Feel pretty safe and confident abt my game atm. Feels like easy game (it's NL2 )
Yeah NL2 seems very fishy i think you can play NL5 seccessfully just if ya have right BR saw the NL5 fail once in previous posts but thats just 4.5k hands so sh** happens. I dont know how many tables you playin if you ussualy play 7-8 take a shot w only 4 tables running if ya play 4 then 2 and so on but be 100% concentrated and have a stop loss set so you can quit befero it gets tilty 
Ok GL i am watching you ♦

Tnx, man! 
Nice to see som1 still foloows me!
Actually I don't play since ~ 20th march. I'm pwninning uni atm (I just have to 
), and I discovered smth. about my mindset: I found out that I don't tilt very much cuz of poker beats that happen at table, I'd rather tilt cuz of uni (which doesnt allow me to play so many hours of poker I'd like to),I'm playing and I know I must get up early every day to get to uni studies/practise and that bothers a lot. I must study hard just to get through the studies.
anyway, I have to pwnin uni till ~ mid-june, so obv I'm coming back that time to tables.
and I often play 4 tables, very rare 6 tables, so I don't miss small edges and spots even it's NL2 I'm playing.
But thing is one, at least for me: poker + uni = -EV
But I'm rather bi-winning than whining! ♦
But I have some thoughts in my mind, which I wanna put in practise when summer/end of uni hits.
''But thing is one, at least for me: poker + uni = -EV''
Yeah the same for me but have chosen to play poker more and go to uni when i have time. I know its bad for uni and its getting worse there but poker wise its going up and i have free time to watch some videos play more and i feel more relaxed during the day without uni. As they say life is too short to go to uni ♦ bad thing is that i dont have such intrest in uni that i have in poker so its easier expect someting out of poker that uni atm for me.

I'd like to have that option in my uni.
Our uni doesn't accept/allow that option. OK, it accepts, but then you'll be bust out of uni pretty soon.

Hi guys!
(if anybodys reading this, lol)
Havent post here like 12 years or so ♦ What has changed, whats goin on?! - I'm still in uni, my last year at uni has come. My practise has started 5 days ago. Gonna be a physiotherapist. This is what my day consists of:
I'm doing massage:
Practise as medical gymnastics trainer:
+ some other medical stuff.
had a tough previous year, had hard time to "digest with mind" some things from medical world. But I'm doing this uni, cause I'm more sports (sports medicine, work out strategy) oriented than classical hospital medicine. I have to finish uni this year (summer, june 2012), so I can do this more sports related and not so deep medical that my uni pressures me to do (had many sleepless nights digesting stuff I had to learn, and still have to).
Poker.
have understood many things. mostly aboy myself - mindset, character and why I act the way I do. Have studied poker (read Killl Everyone + bunch of BOND18's articles on MTTs by summer + some vids). But failing volume wise, since Im full uni student and my profession I'm studying in uni doesnt allows me a lack of focus and concentration (it just costs too much to do so, u know..). So dont have a good sample size to show something significant.
atm I'm grinding micro limit 90 mans, + some MTTs up to $11 (satellite my way to them, sunday storm is my favourite atm, though I busted 2 times there as a huge favourite, AA vs JJ AI pre he hit flush; QQ vs 77 AI pre obv set, but thats not enough games, just 2 lol)
I gave my laptop to my sister (she started uni as well this year), cause I used to grind/watch vids/read others poker blogs way too much. I did this so I can graduate my uni properly.
I played MTTs, MTTSNGs all summer, but just ~600 games, lol, (had to work at my home as well on summer, upgrading my home as well ♦ ). still micro guy, but posting bunch of hands on 2+2, and some here on ps as well to get better. I feel Im getting better deffo. I just love the game! the biggest so far was $108 back on june on FullTilt + like $100 from SNGs from tilt as well + $86 from small Stars MTT. lol. Though I played (am playing) much better than guys who busted me, I feel theres turning a big confidence in my game and I know I'll beat those large tourneys, just have to put in more volume. Now I'm only grinding on saturdays +some sundays. Other 5 days - uni.
I'm saving some money for a new super duper laptop + huge monitor:
Spoiler
Grinding zone ftw!
Wanna ship some really big money from poker, I know I havent had so high results so far, I havent stopped and am building my confidence and sharpening my game all the time. I'm pumped up all the time abt poker.
Spoiler
addicted degen
I used to spent too much time on poker when I had my laptop with me, but when I just have my home pc 2 days a week now, I think I'm using that time like 200% more effective, + now I spend more time with friends, go to gym, am more social active.
I dont know when I'm gonna post some more on blog. sometimes I'm just down mentally from the stuff I have to learn at uni. this time I posted things in pictures from my profession that I like/love the most, but theres other stuff as well, u know (a coin has 2 sides, yeah it has).
Bye guys!
your baaaaack! atcualy very good uni choice..it will be useful in everyday life.
Go to gym +1....New poker setup looks great.
Some good quote
"The more effort you put into something, the more you get in return."
Ok GL and wana see you crushing 
Hi guys!
