Laz:) Thank you so much for your help. Is really important to me what you writting and I would enter all your advice ASAP :)

POKER

Currently in my bankroll I have about 90$ and I want so much try my skills at NL10, but I must be patient and step by step earn some $$. The worst part of that is I offen cashout some $ from my bankroll so building bankroll goes very slowly. In Sunday I try make some small summary my currently winnings together with grah.

FOOTBALL

On Saturday my team will have the last match in this season. At the moment our situaction is really great we have 11 win into 11 match so it's great!!
We are on the good way to move up to leauge. Of course after the last match in this season we have a summary, so will be a lots of alcohol as well, but we tranning so hard per last 6 months so we deserve for that:)

NL2

As you see NL2 for my is really easy game, I can play 6 tables, 12 tables and I know I always will be winning player. I didn't tell you that to brag you or something like that. I just wondering where is the difference between NL2 and NL5. Like you see at the bottom screen my results at NL5 are really bad. I can admit that I'm breakeven player and this is so sad to me. I see many players who had winnings at NL2 about 14bb/100 and then those the same players move up to NL5, and then move up to NL10 where they work great. I try play always 6 tables, where i have always some fish on the table but this is not enough for NL5...For mi is one thing is curious if I had about 11bb/100 at NL2 then everything fwould be for my very simple but i have about 26bb/100 and I'm still breakeven player:)
I'm a person who doesn't like to complain really I know that you see my post and you thinking how I can writting that bulshit but this is tru. I try not to complain at all, so now i have 8$ in my bankroll, because I cashout 100$ three days ago and I'm going to grinding my sweet level nl2.

NL5

ENGLISH

I decided to write some post everyday so i told you now that will be not interesting enough, but i really want grinding my English as often as posiible :)

Hello folks

POKER

Actually in my bankroll is about 6$ and this is so much frustrating for me...I play like i said before 6 tables and I'm forced to buying only 80$ and I can't play my A-game.I don't feel comfotable enough because i can't 3bet as much I as wanted :) I know i just can make some deposit and I have money to do that, but I'm stubborn and I want achive my goals without outside transfer :) I think for the 3-4 years I never deposit money I only make some cashout so I will be fight as long as this is possible

Hi:)

POKER

I still struggle with my nearly empty bankroll, but I like challange like this. I decided with my girlfiernd that I will not cashout every month, because this is so frustrating for me. Poker awlays for me was a hobby, and when I must make some cashout every months I feel that it is changing from hobby to work and this is abnormal for me....When I don't have any pressure I play A-game always so know I will be building my bankroll from 10$ to 500$.

ENGLISH

I learning everyday for movies, writting some post here, reading some books of English like"Tools for Titans"-amazing books by the way and From new Year i wanted start learning with some teacher and then my English should by better and better :)

Hi, xkwlx! :)

I have been following your blog from the very beginning, and I like the progress you did! You seem like a winning player, but unfortunately, you have to cash out money from your poker bankroll which kind of slows you down in progress.

I sent you a friend request here on pokerstrategy; I really would like to talk to you!

Thank you! :)

Hi, jerabina!:)

I really feel great when I know when someone read my posts:) Of course your request was accepted I really enjoy when can I talk to someone in English :)

POKER

I have really big motivation all the time. At the moment I mixed normal table of poker with zoom poker :)
Actually i have about 12$ and per last 4000 hands I'm brakeeven player but is ok for me-WHY??
-When you look back at my results at NL2 you can see there are some moments when I'm brakeven player per 5000 hands
-This situation is little frustrating for me, because I always check the bankroll once a week, know when I play 6 table and I loss all-in between AA vs KK I can't rebuy because in my bankroll just left 10$ and then I know exacly how many dollars is into my bankroll....
-Third! I think someone doesn't want to see how Mateusz from Poland starting crush NL2 again, because unfortunately per last 3 days I had the 5 situation when i had 200bb on the table and I lost situation 80%/20% for me--I know this is normal in poker and I think my mindset is really great but I must more dollars to play more comfortable, know when I have 12 dollars everykind situatin when I lose more than 100bb is stressful for me:)

Personal development

I love read, i love develop yourself and now I wriitng excelent books "The 12 Week Year" and I can't wait when I finish that book and I started introduced some tactics from them.Really recomend this book for everyone who want be better and better every day:)

Good evening! :)

I think you have a lot of readers here, but not everyone considers it necessary to answer. However, you can be a great inspiration for newbies. And overall, writing this blog helps you with improving your English and in the sorting of your thoughts which can be really helpful :)

PS: I sent you a private message here on pokerstrategy

Hi Mat,
I read your blog for quite a while now. I have a lot of time to spare at work and you are the only polish player that has a blog on english ps.com
The only advice I have for you is: stop doing withdrawals and you will start going up. if you are doing 10bb/100 on NL2 you should easily do 8bb on NL5. the game is not that different and people do so many mistakes there you cant go from a winning player on NL2 to losing player on NL5. It is all in your head and mindset. So just save your money up to a comfortable bankroll for you and you will crush NL5 too.
Hit me back on skype - pycieksc and I can give you some advice. I did the same in the past - I was cashing out my winnings to much and I was stuck at NL5 - I shot NL50 now ;)
cheers Piotr from Sosnowiec .

Hi Piotr:)

Establishment of this blog was the greatest thing I could make!:)
People like you and all the people here are so motivating for me and I want to thank you fot that :)

POKER

I must make last withdrawals when I will have 100$ then I create the plan like into "the 12 week year" and you will see many of changes here on the blog:)
Now I just play without great commitment because my goals is not a very ambitious.
I just will be play about 1000 hands per day for 6 tables and when I will be have about 120$ I will make withdrawals 100$ and then I started building solid bankroll:)

Hello:)

POKER

I want to be honest with you, and per last six days I play poker with very small bankroll like you know.That was for me very boring, because I can't play A-game and I play best poker when I,m focused on the game for 100%, but by my a small amount of dollars I was forced to check the bankroll many times of day and that was for me really frustrating.So i decide make some deposit and I donate my bankroll with 16$ and at the moment I have about 24$:) I started from today and I'm gonna play 20 000k hands and after this I check my bankroll, so some summary should appear for two weeks I guess:)

FOOTBALL

Tomorrow I go with my little team to same three-day tournament so I'm sure that will be amazing time for my and "my" kids! I also add some pictures from this tourament and I will upload here for someone who interested in football!:)

ENGLISH

I make some little progress everyday, so if I will keep that commitment should be really nice, but like I said I must be patient and keep doing, keep doing, keep doing!:)

Now I'm gonna play 30 000 hands and until i finish this I will check the bankroll.Besically it's the great form for my, when I don't must check the bankroll day after day:)

Hi everyone :)

In the end I have really good period in poker, during a last three days I'm at really good path to get the amazing results I think:)
Like I said in December I must make last cashout about 100$ and then I must spend about 8 hours to plan my future year.
At the moment I'm sure that my next year will be much better that then especially in the poker field!
My goals will be 10$ per hour and I know that will be reall tough but If someone can make that results why I can't?
Future show everything but I will be most focused on this area (poker) and I will prove myself that I can:)

Like I said in December I will have to make a last cashout of about 100$ and then I will spend about 8 hours to plan my future year.
At the moment I'm sure that my next year will be much better than the current year, especially poker-wise!
My goal will be 10$ per hour and I know that it will be really tough but If others can get these results why should I not be able to?
The future will show but I will be very focused on this area (poker) and I will prove myself that I can do it :)

In general, if your goal is a certain hourly rate (in this case 10$ per hour) it could make sense to do some calculations. You can start off with research about achievable winrates at certain stakes/variants/sites. For example, 4BB/100 hands would be a fairly good winrate on NL10 Zoom on Pokerstars.

This would mean in 100 hands a good player will make around 40 cents on average playing NL10 Zoom on Stars. 4-tabling these will enable you to play around 1200 hands per hour, which comes down to 4.80$/hour.
This is just an example to show you how you could approach a goal like this. Making 10$/hour with online poker is definitely doable, but you should keep in mind whats realistic at your current stakes etc and set achievable goals accordingly.

Hope I was able to help you a bit.

Good luck on the tables!

Hi Emat:)

For me corrections like this are so much important so thank you so much for that!

LIFE

Regardlin to my golas your sugesstions are really cool and I'm gonna to apply to my plan.Many people are doing some golas at the beginning of the year and that is great, but many of those people give up after one week, one month etc. For me this year was crucial, I change my approach to many fields in my life.I started read a lots of books, take care of my famile (fiancee especially), I am started learning the English and so many diffrent things.For my plannnig is so important and I'm going to start my planning today, after the work I don't have any duties like tranning with my kids or just my trenning and day like this are really rare for my, so I'm trying use day like this productively:)

I will tell you how planning looks at me:) On the beginning I'm doing plans for longer period like 3-4 years for example in 2021 year
[*] I will be have my own kindergarten
[*] My winrate will be 10$/hour at Pokerstras
[*] I will be native speakers in English etc.

Then I'm making shortly period for example I will take 10$/per hour, so if I want to earn 10$/per hour in 2021, it would be great if I will earn 5$ in 2018 and then whole 2108 year I split on the 4 period, each period has 3 months and For example my firsty small year will be for Jenuary to March and I'm wondering what Can I make, what Can I do in this period to be closer to my own goal For instance I have to played 1000 hands per day, I have to do 1 private trenning per week, once a month check my results etc.

When I wondering about my biggest dream like own kindergarten, everything is for me tremendous and overhelmed, but if I big think shares on the small thing it turn out that I'm able to achieve this.

The same situation is in English, at the moment I commit a lots of mistakes but If everyday I will do a small step to be better, my English should be on the good level:)

LIFE
