Hey ho boys and girls,
My name is Steven from Romania, I am studying Computer Science in Bucharest, I am 20 years old and I love this game.
I started playing poker with the starting capital in april and I didn't go busto with those moneyz.I managed to grow them in my current NL10 bankroll.
I decided to make the second and final blog I hope.
This time I will not put pressure on me with huge goals, I will try to learn and play as much as I can.
Of course my long term plan is to ship it big time, win loads of cash and have a great life,but at the moment I need to work really hard and will try to focus on the present time and enjoy the ride to success.
It was a bit of a crazy november,had 3 shots to NL10 that failed really bad.
Main reason for that wasn't the fact that I don't have the knowledge to beat it,it was the fact that I was tilting very easily at this new limit when I was getting a bad beat or some sick setups against maniacs mainly.
But after like 3 shots in november, I didn't give up so I continued to play,I moved my 190$ roll from FTP to PartyPoker, played NL4 and left like 10$ on full tilt.
With those 10$ I managed to make it to around 60$ and with the rush week I made them to 110$.
2 of those 3 shots look like this...the third one I lost my database due to windows format.

Before my december shot to NL10 I had 314$ and a 270$ bonus waiting to be unlocked.
I decided to take another shot and this time I think I will do it fine .This is the graph so far for december at NL10.

I am pretty unhappy with the red line but people don't fold a lot at this limit so I try to vbet as a monkey with my good hands.
At the moment my roll is at 378$ and with a 270$ bonus to be unlocked.
I think I will do it fine at NL10 from now on.
My objectives now are to play 3 hours of 6 to 9 tables every day, as I can't afford more hours at the moment with my University which is really hard and I also need to pay attention to my girlfriend
When I get more free time I will play more.
I am also posting at least 2 hands every day on the evaluation forum as I will need every piece of advice that I can get.
After today's session I feel really great because my mindset has improved a lot,I am not feeling that bad when I get a 2 outer bad beat for 1 stack, I am starting to feel comfortable at this limit.
So:
3 hours+/day 6 to 9 tabling shorthanded
at least 2 hands for evaluation
I will try to update as much as I can.
Good luck to everyone.
Steven.
