Im just another idiot from northern Europe

I used to be typical backed breakeven mtt-horse searching for glory that I never found in Sunday Million, for almost two years. Then my backer dropped me (god bless him) and I started crushing 5-50€ tournaments.

Here is my graph for last 15 months:

Including 4 month break from poker when I was backpacking all around South East Asia.

Good day today, HEAAAAATTEERRR!

I played kind of longish session, clicking buttons for 11hours -> 7 final tables. Shipped 2 small field tourneys for 150€ and 150€ (good tourneys to smash the variance), couple runs for big score and one of them realized for 1800€ and golden trophy. Finally won tourney with bigger sized field (+400 entrants) so im pretty happy about that

Wanted to tell you something but now my brains just dont work anymore after watching cards on the screen for so long. Good night.

edit. picture doesnt work, too tired to mess with that, somebody tell me pls how to fix it and i will

Hey DroptheGame,

The reason your image won't display is because you need to be Bronze status to display images directly in your posts.

Why not consider a Free money offer. This will give you lifetime bronze status and you will be able to also send friend requests and private messages.

Here's a freebie though.

Happy Fishing

Hey Laz.

Thanks for offer but I already had one old account. It has same name as my sn in my grinding sites and I wanted to stay anonymous in the fields. So I already had pokerstrategy free $50 maybe 4 years ago and it would be unethical to get one new and I guess it would be breaking your site rules.
Can I upgrade my account to bronze any other way?

Checked my yesterdays result from sharkscope.
68 games
+2200€

-------------------

Funny hand from yesterday, villan was bad and spewy. I tried to induce him on the flop and snap the shit of him if he goes allin, but didnt go as I planned. On the turn I still just dont believe him after that line.

This is from random lowstakes tourney. IMO player 4 has very likely 4x or worse in this spot. Im not chopping pots with u buddy. Sometimes he even folds the best hand.

Woke up today at 3pm local time. Made already my pre session work out on the gym. Time to get some food and hit the tables now. Gl all at the tables
Hoping that today will be as good as yesterday!

Hey DroptheGame,

There are two alternatives.

1) Sign up for one of our partner rooms. This will give you the 1 SP needed to be lifetime bronze.

2) Alternatively you can buy a points package. At the completion of your subscription, you would revert to bronze as well.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Laz

Sometimes variance in tournament poker is just absurd. I've been playing this format for about 4 years now and I still get confused how badly I really now the variance in this game. Today it showed the positive side of that. My game was little bit meh today. Never got my brains working on my A-game but still shipped 2 tourneys for 600€ and 2800€. That rungood feels just sooo good when you have been smashing your head in to screen for couple of months. Just what I needed.

8 hours grinding today which included maybe 40-50 tourneys and some solid profit, couldn't be better way to start the weekend. So happy!!! I'll be back after 15th of July to set some long term goals and keep on grinding, until that I hope u the best of luck at the tables!

Nice work indeed !!!! ♠_cool:

hellooooooo

Finally back home and I've been grinding hard... for two days ♦
with very good results! Yesterday shipped 2 tourneys for 1200€ and 300€ and today won ~2000€. I feel like my game is in very very good shape. Making the good decisions step by step. Obviously I've ran ridiculously good also

This is from todays tourney which I won. Villain was pretty good regular.
I had been playing LAG, horsing around. This is not something what I do very often but this spot was so juicy to turn my hand into bluff and villain was good enough to fold almost his entire range. (nobody makes this kind of c-r allin riverbluffs, always value) He left 100k behind him and tank-folded.

I will visit now on weekend my friends from another town, no poker. Just enjoying the great summer weather while I still can! Should be fun, life is good!

Sunday bloody Sunday.
I'm back on the grind and literally sweating my ass off. Outside is so warm atm that it must be +30c degrees inside when i'm grinding. Although I need some €€€ and cant be on vacation forever so now its time to grind.

Starting from 27.7-31.8. i'm going to grind
[ ] 750 tournaments
[ ] work out & meditate before every session
[ ] play at least 3-4 times in a week
[ ] maintain my avg buy in around 20-30€
[ ] keep my game in good shape reviewing videos and making my own
[ ] EAT HEALTHY & CUT OFF ALCOHOL TO MINIMUM
[ ] play your best game and don't worry, money will come

Already started today but couldn't get any deep runs, better luck next time I guess. GL GL

well hello boys and girls

everyday is the grinding day for me. Right now im very motivated to put large amount of effort and grind but results are f horrible. every day i got deep in the tournament that i could just look my monitor with this face:

but its okay, because i ran so hot earlier so this was kind of coming.

well just have to keep on playing my a-game as usual. lots of hours, heart and commitment! poker is still fun and as i said im very very motivated, so motivated that i will win at least 15k€ in next 3 months. variance is obviously huge in mtt's in such a short period but im pretty sure that with good game selection im going to make it.

grinding without music is BORING so im gonna share my latest mixes that i've been listening to when grinding:

enjoy!

Sup pokerstrategy! its time for monthly review. I have to say it wasnt the easiest month but very happy how it ended. I got multiple deep runs in 50-100€ tournaments but couldn't close them. Always spewed or did something else stupid... finally last week i won 55$ for 4,8k$ and today 50€ for 2600€. Played also today some random 10e tournament where was added UB Open Cannes package and stone cold bubbled it ♦ w/e livepoker sucks anyway.

[X] play your best game and don't worry, money will come

giraffe (missing my todays trophy so can add 2600€ to result):

glall on september grind with big tournament series

I think i'll pass almost entirely wcoop due to huge variance but im very exited for winamax series, gotta ship a new champagne bottle (flex)

Some goals for september:

[ ] Play 1000+ tournaments
[ ] improve your game and play well

I wont put any "Eating healthy, workout" etc. since it is quite standard everyday life now.

I've played couple sessions this month, losing littlebit. Also got some serious flu / influenza yesterday, which sucks. Hope i'll get better before WCOOP. I changed my mind and gonna take some shots and win a bracelet YOLO

So this month will be some hectic shit with all the tournament series. Therefore I booked one way ticket to Berlin 30.9. with my friend. Gonna blow up some steams there and maybe come back to the grind or maybe explore some cool cities like Amsterdam, Barcelona after that.

Life is good, remember to enjoy whatever u are doing! GL
