I know deep in myself that I can and I Will achieve my goals !

Sit down and follow me !!!



Now you probably ask yourself who da f*** is this guy Well let me write some cliffs !

Introduction :

My name is Daniel and I am 26 years old... I am coming from Zagreb (capital of Croatia), typicall guy who is just another college dropout and who got in love from the first date with poker...
In poker world Im better known as BugsBunnyD (stars) and i have been everywhere from sngs, cash games, spins to todays format which Im playing MTTS ! I am playing poker "seriously" since 2013
so lets do a small recap.

<<< Late 2013 - 9 man hypers
So I started here from the bottom Ive receieved staking deal from Jordan Rich (Octavian_C) and started registering from 1,5$ where i ended up at some point playing normally up to 30$ and cherry picking 60$ when I look back
at that point poker was gold mine... But one thing which we must accept is that we cant live in our past and on old glory...

<<< 2014 - Still 9 man hypers ocasionally adding some MTTs
That year was really rough and had bunch ups and downs... First time achieved supernova and decided to go for 200k vpps which kinda brought me into bad spot and I first time digged into 5 digits MU which led to depression and
isolation from society... From that story I really learned alot and got some good lessons...
In mid of 2014 my backer Octavian_C had to drop all players from his stable and at that point we got sold to one german poker player and I continued with hypers&mtts and ended up in december clearing that MU when Ive achieved
millestone etc... My german staker was high stakes cash player and he demanded that all of us move to cash and I had big decision to make on which I regret every time i look back at it, tho real truth is - who knows what would happen
So during 2014 I was working on my game with Aaron Barone (abarone68) for hypers and he offered me staking deal which I rejected as I was in kinda mindset where I was depressed and had enough of hypers and variance.... So my german backer told us
that he will help us with our game and that cash games arent that hard...

<<<2015 - Cash game nl25-100 cherry picking nl200 mostly eurosites was better known under screenname "TrollFest"
So Ive took a deal as I thought well this guy is good hes gonna help me and its time to move to real poker which for me is still cash games and 100bbs But fact that this backer was doing ton diffrent bussiness stuff and he was getting out of poker to trading
He really didnt have time and he got us coach who was playing mostly on eurosites and IMO he was quite shady when it comes to approaching to player and he wasnt good at transfering knowledge so I was quite fast out of that deal cause it was making me quite unhappy
Later I had short staking deal w Seb Karlsson but he had to drop stable so I decided for some time to play on my own and that actually went well....

<<<2016/2017 - MTTs
Ive started playing mtts and ive ended my deal w TPS and moved to friends stable (markan991) where things were doing quite good up to 35$ so Ive got moved to games which I wasnt able to beat and got crushed at higher stakes so in mid of 2017 I had situation where
I was sitting at 19,7k MU and my backer decided to sell me so I bought myself out for 5k.... And in may 2017 i made a deal w Aaron to join psyduck where Im playing now...

As you see there was alot of ups and downs but what I can say is that for the first time i feel good and happy with my stable/boss... I also met personally Aaron who came in Zagreb in may and hes really helping me alot with my game so If i push myself into right direction
you ll definetly see me on many final tables....

About main goal:

At the moment my main and most important goal is to work my ass off and just listen to Aarons advices and try to improve my game, tho in terms of evBB/100 I already doubled my winrate which is 11,48 on 170k hands and before I came to his stable i had around 6-7 so progress is good but
thing is that for some reason my game is having swings and certainly im not playing always my A game...Once I do these things Im sure Ill be ready to move up in limits and stop being average bad reg


Other goals :

First two are about getting rid of bad habits and other two are more about my hobbies

So last sunday i had breakdown where Ive tilted off during my session and thankfully it was early so I decided to unregister everything and take day off go somewhere and think about my acts and what the **** I want from my life.... I came to conlusion that my side income actually took over my "poker career"
and that I am actually happy by that what made me sad as I always wanted to live from my own poker skills and not by affiliate job and getting lucky by binking from buying other peoples action...

1. Stop smoking weed
Over the last two years I pretty much always played high where I would light up few joints and sometimes it would feel great but actually main reason why Im stuck w my game and have mental swings during grind is cause I played always high...
So from this point I want to grind w calm head and actually think more during gameplay and see where that goes...

2. Loose more weight / hit gym regulary eat clean and feel happy !
At start of this year I was really disgraceful where ive got on 03.01.2017 my weight came up to red area and I was standing at scale with my 129,9kg so from that date I started going to gym every week 5 times and once a week go somewhere in nature and mostly it would be mountaineering and around may ive lost
17kgs but then I had again problem where ive stopped going to gym for 5 weeks and gained 4 kgs...
Last weighing was on monday 17.07.2017 and I had 114,8kg plan is to drop to 95-100kg by the end of this year and later on work more on gaining muscles...

3. Go to Thailand in early January 2018
I always wanted to travel around the world and my biggest wish as destination is Thailand but most important is that I want to get introduced to new cultures so I believe thats perfect place to start with that journey

4. Learn more about trading world / cryptocurrencies
Atm Ive invested some money in BTC,ETH & Zcash and Im willing to make some kind of skype group where we would talk about news from that world, what are next good potential investments and how to trade with them...



So which are my goals for rest of 2017 :

Work harder! Mainly studying off the table and focus on improvement

Put volume ! Plan is to grind extra 3-3,5k mtts by the end of the 2017

Earn 20k $ which is imo realistic goal and I will give 4x 50$ freeroll if I fail on this (claim it by posting Im in for freeroll)

Be active member of 2+2 community

Update my blog atleast once a week pokerwise and lifewise things !

Also here is my graph since Ive joined PsyDuck staking atm IM playing mostly mtts up to 44$ but I started also playing at 888 with same nickname....




Cheers and I wish you all good luck at tables

Thanks for reading this !!!

Edit: Not first.

Love these threads, especially when they're from people I know and/or stake. If you don't know Daniel, in addition to being a horse of mine, he's a cool guy and was super helpful in getting me set-up/acclimated to Zagreb.



Obv rooting for you, let's crush the rest of 2017

(claim it by posting Im in for freeroll)

Pretty sure someone could survive in a third world country simply by grinding this PG&C subforum and claiming all the freerolls.

Herro and best of ruck!!

How was your Sunday?

Hello guys so weekend is behind us and lets do small summary...

To stop smoking weed was one of mine better decisions so far this year and I plan to stay away from it tho need to stop cigarettes also, one of worse habits which came with weed is smoking cigarettes and I can say you that they are even worse in terms of addiction then weed...

Also did weighing and Im sitting on my ass with 112,6kg so we lost some water and few grams here and there... Gym is one of mine top priorites so need to hit it regulary....

Now lets leave all that **** behind and lets talk about Poker

Highlights of weekend :
7,50$ 6max pko finished 6th
33$ speedway finished 16th
11$ hyper finished 2nd
22$ 6max pko finished 14th
10k payday phase 2 finished 3rd

So as you see we had quite productive weekend and plenty deeps and one serious result Im quite happy how things are going and Im confident with my game and need to review alot of HHs this week cause there was alot of mistakes and learn from them to get even better...


I dont know If im going to grind today still feeling a bit tired first thing is to go to my favorite restaurant in Zagreb "Pri Zvoncu" with my friend Branimir whos also playing poker and who was yesterday quite near of a nice score in sunday warmup where he finished 7th and after that head to gym and realise whats next....

I hope you all had good sunday as I did and hear ya again soon !

Nice score in the phase and all the other finishes running well

I wanted to ask, I see you have played 2k mtts since May or so, how many mtts do you play at the same time and what kind of a multi tabling soft are you using, if any?

"You was never average man, it was just the weed keeping us down"

Now the true nature of you, will present itself.

Gonna be cool to see.

Do you ever make any videos of your play would be nice to watch a video of you playing for instance in one of those you went deep in last week.

Thanks bro

I would say Im feeling good with 8 tables more then that Im certainly getting in automatic way of playing but thing is that I grind 5,5 day a week usually taking friday off and depending how I feel on monday I decide to play or not and my sessions are starting quite early.... I start around 2-3pm w b27 and my last slow structured mtt is 27 pko which starts at 10pm tho my last mtt is h7,5 as I get later in session i add only turbos.... So far I dont use any softwares but as I recently started at 888 which is giving me headaches cause of their betsizes and ****ty software in general Im thinking maybe to get stack&tile but will decide If ill continue w 888 or drop it so far....
On a side on sundays i get up to 12-14 tbls Im fine w those numbers more then that nowadays is just loosing edge imo.... Tho good thing is that im used to play higher number of tables but Im aware quality is over quantity....

Thanks blondie <3

Nah so far Im not interested tho was always thinking to start streaming on twitch but have other priorites atm in my life.... Need to drop weight and get my self in shape so maybe in future.

Thanks for replying. I have recently started playing on 888 also and its nightmare software wise. I would highly recommend 888caption for bet sizes, changing the table layout a little bit and automatic table positioning.

It has so many more functions but I think these are the most useful ones

thanks for headsup ill check it, I am thinking maybe to start some type of mtt skype group as I know how to work with these groups I had started 2 years ago one for cash which is still nowadays quite activish but would be accepting only people who are playing for living... interested contact me on skype (bugsbunnyd)
Good luck guys today !
