Best of luck going pro Gavron!
I had 300 buy ins ds on turbo 11s on party that lasted from end of october to early january :) That is when I decided to switch to hypers, my mental game has gone very strong and now no swing will bring me down. In your case I suggest switching down level , rebuilding a roll and then giving it a shot. I read you said that you lost big chunk of your bankroll , so I am only telling you because of that to go down a level.
All the support from Serbian grinder go go go !

P.S. What is the traffic like on Ongame for 6 max hypers (11s?)

As soon as you are all in, minimise the table or look away. go back to it a couple of seconds later. Either you are still in the tournament or you got knocked out. if you got knocked out the only reason for caring about how it happened is because it tells you about your opponents broke range

+1. One positive side when I have started to increase table amount to clearly over 10 tables is the fact that in most cases I don't see results. Mostly using stacked style. Unless I am interested to see villain hand.

If you are within BR, I'd keep adding them from time to time. There are some hours when they're REALLY soft.

For those of you wondering how bad can the Onngame variance hit you in a small sample

On the other hand i run like god on 22$

If only they didnt take 2.5xsample size to get even with the 54$....

As i Promised to Ivicailiev77 A.K.A. Peki, I will do a short summary of 2013.
Basically it was my first year trying to be a poker pro.
So the year is over and i am still playing poker so i guess that is a good thing :)
I supported myself financially well traveled a good deal, visiting Austria,Serbia and Romania.
I had a lot of free time and was 'working' playing the game that i enjoy so much, without having bosses etc. I would say it was a good experience.
The poker results on the other hand were quite dissapointing. Ive met with the biggest downswing in my life the last two months, which revealed couple of things, the most important of which is that I am a huge mental game fish. It also revealed that i have quite some work to do on my game which i hope will motivate me to work even harder next year on both these issues.

During this year as a poker pro i have the honor and great pleasure to meet in person with some other poker pro players which was really nice experience - I went to Serbia to meet
with Predrag (IvicaIliev) and Gerovit(the king of all trolling and the patriarch of trash talk). I also met with guys from their stable who are not members of pokerstrategy, but very nice guys and quite good company.

I also met with TwiceT and EmanuelC16 in Vienna and we had a really nice conversation over some beers and dinner - it was really good to communicate with guys who have accomplished much further in poker and business than I have, and it gave me a good perspective on things.

Lastly i want to thank to this great community, which has given me the chance to grow as poker player and person.
Shoutout to lessthanthree - without his handevaluations I would probably had to look for a bartender job already (ok maybe something closer to programing, but nevertheless..), to captain Kurk for being a good friend and a person you can always turn to for trustworthy advice(well maybe except for football, but i dont judge - every person has some flaws), to Demonic and Tim64 with the plea to 3bet me less in the future.

See you all on the tables, guys, and hopefully in person in the near future (I conduct myself much better when there is beer, not poker chips on the table).

Have a great 2014 all!

TL;DR - I sucked at poker, but still had a great yeat ;)

Happy new year brate all the best to you and your family may all the wishes come true !

Awesome yearly update in this year I think you should:

- Come to Serbia way more than 2 times (like 10 times or just move here for example)
- Prepare to go with me to USA for 4 weeks in May
- Crush 30-60s with 3%+ ROI pre RB
- Make enough money to consider Thailand move with me and Demonic next year
- Buy me a lot of beers for shopping vs me in the games :heart:

Happy holidays brate and all the best
