Hey guys,
my name is Ondra, i'm 18 years old and come from Czech Republic. I started to play poker when i was 17, like many people, on facebook. I really felt in love with the game. After i became more familiar with the game, i started to play for play money on full tilt. I was playing the 27 men sng and was in the "money" almost everytime, so i asked my brother if i could try to play on his real money account on bwin. I did really well, and because he had to focus on school rather than on poker, he told me that he'll leave me 10 USD there so i can play and that he's going to withdraw the rest.
After one month playing SSS there, i managed to reach 60 bucks, which was a big success for me. Then i was on a downswing, couldnt really handle the situation and lost all the money in a week. I was playing games i shouldnt have been playing. But I think it gave me a really good lesson that made me much better player. I learned about the importance of BRM and self control.
Then i learned about pokerstrategy, registered there exactly on my 18th birthday and passed the quiz and got my capital deposited on Party. I did well there too, but i stopped playing there, because i really didnt like the site (the rake is sky high, tournaments just suck, software isnt as good as at FTP's and the lobby is a mess).
Then i came across a site that offers free capital on Absolute poker, so i said, why not, i'll give it a try, i hope it'll be better than PP. The software is really good, there are really great tournaments, cash games are quite easy to beat. Now, after one month, i have 116 USD (about 91 bucks profit), thanks to 2nd and 4th place in one buck tourney and some good cash game results. I'd like to cash out these money though, so i can play on my favourite site - FTP.
So, there are my goals:
For 2010:
-Play 5k raked hand so i can withdraw the money from AP
-Deposit on FTP, play NL5 (I'll use bit more conservative BRM, 32 BI)
-Beat NL5 and maybe reach NL10 at the end of the year (it's not really likely though, because i'll have a tough year at school)
-Improve my game
For 2011:
-Obv to reach NL10 and crush it.
-Reach NL25 by the end of the year and do the same
-Improve my game
Lifetime goals:
-Improve my game
-Earn enough FT points to buy that sweet Mini Cooper
-Play at Poker after dark and smack Shanna Hiatt's ass ♠_love:
-Call Phil Hellmuth's raise with QT, K8. T4 and 57 and watch his reaction
-Play against Sammy Farha, Doyle, Antonio Esfandiari, Vanessa Rousso, Eli Elezra, Durrrr, Phil Galfond and Ivey at the same table.
I hope i'll uptade my blog often enough and i also hope you'll like my blog.
