Hello:)

POKER

I had a little break from poker (one day), because I was in Kraków with my friends. Thats why I didn't make summary in the Sunday. I checked the results and the story it's the same as one week ago, it means after 2-3 days I reach about 30$, and then the line with winning goes straight down, so I earned only 6 dollars:D

I hope this week will be much batter, and at the moment situaction is really good and I have to keep good playing all the time and then the results will be awesome:)

MISHMASH

Like I said I was in Kraków with my fiancee visit our friends, the weather was great so we spend really amazing time, you can check the photos below:)

Spoiler

I think the Poland it's great counter and great place for everyone, so if want spend great time, I'm inviting you here:) Especially you have to visit Kraków because this place it's amazing, so much beautifull, all you have to do it's rent a bike and you will see many beautifull places:)

Hello

POKER

I played a litlle less than usuall because 1,2,3 May in the Poland it's a free day from work so I decided spend this time with family.
I played only 1500 hands per last 3 days but I will start play 1200 hands per day from tomoorow .

MISHAMASH

Like I said I spend my free time with my friends so yesterday I was on fishing with my dad and was amazing really :)
I love fisihing but I have not enough time for this hobby and definitely I have to change this! Below some pictuers from our fishing trip!

All fishs returned to the water :)

I also thought a lot about my team kids where I'm the coach and I decided to resign from traning kids but not now, I think I resigned in July or September and that give me a lots of time to improve my skill in areas which I want:)

I love Saturdays when I wake up at 5:30 a.m and when whole family begins to get up I already finish great session of poker, learning the English, so it's really great felling!
Today my session was really good. My outcome will be much better but in one spot when me and my opponent had over than 200bb and I lost this even though I had 80% to win:) Today I have whole Saturday free so I'm going to play another session in the afternoon.

MISHMASH

The weather it's bad today so I will spend my free time in the home I think. I will be learning the English and I will be working on my goals:)
I missed free weekend but now when I don't have any match I can do everything what I want, so it's great option for me:)

Hello:)

POKER

Time to make some little summary. In this week I played only 5800 hands, because I tried spend my free time with friends and enjoy the weather.

When I started play the NL2 zoom, the outcome was really good after, but after 25 000 hands I reach plateau and for the next 15 000 hands I'm brake even. Of course I should play much better in many spots and a lots of time I just drift around instead foucus on the game, but I want change this and next weeks should much better!

This graph show a last week, which was avarage, I played only 6000 hands and quality of the game was bad so I'm not happy about that!

This grpah shows my overall score and like you see, I have to change this plateau!

My general things which I have to change through next week:
-I have to focus on the game much more than currently
-I have to increase my amount of hands to 8000-9000 hands per week


MISHMASH

Today I want use the weather as much as I can, so when I fininsh learning English I will go to the church, then I will make grill with my family, then I will go running and maybe I will go on the match when my previous team will be play, so I think I should cheer them:)

The next interesting weekend ahead of me. My goal for this week it's played 7000 hands, I think this amount of hands it's good because I will be play only 5 days, because in the weekend I have my own party associated with my wedding, I don't know what it's the name of this party in English language but this is the last party before your pwn wedding, and you usually spend time with your best male friends! In the Polish language it's call "kawalerskie".

Going back to poker, I will spend about 6 hours on playing but I would like it to be much quality time like usuall so I want focusing on the game for 100%, because this plateau, which you so on the graph above is so irritaiting for me, so I have to change this as quickly as possible:)

MISHMASH

As I mentioned I have party in the weekend so I will be offline for 2 days, but I really looking foreward for this "event", because I know that will be amazing time, with amazing people so I can;t wait for that!

In this week I also started learning English language much more than usauall, because twice per week I will be participate in classes at the English school. Additional I bought "Profesor Henry", and I want spend 1 hour everday on this book, and I know if I will be consistent in it, my English level should increase much faster that currently!

MISHMASH

Today it's firts time when I go to English course, so I'm really excited about that and I can't wait because I really looking woreward for that!
I'm sure that when I will be consistent in what I'm doing right now, I'm prette sure that My English level will be increace day after day!

One month left to my wedding, this is the first and last time when I get married xD xD because it's time-consuming, and I have to spend all my free time to make some stupid things like inviting the family, go for a lessons of dance etc.

I have very busy next 2 months, because I have a wedding, I go for a holiday, I have to renovate the room, but then I will be have so much free time and I want spending this time for learning!

Hi

POKER

Today my session was good, despite the fact that I was sleepy. I don't know why, I slept 7 hours like always, but when I started my session I have to fighting all the time with my closer eyes:)
I hope that this week will be much better than the last two weeks, and I startred grow up with my green line!
I changed a little bit my openning raise and I will try to play a little bit tigher than usuall, because I think that I play too loose, and sometimes I have trouble through it:)

MISHMASH

Yesterday I was first time in the English School and I'm a little bit dissapointed because, the group prefer lough all the time instead focusing on the learning...
I changed my aproach to study, because when I was in the school, I prefer do nothing, but currently I have a completely different apprach, so I have to change the group:)

I know that my English will be better and better every months, because I have strong motivation for that and I spend 2 hours everyday for learning new stuff, and I looking foreward for next months!

Additional, I wondered how to use the Netflix to learnng the English, and from yesterday I decided to watching movies or serial only with orginal language with subtiteles of course in nglish language as well.

So like you see at the moment I'm writing the blog post, learn with TED, spend 1 hour everday with "Profesor Henry", Twice a week I go to the nglish School wich take me 4 hours and 2-3 hours per day, usually in the work I have headphones and I just listen the Lucke English Podcast!

Hi folks:)

POKER

Today I played 1100 hands, and this session was good I think, I made one one misstake, but then my game was good. Tomorrow I'm gonna play 2000 hands, and if everything will be good, I shuold reach 8000 hands in this week. That will be great amount of hands, because in the Sunday I have day off from poker, because like you know I have a party, so in the Sunday I will be feel not great

MISHMASH

I totallt burn out from being the coach, and I decided to resigned from this, but I have to wait until I fininsh some my stuff. I think that will be hard for me, but I know that this change must be made.

Yesterday I was in another group in Englisch School and that group was much better than the last one. If I will spend a lots of time on the homework, I should increase my English month after month and I'm really looking foreward for that!

I have second shifts twice per week in the Monday and Friday so I will use this time to learning English and I will be want spend 3 hours on each day on English!

Hello

POKER

Today I had the last session in this week, because I had to give my PC to reinstall the system, because my laptop just suck!
Today's session was really great and I was not focused for 100% on the game, I was focused 200% on the game! why?
I always try someting new in my life, and I want feel always great so I try diffrent things with sleep, eat, sport etc.

Today I decided to sleep at least 7:30 hours and just right after getting up I drnak 1 cup water with half of lemon, half a teaspoon of Himalayan salt, and one teaspoon apple vinegar and after drinking this, I took very, very, very cold shower, but really cold and this is so much not comfortable, but if you can't do not comfortable thnigs and you do only easy steps you never achieve any spectalurar goals.

I try to choose always harder way, when I can go to wark by car or by bike I always choose the bike, the same it's between stairs and elevator I always choos a stairs!
I really recomend take a cold shower in the morining. If you do that I will be feel so fresh and your mind will be working for 200%!

I played 6000 hands in this week, and this amount of hands it's really good, but I will try play about 8000-9000 hands for each week.
I know that my currently situactions like wedding, visits in a dentist not help with that, but for one month I will be have much more time to poker, English and other stuff which I like:)

What a great feeling, when you can come back to things which you like to do:) Today I have second shift, so like always I got up at 6 a.m and I took cold shower, drink 2 cup of water with limon, and then with delicius cup of coffee I started my first session from the week.

The session was good, I was very focused on the game, excluding last 10 minutes when my mind drift around:)
I made a cashout, and in my bankroll left about 12$. Now I wondered about different strategies, and the idea it's that I will be always set up some goal, like for example if I reach 120$, then I buy some gadget, so I have to find some thing which I really want and that will be much more motivating for me. Currently I don't know which gadget I need so today when I will be in the work, I will try find something:)

MISHMASH

The wedding is nearer and nearer, so I'm exciting but now I don't have time for anything.

I want tell a few words about my English School where I'm the participant. I have activities twice per week and the lessons are so great and helpful for me. I really enjoy doing that and I hope after some months, years my English will be better and better, but I also know it's take a time so I have to be really patient and determined !

POKER

Today it's a different Saturday than usuall, because I spend my time in work, but like you know if you read my blog of course I can play poker in my job, so today I played 1200 hands and my game was good I think (of course "good" on NL2). I struggled with few problems realted with HoldemManager but know everything it's all right:) Today I go to wedding to my friend, so I don't know that tomorrow I will be play.

have to say about my title blog "Polish road to 16$/hour"-I think I have to change this, because I'm not dermined on 100% for thta goal...
I remember days (3-2-1 year ago) where I spend so much time for learning, playing poker etc. but know I spend only one hour on Poker and I exacly know that it's not enough to reach thta goal which is 16$ per hour...

I'm the guy who will set a some goal then I try so much to reach that goal, but in poker it's a little bit different situactions, because I don't tell you that if I spend much more time for learnineg that I will reach 16$ per hour for 100% not I didn/t say that, because I know that I you want to reach that goal, you have to havemuch more time that I have, and of course you have to want that!

I want reach 16$ per hour of course I want to, but I can spend only 1 hour per day on the poker, so I know thta it's impossible to reach that goal.

Poker it's good for me, but only for one hour then it becomes so bored for this is why I don't want to dedicated much more time for this because this is not my future:)

I just "burn out" of this maybe the reason that I'm "burn out" is that I spend a lots of hours for science, really a lots I think that can be about 200-300 hours really, I watched about 100 or more videos and that was for me so much frustracting that I can'y beat fucking NL5! so know I just play 1 hour on NL2 and I reach there about 2-3 $ per hour and it's enougf for me currently.

Now I have different goals one of them is learn English, and then I want focus my all energy for Niche Websites this is why I sometimes I don't use your help, because sometimes (GREAT people!!!!) they offer my help for free, but I don't use this help because like I said I'm burn out so much about poker and this is the main reason.

I hope you understand a little bit what I mean:)

So, now I will change my tittle, and I will be still playing the poker, but only on NL2 just to reach about 150$ per week and then buy some gift my future wife or myself:)

That guys who offer me some help and I didn't use that help-You are amazing guys, and I appreciated that so much! really, but you have to understand me that I'm just "burn out" and poker it's not my future, so I don't spend a lots of time on playing or learning.

I didn't make and sum up, because in the previous week I played only 2000 hands, but in this week I should reach about 8000 hands and of course I will make some sum up in Sunday:) I play still 4 tables of zoom on NL2 and like you know I will be play only NL2 even if I reach 100$ I will be still play NL2, because on NL5 I'm the break even player:)

MISHMASH

The weekend was fine, in Saturday I was at the my friend's wedding and was really good, I met some cool goy from California so I spend about 1 hour to speak with him in English, but after some drinks our conversation have to be finish, because he was so tired:D

Sunday was amazing, because the weather was beautiful so first my parents come to parents my fiancée and we have barbecue together, then I drove with my fiancée on the lake and we spend their great time, so weekend was really successful for us:)

This week should be awesome as well, because on Saturday I go to work, but only from 6 to 10 and like you know I spend my time on playing the poker and learning the English so it's great:) then at 11 a.m I go to see my friends, because they will play with number one team in our league and when they win against them our team will be on the first place.

After match I will go on fishing with my dad or just alone and then I go to Kraków to my friends and we will be watch the final match between Real Madrid and Liverpool.

My fiance have a bachelorette on Saturday this is why I don't spend time with her:)

Sunday should be great as well, because I want wake up about 5 a.m play the poker, learn English, make some sum up and if only will be good whether I go to fishing again:)

On Tuesdays I have usually the second shift, but today my workmate take a day off so I go to work for him on the first shift. I wake up 5:20 a.m and when my alarm clock woke me up, I thought to myself "Mateusz you should go to bed and sleep 1-2 hour longer because you feel tired" but I didn't do that and that was great movement. I wake up and I played session, which was really great. I take a lots of money from fishes, and I played solid poker all the time:)

My goal for this week is to play 8000 hands and I know that I can reach that:) I know that the 8000 hands for someone sounds a little bit funny, because some people make this amount of hands per day, but for me it's an amount which demanding some effort:)

MISHMASH

I remember that about 1 year ago I can't wake up at 8 a.m, and now I wake up 5:30 a.m and of course sometimes I have some problems but despite that I wake up then I drink 2 cups of water then I brush my teeth and I'm ready to action:)

If you want to wake up early, but you have a problem with that. You have to try some of my "advice" which help me a lots with my "morning wake up"


-If you want to wake up early, you have to go sleep early-Voilà
-If you wake up and you want come back to your bad, first drink 2 cups of water with lemon-then you can go to bad (but after drinking 2 cups of water, you will be ready for action)
-You must have some goal, if you don't have a goal, getting up eraly will be really hard for you

Additional if you want to feel better, that your mind worked better etc. you can try this:

-After drinking 2 cups of water, make 3-4 min exercises like 20 squats, 20-push-ups, sit-ups
-Take a cold shower(I know that it's not easy, but after that I feel like a boss!)

I think the getting up early have most impact for my life currently. Especially when you getting up about 5 a.m on weekends and you see all the people who was in the pub and then when they getting up, you are after a gym, pool and some creative work-That feeling it's awesome, you have to try this:)

I think that this week will be great for me. Today I played another 1000 hands and if everything will be all right I should reach more than 8000 which will be a great amount of hands for me.

MISHMASH

I'm thinking about improving my skill writing, because I still make a lots of mistakes so I have to find some good way to improve this aspect of English.
I think that I create some blog in English of course, but I wondered about topic which I should pick.
I have to choose a topic which I can write everyday about this, so I have to thinking about that.

My wedding is closer and closer so I;m really excited about that, because I know the after the wedding many things will change. Currently together with my fiance, we have only one room and it's hard to get up early and start learn English out loud, or just play the poker, but after the wedding we will have 2 rooms so that will be awesome:)

Today I have busy day like always, because currently I'm in work and I finish at 1:30 p.m and I go straight to meeting about financing my English lessons, because like you know I attend to Speak up and there is a possibility that I will be have this lessons for free so that would be awesome.\
Then my kids play a match so I have to go with them of course and just after the match I go straight on my English lessons and about 9 p.m I'm free, so 2 glass of wine with my fiance and that will be end of my day:)

Hi:)

POKER

Everything goes according to plan, so I think I will reach 8000 hands in this week, which would be great. Today I played 1100 hands and I meet some fishes so it's was easy to take dollars from them:D

I know that I told you that I don't have time for study poker, but in another hands it would be awesome, if I made about 4$ per hour, but I know that sounds silly because if I want to earn much more dollars I have to spend many of hours on study (maybe in the winter I try on more time attack the NL5)

MISHMASH

Yesterday we won the match 8-1 so I'm proud of "my" kids.

Today I have busy day again, because just after the work I go straight to dancing lessons with my fiancé, then I go on training with kids and then I go for shopping because I need some stuff on my weeding, so again I woke up 5:10 a.m and I come back to home about 9 p.m-it's nice!:)

I know if I want to achieve something I have to have discipline and after watchning this movies, when I want eat some sweets, or I don't want to run or just study English, I remember this video and that give me a lots of motivation:) I really recommend this!

Today I have second shift in my work, so... I got up at 5:30! a.m, and I played very good session. I was focused all the time during the game, and the results was really good I think. When I'm focused on the game for 100% then I play better, I think creatively, I don't commit any stupid mistakes and I just enjoy playing poker then.

Currently I have 5600 played hands so I'm pretty sure that I can reach my little goal for this week, which is 8000 hands.

MISHMASH

This week should be great, because tomorrow I go to work, but only on 4 hours from 6 a.m to 10 a.m, then I go straight to one of the important match for the team where I was playing. We play against team number 1 in our league and our team is on 2 place and we have 2 points to them, so that match will be so excited I guess.I keep my fingers for my team and I will be support them from tribune.

After the match I will to the fishing, and like you know that is my hobby so time from 1 a.m to 6 p.m will be great as well.

After fishing I go to Kraków to my close friend to watch the final match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool, so that will be great time also.

I don't have and specific plans for Sunday, but I have to planned whole Sunday because when I don't play my day, I wake up late and I wonder all the time what I should do. On Sunday I usually focus on spending my time with Fiance(she has a bachelorette party on Saturday, this is why I don't spend time with her in Saturday).

I like get up early, finish my little task like poker, study English, play the football with my friends on 8 a.m and about 10 a.m I'm free, so then I'm focused on spending active time with my fiancé, so we usually go to cycling or making some barbeque etc. so this weekend sounds perfect for me!

Great week for you:)

My approach to poker today was really good, but when I lunch the Poker Stars client and I wanted play zoom like always it's doesn't work:(

When I click "play now" the tables just don't open:(

Always when I lunch the Pokerstars I see some advertisement, but today I don't see.

I have no idea how I can fix that, so I don't know that I can play poker today, and that will be sad because I wanted achieve my goal, which was 8000 hands per week:)

MISHMASH

Today I finish work really soon because on 9 a.m and I go straight with my dad for vodka for my wedding. I bought 170 bottle of vodka, so I hope that it's enough, but like you know we drink a lots of vodka, so I'm not sure that this amount of vodka it's enough:)

Yesterday evening my coach called me, and he tell my that the team "need me", because few players can't play through some injury, so I will help them as much as possible of course:)

I'm productivity person, but like everyone I need always some rest, and I don't rest by sleep or just watch TV, I rest by fishing, cycled etc. so today just after the match I go fishing and if I catch some fish I will make some photos for you:)

I'm big fan of Real Madrid, but also I like Liverpool, I think many of you guys will support Liverpool and that it's great:) I think the chance between Real Madrid and Liverpool are 50/50 so promises to be very interesting match:)
