Hello and welcome to my blog,

my name is Daniel, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Bulgaria.

Basically the title says it all. I've been playing poker seriously for quite some time now and I just got to the point where I was having some good results, but at the same time I felt stuck. I was a decent winner at nl25 6max and I was doing good at nl50, but if you really want to call yourself sucessful poker player that really not enough. It's like playing football in 3rd division and call yourself professional footballer - In a way you are, but at the same time you suck at being professional. I've always felt I'm capable of so much more, but I couldn't find the right path.

So here I'm now, at the very beginning of a long journey, that will put me to the test, but at the end of the day I'm sure that with enough determination I will achieve what I believe I deserve. I will dedicate the next months of my life completely to poker.

You can expect daily updates with my progress and the more interesting things of my life.



If you want to know something more you can always ask me in this thread and I wll be more than happy to answer

Daniel

Hi,
@elpirato thanks man

Here is how the week has gone so far:
[IMG]http://s16.************/8ft46cu51/Weekly.png[/IMG]


Definitely not happy with my game, I spewed a lot more than I should've and I honestly tilted hard from the last oponent I played. Some guy from Israel who was donking like a boss and always had it. Don't think he missed a flush draw etc. I spewed 1 stack at the end and just rage quit. Was hoping it would be good day since its weekened etc, but Im really dissapointed. Anyway at least its good I'm making some profit, definitely need to work on my mindset and have a lot more patiance against some opponents. Anyway im really tired and a bit tilted right now, so i will just watch something for few minutes and go to bed.

Hi,

had rough couple of days, hit stop loss last two days pretty fast, something like 6 BI under EV for 1.2k hands, but sh*t happens Especially when you play against crazy monkeys who make the variance hit the roof and its normal that sometimes they will get the money. Anyway thats all in the past, today was pretty good and I managed to cover my losses and I'm very motivated to crush these donks :s_biggrin:

Today I played one of my longest sessions and for sure the most hands I've played in a day. 10 hours mostly 3-tabling and about 4.2k hands :megusta:

Here is weekly graph:

I wont post suckouts etc, because I dont see the point. Maybe If i find some interesting hands when doing session review I wlll post them :P

Thats it for now, good luck on the tables

Hi,

@Tanaka Alien, thanks! Yea, because he is coaching a lot of people that keep blogs.

Anyways the week is over and its time for recap. The results are...as break even as it can get :evil:

Obviously a lot of room for improvement, I'm not really happy with this graph, but considering the big rake I can't be that dissapointed. Good thing there are rakeback and bonuses so I don't starve to death :coolface: Last few days I focused on quantity over quality and played a lot of hands. Next week I'm thinking about changing the tactic and see if the results will be better.

"Hardcore grinding"

Hi,

A positive graph finally, hopefully the trend will continue. Definitely playing better and better and reducing the spew with every day. Going in the right direction for sure. 8-)

Hi,

here is weekly graph:

Hopefully I will manage to make more volume this week and keep positive results. My biggest problem right now is outside the tables. I really need to sort out my lifestyle so that it is in favour of my grinding rather than against it.

I wish you a very productive and profitable new week

Yesterday.

Two fishes running like gods at the same time at the same platform. Ouch.

[IMG]http://s18.************/awvrwyvx5/ouch.png[/IMG]

@disco5tu, I'm not promoting anything. People get inspired by different things. If something helped me/is helping me I don't see the problem to mention it.

Fixed yesterday. Volume is bad tho.

Despite small profit, I'm happy that even after running super bad for few hundred hands I managed to turn it around. Skipped 1 day to play a WCOOP event which ended to be a complete fail :O
