Thanks coach! I have so many material to work with, all that is left for sessions is to clear insecurities if there will be any 
By the end of the year? In next 3 months! 
Lets see is it possible!

- 1/3,5 workout hour completed
Yesterday i got home from work and i had a bad headache, was trying to rest so i can focus on studying and grind but it sticked for whole day, i did some studying anyway on 4th post flop video for about an hour, didnt play as i thing i would only loose money and torture myself.
9th Week challenge (Wednesday) - DAY 61
- 4,5/14 studying hours completed
- 7/224 tournaments completed
- 0 session with my dai-sensei ♠_biggrin: completed
- 1,5/3,5 workout hour completed
Today i came home and again felt headache then i slept a bit and now its ok so continued studying on 4th video.
So, these two days were a little less productive but now that i have some solid info i can set some new time management, in this one there is no time for napping and resting 
Monday-Friday
07h Wake up
07:30-08:30h Study
09-17h FT job
17-18h Work out, take a shower, eat
18-20h Study
20-22/23h Grind
22/23-00h Update blogs/day review
Saturday & Sunday
11-13h Study
13-14h Lunch/take a break
14-16h Study
16-17h Rest
17-19h Study
19-22h Grind
22h and on - Update blog/day review/watch some movie or something
So it would be like this for now, i know my weekends are looking very antisocial but im willing to give up of some things to achieve my goals.
Maybe will make some longer break between studying if i go out to mall or to movies with gf or something like that (dont have much friends here in Zagreb since i moved here last year and soon i started to work with Peđa so there was really no time to make them either ♦) all my friends that i know whole my life are 500km away, i do wish to meet with all them to hang out and get drunk and things like that but for now i cant afford it if i want to succeed in my plan to turn pro soon.
To be honest, i dont know how much and does it have impact on me, leaving all my friends behind, but my gf is really great and im happy with her here and she is definitely giving me fuel to go further and keep working.
Since i started i invested money, time and effort in poker carrier, my coach did too and it would be really stupid not to keep working hard and make that effort pay of both for me and my coach.
I found out today that my new work time on ft job will be 09-17h and i made new time management, now working 8h/day and it was 6h/day + i am overtaking of managing retail shop since my colleague is not capable of running things the way he should, although it is not all his fault because boss is pretty unorganized and retarded too, its all big mess and will see how things will work, i am looking for another job so hopefully will find something else with less responsibility so i can focus more on poker. This comes with some benefits (bigger incomes for me and close to home, 10 min with bike) but as i said it demands more time and responsibility then previous job. Good thing is that at least i still have weekend free so i can use those two days to devote myself to poker 100% and at least 10h/day.
To study on Thursday:
- ICM trainer sessions
- Analyze marked hands
- Memorize ranges
- Finish 4th post flop video study
Tomorrow continuing with time management and being more productive, with you all the best on and off the tables!

Im still synchronizing my time management, i think it would be ok the way i wrote in last update, its just that i had some additional things i needed to do this week and im doing poorly in grinding, but trying to keep up with my goals for study.
I finished 4th post flop video study and one more video that our coach made for us of him playing CG sweating with the guy he is studying CG, was pretty funny and useful to hear theirs thought process.

Pretty terrible week for now if i may add, came from work in not so good mood and latter then i should, had to stay almost 2h longer. So didnt do much stuff today. I have reading some ranges and notes until session with Jernej started, its always great and useful to work with Jernej as we joke around and do some good analyzing on hands.
Now going of to bed and tomorrow i plan to put in 10h to poker activities to make up for lost hours of studying and some grinding.
Will see you in tomorrows update!

So, yesterday i had a good poker day, studied a lot and had good grinding session.
While playing my focus was not on 100% but i manage to play a good session, didnt do much bad plays and more important started to use some new plays i have learned in last few days, post flop videos that i have studied have proven to be very useful.
Now going to continue with working on my game and will grind later on.
See you tonight with update for today!

Sunday is over and here is the update!
This week, again didnt complete grind volume as i wanted but the good new for my bankroll (i hope ♦) is that i am planning to try complete 224 tournaments played in next weeks challenge. We will see how will it end but i will try, this week i have finished and done much of studying hours and learned a lot.
Im going to use it in next weeks increased volume.
Today i did another session with Jernej, we started to work and study our ranges pre and post flop.
I have set new hud after watching video that coach made for his students and played few tournaments to test it and its great, still need some changes but it will be very useful.
Looking forward to test new skills that i have learned so far!
Look forward to your grinding Darko and our future sessions where we will review plays from those tournaments.
Keep crushing!

Hey ppl, updating a little earlier today, gonna update our private forum for coaching group and going to bed, i feel so damn tired, its like i haven`t slept in days.
From the day i started this blog and even before that i never took a day off from poker, i think its catching up now and i feel a little exhausted, but not to worry, i did slow down in last week or so with grinding, studying was ok tho
so no resting for me just yet, weekends especially since i have much time for studying and grinding when im free from ft job. I think it will be ok when i rest tonight, it has to be, dont have a luxury to take few days off.
So, yesterday i had a session with coach and we made a good plan on what to study with sessions with Jernej, it always boost my mood and i feel great when i get to hear from time to time that i have a lot of things to do and work on to become better at something, i mean its not like i haven`t knew that but its great to remind yourself how much fun you have in front of you
I am really looking forward to all the things i will learn and i want to see how good i can become, its taking a lot of time to make some significant moves in poker when i cant devote 100% to it, to be honest i didnt think it will take so much. Its left to see when will i be able to make profit long term and become independent, but when it comes to studying i think its always better to do it with some one then alone, no matter how good you are
After the session with coach i have studied one more video and setting up my new HUD, it took a 2h to set every detail as i wanted to but its worth it
When i finished with that i hit the bed since i was past midnight.

Yea, i know i said im gonna volume up my grinding, yesterday i was setting up new HUD and today i just tested it in few tournaments and its really great, i love the setup and popups that i have mad, didnt use them much before but its really gear stuff.
I was stuck at work longer and made it to home by 18h, then i had session with Jernej, which was great like always, we have discussed some things and started with complete re-adjusting game plan since there are antes now in 6-max turbos from the first level and at all stakes.
Later on i did some work in ICM trainer, and tested new HUD.
Updating blogs and going to bed.
Cya all tomorrow!

Today i did study on river call filters and analyzing hands (about 2h), after that i reviewed my own HH and as expected i found leaks that i will be able to fix more easily now that i am aware of them. Did that until now and ended up with no grinding, i will need to put in extra hours on weekends again, but more then the last.
Also did some reading and memorizing on ranges and stuff.
See you all tomorrow!

I supposed to work 09-16h today but i had to stay to 19h, wonder!
I managed to go out and go to job interview that i mentioned yesterday. It went ok, but as always there are many ppl that are looking for that one open spot so i will let you know if im the luck one 
So, got home past 19h, took a shower, ate dinner and did what i could to make any use on the rest of the day/night.
Went trough filter for calling river like yesterday reviewed few hands.
Was thinking to study on one video but decided to do that on Saturday since i am working tomorrow 09-19h again.
So i played grinded a bit and i think i did good, had some loose all in call pre flop but all in all was not so bad, will review more HH tomorrow and use some other filter.

Woke up around 09h, had to do some work, ate breakfast and went out to do some stuff.
Got back home after lunch, read notes about my leaks and went trough filters from bubble play, i found that most of the times when i try to bluff catch, i end up with worst hand and i need to add that to my leak note.
After that, had 2 sessions with Jernej, over two hours, we almost finished constructing opening ranges, tomorrow we are going to finish it.
I have set to do some grinding today and i did about 2h, not much but i take it slow with just 2 tables to get used to new HUD.
