Hi 2p2, my name is Stefan, 25 years old and i play on pokerstars under sn delijesever1.
Quick check of background (dont wanna bother you too much with history classes
)
I play poker for 4 years, and first 3 years i only played cash games, wasnt that much profitabile, i live in Serbia, east europe, so making 500$ monthly was enough for me to live nicely out of it, but then i spent more than i earn so got into some debts, which brought me to the point of october last year where i had to decide if im going to play poker profesionally or just quit it for good and go to work on cruise ships, i always hated having a boss so i went with poker, last chance to make a living out of it, i meet some new ppl and started playing 180s mttsng's which was mindblowing for me at start as i never played any tournaments in my life, but i had nice start and it was going perfect, i crushed 2s, started moving up but then i stumbled on huge swings, this is my graph from when i started playing
As you can see it went horrible at the start up untill 7k games on graph, up to then i was talking to Mightyducks on regular daily basis and he said to me its not going to work, i should do something about it, he gave me advise to take Frenzuh as coach, man, i opened my eyes after just few coachings with him, i was backed then and we were playing on some push/fold charts, first thing he thought me is to think out of the box and not use charts, and also not to be volume grinder, rather to go with quality above quantity, and i never looked back from that time. Here is the graph from that period up to now
Like you can see before that i had 300bi swing like its totaly normal, after that i still didnt saw one or be near, so im very happy how i started. Somewhere in June my backer closed his stable, so i had to find new one. Mighty was now kind of a role model to me, so where would i go for advice if not him. We were talking about how lucky i was to start having some results lately so i can have more options for backing, as no one would take me with that horrible results on the start of the year. So he says to me go to Bogan, he is best in busyness, ive listened to him and thats where we are at the moment. In the meantime mighty went into staking with him so im part of their group which is awesome, and i was happy like a little kid when i found that out, that ill be in Bogans group with Mighty and Richard - AngelinaWins as coaches. At that time i didnt know Bogan very well so i thought he will not be coaching us, but boy i was wrong, i saw how using pokerstove can help you a lot, and he teached me not just ingame stuff but a little math also. So here is graph from when i joined that group untill now #teamtrickyducksftw
Well not going a lot on my history didnt go really well lol Im a lot lazy so actualy when i decided to write this much i decided to leave it go on its way and for once not be lazy ass I always wanted to open some sort of pgc/blog thread but never knew what my actual goals will be, so i just named thread like this which wont mean i have to come up with some goals, then fail at them, then open new thread etc, this way im going all the way to the top without reopening threads I curently play 8s,3r,15s as some turbo mtt's with them, im very happy with how things are going but i know i still have a lot to work on to get even better. Also the thing that i would mostly love to work on is volume, it curently sucks, last few months i have played ~1k games monthly, so i decided to do some volume bet with flettl2 cuz we are both lazy asses so we can motivate, i do have plan on going to Thailand for a month in next week or two, but we have some problems getting on the way every now and then so im hoping we solve it and just go and enjoy there, after that, volume bet and im hoping to stay after that on same path volume wise, roi should go higher also with the time :P Ok this was already tl;dr so sorry for that, i wont bother you much any more, sorry for my english also. I wish you all gl at tables!
Vamoooooooooooooooooo dogbrooooos

Well today i woke up sick, my nose is bleeding like its niagara waterfalls, this means that i will not be able to play for a few days which reaaaaaly sucks as i had some goal to make this my first 5k month on 180s as i was too lazy every other month and didnt even come close to it. heres the graph for now
i will still have like a week left when i get better to make it, i just dont think it will be enough as im running little over expectations so i should have some breakeven period to make up for it, unless i started being beast in the meantime which is less likely gl all

Because im not playing today or next 2,3 days, ill probably just relax, try to get better, and maybe add some coaching like i had today, and also do some hh reviews on my own, just go over some FT's and see if im missing some spots etc
