I just arrived home from some traveling and time off poker. Fresh,rested and with a decimated bankroll I'm now for the first time in a long while somewhat eager and longing for improving my game and make some serious buck.

I'm 24, Swedish and been playing professionally for ~5 years. First two years tournaments and then cash games last three years. My main limit has been approx NL$150. I've been staying on this level as I've made enough to live a great life and not having to put to much effort into it. Never had a very big roll to be honest, but always kind of relied on my ability to make money consistently as the field I'm playing against is pretty weak. I've been playing almost exclusively on a Swedish site called Svenska Spel, 5-handed cash game.
Here's the graph from most of my CG carrier (excluding tournament wins):



I'm actually on my way away from poker as it's time for me to find the next chapter in life. But until I find out what's next in line for me I'll set my mind to unlocking more of my potential and finally grind my way to a well sized bankroll, climb in stakes and get truly great at the game of poker.

I'm gonna play tournaments on Sundays and also study it so that I increase my chance of binking big. Depending on roll size the Sunday schedule will vary.

I'll set up goals of what I want to accomplish during the next three months and after that I'll see where I'm at in life, maybe it calls for more poker, maybe I'm already doing something else. Time will tell.

Poker goals until 1st June:


Life wise I'm right now studying two small university courses on a distance, one basic in C# and one in basic web design.

Looking forward to start working out. While traveling I wakeboarded and surfed a ton, but didn't eat GTO+drank a lot of alcohol and now I'm looking to get in great shape (I'm not in bad shape by any means though). I've also been resting a couple of months from running and I'll restart it again really soon. I have shin splints, but this time I'll progress really slow and finally get rid of it. (knock on wood)

I'm dating a few girls atm but for the first time in a long while I might be looking to find a girlfriend instead of having casuals. I'll know when I find her.

I've had an idea that I should be creating electronic music of some sort (not really my bag) for a while, but due to lack of inspiration it has been slow started to say the least. Maybe it will finally take form? I'm also soon gonna start playing drums with a couple of guys in a setup we've only tried once, just before I went traveling. I've got a great feeling about it, hopefully we'll get something really nice going. I'm currently playing bass in a hardcore band and soon we'll finally start playing live, looking forward to this a ton. During the next three months I'll also get of my ass and practice instruments overall - piano/guitar/bass/drums.

I'm looking to once and for all learn to drink a bit not-so-heavy as I'm doing right now while partying. Almost every time I'm out I get blackouts (pretty severe) and now it's time for a change. I think I'll set some sort of punishment if a blackout should occur. And set up a cap of how much to drink before going out.

Currently renting an apartment, which is somewhat ******ed long term, it's time for me to buy a place. Gonna look into it asap.

Some life goals until 1st June:



TL;DR

Gonna post weekly goals every Monday and recap/post at least once a week.

Yesterday I played a bunch of smaller tournaments/satellites but somehow ended my grind at like 00:30. Might be a good thing since I was very jetlaged. Anyways - it's my first Monday and here comes the first weekly goals:

• - Check up on current cellphones, which one to buy?
• - Set up a new mobile subscription
• - Finish second task in C# course
• - 30-40h poker
• - 2h studying poker
• - Register+go to gymnastics on Wednesday
• - One core workout session
• - Total of 200 push-ups
• - Look into loans regarding buying apartment
• - Eat salad (as meal) once a day
• - No solid food after 23:00
• - Drinking maximum one day + cap 8 large beers
• - Sit perfectly 1 hour/day
• - Post at least one hand
• - Post on at least one hand
• - Figure out one more site to play on
• - Practice drums 10 min/day

• - Get a jumping rope (warm up shin splints)
• - Reboot PC
• - Start using MAC+PT4
• - Meditate for 3 minutes each day
• - 2 pushed social situations
• - Clear the bookshelf

I really want to push myself to have at least one day off, that goes for all the stuff on this list as well, not just poker. I'll see which day it'll be.

Today I got in my first proper big session since 'restarting'. I'm playing a level under my usual and wow what a difference it it! The field is so soft it's incredible! Lost a buy in or two and looking forward to grind through this level in a heartbeat.

Almost fooled myself into not going for tonight's gymnastics class (due to jetlag etc). Pushed myself to it and wow it was so worth it! Sprinkled my foot a bit though, but it'll be fine in a few days. Now it's a few hours grind before bed.

Seems like I have gotten quite a following here!

Weekly goals recap (for week 1):


This week consisted of me getting rid of my jetlag, trying to get through my C#-assignment through classic shortcuttery (gonna do it properly the coming week), poker, girls, music and just being happy overall. Great week!

Graph week 1, set in swedish kronor:

I really hope I'll be able to move up to NL1000kr again this week. I also hope I catch a break in my school work. I have a few dating options this week but I also really want to get in a lot of poker/studies etc so I'll what'll get squeezed in.

Weekly goals for week 2:
