Hello,
My name is Rudolph, I am 21 years old and come from Latvia. Been playing poker since I was teenager, really liked the game, back then there wasn't a specific goal to win money, I just enjoyed playing the game for fun.
I want to specify that I have never been a winning poker player, lost some money-would say not significant amounts that would hurt my life and me as a person.
Reasons why I lost at poker - I didn't follow bankroll management, was playing when I was going trough some very dark times in my life - I was mentally unstable.
Would say that the 2018 year was the year I started to transform a lot as a person with help of psyhadelic mushrooms- they opened my eyes to help me see life more as a blessing not a curse. I was able to start enoying more of the little things in my life-as simple as family and close friends, especially nature-sunrises, early morning walks when you spot a bird or deer at first the very first hour of sunlight, forest sounds and a lot of other things that I never saw as something positive or happy about before my first trip. Also I became more aware of my self-ego, my emotions and feelings.
Meditation has also been big life changer for me, it really helps to cope with things that are going inside my internal and external world.
Sure to say that 2019 is and will be the year where a lot of old fractions of my personality that doesn't improve my life quality are fading away to become a better, happier person.
If you are still reading this- thank you for sticking around, now we will get closer to my poker goals but before that I will tell you why am I even doing this thing.
Because I had few deep runs(in my eyes) back in the days when I didn't even study the game, was watching how the pros play poker on twitch-that probably helped me. So that's the little spark that is still in me, pluss enjoy the thrill that poker gives me.
My poker goal for 2019 is to become a winning player with no specific crazy bankroll amounts that I want to achieve-all I want to see is that my br and skills in poker are growing. Im starting with $10 bankroll and will be playing tournaments 360 man turbos.
To achieve this goal I made few smaller goals for September.
1. Increase bankroll to $25.
2. Study poker for 28 hours total in this month.
3. Post 27 hands on 2+2 forum.
4. Analyze 111 poker hands.
5. Learn 4 new poker termins.

I haven't played that much poker lately, just not feeling it. Slowly getting back into it, there is only 11 days left, might not finish some of the goals. We will see.
1. 11.77/25 . Would be around 15$ if I didn't burn away a lot for sattelite tournaments. Have to discipline myself in this area not to play too many of them-variance is too high and its no good for br.
2. 10/28 hours studied
3. 3/27
4. 12/111 it takes a lot of time really-some hands can go as long as half hour. That is crazy.
5. Haven't been learning exclusively any new ones. I am learning about equity, equity formulas atm-there is still things to learn about it and get better.
