Hi,
some brief info about myself:
- 30 years old half armenian/half german guy without a professional career
based in northwest germany
- playing/winning at poker ( mostly mtts on the internetz) part time since ~2009
- living in a relationship since 2013. GF and me live together since 2 years now.
- interests outside of poker: politics, travelling, football
- long time PGC lurker
What i try to accomplish with this blog:
* motivating myself to crush poker and life
* keeping track of poker-results
* sharing noteworthy moments
* getting some feedback/tips
* maybe posting some hands. not planning to post a lot of strat though.
2016 non poker-cliffs :
- started the year with 5 months backpacking through latin america, spent most
of the time in guatemala and colombia while going from cuba to brazil mostly overland.
was obv playing very sparingly that time had just tons of fun. #timeofmylife
- came back pretty much broke and immediately re-entered my office job in the family biz
(25-30hrs/week sitting at a reception desk and doing paperwork). the job is really dull
but it enables me to be part of the relatively brillant german public healthcare system and
pays some bucks which cover rent and basic expenses so i am grateful for this opportunity.
2016 poker-cliffs:
- applied for a stake at abarone68s psyduck stable in june, which was a great decision:
Aaron does a really good job managing and running his stable professionally.
Coachings with an ICM-expert are happening multiple times a week , also i got a private
1-on-1 coaching with a well-known HSMTTer pre-WCOOP.
Communication/Vibe within the Group couldnt be better.
- started at ~15$ ABI . As i started well i got moved up a bit pretty fast.
Right now, i basically click all red+blue regspeed Stars-MTTs up to 44$ /
Regular/red turbo MTTs up to 27$/ Sunday Million / some well-chosen soft off-peak stuff above 44$
- graph since entering the stable :
Hi,
poker-goals for 2017:
* studying poker 4 hrs/week
* playing 2 peak sessions and one off-peak session/week
* playing 3500 mtts and winning 10$/game
* adding at least 1 more site ( right now playing ps/888). Any Ideas ?
* by the beginning of 2018 i wanna have earned enough money to have a decent roll to go on my own without having to move down considerably and be able to travel a couple of months in 2018 again.
life goals for 2017:
- considering quitting the office job and having my gf convinced to relocate with me by the beginning of 2018.
- stop smoking entirely ( went from 1 pack/day to 10 cigs/week last months )
- improve my spanish and start learning another language ( preferrably one with different letters to explore new brain space)
- improving health by working out/doing sports regularly. when it comes to sports i am the laziest person ever.
everytime i plan to go swimming 1km at a public swimming pool with sauna i just end up hanging around in the sauna and having a couple of beers there.
went from 68kg to 85kg last 2 years ( 1.77m) and wanna get that down to 75kg again.
- improving quality of relationship . trying to spend quality time with the girl at least one night/week where i am fully dedicating myself to her. lol sounds cheesy i guess
Lmk if u have any ideas on improving this or any tips how to accomplish any of my goals
Cheers Patrick
