I can´t play 2 tables right now... I can´t concetrate, I´m doing lot of mistakes, so I can´t increase my volume. I do mind, because it feels like wasting my time ![]()
I hope it will get better.
Btw. strict muscle-up on bar = completed
I´m not playing well, I will start studying even more
and my computer is crashing down, so it is very risky to play.
I´m going to buy new computer. Then I´m going to start play properly.
I also bought Kindle paperwhite the new version. It is so great ![]()
Do you have any tips for great books?
Okay I started December as "drill". I´m going to play every day, just to get to use to it. And from January I´m going to play and do every other work 6 days a week and one day off. I´m sorry I don´t write on this forum so often, but I´m busy 17 hours per day. And to poker I give only like 2 - 3 hours on average. I reduced Facebook, Youtube etc to only 45 minutes per day (30 minutes is goal). Nowadays my 2 biggest time wasters are school and commuting. I don´t count in sleep, because it is necessary.
See you
Well, nothing goes way I would like too. I´m playing terribly, lost all of my confidence. I hope it is only downswing, but I will have to revise my whole game. I wanted to get into mid stakes, but it is not going to happen for a while.
And also my heart is finally broken. I haven´t known that feeling untill now. And it sucks, because I know that I screwed up. I don´t want to act like a jerk to girls anymore. It actually helps you to get laid not being a nice guy, but I´ve might lost the one because of being a jerk to her. Because she is very intelligent. I will have to get over it. But for now I´m so pissed, because it is my fault!
Another problem which appeared is that I started showing other people that I think I´m superior than them. Because my entertainment isn´t getting smashed on Friday and Saturday and even for someone applies every day in the week. I don´t want to be pretentious, it is their life and maybe they will realize or won´t, but I haven´t achieved anything yet and when I will, I should stay humble.
Also I haven´t been drinking for almost half of the year. I started thinking about becoming abstainer, because I could concetrate on my work more and I learnt how to have fun on a party without drugs.
I´ve got Kinde paperwhite 2nd generation and it is just amazing.
I guess I could use this blog more as a mind clearing.
See you!
Hello, I´m not going to post my New year´s resolutions, but tommorrow I´m going to write here, what I want to change and how
But definitely I have to start using this blog more, because I think it is great thing to keep track.
2013 was my best year and I think 2014 is going to be even better.
Wish you best!
Last night was hardcore. Don´t eat too much magic cookies like me ♦
I must admit I have lack of discipline. The thing is I´ve got only few hours per day of free time and I am not able to play whole month. I usually last 10 days in row and then I start skipping and start making excuses.
I want to change my schedule, that I should be playing 6 days per week, 2 hours per day, maybe more during the weekends. It will last me for next 5 months, after my exams in May I´ve got quite plans as pokerplayer.
I will be posting graph every Sunday.
Week 1:
I was still enjoying Christmas holidays. One thing is clear, I have to get rid of the school as soon as possible. It gives me nothing and takes me lot of time.
But I was doing useful things. I went to gym, I did social networking, I read book I want to recommend to you. It is Influence: Psychology of Persuasion written by Robert Cialdini.

Week 2
I played only 4 days out of 7, because someone from close family has died. I had to help arrange funeral and do other necessary staff. And also that is a reason, why I haven´t posted for a week. Funeral will be on Wednesday and after that I will try fullly focus on poker.

Week 3
I´m so overwhelmed. The funeral was really exhausting. I´ve started hating my mind, I´m thinking too much. It is not only in poker, but mainly in life. I´m over analysing every situation, thinking before acting, thinking about others acts.
Another proof is this: http://www.mbti123.com/mental/en/
Guess what, I´m 19 and my mental age is according to this 41.
I know I have to keep everything simple, but I just can´t control myself and I´m putting too much energy and focus to thinking and analysing. Atleast it is very handy in social activities.
Poker related:
I´m still playing only 15´s, I wanted to move up, but my laziness didn´t let me. I´m going to change it!

Just tested myself - says I am like 33.
Hope that gives more EV to the game.
Week 4
Malykzaek: good for you
for example I don´t have many friends of my age, because I don´t get them.
ilioas: and how old are you? I think it is very useful If you don´t start leveling against other villains.
Well, time is only thing that I miss. I´ve got a new GF
I will write more about her when it will be public. It is because maybe of some of my friends read this blog secretly ![]()
But I´m very glad for her, I think she helps me to be more focused on game. I´ve run very hot this week, but I don´t care, because I´m 50 BIs under EV on 15´s. But definitely I´m finally going to play 30´s or atleast I will start playing two tables...

Today I voluntary went to donate blood and I have great feeling from that ![]()
The only problem is I´m bit tired right now. I also found out I can upgrade my HM2 small stakes only for 40 bucks, that is great.
Week 5
And I´m single once again
I´m not a guy for a relationship. But thanks to this one, I feel I grew up like 10 years... I realized so many important things.
And I found great articles about relationships, but unfortunately they are in czech language.
I started shoting 30´s. We will see, how it will go ![]()
Graph for week:

Graph for january:

I know that volume isn´t great, but I´m glad I was able to play after what happened.
The things I realized about girls: Everyone is special, but everyone is also replaceable. I should treat them in that way. It is one of the biggest problems that guys idealize their girlfriends and think that they will never find better. That means they lose self-confidence girls lose interest and start desiring for other guys who could replace him. Thus is main point, how to stay in long relationship. You can´t show girl, that you would do everything for her. To be the nice guy
Yes, there are exceptions, and I would love to find girl, who would love me that way. But they are not in my age. Another thing how to keep relationship alive is to have other girls who show interest about you. Because every girl is really jealous. There are many other points, I will write them later.
Week 6
This week was exhausting, I slept something like 7 hours over last 72 hours.
I can´t play last hands I would like... And I´m not going to play it with my C-game.

And I´m going to change my schedule... My weeks are going to be starting on Tuesday instead of Monday. I will have to complete number of hands I want to in 6 days and If I can do it, the monday will be my free day. If not, I will have to play on Monday aswell...

Somewhere below 30. You have to ask my wife for exact numbers. lol
btw - how am I supposed to read your graphs? They look nice overall. I do get when it shows tournaments and winnings. But when it somes to hands and chips that just does not make sense.
It is wierd that HM shows chips as $. That makes you instantly a pretty impressive crusher.
Week 7
I have to be honest with myself, I wasn´t in good mood for poker last week. I was mostly watching Olympics and was with my friends. I´m not angry or dissapointed. I don´t think this week should be somehow different. I´m not playing poker full-time, it is only my hobby for now.
I´m playing only one table...

Okay I will start posting different graphs.
Week 8
I´m sad the Olympics ended. Now I´m looking forward to Football World Championship... but mainly, I´m looking for my final exams in May / June.. I hate going to school and doing nothing useful. I also need to start writting more, because I think that keeping a blog is great. I think keeping track of progress is useful. The problem is I´m not great writter, I have lot of thoughts I would like to share with you, but when I start typing, I´m like brain-washed.
Maybe it is because I´m little bit paranoid and I don´t know, who is reading this blog and I don´t want to open up. I want to and I need to keep in secret, what I´m capable of.
So far I´ve read few books about social networking. I love social networking, because naturally I´m an extrovert. The first thing I started doing is to get in touch with old friends from childhood... And I love it, because I´ve already found 2 more friends, who are as ambitious as me. And these are people, who I want to socialize with.
Poker-wise... I have nothing much to say. I´m scared to play 30´s, because of lack of experience, but definitely I´m going to try it once more this week. It is cause by lack of traffic. Also my volume is appalling, but it isn´t my main priority till my final exams.

Stats for february:

This wasn´t a succesful month poker-wise. But in other aspects of life, I´m satisfied. I did comparative exams, it is necessary for almost every university in Czech Republic and without any preparation I did that well I can go to every university (except Medicine) in Czech Republic and Slovakia. I´ve got amazing girlfriend and I hope we will finally stay together. ![]()
Another amazing thing is that my weight is finally 190 lbs... I´m heading for 200 lbs now.
But I´m on strict warrior´s diet (20 hours of fasting, 4 hours of feasting) so gaining weight is really difficult. I´m doing it for scientific research. At first i thought I would give it up, because I really want to gain weight, but now I´m glad, because it improves my will so much. But when I will be 200 lbs I will finally feel like a grown-up man. Gaining over 50 lbs of muscles over 2.5 years is not bad. But It could be better, but I wasn´t working out legs first 18 months ![]()
For march my only goal is to play 400 tournaments or to move to 30´s.
Week 9
Nothing much to say. I´m going to a concert and I´m in hurry. I wanted to play today, but I don´t have time.
