Thank you all for responding! I was quiet for few days, needed to think it through and make best decision. It says: I am starting from the bottom again!

@tonypmm: I'll try to eliminate ego, it slows me sometimes even in music and it is hard thing to fight. You are right, it clouds my mind and slows my improvement. Again, I agree with you about micros as platform for learning and moving on. I don't wanna forever be here and grinding cents.
Thank you!

@holmeboy: about video... No problem, just say do you want video with my comments or with audio off? My english is not the best, but I can record it with though process.. Thank you very much, your help is very appreciated!

@tadcka: yeah I talked about NL10 too much, that is not my goal, seriously. I also agree about watching videos and reading books with pretending that I am studying the game, I had that feel a lot of times, it is sometimes I "must do" and then I watch video with my thoughts about food, sport, music, etc...
I'll definitely post some hands with my though process and try to find good micro/small stakes group. I was and I am in few groups but with time everybody lost their motivation, so that groups are now groups about life, girls, sports etc...
Thank you for motivating me, I really love this game. I'll check your blog

@ ilioas: I am amazed too! Never had such quality response in any poker community!

So all after all:

I am starting on Pokerstars with 36$. Format is 6max rush poker as usual. I was thinking about normal tables, but to be honest it really bothers me when I have to wait, search through milliion of nit tables, playing with 30c shortstackers etc and rush is still very,very soft on this limits.

Wish me luck, comment, ask, feel free to do anything :)

Your thought process would help. But if you're not confident speaking then maybe just send me comments like:

"15:24 called 3b and donked flop because...."

About spots you found interesting/difficult.

Good luck with your new challenge!

Short update.

A lot of things happened in last few days, so I am on hold with poker.
I have abrupt obligations on my college next week, so I decided, as precaution to send my bankroll to my friend, so there is no chance I can play this week.

I've managed to play few thousand hands , won 5BI.
I will record video, don't know date yet, but for sure it will not be in next 10 days. After that I will post 5 hands that I couldn't solve myself and bring some opinions about NL2 (Hm I wonder how is that gonna look?:) )

Once more, my apologies for not being regular with updates, but so much is going on right now in real life that I had to drop poker for few weeks to do things right.

Yep, I am alive. If there was anyone asking himself: "where the fu*k that guy dissapeared?", here I am.

I had to sort things in my life and I did.

Last month I've graduated with A on my college( Economics). Instantly 2 more years for economic specialists are signed, so I am gonna be a student for at least two more years:) I am more happy than not about that. It is expensive, I'll be 27/28 while my college days are over, but hey, to hell with that, I am gonna do it right way.

I've sorted stuff in personal life and now I am living happily in love :f_love:

Had few music gigs with Big Band and my old band We Come One ( first gig after 3 years) and it was awesome. Too bad this summer in Croatia is very cloudy, rainy, not really hot... There were no more than 4/5 days in a row without raining, a lot of floods and weather problems.

If that wasn't case, it would be even better summer, but it is already time to prepare for Christmas I guess...

Poker related- I didn't play for almost 50 days or something like that.
I had to cool my head about poker, finish school, deal with problems in real life and than decide what to do. I am gonna play something between recreationaly and ...recreationaly :) When there is enough free time, I'll play few hours very seriously, when not...well, I am not gonna force it.

I have 8h/day job on radio now, have to play trumpet and I am not gonna frustrate about poker. NL2 is point where I am starting again, already played few thousand hands in last few days, even played normal tables after 500-600 days...on the one side, it is wierd and slow, on the other, edges are bigger and there are a lot more fishes.

That is all for now, I hope you will continue to follow me, also that results will come.
