E60/E61 is NOT big car, i had E61 and its pretty small car inside (depens how big you are ofc). Other than that its good car (i had E61 - universal version, 535d m optic with modifided eletronics, made about 280kw and shitload of nm, really fun to drive + low cost of diesel if you drive normaly)

@teddypoker - TY! After I sat in both cars, I realized that the second one is much more comfortable and beautiful inside.

@n00b11 - Thanks for the review! Compared to my current car is pretty big. _biggrin: I am not so big also _tongue:

Then its good car, depens what car you have atm, you may be suprised and not with good way, how expencive it is to have this car running (again depens how much you drive, i drive about 4k km/mo and i had expences about 300-400eur/mo for repair avg 50k km, i was ofc holding car running really well allways, you can do it cheaper ofc bit, but to get some idea), but if you find car with "comfort" seats then its all worth it.

Get an older bmw estate and a motorcycle.
You want an estate car because you will once need it to be big.
You want a motorcycle because of cheap thrills!

Sidenote if you have an advice for my problem?
Noticed that my good days was when my aggression was high.
I was betting so strong that my hand should have been stronger. I was not really in spots where i was calling and if i was , i would steal the initiative. This got me into putting my stack in vs quads. My red line got higher than my SD line.
The positive of that was that it was higher chance of people not bluffing me because i show so much strength.
I tried to temper my aggression and not be so spewey and now if i make a bet of 50% pot and get raised , i am thinking that my opp is raising for he thinks i am weak. So i call too much now, like a calling station.
This is my leak, which is good that i found it. Now looking for a way to find the balance!?!

@bonecore - Thanks for writing! I will check your blog out in a minute. _drink:

@n00b11 - I have a hatchback Volkswagen Golf IV from 98'. 1.9 TDI engine, 90 HP _zZz:. Compared to my current car the feeling of sitting in a 5 Series BMW was awesome. I am searching for a diesel 520 or 525, but i might buy i petrol one 523-525. Release year from 2004 to 2008. If you have any pros or cons of buying either a diesel or petrol car, please share them with me. Also I drive about 1,5k km on average in a mouth and rarely on highways, this is why I'm considering a petrol car.

My car:

@bonecore - I haven't bought a car yet.

@SDK1987 - Poker is going really well, but I didn't play just a little, because now I'm working on my final license project for the university. My May poker goals are already completed. In July I will get back in the game seriously. I can't wait to start playing again normally _biggrin:

Hi guys! Long time passed since the last update. It was a really busy time. Starting from today I'm back in action, fully motivated _thumbsup:
I failed my license exam, it is postponed until next summer. Even though I worked hard in the last month and I was expecting to finish Uni still I don't feel at all bad. I'm glad that I can start playing poker again and that I'm healthy!

I also bought my new car: 5 series BMW, 2.5d engine and 177 HP. It's a really awesome feeling sitting in it and driving it. _biggrin:

Now it's time to finish this challenge, goals in June are pretty simple:

:diamond: Get back in shape(poker)
:diamond: Review before every new day
:diamond: Rest enough
:diamond: Train(running + gym + dance)

Thank you bonecore, WhiteWalker and adelaar! _biggrin: Good luck with your goals too!

Update: Poker is going good this month, I believe I'm almost back in shape. I am adding one new goal:
:diamond: Self improvement - 1 hour every day

I recently joined a network marketing company, not to make money, to learn! I believe that it's the best place for self development. The people are very motivated, inspiring, healthy and happy. I realized that it's not enough to read a bunch of books, I need to start taking action and using the stuff I read or learned. The same people, who help me to start my business invited me to a summer camp, completely free, in July, organized by their non-profit organization: "Together for the kids with cancer". I am really looking forward to go, it will be awesome and I'm sure it will help me a lot in dealing with the uncertainty of cancer. =)

A funny hand: I wanted to fold and accidentally miss-click re-raised :f_biggrin::f_biggrin::f_biggrin:

Just came across this thread. Dude I love your energy, it's inspiring. Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the car and the health improvement.

Keep improving your health, and life. Don't stop reading even though you have to take action, remember to keep learning! You said you enjoyed Rich Dad, Poor Dad. If you want a more classic investing book, try The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. It's a bit thick, but it's a keeper :)

Wow, thanks metalhe4der,palaidnis and teddypoker for your kind words! You guys are an inspiration for me to! _biggrin:

I heard about The Intelligent Investor, I am adding it to my kindle book list. Don't worry, I will never stop reading. I have a quick advice for those who like to read: always take notes or highlight the important information. This helped me to remember more from the books I read, and I can always look over the notes if I need something important. _biggrin:

June's last days were great, both in poker and life. Here are my goals for July:
:spade: Minimum 90 hours of poker
:spade: Improve my game every day
:spade: Daily 1 hour of self improvement
:spade: Exercise/ rest enough
:spade: Go to CHAMP Camp
:spade: Enjoy the summer

A little bit of bad variance in July, but I haven't played so much. I made a bigger review and my win-rate in 2014 is much bigger then in 2015 so far. I thinks it's because this year, I couldn't review and work on my game so much. Now that University is over I realized that I have to commit more time and energy to poker, if I want to play poker "professionally". The minimum of 90 hours of poker + study shouldn't be a problem, even if it's summer.

As the old saying goes: 'Poker is a hard way to make an easy living'

Here are two hands that I really liked:
