I havent played today, I wasprepairing for a road tomorrow. I will stay there for 6 days, after that I am going for a couple of days in Bor.
1st GOAL: 10K OF PROFIT (1240/10.000$)
For number of games i can say that I am happy, but I have to grind much more. When I come back from Princess I will have to start playing at least 2500 games per month. And i have made a count, I ve lost round 500$ on MTTs, so thats definately out of scheadule. I am aware of huge variation on this format, but the problem is I dont have good focus.
In October I am traveling to Germany on 10 days which also can be problem for my grind.
Next 7 days maybe I will be playing some zoom format on laptop for couple of hours per day.
2nd GOAL: HAVE 5 STUDENTS WINNERS (1/5)
Very happy how this goal is going on. Guys are really great. They have very serious approach, asking question all the time, they grind number of games we arranged. I will put their graphs here:
1- This guy plays on Poker Stars 3.5$ now, but his game is very solid. Very soon he will move up on 7$ or on some other site to grind 5$ avg buyin.
2- The other one is on 888 grinding 5$ there already and he is doing very well. Alreade he has made his first split
3-This is a guy who used to grind a lot 9man and had a great results there on limits up to 3.5$. Now he is out of grind mode totally and will continue playing 1.5$ just until he returns selfconfidence and get into better shape.
4-And the last one who is already playing is on Party Poker grinding DON 1.1$. He is very motivated and since he can play one table at once he is havign a great volume.
Very soon the 5th is joining and we will probably get one more.
Re: 10K$, 8kg down, 5 winners and 3 passed exams until the end of the year
After 3 weeks of challenge here are the results:
1st GOAL: 10K OF PROFIT (1118/10.000$)
After several days of great run it stopped. I mean, nothing special, i am down for less than 20 bis, but at one point I started to play very bad, than I ve done a big review, went through showdowns of some regs i meet often at the tables, wrote down note for them, and again i am satisfied with my game and focus. The thing I plan to change is reducing number of mtts I play. I dont play them well, and after losing in late phases I lose motivation for my sng grind. I know it sounds stupid, but I can't handle it.

2nd GOAL: HAVE 5 STUDENTS WINNERS (1/5)
I think that I can say that we have our 1st guy who is beating 5$ limit. As he said he played the most of his games on Unibet, where he was beating even 10$ limit, but unfortunately we cant show results form there, since Unibet isnt supported with PT4, HM2 or any other program i know. However he has some sample on Microgaming network. He doesnt have realiable sample but when I went through his hands, he deffinitely beats that limit. He had trouble on 10e and 20e limits, where are more regs. Some of them I know and the are really good players, so this would be our first goal, to move up and beat those limit.
Here are his graphs from Microgaming:

As I said, not enough games, but his game is quite solid. First of all we will have to get deeper into some ICM spots since he is using only some charts without working regulary in ICMizer and adjusting those ranges. When we fix that we will try to improve his postflop knowledge which even now is ABC solid. All in all I am happy that he is with us, definately a great potential.
3rd GOAL: LOSING 8kg (4.8/8)
This goal has the best progress so far. The good thing is that now I am used to this regime. I dont eat a lot anymore and I dont eat late, and what is the msot important I dont have need like i used to do before. Also, I am very nervous if I dont do an exercise for more than 2 days.
Tomorrow I am in Princess, all the players have alinclusive in their 5 star Ramada hotel, which includes gym, swimming pool, sauna etc.. Also you can choose what to eat, so my plan is to when I wake up go for a swim, then breakfest, lunch, gym, dinner and then grinding live cash. Hope that this will bring one more KG down
4th GOAL: PASS 3 EXAMS (0/3)
Also very happy with this challenge, I thought that I will have more trouble, since its been 4 years since i have passed my last exam, but I am doing weel. I am really looking forward to passing those exams cause this is the thing just few of them believe in
Thats all for now, I will put some pictures from Princess. GL everyone!
