Today I visited the wonderful pokerhouse in Rijsbergen, 6 kilometers south of Breda, The Netherlands. See my blog of 9th of March.
I knew the house a bit for the past, because it was the elderly house of a friend of mine.
This afternoon his brother and sister were there and gave me the tour around the house and the garden.
It is really a very good house where we can live with 4 persons.
The garden is also perfect. Big beautiful trees around for privacy. In warm summernights we can sit outside.
Yesterday a new milestone, I reached a new peak in my bankroll.
In total my bankroll is now $302 
Poker House looks awesome! 
To bad i have to live with my gf 
See you are rocking those tables! Very nice! ♦

Evaluation 1st quarter 2019
My main goals for 2019:
- play 2 hours a day: DONE
- study 2 hours a week: DONE
- find a job: 2 applications at the moment
- improve the house: the case is pending. As the landlord is not willing to improve anything, I will request a lower rent.
- or move to another house: I visited the nice pokerhouse in Rijsbergen.

Yesterday Unibet gave me a present.
It was a flip-tournament, you start with 1 chip.
And the whole TN is all in shootout.
There were 650 players.
And you know what kind of roll??
I finished 4th!!!
That is something that will rarely happen, so that is very nice.
I received EU 5.50

Very bad mindset. Yesterday all the time losses with f.e. Set QQ versus straight.
Set AA vs straight.
2P vs straight.
Etc.
And this morning it continues, the players with vpip > 50 hit all the time and my better starting hands go into the muck.
My mood is very bad now. Living in a bad house with an irritating neighbor that always make noise in the morning and disturbs my sleep.
So again today not well rested, like so many times has happened because of the noise.
What are possibilities to improve my situation? At the moment I don't know anymore. I always hoped and expected to improve my situation, but everything stays the same, no matter how hard I study and try.
I read some good advice in the blog of Constantin11.
If things are difficult, try to deal with it and work your way out.
Like Rocky: it is not about how hard you hit, but about how hard you can be hit and still can keep moving forward.
Always I must keep conficence that I will earn money and will have a good house.
Hey, I'm glad someone found it inspiring to some extent.
I hope you overcome your difficulties and find yourself in a better place.
Cheers!
Thanks Constantin for your kind words. I hope you are doing fine.
I am very grateful that a friend offered me to spend the night from Saturday to Sunday in his house. So on Sunday I was rested again.
And in the evening I had a good run!

How can I become a winning player at NL25?
1 Restart studying to improve my skills
I will play Unibet to reach the GOLDstatus again.
So that I can start studying the new videos from W34z3l.
2 Continue to search a study-mate in Breda. Continue to look for some-one in the casino who has the same goal.
3 Optimizing my volume. For example learning to play already 1 hour in the afternoon. And don't tilt if I have bad beats.
If I only play in the evenings I cannot reach the necessary volume.
If I make more volume my bankroll will increase quicker and I can start to take shots at NL25.
4 Maybe joining a programm again? To improve my game in a more structured way.
I will start studying the series Fish Fryer from W34z3l when I will have reached Gold status again.
Today I watched the introduction about Identifying and Isolation of fishes.
At the table we always have to be aware about who are players that are weaker than us. They are the most important, because they will contribute the most to our bankroll.
So don't focus at other regs. And don't let your ego play a role.
Always think of your goal of making the most money in the most efficient way.
At the moment I have 288 points. I wil receive about 20 -25 points from 24th April. So I will have about 310 points.
Still 190 points to receive Gold. 6 days to go. That is 6 times 10 = 60 points that I will receive for free.
So I have to earn 130 points in 6 days. About 20 -25 points per day. If I work hard and without tilt it must be possible.
