vonki - The return of the Queen

The Dawn of a new era

2014 was one of the toughest years of my life. Life gave me tons of ups and downs, on many levels. Friendships were lost, people moving on to the afterlife... I struggled alot with being away from my family and hometown. Heck, home country for that matter. Poker felt very mehh, I had lost all my passion for the game and I avioded playing for as much as I could. For the better part of the year, I struggled and just tried to hang on from one day to another, hoping that brighter times would follow. I felt defeated and did'nt really know what to do with my life.

But more importantly, especially the latter part of 2014 also brought light back into my life. I am super blessed to have amazing peers in my life, helping and supporting me through the toughest of times. The brighter times did come! And just like that, everything changed. Old friendships were rekindled, and new friends were made. Opportunitys arising and plans spinning forward. The passion and motivation for poker is back. Possibly stronger than ever. I know where I want to take my future, and I already made plans how to get there. I don't feel defeated, on the contrary I feel I am about to enter the high of my life! 2015 is lining up to be the best year in a while, and better yet if everything succeeds as planned, the years beyond hold even more promise!

For now, I can't and don't want to go too much into detail. But I am SO excited for 2015 and I hope you guys are too! I'll share some of my goals here, but not all. Perhaps at the end of the year, I will reveal some more.

Poker

Always play a minimum of 50.000 hands/month
Be a winning player at NL100 pre rakeback
Have a >$10.000 bankroll
Supernova on Pokerstars
Improve my productivity and mindset
Complete my NL2-NL50 side challenge
Get more involved in coaching & helping others

Other

Start investing in P2P lending as experiment
Find other assets & make an assets portfolio
Finally start going to the gym ( )

Nothing too complicated. 2015 is off to a good start, and every day I wake up with an excited feeling eager to get back to work (well ok, thats a lie.. the feeling comes after a cup or two of coffee, before that I feel pretty dead ) . Let's make this an amazing year!

xoxo

Now that's a great post, I really like how you didn't give up and felt motivated again to continue with poker. That's what separates losers from winners
How mister Rocky once said: "It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

Good luck with the goals, you seem to have a great mindset for it!

Hi, i am going to follow so gl with your goals!

I believe in you !
So make sure to not let me down !

Those are some interesting goals, let's hope they work out for you even more than you could wish for.
Nice to see you having fun with your poker again to, good on you!
I was going to try Supernova this year but a bankroll for nl10 can't carry the weight; sigh. Next time...:f_thumbsup:

Thanks a bunch, Mal! You still have every chance to go for supernova in 2015!!! I believe in you!

How stupid am I, forgot to post my January goals haha... getting too old for this

January

Play 50.000 hands
Shorter session, with max focus
Post at least 60 hands
Start my NL2-NL50 challenge (done)
Start a studygroup with other didecated players
Make an off table work-list

January is going to be a rather busy month, so volume will suffer a bit. But I also need to focus more on improving my game and making sure my game isnt suffering, like it did alot last month. Have to find a balance inbetween somewhere. If someone is interested in a studygroup let me know!

Great post about last year and new year plans! Sometimes one moment of inspiration is enough to make you motivated for a long time. Read that post every morning and make sure to stay on the right life path.

Good luck, I will follow your blog! ♠_biggrin:

If you can put up with me I'll join, but I'm only a losing nl10 with $400 bankroll and have no experience of these, so you may need to carry me for a short while.
It really is way over time I joined a group.

The Community tool is on the Home Page under the Free Money tab.

this blog goes wild

Oh yea ok thanks Mal.
EnjoyThis, i would but they are not quite easily understandable. I have to explain deep thinking behind them.
Otherwise, people would maybe see that yea there is some potential in them, but would not believe and understand hard enough to take action on them.
And im not gonna explain them here, to much writing, too complicated And yea it is actually 1 golden tip, but many deep views on them how and why exactly and only like this What every pro knows, but doesnt use in full potential

Awesome looking mousepad and very nice years goal post. Will have to take a mousepad pic and make a goals post for my own blog
