DAY 8&9 UPDATE
POKER
Didn't update yesterday so i will do it now. On Friday I finally get new net and it is working great. So finally won`t have any more problems with it or at least not so often. Only thing that I need to do next is to buy SSD to speed up my comp working rate. Yesterday I have session with my coach. We go through another filter and find a lot of leaks in my game and some of them are huge. So because of that I will need to lower grinding volume and fix those leaks first. Will do probably more or at least equal study and grinding hours. Now it was 2,5:1 in favor of the grind.
HEALTH
Workout goes fine. I am still in phase one of the program, because it last for one moths, before you move on. So 30 days of exercises with no day off. And I really don't need it, because workouts are only 30 - 40 min long. And I already lost 3kg (from 76 to 72). But not from those 9 days. I start 1st of December with some days when I didn't do exercises from program, but rather run outside. So will do basically 60 days of first phase before move to 2nd one. It can't hurt.
LIFE CHANGING
I bought 3rd and 4th part of GIUY book on my iphone. Yea I buy books there, because I will pay five times of a prize if I buy it through ET page. Only shipping will take 3 times of a book prize. It costs around $25 and with shipping I will need to pay around $100. That is why I decide to buy it like that, which costs me €10. And when I will go to one of ET gigs then I will buy those books in original form. I have intention to go in America in 2017, but lets focus on things that have closer date like this challenge.

Things that I done last 2 days:
- workout
- hand review
- buy last 2 parts of GIUY book
- play 63 games - SHOULD MUCH MORE

Things to do today:
- workout
- read one chapter of GIUY book 3rd part
- 10 deep hand reviews
- play 50 games

GL at tables!

Good luck at the doctor, I hope it isn't too serious and your girl is up and about very soon.

Thanks Mal. She will be ok. It is just a flu. I make her homemade ginger tea. It helps a lot. I drink it to. It is also good to drink it during grind because one of his benefits is to calm you down. And of course it is very healthy.

DAY 11 UPDATE
Another tough day. Make another big loos. That's why I need to drop one limit and go back to $3.5. My BR fall under $300. It is no point of pushing with those leaks on $7s. Will fix them and then get back stronger. Hope to get back that month. So 50 games per day will be enough for now. Will try to do more on Saturdays, when I have day off. But really need to fix those leaks before.

What I did yesterday?

What I will done today?

Glad to see you have the discipline to move back down and fix the leaks. I'm sure you'll make great progress and be ready to move back up soon, better, stronger and ready to crush!

^ That!
Quality of players who understand where they are at and how hard they need to work on their game + be very realistic about their expectations.
Contrary to that is Gus Hansen who donated millions online in 2014 thinking that he was good enough to play high stake CG when in fact he was donating to pure crushers.

Really look forward to 2015 for you Jernej. Tons of work to do and I know you can still make great profit but I am mostly looking forward to you improving significantly as a player (thinking process pre and post flop, exploiting opponents in any phase etc).

Thanks guys. This is something that I really need to do. Can't wait for February, when I will have all month off from work and will put a lot of hours in studying, analyzing, reviewing, etc. I decide to do around 2k games or slightly more, but improve my knowledge significantly. Looking forward to it.

DAY 12 UPDATE
Yea I can see clearly now. It is really nice to know what you need to do and how to do it to get to next level. So need keep doing it because right now it seems I am like bucket with holes in witch I wanna put water.

Today I also download sharkystrator to give it a try for a week. Really wanna see how it will work out with TN2. First set-up session was superb. No lags at all. So I hope it will be the same tomorrow, when I will go for real session. I really like TN2 because it stack my tables as I wanna. But it is very bad when it comes to registering. It register me on empty tables. Maybe is just that I don't know how to set it up differently, but it is not even close as good as Sharkystrator in that area. And in fact table selecting is where we are making money. So hope for good turn out. And of-course it is pretty cheap ($35 for 6 months for limits till $15).
So I am really looking forward to new investment.
2 investments already done for that year. Next investment will be in my comp.

INVESTMENT GOALS FOR THAT YEAR:
- buy SSD drive till May

What I done yesterday:
- workout
- make 3 deep hand reviews
- play 50 games 39 yesterday and 11 today
- read one chapter of GIUY book part 3

What I was done today:
- workout
- 3 deep hand reviews
- session with coach
Bad. No games today, because I need to go in Ljubljana to look for some cutlery for my mom. Ok. Need to go shopping and then to work. Se ya.

DAY 13 UPDATE
Lately my time management is not so good as it should be. I start to feel that laziness. Or to say start doing thinks that are not so important to avoid important things. Yesterday I was cooking when my girl could cook and I would have the time to grind more. It is not that she must cook, but she would do that so I will have more time for poker. She understand that. And I have real luck on that. I know. But yea. As I say I need to overcome that felling and push even harder, so I won't fail on my challenge and what is more important on my goals.
Also lately I didn't rest as I should. Try to sleep less to done more, but tiredness came across me. 5h per day is not enough. Even 6h of sleep per day is not something that will increase my productivity. So that is why I decide to sleep around 7h per day until March and see how it will work out. Good rest is essential for good productivity or in another words, to do more in less time. Also concentration at the tables will be much higher because of that and this also bring better decisions. So lets do that.
Another thing that I will bring into that challenge is time management. Everyday when came home from work, I will write specific time line for next day. No time wasted anymore!
So this will be it for now. Just update of things that I done yesterday and things that I will (am) done today

Great work man

Why do you grind so late, after 10pm? Is it because you have to or you like to do so?

It is because of my biological rhythm and because I have only one day off from my job per week (Saturday). So at Saturdays I stay awake same hours as I will from Sunday till Friday because of work. Also night hours have best traffic for poker. At 10pm are around 200k players registered in PokerStars lobby.

Good luck with supernova! I would like to go for mine aswell but im not sure how that will work out. Hoping for the best!

Hi gAsheks!
Yea it can be hard, but with right work ethic and strategy (how to get to Supernova) is doable. I am now little bit behind from my plan, but if I fix my leaks and get better at tables, then I will be able to go to $15 at the end of the year and I will catch up dose lost points at the beginning of the year.
So yea. Good strategy on how to get there and have at least 5%ROI is crucial. Because there is no point of becoming Supernova and be BE or even loosing player.
Wish you good luck and very best in this year!

Thanks for instructions and good wishes

Seems like ET plays a large role in motivating a lot of people. I personally have watched a lot of his videos many times, very good stuff.
