incredible interview, thx for posting,
i managed to watch it just on 5 takes or so, each time needed a small break from gnawing my nails from anxiety of how am i wasting my days
@Ash,Gerv,r4zor: sorry i didnt say goodbye, i forgot the time a bit and then was in a hurry for my cab. Hope to see u again soon guys and have fun.. Yea, a cab to BA deffo the best, know quite classy mercedeses, which give cheap rides, it's more of a small family-company, nice class, good speed, high reliability. 40mins from the doors of my apartment to the center of Vienna :), they even notify by sms that they have come, rly like that.
@Cornie: hope to make the vids this week, is the deadline end of march rly? not sure i can manage all 5 in that time, but talk to u on skype later.. should be available today (tue)

Happy bday TLN!
hello all,sorry for not updating for a while, got very little time or energy as of lately. One good reason was that i have been undergoing a series of medical examinations, most of which ofc take place early in the morning. This totally destroyed several of my days in past 2weeks since I had to shift my sleeping schedules back and forth for 3-4h which u can bet was extremely hindering for my poker. Alright, but I have just 2 more visits 2 go before esentially whole of my body was tested. There were several findings, none of which seems to be extremely limithing though, phew :). There was a good chance i had a starting astma, which I certainly dont have though, and i have seriously damaged cartillage in my knees (esp left one), but the good thing is that it can be artificially substituted, most effectively by a series of some injections directly to the knee joint, which i am already undertaking.
I was not able to run the halfmarathon now as planned-was today. I will try and train for the right next running competition, which should be 10km. Will post updates later perhaps.
As for poker, i have played very badly last few days. There were stretches when i played prolly my E game. Who cares.. I just said to myself: i need to play no matter how i play coz i just can’t stand I am just not playing and I actually really enjoyed playing even though I played pretty damn bad, many new interesting spots have arisen. From what I can tell, almost everyone on NL1k+ is now adjusting fairly well. Even the nitfest Leatherass changed up his game during this month a lot – i so much hate him- he is 4bet bluffing so ridiculously often, but he alw picks the best spots, but I am already done folding to him. He also started 3betting just 2.5x size ip, which seems to be a new upcoming fashion in NL SH games. The idea to counter common 4bet bluffs which it induces tho is to be calling 4bets ip and play it kindof PLO style. Need to incorporate that into my game too. There are other specific spots which I found ppl are just fighting for so much, but will keep it to myself, hope I can abuse ppl. The bottom line surely is: the game is getting fascinatingly analytical and NL1k 1 year ago and now is incomparable imo. When sb doesn’t work on his game, he just gets absolutely smashed to his face..
Anyway, new day, new beginning :f_grin:. I was analysing for a combined of 8h last 2days and i am starting to feel some powerrr again. I deffo need to take it a bit easier tho for next few days still as i feel a lot off my Agame.
What else: hmm.. Dag Palovic allegedly declined my challenge, so seems like noone in Slovakia will play me anymore. I most likely try to challenge Czech rep. If things go according to plan. The highlight of the upcoming week has to be the WPT Bratislava which I am going to play. I hope to review a lot of vids and esp some push/fodling charts coz I am deffo not playing optimally esp w 20bb- stacksizes.Abt moving up the lims: I am some 30% behind my schedules of approaching NL5k (actually 2k as a reg first), it could be worse though, but now there will be a lot of time to just play and practice, play and practice and again, esp the whole April and May, when my gf also will have her exams and sofar it seems like ntg can stop me from playing my volume-highs, certainly for last 1,5year. Looking to make 60k hands/month and make as much cash as I can. I will most prolly start posting weekly graphs/specific updates starting from the next week. I think I will try to go for 120k+ hands till 1.5. and the wr profit goal would be 100k$+.
RL reflection aka FML I am not young anymore?!I have been travelling in public transportation a bit more than usual over last few weeks and it's 1 of the best places for me to reflect on myself, on my life, plans etc.. I never rly celebrate my bday much esp coz when the day comes, I always get to realize how remarkably I wasted yet another year of my life. Generally I am very hard on myself and never rly rest on sth I ve already achieved. Yesterday I turned 25 tho and it feels like a bit more special rly. More than ever before I am confronted with the idea of ageing and stopping belonging to the youth class. Well, yea: the average age of a human on earth is 28, so saying I should be still considered young when 25 (lets say there are 3classes: young, middleadged and old), w avg life expectancy being well below 75 worldwide (67.2y, with just 65 for male) seems a bit more as a whishful thought now. For a moment I was a bit sad, but then seing the ppl commuting from work back home around me. Most stressed out, looking rly weary of the neverending circle of everyday obligations, complaining abt life, work, family relationships, I realized:
... hell: my life is amazing!I not only have a secured life for many years ahead, I also have a very healthy and high standard of living for a 25yo, I do only what I rly enjoy doing, I do sports, I travel when I want to, where I want to, I get up when I want to knowing I can turn any day to as much special as I can imagine (i am not generally too demanding nor spleshy at all tho :P). I know many awesomely supportive ppl
(thx guys), I have the best gf in the world abt which I dreamed since abt 14yo (with breaks tho, don't get too carried away
:heart:) , I have a family which accepts me and even tho there are deffo arguements at times, I rly appreciate them being emotionally close to me. I ve done many big mistakes in life I admit were downright irrational, I stumbled so many times esp on roads of purpose of life, education or relationships, I ve underachieved or given up on prolly 95%+ of goals I set to myself (i alw set just the ultimately biggest goals one can achieve in anything). I have felt like a big loser repeatedly, utterly dispirited, questioning purpose of my life, yet when I look at things in global, I must say I must have done sth right.. I don't feel like I can get content w myself at all tho, so many opportunities in life and so little time..
I also realized that the general life expectancy thing is a piece of crap rly. Firstly, obv I shouldn't take worldwide population into account, I could distinguish by country (avg in svk: 74.2), but more relevant would be due to income (=healthy lifestyle) i guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_curve ;
so.. I figured my current life expectancy has to be ~90yTherefore I can have this classification system:
MY LIFE PLAN:There is time for everything in life obv, everytime there is sth else which we might love and enjoy doing, find purpose in doing.
0-30 YOUNG aged. Since I am still young
, I need to esp enjoy it, live somewhat wild, perhaps irrational at times, esp passionate! and try to get the best performance from my body and brain then I ll ever be able to after. My more specific goals include: get to be a "pro sportsman"-basically just compete at the pro level, be in the "zone"! love it! :f_love:, travel around the world, get the perfect fitness body (♦ damn.. i never realized i wanted to have it, but snap: why not? it's joy to be working out for me and doing sports and I will never ever have the opportunity to feel rly sexy or have an 8pack when having a family later; getting finance supplies for all my life+ my family. Basically I want to rly work hard and prepare for:
30-60 MIDDLE aged. This is going to be mostly family time and trying to figure out how RL works too :). Settle down a bit, enjoy the depth of relationships, esp my wife, have children, be a good father, husband, learn to be max. rational and responsible person for others. Do some fulfilling work as a means of promoting society, also some business potentially. Esentially a RL organized shark period.
60-90 OLD aged. I rly rly look forw to this time too. This time I will spend figuring philosophical things out. I will travel a lot again, meet people, get to know cultures, study religions, lead philosophical debates, concluding deep answers, maybe writing a book and potentally repent and try to make up for all my former sins
. I have lost 3 years of my YOUNG productive life doing this and it was a mistake, waste of time, now I know, this is not the time to be solving these things now, i am not mature or experienced enough to be able to judge honestly abt such themes. I aslo want to play games again in this time. Physical shape will go on a massive downswing :(, so to not get sad, I think I ll have to start competing again. Playing chess then seems now as an excellent idea paired up w the travelling.
looking forw to this life.. will be such a thrilling and fulfilling venture.
Now off to analyse a bit and then plaing my B+ game hopefully at least. No HU today! (fml, i lost a lot coz i start agromatches when ppl just call me down, rly regret playing these nits i thought i d overplay)
Hey,
After you posted in my blog I checked this out and I have to say I love your blog so far its just a great read, I will be definitely following this.
GL&HF
great post man!

It's time to get here:
and btw: You're not right about not being able to do serious workout later while having family.. There're a lot of ~40 years old men who visit gym 3-5 times a week and some of them work out really hard (the most not but it's diff story^^). Sure, it's much easier to improve at your age, but if you workout regularly since young age, there's no problem to have a good looking body even in 60.
I even found pics of 79 years old men, but it's not that good looking (but still great compared to "standard" such old body).
Oh yeah: Happy birthday and live your life!
hey thx all for the support,
i played fair volume lately, esp analysed tho.
The life is not so amazing now tho: After a sudden turn in events today, i was diagnosed heavy alergic astma.
no comment, no worries, just now figuring out how cleaner breathing feels like (after taking some of the inhalators which i was prescribed to be using from now on).. fml.. no wonders i was so out of breath during running
anyway.. tomorrow i am starting in WPT Bratislava.. hope to at least get warmed up welll before i play some high cg in there after :).
Today also ve been to Chinese massage after my regular swimming + sauna. Omg! So much pain at first. I thoght I d never pay for it again, but here I am now pondering abt a 60min procedure now. Rly good for ur cervical spine. They dont use any gel, just sheer brute force. Anyhow, it was interesting.
gn, gl. Need to watch few WPT events on pokertube prolly to get to know what level of play i should be awaiting 2moro ♦. never played such a big MTT before.
btw: Opal: sorry, but for the next week, we have to postpone it for later, changed my plans a bit. For the crazy parkour workout i like the vid:
anyone wants body like his? 
Dont forget its WPT BRATISLAVa so u should expect lower lvl than usual IMO
GL
About Chinesse massage, did u get that in that hotel Nivy u go to? Did it really take 1 hour? wow
My muscles hurt just from watching that vid ...

OK, no problem.. Gd luck @ WPT!
small update after day 1:
what looked like an early busto (11k chips before level2 ended) turned into 30mins till end of the day chipleader of whole day w almost 120k chips, just to again bluff off a lot of it, 30k alone in the very last hand. now 64k, 13th out of 59 going through, which is still playable and decent over avrg. I terrorized the table a bit, was the most active there w 1 other guy who i got to know is some German highprofile pro, made big bluffs, some stupid, some worked, some nice traplines, some stupid traplines... but I feel like i have by far biggest troubles playing w amateurs. Just dont have enough exp, they rly dont respect me, they ofc cannot handread and I pay dearly for some of my lines.. have to get ready for them on fri. I am going ftw obv.
