thanks I'm looking for fellow grinders to meet up with maybe I'll come visit you in Italy sometime, it's always been my dream to go there, cheers and good luck from Canada.

Great , keep on doing it.. GL.

Hello guys,

I didn't update my blog due to traveling and some other things outside of poker which I'm very busy with, so things like blogging I slip with. I will just update this blog at the end of this year, with a short recap, learning lessons and the final results ofcourse! Hope to finish strong as I feel very productive.

Cheers and good luck to all!!

Hey guys,

I finally found the time to post about the last 3 months of my poker year.

October actually started good, I was productive and even won 2 weekly Leaderboards for 100nl and 200nl cash games on Italian ipoker network.
Afterwards my results where not very good and I lost my focus a bit. Maybe I overworked trying to win the leaderboards, instead of focusing on the quality of my decisions again.

All in all, the weather also influenced me. November and December really feels like winter, also here in Italy, which has influence on my mental health. In Dutch we call it 'winterdip'.

I had more problems with executing all my routines, and instead of grinding online I decided to plan some trips and focus on live poker.

London was a real fun trip and the 2/2 livegames were really easy to beat. So afterwards I also planned a trip to Barcelona to play 1/3 and 2/5, which despite I was not playing as good as in London I also had good results and memories from.

Now I just came back from a trip to San Marino. Where I played 2/5 and the games were really soft.


I can conclude that I miss the social aspect whenever I play online poker.


I finished the year with roughly 375k hands and a winrate around 7bb/100 in EV.

( I guess 45k hands in October with 7bb winrate, 25k hands in November with 6bb winrate and only 18k hands in December and -1bb winrate)

It's a bit silly, but my HM database got corrupted in the end. Over the year I played on 4 different setups and I imported the hands from the last 3 months to my main setup, but somehow it duplicated a lot of hands, so I cannot find back the exact numbers. I tried to google about what went wrong, but after 3 hours I gave up. lol.

It doesn't matter too much either. I'm happy with my efforts, but I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't keep up the high standards the entire year. That's my biggest challenge: staying consistent and disciplined and always play my A-game. I knew this already.


Furthermore, I hoped to be further in my online grind and mostly play 200nl+. I don't see as much growth as I wanted to see in myself.


For 2024 I stop blogging and I plan to play more live cashgames. I seem to enjoy it more atm.


Thanks for the support and reading about my journey. If you want to discuss poker, you can always add me on Discord.

Good luck to everyone.
