thx, vonki!

So yesterday didn't updated my blog, because played a lot and stopped my session really late.

Lately playing a lot, but not studying my game. Yesterday reviewed some hands and numbers, but couldn't do much with them, because sample size at regular tables is low so far. But it's not an excuse, I still can analyze hands or analyze some new concepts, I was just lazy two past days. So today I will review my yesterday's session and will analyze at least one hand mathematically

So here it is a graph of yesterday and yeah it's sick, I've played for 8hours total Those spikes at the second half of the graph is because of deep tables with antes, I enjoyed this game so much, because it's all about post flop skills, don't remeber the last time I was so exciting playing poker, even results aren't shining so much.

So today to do list:

Review yesteray's session;
Analyze one hand mathematically;
Volleyball in the evening;
Mininmum 3hours of grind;

So stay tuned for update

Everything was going pretty fine, except last session, where I played really bad (it was bad that I've played too long and tired). I was just clicking random buttons and spewing my stacks and I've lost 11BIs.

I got really angry on myself that I know I should've stopped earlier, but still kept playing

Now before every session I set alarm clock after 120mins, not to play too long.

Weather was bad today to do something else so worked a lot on my game and played 3 sessions, total 4h 40mins.

Here comes the graph:

So today again managed to woke up at 10am, took a breakfast and then started studying my game. Was reviewing and marking my hands in my database and then I had a live hand review with other lithuanian grinders. I think it was really useful and productive. So total today about 3hours of studying my game [X].

But after that didn't have a lot of energy to grind, so played short session and felt I should better stop it now, coz it might end bad. I'm glad that I controlled myself. Then my girlfriend came back from Norway trip, so spent evening with her. And finally managed to grind for 1.5hour, so today total 2 hours 15min of grinding [X].

Graph of today:

So today was quite a good day overall. Studied not so much, almost for 1hour and played not so many hands either, total almost 3hours.

After a long time mixed some NL200 tables. Not differs much, because anyways trying to play only against fishes, just less tables compared to NL100 and regs join good tables faster.

So today's graph is here, would be gorgeos if not that that painful 600$ pot beat at the end of the session.

Today didn't study my game much, but played quite a lot, total for 7hours. On average played like my B game, there were some streaks were I started loosing concentration and just clicking buttons and it is well visible at my red line. But overall quite a nice day.

And here comes the graph(NL100 and NL200):

The last day of 2nd week. Didn't play much, but still was quite happy about my game. Mixing more and more NL200 tables.

So weekly results:
I'm breakeven for this week and it kinda sucks, because mainly it is because of two bad sessions, where lost a bunch of buy ins.

Here is a weekly graph, redline is unsteady, but when I play my best it slightly goes up, so this graph contains some bad sessions, that's why it doesn't look pretty.

This graph is only @NL200, more pleasant to eyes.

And about study volume can't say much, didn't tracked hours of study, but can't say it was low, just last days, where I didn't touch poker at all.

To sum up, this week is quite great, just need to avoid those bad sessions where I spew my hardly earned BIs

Didn't play poker at all, because went camping, over the night, near the lake with friends.

Came back from camping today and after that still went to play some volleyball for 3 hours, even I was really tired, slept just like 4 hours.

Anyways had a really great time there, a lot of fun.

One more funny, but painful thing happend to me. I almost didn't hang myself accidently ♦ From our campsite to lake was area with trees. I was running fast down to lake and didn't realise hanging string for laundry between trees, and bum, hit into it with my neck and fell down. Now my neck and chin looks awesome ♦

And talking about poker, didn't play a single hand today too, because too tired for that, don't want to mess things up.

Tomorrow, I think I'll go to town by the sea for 2 nights with my girlfriend and friend with his gf. If that so, so no poker again. And only several days left till Monday and I'm going to Golden Sands for Eureka poker tour. So it will going to be quite big break from online poker, but it's ok, I need some vacation

So we will see if I'm going or not. That's it for now, see ya!

So as I said, spent those days in town by the sea with my friends and girlfriend, was pretty nice chill days

Came back home finally and in the evening decided to play some poker after a short break, played for 1hour and took a serious beat. Started feeling really bad, my stomach was aching so much. I couldn't sleep and this isn't the worst part, I started vomiting after some time and total I threw up 11times during the night Such a huge downswing.
Next morning went to a hospital as my temperature risen up to 38, but medical researches didn't show anything special. Probably it was food poisioning. After I came back home I slept like 90% of the day, but next morning I started feeling good again.

Nothing much to review about this week poker stuff, because played like 3hours total including playing 15mins NL50 HU on my way to capital city, made 150$ Anyways had a great chill week

As I started feeling better, finally I could pack my luggage for tomorrow's flight to Golden Sands Eureka poker tour, my first serious live poker event pretty excited!

So yesterday came to Golden Sands, for a warmup lost 200€ with 51% equity. It was really weird when came into casino, coz never played live with real money before, but already got used and today going to crush some tables.

Just claimed player bag from Pokerstars desk, got headphones, plastic cards, Tshirt and some logos ♦ Always pleasure to get something

Tomorrow main event starts So good luck to me, follow me on twitter for more updates

Good luck man and have a great time

Ship it! Just checked your twitter, doing well for now I see

FML! Thought that I ended day with 13bb, but somehow I misunderstood and skipped last levels, thought that I was dead, but 7bb left. My bad run became worse, now cant get place at cash table, too much people.

So far 100€ down in 2days.

Meh, hope the things will turn around

Edit: got a seat, first hand +70€, gogoogo

So after yesterdays session +250€ total for the trip, played till 6am Now off to dinner, maybe will go to the beach for some vball later and then again will go to grind cash

Busted ME on 4th hand 88<KQo, but yesterday had one more good cash games session, total up 700€ for the trip, so decided that I'll gamble 330€ Mini-Event today. Took a nap for 2hours, now waiting for tourney to start.

More often updates on twitter.

So survived day 1A and I'm really happy about my game, played really well. Total 47 players of 180 go to day 2, I have 90k, average is 45k, so I'm in a great shape. Day 2 on Sunday.

Too tired to play cash today, so I'll just go to sleep and rest this evening.
