The past, now and the future vol.2

 In my previous post I didn't mention that English is not my strongest side.

I will make as soon as possible some new pictures from my house, until then going to talk little bit about the Islands what did I visited last month.

Chiang Mai to Hat Yai, Hat Yai to Pak barra, Pak barra to Koh Lipe. 

Chill at the beach

Few pictures from the bungalow where I stayed 3nights.

Can obviously grind there aswell!

After Koh Lipe back to Hat Yai airport, flight to Bangkok, Bangkok to Ekkamai station, Ekkamai to Rayong. All this took 15hours, and still didn't get there where I wanted. It was midnight and I was lucky that I asked some info from local farang. He told me that you'll need to walk 50m and you'll see the hotel!

Hotel, 1night in aircon room was 400baht, which is 9€ (tho fan-room was 300baht)

 Bed wasn't that great, BUT..

You can always relax and watch some TV!

Next morning I arrived to Ko Samet

The island was mostly full of tourist stuff, expensive as always. The beach was nice :)




2nights there and finally before New year back to home! Wasn't good start of the year because made some problems with my girl, that happens and lots of other interesting info from her which made my work little bit harder than I was expecting. You can't grind when you're trying to fix your IRL problems, or having some issues outside from poker.

I setted decent goals for the year/month and after thouse problems was really hard to start working, studying. So that's why I said before that having some hard times in real life and online.

Luckily im almost in the pace of my goals right now and everything going better than before. Writing down my monthly goals down below:


[ ] 200-250 hours
[ ] Down to B-game
[ ] Back to 200NL
[ ] 2h+ handreview per week (4x month)
[ ] 10-12 pokkerivideos (3x week)
[ ] 100,000+ hands
[ ] 45k vpps (35-40k would be also good)
[ ] Write down the financial outlay
[ ] View my process
[ ] Weekly plans & goals
[ ] 20hours of mindset videos (5h per week)
[ ] Reserved time 1-5h day (mostly 1-2h)
[ ] Communication
[ ] Quit smoking
[ ] Mental game of poker (read again and conspect)

I'm looking them right now and can say atleast 75% going right was as I wanted.

Alright, that's enought with this post. On my next post I will try to write more about poker and post some interesting hands from this month.

Cheers, and good luck with your plans and goals!

The past, now and the future vol.1

Hi guys!

It's been a while since my last update. A lot of things have happened, so I have a lot to write.

Since I moved into Chiang Mai (Thailand), it's being hard/hardest times for me. First of all writing little bit about poker. Long story short, been running awful, playing awful and the results are awful. Basically for me 3 months breakeven.

Got bored by playing fullring, so I decided to play 200NL 6m zoom. Watched videos, studied every day. Obiously for fullring player thouse swings are crazy, and my mindset wasn't ready for thouse ones.

Definitely some hands are missing + one day was FR200zoom running so.. results are down here:

200NL Zoom 6m

After this I moved back and back between Zoom and FR, my head was going to explode because I really didn't know what to play. I really love agression and Zoom, but mindset cannot handle with thouse swings.

Anyways, for confidence I played FR and time to time Zoom 100NL 6m. Here's Zoom 6m 100NL graph

100NL Zoom 6m

Moving on, writing little bit about my life and what's been happening past 3 months.

Moved into Chiang Mai at the beginning of October. At first I didn't know anything about Chiang Mai, all I knew was that everyone told me that this place is perfect for pokerplayer. So we arrived to CM, and moved into Smith Residence which is located 1-2min from the gate (city central). Location was really good, really didn't need to rent a bike which I did. Few times out, meeting with Chiang Mai grinders and moved at the end of October into grindershouse.

How my setup looked like:

House was awesome! Everything brand new, everything! Location little bit outside from city, which is good for grinder like me. Maybe few weeks later my friend from Estonia named "RudiTurbo" arrived to Chiang Mai for visiting me and my friend. Before going to Bangkok we went out with bunch of people/grinders. Good times, until my heart saw amazing beautiful girl and I was fistbump in love... Last time it happend 7-8years ago.

Anyways, obiously being with girl took my time and had to say "good bye my sweet volume". I didn't put much volume after meeting/being with girl. We had so much great time together, and still have ;) I will post some pictures here down below:

Outside form Chiang Mai city.

Loy Krathong festival.

Visiting Hua Hin, and had some relaxing time.

Before Hua Hin, we visited my friends from Estonia in Bangkok. Had good times, but still unhappy with Bangkok and proud of myself that im living in Chiang Mai.

Before Im talkig about other Island trips I wanted to write about what happend before that. Few days before meeting with sister and parents we went out with girl to market place. Lots of food, clothes and everything cheap. Was asking from girl about one husky dog week before we went to market and when we get there I saw they are selling ones. Was soo stoked and didnt believe myself of buying one.. which I did. Went back to home and suprise suprise, house rules were saying "no pets", unfortunately. So we had to move out as soon as possible, if I wanted to keep the dog. Thank god I got amazing gf who were searching in her home area some houses for rent and found one. Next day we went to look and took it. The price of house is insane - 230€month. 3bedroom, kitchen, BBQ area, parking area (closed with gate), 2 toilets, living room, + furniture included. Still very happy about this one, I will post pictures in my next post.

Trying to do it after few hours or later today. About my blog and blogpost: I will keep this blog alive, cannot happen like it happen before. I will update it weekly, maybe even more!

                    Heya boys and girls!



I wanna make it really simple: just please update your blog once a week with pictures, fun stories and some pokerstuff.

Im living in Thailand, so You should expect more and more and more updates right? Yes

BUT, Ive been lazy. No motivation, no goals just boring life. Atleast this month.

Okey, I'm moving to past. Lets take last month - September!


Started with my trip to Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur. I was doing visa run, not much talk about KL. I didn't have much time to look around + the city had massive traffic, so I stayed at hotel most of time and grinded before semi-vacation.

Some pictures from Kuala Lumpur.

Subway airport to citycenter (35 Malaysian ringgit ticket)

Searching some place for staying :/

Finally got it, view from hotel window

Business street

 Big electronic store/mall

That was good!

 New hotel, better wifi, making some $

 Streets

After Kuala Lumpur went back to home, Koh Phangan (L). Relaxed/grinded few days..

and moved out to Ko Samui

and we rented sweet villa in Chaweng

I don't have much more pictures because I was really lazy doing it :( 

I met new guys/grinders from England

Picture is taken @ Icebar

And played football with Slovakians

We had great time together, like watching thai-boxing..

I will continue posting pictures and pokerstuff in next post, i think its too much in this one :D

cheers!

August and past

My goals for the month was extremly next level. After few (2,3) BE stretch/swingy months (300k hands) I decided to work as much as possible. Moster working started end of July. I was so sick of this swings and I said to myself "Im going to lock the door and work until I get good results, no matter how long it takes"

So im posting July hours, and as you can see at the end of month "minutes played"

As I said my goals for August were extremly next level.

[x] 300h playing
[x] 100h improvment / more than that
[meh] updates, sometimes
[no] abs treening
[semi] NO HEADS UP! Semi-success!
[] Do couple coaching sesh
[semi] Healty food / Going slowly, mostly eat healty food (1x chips )
[yes/no] Taking days off (2-3), taking breaks mid session. Didnt take any day off, took breaks mid session.


@2p2 forum I get decent feedback, some good some bad. The main question comes from: Why Im doing this when Im young. 

"I thought the whole point of playing poker was so that you could work less while you're young? This might be just my opinion but I think you're doing it wrong :/"

I agree and disagree. The whole point of playing poker is not that you could work less. Nothing comes easially. You still have to work. Word "work" means - doing something for something - reason. 

Reason for success is: doing what to you love to do. 

If you have time, ask from your friends: How much they love their work? I bet most people who are not loving their jobs, they are always watching the clock when this bs is over. And the same thing is with poker, many grinders just grind, set up their finishing time (like 2PM) and after finishing- thank god its over. I find its wrong. 

Why im doing this so much? Dont you have another life? Dont you enjoy your life? 

I do, I enjoy my life a LOT! Just loving it.

Before you buying something, before you going somewhere, before you eat desert, YOULL NEED TO DESERVE IT!

Example is very easy. Small children likes to eat sweet stuff, but parents are always saying eat first your meal and then youll get desert.

So before I meet some people from my studygroup, I wanted to work as much as possible and after that I deserve rewards. Going to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, for visa-run. So exited, because im going alone and have to do things by myself. After that back to Koh Phangan, 5 days here aand then Im ready for see my buddies. We are renting villa in Ko Samui and defnitely gonna hve some good times.
