Confidant91 [2015]

Thanks for you visit. I was wondering who will be the fisrt guy from cz/sk who discovers my blog ♦

I have been playing nl25 for about 4 or 5 month cause my volume really sucks and thats probably one of my biggest issues that stops me from moving up and playing proffesionaly.

I play mostly just 2 tables zoom when i am working on my game, so like 80% of volume is 2 tabling. But when i feel great and i want to just grind a play 3 tables. Hopefully i will get beter and during summer i will be 4 tabling since i still plan to get supernova this year.

Good luck at nl50 fish

Thanks.

Btw guys question for everyone who reads my blog:

Do you have any kind of vision where you want to be in 10 or 20 years? What do you want to do with your life?

I thinks that it important for some goal setting and since i have no idea, my motivation for doing anything is pretty low I procrastinate a lot because of this and still i dont know an answer.

The only solution for this that works at least a bit is that i can say where i want to be in year or two, but anything more longterm is complete mystery for me.

March

:diamond:It was a month of procrastinating and postponing things that need to be done pretty soon. I was feeling burned out, which i still do, but there is no time to just give up for few days before semestr is over and my bachelor degree is done.

Right now i focus mainly on my energy levels. What is really helpfull is taking cold shovers, which are awesome wake up and somehow they make me happier. Also i do almost everyday some quick work out for core strenght.

:spade:Pokerwise it was a good moth, i have played one live tourney and eventhough i didnt make it to the second day i really enjoyed it and in the future i would like to play some tourneys more regularly.

I have been playing nl50 zoom for almost whole month but as you would see on a graph i still suck a lot with volume.

graph: 10% nl25 rest on nl50

goals from last week:

Spoiler volume: 15hours...only 5
:club:prepare new game plan and do a review that coach has suggested... 50% done gonna complete it this week

time log ( i am gonna wirte down everything that i am doing so in future i would know where i am loosing time and what disrupts me)...failed, have lost track during the first day and after that i have gave up
keep taking cold shover..i love it!!!
triffecta exercise every morning if i dont do other workout. ..i love it!!!

Dont switch on the PC as the first thing in the morning. I have started reading book( mental game of poker 2 ratm) while eating breakfest...eventhough i do like it i just did it 2/7, gonna try it again

goals for this moth:

Get a platinum status on pokerstars or 60 hours ♠_evil:

Thats the only goal for this moth, since i just simply need to boost my volume. I would be also working on my work ethic since i am a whale at that.

I would add some more goals on weekly basis.

GL and have fun at the tables guys!

Random update:

I am on a downswing atm, which means i got to stop shoting nl50 eventhough roll is still healthy. Major problem is that my game is influenced by that so i am gonna work on my mindset.

Have finished my first hour hour coaching package with w34z3l. I would like to say thanks to him, since he is really good techaer so if you are considering any coach atm, he is a perfect suits for nl25-100 players for that prize. I would probably take few more hours from him when my roll is safe ofr nl50.

I have joined new study group which is kinda friendly and is full of good regs, which makes me much more motivated to work on myself

RL is good atm. My work ethic improves a lot. Morning routine with cold shover is nuts guys! Usually i wake up, do some quick work out, than cold shover. During a breakfast i schedule my whole day on google calendar which is synchronized with my mobile phone so i am getting reminders all day long. Also i am using pomodoro, which is always very usefull.

goals for this week:

catch up school ( i am still behind like 2 or 3 weeks with homeworks ♦)
1+ hours work on my game everyday
mindfullness excercise before a sessions
continue improving work ethic

I havent been playing much last week, still on a downswing and had some problems with laptop. However now it seems fine after reinstalling everything, so i am prepared to start grinding again. I would start up on nl25 for this week and if my game is ok, i would switch back to nl50 during the weekend.

Tomorrow i got to take massive action and make almost whole project for a school, which should take like 14hours maybe even more. So i would start grinding again on tuesday or wednesday, depends if i go out on tuesday.

I have started reading Matthew Janda´s applications of NLHE which seems pretty good atm, so i hpe that it would improve my theoretic background and i would crush nl50 regs pretty hard.

Now i am working on my blind defense, so i hope to get better redline as well. We will see how it goes for the rest of the month.

Restart of the blog!

2014 was quite a strange year, lots of failures, but also quite successful...

real life

Biggest success was getting my bachelor degree wich means that only one year and half of studies is in front of me. Hovewer that puts me under the pressure. Since i dont want to start working as an engineer after finishing my uni degree, because directly after school i can expect sallary only about 1k $, i have to make another plan.

Sofar my plan is to go poker pro at least for fisrt year or two after uni to be able to travel and enjoy my life till i am young . Also i would like to make enough money to start my dream job.... no i am not going to reveal it at the moment

Social life was quite like a roller coaster ♦. I had probably the best summer ever though i havent been traveling at all or gliding all the summer. Also i wasnt playing poker thats probably the reason why i had so much time for parties and hanging out with my friends and girls :banana:.
On the other hand end of the year was as i am used to, overhelmed by uni and back at poker tables means that i am again almost out of social life which makes me quite depresed. Thats probably the biggest thing atm that needs to be solved. I need to cut down some work because i am pretty
distracted and i see almost zero progress in my life. I have to make a list of priorities during january and realize what is really important for me.

poker life

Poker life is the disapoiment of the year for me. I was out of poker for 4 month while i was finishing my bachelor degree and since my erasmus in Glasgow failed after three weeks i lost quite a lot of money from my bankroll. So i am pretty much in the same situation as i was at the beginning of the year. I am still unable to shot nl50sh. It is true that my game has still some leaks, but to be honest i dont think that i am worse player than other nl50 regs on rush. Hopefully it is only bad run and with some improvements i will be grinding higher limits soon ♦.

I am quite sure that 2015 would be way better year than 2014, because there will be some other changes that would allow me climb higher faster Cant wait for that, i hope that i dont jinks it

nl25 so far

and nl50 not a bragging graph

Spoiler about 20 BI down

Btw if somebody knows any good videos about blinds defense, please pm me even if they are not from psgy. Thx.

Lets get ready for 2015! GL at the tables and crush the real life!

What a great day...went to dormitory office in the morning if they can relocate me to another room and i finally got a single room, which means that from next friday i will have again a room only for myself :f_love:. What is great is that it is way cheaper than living in a flat so more money stays in my bankroll
Also i would try to cut down some other expenses because it is quite possbile that i leak some money in real life

This month i am not going to focus mainly on poker because i have exams at school so there will be no volume goals for this month.

goals for this month:

finish school exams: 5 to go plus a project
:diamond:month without drinking coke
finish preflop ranges, already almost done and hopefully i will lower my ft3bet, 4bet
during session review focus on 3bet and 4bet spots
:spade:check results onl\ once a week- Sunday evening
workout at least 3times a week

following! hope youll keep updating this time tho ♦

Haha, i will do my best

on the turn we dont have to protect our hand and since he is probably agro fish it is good to check here. He is going to bet his value hands and draws himself, plus he can make some random agro bluffs. Versus some lower sizing i would c/minraise usually but when he bombs the turn they usually bet big even the river so i let him bet his whole range.

He had A♥:K♣:
