My NEWLife SNG

(would appreciate admin to put this picture here, I dont know how or I cant :( ) About me: My name is Vedran Premužić, 31 year old guy with a dream. I live in town called Koprivnica, small town of 30k citizens in beautiful but politicaly tortured Republic of Croatia. Im happily divorced, have a beautiful daughter 10 years old and live with my girlfriend. Started playing poker in 2008 and my beging was playing live poker with friends during weekends. I fell in love with poker so much that I decided to leave my steady job in pharmaceutical company Belupo and along with my friend open first Poker Club in my town. First things go very well and life was great but as always ther is a but, situation in Croatia started to become very difficult and people didnt have any money to spend beside ususal bills and food. Thats the time we decided to close down Poker Club, and my future was very unstable. A lot of friends started playing online poker so only natural thing for me to do is to try playing online. Started playing mtts (like a lot of recreational players) on FullTilt and Pokerstars, results was horrible, so after some time I decided to learn and I mean really learn how to play poker. I read some books, watched some videos and got help from a friend that was crushing NL200 and became first Croatian SNE on PS ever “fakker11”. I really appreciate him and his guidance so I started to play cash games on Pokerstars. Soon enough I was a reg played on NL50 and trying to come up to NL100. At that time Pokerstars Eureka came to Croatia and the buy in was 1000€ + 100€, to be honest it was out of my bankroll BI but “fakker11” told me he got my back on this one. Played the tournament and after 3days ended up on final table. Final result was 6th place winning 11.900,00 EUR and for me It was big payday. Then the road down starts, I was thinking Im the best player there is, confidence sky high, nobody wasnt good enough for me :( . And as You guess I BUSTED! Hmmm what now? Lets play CG and try to build a roll. After playing CG for a while I went to play live micro stakes tournament with my friend “klompa123”, we did nothing ofc, BUT he made some good arguments why I should play SNG poker and journey begins, My NEWlife SNG! Formats I played online: Cash game NL2, NL5, NL10, NL25, NL50, NL100 (ended CG career on NL50) MTTs micro and mid stakes (only good score was shipping The Big $4.40) STT SNG 6max: $3.5s, $7s and currently playing $15s People (poker players) that helped me the most (wouldnt be here without You guys, THANK YOU!): fakker11 – early start of my online poker career Mixer2211 aka “noherohud” - playing cg all the time with me and spending endless time discussing poker hands and theory, also my real life friend (lives with me in the same city) klompa123 – BEST RL FRIEND, also the main reason I didnt lose faith in my game and helped me with transition from CG to SNG (also lives in the same city as me ;) ) One more IMPORTANT thing he did for me, he told his mentor and coach about me and is the main reason that still today Im under coaching of TIM64 (best poker coach for SNG – dont even try to tell me different) onthestoop – MY YODA, MY MASTER, guy who didnt know me, he just trusted klompa123 that Im worth his time and took me under his wings ! THANK YOU TIM64! About this blog: Here I will update at least every other day my results from grinding, so this should be my motivation to grind more then now so Ill try not to embarrasse myself. Currently Im grinding SNG STT 6max turbo and regular $7s and $15s. Moved up from only $7s this year so I hope it will be a good one. My Goals: * put in more volume (at least 100sng per day) * Supernova VIP status until August 2015 (Goldstar currently as I write this, will be Platinum in February) * make some money (of course) * resolve my medical problems (panic attacks, lack of moving) Hope You will like my blog, so keep Yours eyes on it, I would appreciate every comment and critic of course, ask me some questions and be part of My NEWLife SNG THANK YOU ALL! May the force be with You all!

Forgot to post weekly results.

WEEK #5: $15s

Hours: 28h 27min (my sick days left a trace)
SNG: 383
VPPs: 2306
ROI%: -0,41
ITM%: 36,8
Profit/Loss: - $23,43 (pre rb) , + $60,42 (post rb)

Week was BE but I should be happy about it because we all know how bad I was running and hours put in, volume was bad because I was off for 2 days, I was sick. This week all things should fall into place and I should be grinding normal and one more step closer to supernova. Also a good thing would be if finnally I could make some decent profit. Hoping for the best. Good luck to You all guys and have a good week.
