Thank you for your couraging message! And this messages will keep my motivation up to continue this blog!

Hi guys,

yesterday I have a day off, slept almast all day long, didn't do anything constructive, if the rest it didn't count that way. I needed this now, so I feel so much better now!

And at the evening I didn't find nobady to gulp down a beer, so decided to go to play some live poker. There is 2 (or 3) poker rooms in the town, 1 of them I have never been, cheked the 2 tournament schedule, and decided to go to a aprx 22$+5,5$ MTT, it started at 19:00, it was a deepstack freezout tourney, started with 40k chips, on 100/200 mit 20 min blinds. It was fun, and the table I played almast all day long was really funny, at the beginning I terrorized the 3 handed games, almast all the pots won against 2 passiv guys, and we started to fill, 8 tables were running with 2-3 players at the start, but at the end of the late reg period, there were 82 registered players, so a quite nice pricepool come together.

I will write down some key moments, that led to my position at the end:
- on my right sit a really loose aggro player (I will reference him as LAG), he take on tilt a guy next to her right, he was really loose in opening pre, postflop played a quite aggro style, but notigh close to call hem a maniac. So one of the first big hands we played: I'm SB wit 66, UTG+1 bet 3BB, 3 calls, the LAG calls, I call, BB call, flop: A65, I checked, everybody checks, LAG gus bet, I raise, everybody folds expect the loose guy. No FD on the table. Turn and river is a brick, I bet enough on the turn, to easily put mysef all in on the river, so I doubled up on that guy, he mucked, but he said, and as I saw her game, he wouldn call me with nothing, someting like AK+.

- not far from this game, I was BB, everybody folds, the SB (LAG) opens 3x, I push, he calls. QQ vs 55, and hold.

- then a long period of bad starting hands, I fell down a bit, then come this hand: I'm BU, 1 minraise from UTG+2, then 4 calls, I call with 46s,SB BB calls. Flop: 55Q, everybody checks, turn: 8 (I made a gutshot and a flush draw), everybody checks, LAG bets someting 20% of the pot, I call , everybody folds. Rivver: Q, and the LAG checks. I've got something like 60BB, and the pot was about 35, so I decided to shot a bluff, about 10 BB, wanna sell my Q, but got a snapcall, and I mucked my hand, he showed a full of 5's. I tried to bluff that much, to have enough stack to play, the turn was a really interesting choice, I have the odds to call against the drill, but some player behind me could cause a bit of trouble, but their checks on the flop indicates that they are really week, so against them, I'm still okay with the call, maximum a bit more money get into the pot, they also chasing some draw... Opinion about the hand?

- the same table, some people change, but the LAG and meg on the left are still in play, he again have someting 100 BB+, I've got 30, I'm UTG wit KK, open 2,2X, a shorty NIT reaise all-in (only about 1 BB more to call), LAG reshove, I call. NIT: KK, I: KK, LAG: AQs, KK's hold. I doubled up, around 60 BB's. (theye are the 2 people who I have my key hands, so will call them this way).

- there were some hands, where good amount of chips I lost or won, but couldnt write them now, so we get to 20 people, we all sit to other table, the LAG goes to the othe side of the table, I was on seat 2, LAG to seat 7, NIT to seat 4. In the first few hands, I shoved a really aggro picture, jumped into the BU, and opened with aggression with some hands, to build my image. I have about 20 BB-s, and the avrage was 14 I think, so it was not easy, didn't felt comfortable with the push or fold plays.

- I was MP1 opened with 55, the NIT shoved, 23k was the open (10k blinds, 1k ante), he shoved 33k, he shoved QQ, and hold again.

- after this, I made some good plays against a reguar taggy player, he tried to steal from CO, I called from BB with A6, flop was QJ2, he check behind, this indicated that he has maximum a 3rd paar, this guy cbets all the time with 2nd paar+, and the cb's will be really weak, so turn come: 6, I bet, and won the pot.

- then I made some bad playes, it was something like 1:30, so after 6,5 hours of play, I was BB, and the NIT shorty guy open push about 58k chips, binds are 6/12k with 1,5k ante, everybody folds, I have 99 on BB, and I called. I thought it is on the edge of my range, and he could steal wider because of the passiv table. I take em on KTs+, KJo+, every PP's, and all the suited aces, and something like A8o+ (everybody loves so much the sutid hands live...), note sure if he would push so much, I thought so, maybe that a missread, but he shoved an AJs (that didn't falsify my range guess), and the 99's didn't hold, 2552J (have a lot's of outs to win or split, unfortunatly), I fall back to about 9 BB.

- and the worst play of the hand, only 17 players left, the LAG guy gets to my left again, 1 player was beetwen us, the other guys fall out, and he open pushed from CO, I'm SB, and repushed with ATo, BB fold, LAG calls. That wasn't a repush, just an all-in call, cause turned out, I've got 1k less than the guy, so AK holds, I'm out, in the 17. place, after 7 hours of play. How bad was this play? I'm sure if heres I should call with something like 99+, AQo+, Ajs+? Or even tighter?

In summary it was a good experience, in a new place I made a deep run, but didn't played my best, we went for a 600$ first place, FT pays, so it wasn't so close, but my mistake ends this one. I runed quite well, and made good decisions on the start of the game, but at the end, I get tired, and made bad decisions. Shame on me. Maybe next time...

I'm not happy how is went, after the bust out hand, i was at a plce where i have never been before, 10km's away from my home, and the metro didn't goes, and almast lost in the building. A nice dealer helped me out, where can I found the night bus, that replaced the metro. And in top of that, the bus driver didn't know the way, so it was a kinda long ride...

In the near future I will return to this club, and will win this mtt, the payers not so good, to be honest, my NL game isn't good, but I felt that better than the avarage player in this club, I need to have some live practice, I found out a lot of thing about live game yesterday, and I think these deep mtt's a really good way to make some experience with +EV tourneys. And they are more than 8 hous long, so you can test your stamina, maybe that what causes my lost....

Didn't find better music to express my feelings about this week:

Hi,
another week passed, and if you read back a little bit, you will know what's going on this week. Not the best week in my life, but never mind, have to go on! And last evening got a cold, maybe because the chilli wheater, so I don't feel myself the best, but I was ok in the afternoon, and have 2 really good sessions, yesterdays live NL session helped me a lot, my exploit game get so much better because of that time, I didn't changed so much in my game, just become more alert, and play better in some spots.

:heart:Last weeks goals:
- minimum 15 hours of poker (online CG: 5,3 hours, online tourney: 4 hours, live tourney: about 6,5 hours)
- get ready for the WCOOP, and play my best poker smile - sort of, didn't played my best, but played good
- every day a 15 minute workout, that contains 30 push ups, 30 sit ups, 30 squats, 30 back lift (7/2)
- keep clean the flat - sort of, didn't make a big clean up, maybe in 2 weeks, but it's all right now
- finish my part in ESTIEM wiki - no progress, it demotivate me, that I'm the only one who workes on this right now, and have not enough time to finish it all alone...
- Jared's client questionare - you will know if that's done...
- start writing down what and when I eat, and wanna make a good daily food plan, if you have any idea how to do that, please tell me! smile - nope, I ate quite okay, have to recalculate my intake, but the way is good, but didn't make a single note...

So, it's mainly red, not good. Shame on me! I feel that, the way is okay, but I'm too lazy to make everything work, but I have to, need to find what motivates me, I'm in a kinda motivational shortage, not only in poker, but in everything.

My goals to next week:
- minimum 15 hours of poker
- every day a 15 minute workout, that contains 30 push ups, 30 sit ups, 30 squats, 30 back lift
- keep clean the flat
- finish my part in ESTIEM wiki
- Jared's client questionare
- start writing down what and when I eat, and wanna make a good daily food plan, if you have any idea how to do that, please tell me! smile

Daily music:

Thanks for reading an commenting!

oh, this week is complete disaster in all way. I don't think that, I'm good enough for this limits, cannot win anything, suck all year long, -0,2 BB/100 on a 150k sample, it sucks, and it's not too good in $'s with RB either...

I cannot understand, what the fuck this regulars does:
Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$2/$4 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (3 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A:h, 9:s.
BU folds, Hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: (4 SB) 6:h, 2:c, A:d (2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (4 BB) 4:s (2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks.

River: (4 BB) 2:d (2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 8 BB.
Results follow:

BB shows three of a kind, twos(J:c 2:s).
Hero shows two pairs, aces and twos(A:h 9:s).

BB wins with three of a kind, twos(J:c 2:s).

Could somebody explain me what the fuck is he(or she) doing? This is how you can win in this game? Cause I made everything all bad then... This 1k+ $ swings in a really short period is hard to bear... Shouldn't wathch my results, but because of my half roll is in fpp's, I have to take a look at every session if I have to step down, maybe I should anyway, or a cashout, and leave this all thing behind...

Last weeks result: all red.
Doesn't fell good at the first 2 days, played only a few hours of poker, I'M not sure if I can reach SN this year, need 9k VPP / month (a bit more), and have a lot of things to do with uni, and work, and I hate that I cannot compete with these (above mentioned) regulars, and anyway you strongly beleive that they do a lot of thinds wrong, they end up winning, and I end up maximum break even, so after a whole year of poker, I'm not sure if I want to continue this...

Next weeks plan: think everything throug, what I want from poker, and in my life... Not sure if anything goes in the right direction...

Hey Baluuu111

Don't discourage yourself for a downer, it happens to everyone (myself included).

I runned very hot for the first two weeks of september and them well :facepalm:... and all seemed to go against me and all that stuff. One thing sure is that variance affects our plays sometimes (we often miss some thin value bets, we can be more nit, etc). and it can go on the otherside too were we are too much optimistic. But what difference the good than the great players is that this sh*t don't affect them too much and they carry on (I try my best on that and I stay neutral the more I can).

For that hand well... I've seen worst ;). Maybe that guy has a default of raising all pairs+ on flop and his draws wtv, and it's a blind battle... but I don't want to teach my competion, if you know what I mean :P.

Come on shark, review your play, work on it and make that comeback king!

HI Mar, and everybody who reads!

You're totally right, and I have to work a lot on my mental game, not only in poker, but every aspect of life, it effect my game, I use my normal std game, that is a few tenth BB / 100, as I see, first my table select skill is worsen, then I start to play my robot game, that's aprx the same as the other BE/slightly winning grinders game, and this is the same in my life, with other tasks too. So this is how i tilt, and this is caused by the medium lenght bad runs, and the big $ swings, if I have other problems in my mind from IRL, and I think the biggest problem is that, all my tilt problems come from IRL problems.
About the hand: it's not a std game from this player, it mustt be a new feature, or a bug(missclick, miss something), not sure, but checked in my database, he didn't do this kind a free card raises...

Let's see a Mashlow "motivational piramid":

The bottom 3 part is the basic needs, so maybe I should concentrate on them.

Let's take a closer look:

Biological and physiological needs:
Basic life needs: it's okay, I have to work on better quality food and drink, better timetable, enough sleep, and a bit better financial situtation ( I won't say that it's bad, but I have enough money for my life expenses, and a bit of entertainment, but not even close to a holiday trip, here can poker help a lot), and maybe the sex belongs to the 3. category (but it's not easy to categorize ♦ )

Safety needs: have no problem with this category I think, I have a good knowledge, so if I have to find a job for me in the future, I'm able to find a quite good one, live in the European Union, so it's kind a stabil according to law, security, order, etc...

Belongingness and Love needs: have quite good relationship with my family, some friction with my fater but nothing serious. Work group is quite interesting, have a 15-20 minute chat with my boss, and I said that:"I came here to work, not to make really close relations", and he said that, he thank the same at my age, and this is not a good idea, and I have to admit that. I willing to work on my relationship with my colleagues. And last but not least relationships from the last times: 0. So it's clear where can this category improved.

Esteem needs: it's a hard question, it's an upper category in this piramid, but sometime I feel that, it lookes more important, it can affect the life so much, as I see. It's something like that, if your reputation or status is not igh enough, you can't get the girl you want, but it's a bullshit... It's something like that, the online poker is a fraud or not. You just find an unrelevant thing to blame because of your problems. Of course it affect the outcome, but if you're a really bad player, the site can cheat to you, but you won't make a penny, maybe the same is right for getting the girl you want, you can have a good status in community, but if you're a complete disaster in other things, you wont succeed... Not sure if this thougt make any sense, but it looks a good simile, if you have anything to add, please comment!

Self-actualization: I feel that, I'm not even close to think about this category...

In summary:
- Thanks Mar, you're totally right, and I have to courage myself to play better, and have to improve my poker game, and every aspect of my life.
- Mashlow piramid: may it seems a bit off, but it can be a good route to improve myself to achieve anything close to self fullfilment. Have to strenghten the 3 ground category, to think about any higher thing.

Hi Guys!

This week I've got a decision, I want to keep open my options next year, so I will continue to play poker and start to learn more, and become a better player, and make SN next months (need 25k points), but didn't have too much time to play, only 3 playing days so far, and less than 1k VPP, so it's not going too well in quantity, but see the "quality" (I know it has nothing to do woth quality, but it sounds good):
- I run like God on 1/2 : aprx 10 BB/100
- And also on 2/4 : aprx 9 BB/100

So I'm running like a God, so nothing can stop me, oh wait:
3/6: -16 BB/100 ♠_cry:

I made this week quite okay in BB, and just throw avay twice as much as my monthly salary, mindfuck... So this project going really good, nothing to complain about.

Let's see, how other things are going:
- University: I fucked up a test, and it's all my fault, didn't learned enough, and missed another class, that would be important, but fortunatly didn't failed any credits so far (it was close, tho), hope it will stay this way until this semester ends. So this "project" is something like a minimum pass.

- Job: quite good, but have to do a lot of mindless things, that maybe good for something, but it looks like waste of time to me, but how thing's going in a mutinational company. People work a lot, I mean, most of my colleauges have 30-40 over hours, they get paid for it, but that's a lot, I'm not going to work for a company that much, you won't have time for anything else, I wanna work 10-12 hours a day 7 days, but just for mysfelf, in my own businness, not for a multi co. Ofc it's easier to work for a big company, you do your work, you can get promoted, but I can't imagine it worth all the work that you take in it. Your work will only be seen in the yearly company profit, and you can say that, you take your very little part in it.

- Any but no job, or university or poker: have really low energy because of the work, uni, poker, so didn't have enough time to meet with friends, besides some "must attand" program, I didn't met my friends, or have a date or anything, so that have to be changed. And have to start a diet, and some sports, it's a must, will lose some weight, and I have to improve my communication skills, I'm not that chatty guy, but I should improve that way too, I'm too direct in this, and have to lear a better body language too, and I must start to open up to unknown people, cause that's a really big weekness for me. And I have a phsychology class, and there I made a personality test, and it showed that, I didn't express my feelings any way to anyone, and that's totally true. And that's because I'm afraid of showing of my feelings or let anybody close to me, or chat with an unknown people. And these problems (not showing my emotions) is a great weekness, or more likely a defensive thing, because of my past experience with my "friends". So there are a lot of weeknesses, but it's so much better if we call this potentials, so these are the things, that I have to and easily can improve to reach any of my long term goals. (No, it's not easy... :f_frown:)

So, in a few words, that's what was in my mind all week, if you have any comments, please write down, or find me on skype etc...

Thanks for reading!

..And turned out, that this recr. player was a huge maniac, and played really really bad, bluffed anything, overbetting every hand..

Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J.
MP2 raises, 4 folds, Hero calls.

Hi Balu!

Sorry for my bad english, but i have a question.
Against this player, wouldn't be better to change to exploitative mode, and 3bet this preflop?
I used to 3bet in the BB against any player who doesn't think about my ranges too much.

Hi,
yeah, that 3 bet would be better, but wouldn't 3 bet lighter than normal against an MP raiser (ofc this JJ should be a 3 bet against every pos. or), would defend the BB wide, and would only push my top hands postflop, and willing to go showdown a lot, that's my std play against mindless maniacs.

Hi guys,
this post will not be an usual post, and not because I'm going to write you anythin new, this is because I'm drunk.... Maybe I should take all my writing in a spoiler, may I will, but don't think that too many people would mind reading it.

So first of all, I did not opened the pokerstars client today, and not willling to play any "drunk poker" any time, so this not goint to be a brag post about drunk winning, or lost because of drunk whining..

So, it's going that way, tonight I stay in Hatvan (where I work), and went to a pub, drink some beer and shots, it was the "say goodbye party" for a colleagau (no idea how to write that word, pls tell in comment), it was really cheap, not only internationally, but like this country, so it was so much fun, we get to kow each other a bit better, and that felt me good one of the colleagues "missread" me, and I'm not that awful guy... So at least it's okay, I heared that the new internship guy is an "Adonis", so fuck you, but never mind, I will be the next one in my next workplace...

And here wo go about work place, and tastk... It's awful, cant say anything good with it, but could say a lot of bad things... Maybe it's not enought to give an employee a more than full time task, you need to take over what he is thinking about, cause a tinhinkg employee will be unsatisfyd, but if you can keep busy everybody, and everybody's mind, you're in a winning position, and you do fine, but my boss didn't do that, I got a lot more mindless job than I shuold, at least I think. I'm not saying taht a trainee shouldn't do any printing or documentation things, yes he should, but not in all her time. I need something to think of, not only the actual mindless thing, that don't even have improvements in the process.... So to summarize, I'm not satisfied what I do, and I'm not willing to work more the minimum I accepted, but have an option to extend the contract, but if I feel that I'm not improving with my task, I will contact my groupleader, or the HRL what to do, I'm sure, that a lot of people would be happy with me, I think I'M hardworkink, and do my task at 100%, and sure that will no problem finding a new job, if is want to, but if they don't appreiate, or use my talens or work ethic in my full potential, it's their fault, and will loose me.... Maybe I'm lot more egocentric than I should, but now I dont care...

Daily music:

It's worth lestening to it, one of my favorites, if you have the sam issues, plese write a commment, how you cope whit this things! And any of you get to this point, thanks for reading!

Hello Guys,
I red a lot about random things from my life, and did write only a bit of poker. So, I'm 22,7k VPP away from SN, and I want to make this VIP level this year.
And I'm making a small challange for it, I have, 26 days to complete this goal!
It's because there will be the monthly millions on 16th of november, and that means a bit of a plus RB this year, and I will have to start studing to university, and write my thesis... Will write daily VPP counts, and maybe will take in some graphs, I'm just breaking even in this games, worked a lot on my ranges, but I need a lot of work before I could crush 5/T limit, that looks really hard, and as Madi said, 2/4 is like micro, 3/6 is challanging, 5/10 is hard (or something like that ♦ )

To reach this goal, I have to play a tons of hands, aprx 3 hours daily, there will be days where I cannot complete this goal, but in avarage I will make it. There will be +2 free days, cause national holidays, so will have a tons of time.

Day before yesterday I found Schnitzelfish and Erik Stenqwist 7 days productivity boot camp, and singed in, and I got the first letter, and I'm going to do this in this week, and hope it will help me to make a good system in my life.
The first days task, is to write down what i do all day long, maybe it's the best day to start, or a weekend would be more better, when I have no compulsory tasks, but today is also okay. Will make a copy to this blog about my whole day, and progress about the productivity boot camp.

And I get back to weekly goal setting, so here we go:
- reach 85k VPP
- work on the productivity boot camp
- start to read my thesis
- study to the test
- clean my room
- daily workouts, and the first I will start NOW!

Today's music:

See you, thanks for reading!
And special thanks to Zsocci for the couraging words in PM!

Hello,
a short update about my week:
- I failed the test, because I didn't learned enough, so its a pitty, but not a big deal fortunatly
- last night I was at a friend gathering, and get home late, but I think hade enough sleep, so I'm filled with energy. Made a really good meal for dinner, so it was cool.

Today is a national holiday in Hungary, the revolutin of 1956 against the Sovjet Regime, and this year is a really interesting in the hungarian and the world history, and let me please remember our godfathers with this picture:

The Time magazine choose the hungarian freedom fighter to the Man of the year.

So I didn't have to go to work, so it could become a really good day, and in some aspects, it was. But not in poker... I have to be a really bad player, I cannot win in this shitty competition, it was a quite BE month as always (not bad from a bad player), and then the last 2 days was -250 BB, so, as always, I suck at poker. And really not sure where I loose all that money, I strengtend my preflop play, and think a lot on other sports, but I cannot win, maybe because I really suck at this game, and I'm the biggest reg fish that can be found at the tables, or just unlucky, but for that long, I dont think so...

A graph from this year:

The last -250 BBs is yesterday and todays play... And I think, I played good, not my best play, but in the first 10 %, maybe that's the all I can, and shouldn't take much time into it.

I'm making the productivity boot camp, and this going quite well, I have to make that, so the first few steps was I deleted all the video games from my computer, and cut down the mindless surfing on the web, but far away from the perfect. And in the afternoon, a few hours ago, I was so motivated, to make the SN, and make everything cool in my life too, and now, I'm down, and just don't think that I can reach any of my big goals, I really dont have any self confident in anyting, and I have to work on that...

I can say, one of my favourite songs from Marina and the Diamonds is "Oh no", and she sing this sentence: "Cause I feel like I'm the worst So I always act like I'm the best", and this sentence is somewhat right for my life, I think that, I'm a good and valuable workforce, so I'm not worring about won't have a job, if I want, but maybe that's overconfident, and in other aspects of life I have underconfident, so I have to balance this things... Oh, ballance, you can use a lot of things that you learn from poker, to make your life better, if you think about what we call ballance in poker, that can be used in situations where you "play" agains other people, how much and what information you share, how you build your IRL ranges, and maybe this could be used to pick up girls, or maybe this is just my nerdy thinking that hase no meaning... ♦

For a moment, I have found a lot of thing about this toppic, it's weird, that there are a lot of websites that write about pick up artists (who pick up any girl) and it's impressing, and can found a lot of useful things in these sites, but it's kind a said, so big industry build on this topic, but I'm the living example for who tey wanna sell their products... ♦

So, about this week, it's not going too bad reaching my goals, I'm at 79,5 k VPP yearly, I will reach 85k this weekend, so don't be so said, that you 2/4-3/6 regs loose me from the tables

Daily music (what else could be):

Hey Baluuu.

I played you a lot more recently and you're better than you think (cause yeah I hate playing decent regs ♦), but, just to give you a hint, work on your turn play ;).

Hello guys, if anyone reading it! ♦

Tis week is really crazy, I hit a bit of downswing, you can read about that in the last post, but today was just really sick!

The day started as the last weeks all sessions, I tried to play good, and I think I managed it, but just lost, and lost... This was in the morning session, and in the eraly afternoon, s oI decided to go for a big walk, just walked to the Donau, and to the Parlament and Margaret Insel, about 9-10 km walk, just take a bit less than 2 hours, and it was really refreshing. I love to walk anywhere...

And I got home, eat something, and started to grind again, cause I have to reach my VPP goals, and I hit my todays goal, 2k VPP reached, first time in my life, it take 6,5 hours of play, so it's kinda good, and I made a big big win, today swinged about 40 BB down, then 160 BB UUUUPPPPPP, so it's sick, my best day in VPP's, in hand number, in $$$$$$, and my productivity is getting better and better.

I'm working on my productivity with the tools that Erik & Primoz send me, and I have to say, it's not easy, but I write down everything to my notebook, and I have everything what I miss, and have to work on.

First of all, I write down everything I do, and then I tried to sort aout every disctraction, that keep me away from doing anything productive. I uninstaled every computer game from my computer, especially League of Legends, that take the most time, I wouldn't minde if I play some with that game, but it's not easy when all of your friends play that all day long, so this was the only way to keep myself away from that, and it works. Then I downloaded the Stay focus app to chrome, and set sites, that I can watch daily only 30 minutes sum, and if I reach that limit, this little app nukes the internet, and shut down every page for an hour, so I really don't want to mess with that. ♦ I use it during my sessions, to get really focused on the game, and mute my phone, and shut down skype also. This easy technike, helped me to improve my productivity with a lot, but I'm far away, where I should be.

The next step was, I made my morning and evening routine:

My morning routine: I get out of the bed without knocking down twice or 3 times the alarm clock, I use 2 phones, 1 is besides me, and another in the other side of the room, then I make a tea, and make a 20 minutes workout, shower, and dress up, and do my thing (go to work, or make the important things I wrote down earlier).

My evening routine: find the clothes for next day, set the 2 alarms, make a plan to the next day's 3 most important tasks.

And as I said, I made every evening a list for tomorrow, what contains the most important things to do, today was to plan when and what to learn for university (DONE), early morning workout (DONE, it's in my morning routine, but it's not as easy for me, so first I will write this to important task in the first few weeks), reach 1500 VPP (DONE).

And today's task from the productivity coaches was, to becoma my own coach, and write down everything I do good, and bad, so made a plan, what have to be imrpoved, and I will write down my days for a week, to see how good or bad I make this things.

In this year, I want to get used to this system, and want to work hard on my productivity, and when I feel comfortable with doing this, I want to make it even more better. In the first time, I wouldn't make the hardest things in the list, cause I think, I would fail with that, I try to set modest but reachable goald for the first time, then I can jump into some more serious thing... (and this is a very big improvement in my life)

Thank you Erik & Primoz to sending this easy but useful technikes!

With this improved productivity, I will reach SN before the Quarterly Million, and will move on with the university things, and it's really cool, but then, if the semester is over, I will have so much more time to work on myself, to improve my personality! So look out fellow FL grinders, I'm here, and not sure how much will I play beside reaching SN this year, not much because of the university, but I will working on my games a lot, and will crush these limits (even better :P) ! ♦

Hey Baluuu.

I played you a lot more recently and you're better than you think (cause yeah I hate playing decent regs grin ), but, just to give you a hint, work on your turn play wink .

Thanks Mar, yeah I lost on the turn a lot of times, but before I turn to my turn plays, I hove a lot of other and easier things to improve on my game, first of all, I will work on my 3 way pre ranges, I saw that I lost a lot on 3 handed games, and then want to make my flop plays more balanced, and then can I try to improve my turn play. It's a long road, but now unfortunatly not this is my main priority. I can work on my play only a few hours, and a study partner would be great (Zsocci ha a hétfő reggelek jók neked, keress skypon! ♦), so please if anyone interested, send me a PM or a post!

This not going to be a long post... Today was a complete suck out, I played a lot, and hit my worts day... In the afternoon, I got on tilt, and quit after a few hands, then I calm down, and played almost all day long 4-6 table, an suck out again and again...

I hit 85k VPP, so that's cool but this fucking downswing, or fishy play must be end, cause this year is a disaster so far... Without RB i wouldnt earn any money, and that sucks.

Here is a graph from the last 2 days, sick good tables, sick swing for me, but I think, I have to get used to this:

Review from the this weeks goals:
- reach 85k VPP (85057,65)
- work on the productivity boot camp (done)
- start to read my thesis (nope)
- study to the test (failed that one)
- clean my room (nope)
- daily workouts, and the first I will start NOW! smile (7/4)

So it went quite good, as I write about, I'm making this productivity tools, but today I just fall a bit behind, so I have to push myself harder to make everything is set to me.

Next weeks goals:
- reach 92,5 k VPP
- 3 hours of improving my game
- start to plan weekly (DONE) , and monthly according to Schnitzelfish videos
- catch up with the university tasks
- celan the room, and fix everything that need it
- start to write my thesis

So, this is for this week, it's noit goin too good, but I will reach SN in november, and after I will make every class in university, and have to think about my next semester, what I will do, we will see.

Hello Guys,

today morning we had a chat with Zs, and talked about some hands and concepts, and I think we made a bit of a progress, not a game changing progress, but we made some improvement in our games.

But my poker results make me think, that I shouldn't spen too much about this whole thing. This month just lost about 300 BB's, and this goas all year long, some small ups, and big downs. Not sure what's so bad about my game, maybe it's all just really shitty, and the other regs laugh at me strugling to make some success in this, but as I saw some of the regulars at these limits, can't imagine why and how they reach that sick results they have with their really poor plays...

My weekest point in the game, maybe a kind a low aggression is some spots, and maybe I'M falling behind in 3 handed games too, and I suck at 5 handed games, and breaking even in 6 handed, have no idea how thats really huge difference come from, and these are not a big sample, but fair enough to saw, that something wrong with my 5 handed play, but not sure what. Besides the preflop tightness (looseness) didn't play differently, and from this poin of view, I can have bigger leaks with tighter ranges situation, than I have in looser situations. Just started to take a look at my statistics on HM2, a bit more detailed than I used to, and try to find some really big leaks from it. I thinking about to ask Leader to analyze my game, if I won't be able to find my biggest leakse and improve that, I have to buy some coachings, not sure how to continue this process, but today I hit my 3 hours of poekr theory goal, at least...

The productivity is going quite good I think, today missed 1 of my important task, just managed to make half of it, but it's a good improvement, cause I postpone it about 3-4 weeks...

And Plague said, my posts are too long, so I shut up now! ♦

GL HF!

Oh, almost forgot it, daily music:

This is awesome! Keep rocking it

hey man.. looks good so far with your mindset and life. graph sucks a bit though but im sure you will turn it around

@Schnitzelfish: your productivity stuff is rocks, and the blogs you suggested help a lot too. A lot of work needed in the future, and I have to say, this change is not an easy one, I missed 1 of my morning routine due to hangover, but I can stick to it, and have some problems with starting to be productive after a long working day, and I don't want to push so hard on those days, so I usually just plan to do short and interesting stuffs, like reading and write notes about a blog post, or make 2-3 range analysis, but I think, the next week will the hardest to manage everything, after that this change will be okay, and the morning excersices will show the positive effect on my life, and that will bring this whole change! Thank you for this great stuf, and the comment!

@Ava: thanks man, I know that a lot of hard work is the way to the midstakes, and I'm really motivated to do this! And your comments helps a lot!
