Midstakes soldier from Hungary

Hi! :spade:I'm a 20 years old guy from Hungary, I'm studying to software engineer at the university. Sometimes it's hard to combine poker and study but can handle it, and need a thing what I can do, when abandon playing poker. :spade:I play poker professionally approx. 3 years ago. In 1.5 year I went up from NL10 to NL400, then I stucked on that level, I played a lot on that limit with not so good winrate (between 0.5 and 1 BB/100), and always withdrawing my roll. Now I do it different, learn a lot, hand analyse a lot, and my winrate has fastly improved, and try to move higher and higher :) I'm playing currently NL400-NL1000 SH on Ongame and bwin.party. My short term goal is to be an NL1000 stable winning regular, Hope I can do it in this year. My long term goal is of course to be the best :f_cool: :spade:I'm really far from playing optimal, but I'm optimistic. I will be better hand to hand :f_biggrin: I struggle with playing against overaggressive villains who put me impossible spots and hard decisions. I have problems with playing dynamics too. I don't exactly know what my leaks is, I mean I have a lot of special question about "how to play ... when ..." but don't know what are my biggest mistakes (maybe too much wp? or too much herocall?) I just try to do the best play in the pots against the villains. :spade:I want to improve my game with this bootcamp, I think it's a great opportunity. I want to hear other peoples and the coaches thoughts, and discuss a lot of things and hands etc. Excuse my english, it's very difficult to write. I plan to learn it better, I hope you understand me guys. :f_frown: GL at the tables!

Sorry, I largely neglected my 'diary' in bootcamp, I focused on reading the strategy topics, and seminars.

Thanks Primož!
Of course you helped a lot ♦ I'm even more motivated to play poker. The only problem is that I'm very lazy, if you have something cures for that.. :rolleyes: I tried to write down my vision and mission, what is look like for me:

1. Why do you play poker?
I enjoy that I'm successful in it, maybe it's talent or something, it's a great game for my personality. It's also profitable and love this game

2. What do you wish to achieve in poker?
I think I will want to do as long as I can. If I want to stop, a good basis for my plans and other aspects of life, especially financially.

3. What motivates you to play poker?
As I wrote above, I am glad I am to be really successful at something. Of course the money motivated too, I want to be richer, and money is like sea water :tongue:

Worked a lot of advice you gived me, especially the energy management thing. I also use now the weekly thing list, it's better that I always keep in mind my goals I'll try this book what you recommended.

I still have a lot of questions, I will write soon as I can, and I try to take advantage of the rest of the time, which remained in the camp.

Whenever you want to do something and you don't want to lose focus and get distracted by other things you can play a game called "Honoring the present moment". It's very simple but hard to maintain over longer periods of time so practice is needed. What you do is that in whatever you do you practice playing your A-Game. If something is worth doing, give it you undivided attention. Doing he dishes, being in a conversation with another person, or playing poker. Pretend that everything is dependent on the quality of your presence. If you focus on putting quality effort and attention right now, the outcome and the effectiveness will improve. Which saves time for you.

This is a great way to always practice being in a-Game territory. Give it a try
