Hey guys.

I'm David from Hungary and since I found chillin dudes goal thread for 2011 I thought it would be fun and also motivating to start a thread like that. After that I've read some other goal threads and there are some really interesting ones here. Hopefully this will be as well.

About me:

I'm playing poker for 4 or 5 years now and to be honest I'm not really happy with my overall results so far. I won some money but I could've won much more if I hadn't been so lazy. In the end of 2010 I decided to join a site (not sure I can mention that here) and that decision is the one I'll never regret. I was staked/coached for 18 man sng-s at the beginning of the year by entim then I switched to 180 mans because I thought I can make more money in those games, and to be honest winning a 180s feels much better than grinding 18s especially that I kinda sucked in them even though I learnt a lot from Tim (but I couldn't beat $16s then I couldn't beat $15s so my motivation was gone). When I started playing 180s, entim was still my coach for a while but we didn't have enough sessions during summer because I had IRL problems (my granny was sick) and Tim was busy as well. At the beginning of August entim left the site I was staked and coached by and I got a new coach, Glitlr.

After it I had coaching every week and my game improved a lot I think and finally I started winning some money as well,wooohooo. But that's not the only thing that makes me happy. I'm happy because I got to know a lot of cool guys during 2011. I'm happy for both my coaches, because I learnt a lot from them and yeah, they are both really cool guys.

Oh, and I love drinking. This is my biggest problem now, since I always crush myself when I drink more than I should lol. Last year there was about a month if I count everything when I couldn't play because of alcohol. I crushed my hand on an escalator, then I crushed my face when I was running drunk.... and now on NYE I crushed my face again...cannot even remember how that happened. Oh well, the point is that I should drink a bit less for my own safety.

Goals for 2012:

I was thinking about this a lot lately and finally I made my decisions. The first question was about school since I didn’t take that too seriously in the past 1-2 years. Now that I saw the tendencies in the online poker world (lots of bad news and regulations), I decided to go back and finish school.
This also means I’m gonna have much less time for poker in 2012 so time management is going to be the most important thing this year I think.
Also, I was thinking about being staked again, but since I’m not sure what’s going to happen (because poker is regulated in Hungary as well but nobody knows anything about the details of that) I’m going to play on my own for a while and of course I’m trying to build a bankroll.
I’m very motivated now, and hopefully this thread will help me to stay motivated through the whole year. So my main goals:

• Make at least $40k profit.
• Eat healthier and excercise
• Go back to school and try not to fail again
• Start beating MTTs finally
• Get coaching once a week
• DRINK LESS

I’m going to start with $2.5 180s and I’m not sure but probably gonna mix some 45s as well. Also, I’m going to play MTTs as well. I’ve been running pretty bad in MTT-s so far, and I really hope this will change this year.
$40k profit is going to be hard enough for me now that I’m going back to school. Also, this would be a record year since I’ve never even made close to $40k in a year.

That's all for now.

Good Luck guys!

Sounds good! Gl OP

I'm ready with the very first session of the year. I was playing only on 10-14 tables because I still don't have my monitor, only my laptop since I'm still home... Going back to Budapest on Thursday, looking forward to it

I was playing mostly $2.5 180s and some $3.5 45s. Not sure how many games did I play but I won about $85 so it's not that bad as a first session. Always better to start with a winning session than a losing one,right?

Good luck guys!

Thank you very much!

In for the ride! Haven't read yet, will do after my session. G'luck in 2012!

Thank you sir. I wish you something like your first session was through the whole year

Good luck

GL with your goals. I will be following...

I used to play against you both 18s early 2011 and 180s lately.

Best of luck.

Ready for today. Could've been a better day if I was playing only on PS. From now I won't play any other site, it seems I just cannot adjust. It's not easy to use another software after grinding months only on Stars. So I cashed out,hehe. PS ftw.

I played about 100 180mans today and about 30 other stuff, which is not bad regarding that I still don't have my monitor. Was trying to play 20 tables sometimes but it's almost impossible for me without it.

Made some money as well (about $120)

Month total: $ 203,91


Thank you sir!

Thanks a lot! If I remember well your nick is the same on PS, right?

Today was a really tough day. Woke up at about 10am checked my mails and this was the first shock.

"Please be kindly informed that we are regularly monitoring card transactions and work in a close partnership with Newcastle Building Society and MasterCard to assure highest level of security for your personal and financial details and your payments.

Well thanks a lot, now I gotta apply for a new one. Then I had to carry my parents car to its yearly service. I expected that it'll take about an hour or so but again, I was way too optimistic. It took more than 3 hours so my day was horrible.

Furthermore I gotta wake up at 7am tomorrow because I have to do a lot of offline stuff. But at least I'm going back to the grinding station tomorrow as well, so life's gonna be easier.

As for poker, I played only 57 games today. Didn't really want to be tired tomorrow, so I'm going to bed soon. Had a lot of ITMs but it was only the last game (again) that made me some profit.

Today: +$ 38
Month total: +$ 242

GL guys!


Today:

GL sir!

GL mate. From my personal experiences I can tell how hard cutting down on drink is since having 1 or 2 drinks will always end up going to 6+. Almost easier just not to drink for me atleast.

GL you lucky fish, i hope we'll play a lot of HU's (and i can win all of them)

Drink more, play less please

Thanks bro! Same to you, crush those 45s

Haha, same story here. 1 or 2 drinks simply won't work. It ends up being drunk and going to the hospital for me usually,lol.

Thanks, making lots of HUs can work but I'm not willing to lose'em all. And I obviously won't since you overrate TT+s preflop. 72o ftw. hehe.

Okay but I'm not going to any live events with you this year then. Deal?

and who is the biggest celeb now?
