Hi everyone, my name is Peter, and I’m from Hungary. As I dont really know people from the forum, and people dont know me either, I think I should start with an introduction. About me I’m currently 33 years old, and after finishing university I’ve been working in corporate banks for 8 years. Throughout these (long-long) years I slowly realized, that I hate corporate life from the bottom of my heart :P, so started to look for an alternative, which suits me better than my current job/lifestyle. I’ve always been a huge strategy game enthusiast, that’s what I really like to do, so naturally came the idea to combine this with earning money, and I quickly found poker. Although I really enjoy all the activities related to the game, I have never considered this as a hobby, my goal has always been to play for a living someday (asap :)). I had no previous experience in poker, barely knew the rules, so I googled PS, started out really purposive, and tried to apply a “professional approach” (lol now) from the beginning. For example I use the same excel file for booking my results which I started to use on my first day of playing back in 2009 (but now it has a size of 1,5MB… :)). About poker and goals I’ve been playing fix limit for about 1,5 years, went up to 2/4 SH, then I switched to NL. I was playing on NL50, when a year ago I did quit my job, and started my life as a “pro”. I was a marginal winner back then (mostly rakeback pro), so I’ve spent the last 12 month to improve my game as much as I can. In the fall of 2012 I managed to achieve some fundamental improvements (fixing red line issues to some extent), and I’ve moved up to NL100 on Unibet a couple of weeks ago. My short term goal is to be a solid winning player at NL200 by the end of the year. My long term goal is to accumulate enough capital to be free from anything for the rest of my life (even from playing poker if I’m not in the mood… &diams;) I’m still pretty weak in many aspects in the game, like - playing versus 3bets, especially calling 3bets and playing postflop - not using enough creative, alternative, hard-to-read lines instead of “standard” ones - playing against ultra-LAGs in general (both pre and postflop) - playing deep in general and lots of others which don’t come into my mind right now… Last but not least, I’d like to thank you for this great promo, really excited to participate. I’m singing off now, and take a look around in the bootcamp forum… :)

Are you doing any of this already?

No, but I am starting today.
I've read J.T. Mental Game of Poker before, but didnt apply those concepts yet. It seems that I should...

Just for the record:
- session goal: more balanced preflop ranges (based on the bootcamp seminars)
- control myself in 15 min time frames not to check cashier, calm down if necessary
- notice what feelings trigger the need for checking

I've seen you have a vid on warm-up routine, will check that out as well.

Yes. check that video out. It will give you the structure you need.

Let me know how you like it...
