Hi Guyz!
So I am going to start playing poker kind of seriously. Up till now I played just for fun,
but as you can imagine, it has not been very profitable experience ♦
This summer I worked a bit and made some money. I also like playing poker and improving my game, so I thought I could try playing some serious fame :)

I am setting up this blog to keep me motivated.
I will post some graphs and updates every once in a while, I ll also try to set up some goals in the beginning of every month :)

I would say wish me luck, but since poker is not about luck, wish me nerves of steel and loads of motivation to improve my game :)

Who Am I?

I am a 19 year old guy from Slovakia. I live in small town in south, just finished high school. This fall I am starting Uni, studying Finance.
My bigest hobby is Triathlon, which I have been doing for more than 10 years now.

Poker an I :)
I started playing poker when I was 15/16, just for fun with my friends. We didnt really know anything about outs and odds, but we knew a lot about luck back then ♦
After couple months I read SuperSystem2 by Doyle, which changed my thinking and took my game to next level . After that, I also read Every hand revealed by Gus and couple articles online, but nothing so significant.

My first experience(s) with online poker was/were quiet dissapointing, as I thought I could turn 10$ into thousands overnight. I tried everything 1table SNGs, MTT, HU SNG, CG, but as I didnt follow ANY bankroll management and couldnt handle my tilts, I ended up broke every time :f_cry: ♦ I think I lost couple hundred $ overall.

This summer I was thinking I could start doing something that could make me some money. In the end it came down to trading or poker. I decided for poker, cuz I know more about poker and my bankroll wasnt quiet big enough for setting a serious trading account.

Current Status:

:spade:9tabling CG FR, NL5 on Pokerstars
:spade:Bronzestar (goin Silverstar this month)

Long Term Goals:

:diamond:make money playing poker, while studying at uni :f_cool:

Soo today was a really nice day, I have to say. I played three sessions cuz I had nothing else to do and simply felt like playing a lot. I am not trying to force it too much, cuz it gets harder to concentrate and I cant play my a game anymore.

Here is todays graph:

I am not content with my blue line - the money won in showdown. I know I call to much, even when Im 90% sure I ve lost. I will have to work on that and my productivity can increase rapidly :)

I had some really interesting games, which Im going to post ASAP :)

Hi there! ♠_cool:

How are you?
Can I ask: how many tables you play? Which site? And what type of tables (FR or 6max) ?

Just interested.

Also how big is your bankroll?

Btw, I congratulate you on your last session. Good job. ♠_thumbsup:

Hi!

I play NL5, FR, six tabling on PokerStars. I find it hard to concentrate on more than 6 tables at the time, tried it for couple hands, didnt work out very well.
My bankroll now is 150$, 30BIs :)

Sooo, I was away for last couple days and didnt play any poker.
Now as I am back I guess its time to set some goals for September. I may not be able to play everyday, since I do also have other stuff to do this month, and I am starting my first year at uni. So only a very few goals to keep me motivated. ♠_biggrin:

Short term goals for september:

:spade:Reach SilverStar status
:spade:Spent 4 hours studying poker a week
:spade:Post min. 20 hands for evaluation
:spade:Finish month with positive EV
