Hello, I am MadMinion, and i decided to open a blog here on 2p2 to try and gain motivation to play better and more poker, and to accomplish my goals in real life.

I play low stakes mtts on winamax and 888 and i will open an account on pokerstars as soon as i get my money from winamax (I am not going to say my nicknames)

Bankroll:
winamax:2000eu
888pkr:500usd
stars:1000usd( in a few days)

Poker goals:
Play at least 5 days/week and 8 hours+
Not really interested in money, but in playing better each day.

Real life goals:
Finish college, i am in 3rd year at computer science.
Go to gym 3 times/week, eat healthy!
Spend time with my girlfriend and friends, travel as much as possible
Get the driver licence

Today didn't go very well, i lost 160eu and 26usd. Last month i haven't played much so it was a bit hard in the beginning to concentrate...a bit rusty
I read this article about concentration: http://unexceptionalrounder.com/poker-concentration/
So,
1)Hydration - i always keep a bottle of water near me,and i drink at least 2L each day so i'm good here

2)Sleep - I sleep 6-8 hours every day but i always go to bed at different hours, so i feel a bit tired because of that.need to work on my schedule to fix that

3)Exercise- tomorrow ill start going to the gym

4)Diet- i think i eat pretty healthy atm, but i will try to eliminate all the junk food in time

5)Environment- i suck here...i keep my Facebook, YouTube,mail,etc opened and i check them regularly so from now on ill do my best to stop it

6)Meditation- i don't do it, but i will start to...

7)Music- i downloaded 15gb of classical music but it kinda annoys me when i play, so i will keep listening to what i usually do

8)Breaks / Concentration Tactics - will try them next time i play

Tomorrow i will go to the college from 2 to 6 pm and from 8 pm i will go to play board games with my colleagues so i will not be playing. From 11 to 12:30 i will go the gym so i will set my alarm at 10

Note: I cant play the 100eu and 50ra because day 3 on the 30ra will be at day 2 at the 100eu. I decided that i want to play 30ra more because the field is smaller and softer.

I dont know if i should play the sunday million 8M guarantee...the field will be huge and i will have to play it from the phone, with no holdem manager on it.

I started reading "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood and i got it on my phone to read it while i play. I will do my best to watch the table as well, but i already know the players pretty well.

Also, I went to college all the time and my colleagues are very nice and friendly. We went to play some board games on Wednesday and it was very nice. Last night i was with my girlfriend to a party and it was so much fun. And we decided to go from 23-27 April to the mountain with her colleagues.(its like a camp with games where i will meet a lot of new people, hopefully some new friends as well!)

I started going to the gym, its going well so far

Now i am going to the gym, then come back home, take a shower and start to MEDITATE!! Then ill go to the casino and play the 170$. GOGOGO

OK so last week i only played the 170$, 30k guarantee and 100€, 40k guarantee
On the 170 i 4bet 24bbs with A9 from BU against the BB who was pretty nitty but i thought he would 3bet very light cos it was the end of the day and i was very active. Anyway, he had AA and i busted it was the last level of the day(
On the 100eu i got out on the last level of the day as well, where i shoved over a few limpers AK from BB 10bb and the BU decided to call me with A7o. 7 on the turn and busted
I didn't played at all online and i didn't go to gym at all cos i moved at my gf's house for 10 days and the gym is very far from here...NOT happy about it
I did some exercise at home tho...
Anyway, in a few days im going back home and i will start grinding
Will post some updates after ill start playing online

Ok so this week i played a lot, and my roll is:
Winamax: 1400eu
Pokerstars: 1700usd
888poker: 480usd

I made a few final tables on pokerstars but i lost on all with huge flips and busted 6-9. On winamax i ran very bad, i made only 2 final tables but i got short in and busted early. On 888 i played only a few tournaments. I made a final table but busted 6 with a flip

I am going to the gym, eat as healthy as possible and go to college. I need to work on my motivation because after losing a lot of key flips i am a bit down...

Starting from tomorrow i will start playing at least 12 hours sessions and play a bit lower on all sites.Also i consider buying another 27' monitor. I currently use laptop+27' monitor.
