Hey, I`m Yannick, a Information Systems student from germany.
I`m 21 years old, living together with my GF since March 2014 and I (officially
) started playing poker right after my 18th birthday.
This blog will track my progress poker- & reallifewise for the next two years, as well as it will track the progress of a friend of mine (no 2+2 acc existing atm, so you will get a name in some hours
), with whom i plan to travel the world in 2017!!
My poker history
because of tl;dr reasons:
played pretty much everything (but highstakesgames) which NL holdem had to offer until oct. 2013, didnt have real success, burned some money on stars, won some on other sites. then i managed to get a mtt stakingdeal (loved mtts most ) which made me taking poker more seriously. i learned a lot in these couple of months, then quit the deal & tested around, wiling to find the one game i want to focus on. (without burning to much time i`d normally need for university & stuff)
& now here I`am, playing 15$ HU sngs & every HU MTT pokerstars has to offer but the 215 weekly HU.
Goals
As the title says, I want to travel the world in 2017, actually more then anything else, even graduating this dream grew while & after i traveled around ethiopia with my GF for 1 month in sept. 2013.
At the moment we plan to travel the following countries in the given order:
start in germany -> ethiopia->tansania->thailand&laos&cambodia (by car/motorcycle)->china->japan->australia-> new zealand->brasil->columbia->canada->back to germany
As you can imagine this will cost a ****in looot of money, so here are my goals:
Until the end of 2016:
[]Build a travel roll of 14k€ travelroll: 1.5k€
[]Reach (4.5k$ bankroll) and beat the 60$ HU sng limit BR: 702$
[]deposit at least 3k€ pokerwinnings into my travelroll
[][]2 pokertrips to prague with my pokermates
[]lose bodyfat down to 80kg & be able to run a half marathon again (had some problems there, heavy hip damage which will be fully cured in one month combined with heavy mental weakness @eating behavior)95kg
[]keep my musclemass in spite of my other goal
[]graduate
until the end of 2015:
[]reach (2.25k$ bankroll) and beat the 30$ HU sng limit BR: 702$
[]do pokercontent on a regular base (4h/week), since i dont believe grinding up the stakes will stay as easy as it was until i reached the 15s
[]pass all exams
[]grind some mtt-sessions (mtt winnings will mostly cashed out to increase my travelroll
)
[]keep the gym-motivation as high as it is now
[]build a freakin awesome spotifyplaylist
The plan:
As already mentioned i will start playing all the hu-mtts@stars & 15$ HU sngs. As higher variance comes with the 4men husngs, i will not click these until i have 50BI for the current lvl. 40BI for 2mens. (the br-requirement posted above (@goals) counts for the 4men sngs, so i will click the 2mens of higher lvls then 15$ @ around 60BI & the 4men @ 75BI)
gym:
at the moment i visit the gym 4xaweek, 1 cardiosession 3 normal sessions, wanna keep that goin!!
travel roll:
as i`m pretty sure i can`t build all the travel roll by just grinding, i have a roundabout 650€/month job besides university which costs me 16h/week.
I hope to deposit at least 500€/month from my salary onto my travelroll.
Updates following!!
////
since im sick at the moment i had a small mtt session in the morning (4 mtts & 3 hu mtts) in which i won roundabout 1k$, so im going to deposit some of that money into my travelroll the next days

hey guys, first update here!
well, didnt play much last few days, which i am proud of, because i have an exam tomorrow. failed the same one last semester ;(
still, i managed to bink a 11$ turbo super KO hu for roundabout 300 bucks, yaay
also played some 15$s, i have to say that there are soo many regs out there, every second person i scoped was thousands of $$ up on HUsngs. still some of them had prety obvious leaks, whereas some of them crushed me to death. i know i have to do a lot of content (did some reviews this week, hell yeah!), but finding these leaks & beeing able to heavily exploit some of the regs makes me very confident @ beating these damn 15$s 
i also played the last 2 55 & 109$var speed prog super KO as well as the 215$ main event, where i ran pretty ridiculous
ive obviously sold shares! if anyone else is interested in shares for upcoming events contact me here!
yesterday i played day 1a) of a 55€ deep @ a local casino. had to take a reentry after round 2 hours, because of KK<AA, then ran ok & ended up sitting in day 2 with 29BB (around average). the huge pricepool of these reentries is amazing
well, tomorrow 19:00 day 2 starts, wish me luck!
if it goes deep there, i will come upwith some pics ovsly!

Nice goals mate.
I like the idea of having an ultimate goal which for you is travelling.
I actually have played quite a few hu this year but just recreationally, do you play hypers?
You will need some serious cash for Australia its quite expensive especially my home, Sydney but is still the best place in the world imo ha ha.
Gl on the grind dude
