinking
(Kevvu and MP89EST had some flask with a a liquor which they were so good to share).
Then in the evening we went to TwiceT's baller(yess indeed) appartment in which he hosted a trashtalk PS3 party, and he was kind to invite all PS members even if he didnt know them personally (me being one such). It was a really nice party and
I was glad meeting so many people, whom I have known only as screen names, pitty I had to leave early to meet some bulgarian friends of mine.
So I was off to Vienna city with my friends and we changed like 3-4 bars drinking considerable ammounts of alcohol in each of them..The party finished around 5 in the morning and I gladly went to rest... for two hours!!!
The thing is that my cousin has two butiful daughters and a baby boy, and as it turned out they were waking each morning around 7 AM to come and play in my room :).
When I got up I met a Friend of mine and we got to a mall where we met the other guys (SF, Kevvu, MP89EST, Awishformore) and we organized a sushi eating competiotion for lunch, which SF promptly won by cheating his way stacking dishes from one bite sweets(thats right I said it).
Then after coming back to my cousin's place I took a half an hour nap and was off to the Diamond party event. At first we started by drinking a couple of beers + dinner @ Martinjak and then we went to a disco called Platzhirsh where the real party started
At some point TwiceT and most of the guys from the previous evening party showed up and got to the VIP area zone. I have to note that
TwiceT Gerv and Awesomeo(a Bulgarian guy that I didnt know before this party) showed quite some dancing skills. It was really fun to talk to some members from teh community like Gerv Ash05 and Manciika, as well as dividing my time into 85% drinking and 15% danicng.
So when I half drank myself to oblivion I decided that it is time to go home around 4:30-5 AM.

Hopefully I can attend some more of these fun parties in the future
