no, i just play standard leagues this year. Wanted to play draft, but nobody from friends wanted to gamble so we skiped that for this season.

Btw I am also playing anti football, same as fantasy, only goal is to take as little points as possible:

Tnx guys... GL to u too

It is almost end of the month, 6 more days until the end. I say 6 because today I wont play or do anything productive... But from tomorrow the plan is to play a lot and basicly all day I am gonna be in apartment.

So far can not complain, because this month it is going quite well:



Playing good, but still want to improve few stuff. I did some analysis of my game (12/15) and of some high stakes hands (3/3), but decided not to watch RIO videos since I do not think those are helpfull for me atm.

Untill the end of the month I can drink only once more, which is probably gonna be today so after this in next 6 days I will play a lot, as I said, hopefully I can play 20k hands on zoom200.

Month is more or less finished, at least for me. Tomorrow I will take day off, deserved vacation from grinding, so lets update blog.

I can be quite satisfied with the results, also can be happy with my off table work. Honestly this is nothing special, profit is not huge, I did not work like crazy, ofc there are many regs that had better results and worked a lot harder. But I have to look at things realisticlly. Just a month ago I had basicly 3 unsuccessful months, I played very small number of hands and did not work on my game for longer period, so this is some kind of a success.

It is important that I woke up, and finally started with some kind of serious grind. I would like to continue in the same rhythm, so in november I will make some similar goals and try to achieve all of them. But first lets take a look at october:

4) analysis of high stakes hands - 3 sessions
5) watch 3 videos from RIO - I have some old videos, but now I am not subscribed anymore. Is it still worth for nl200 player? Can someone recommend good instructors to watch?
6) Read two books not related to poker
7) Meditation - 10 sessions
8) do 10 trainings
9) Dont drink 20 days - would choose bigger number, but my birthday is coming soon and as mentioned - will be in Vienna 4-5 days, also some student parties are starting
1) done
2) done
3) done - 16 sessions
4) done
5) Even at the beginning I wasnt sure if I want to watch some videos and after few advices from other people and some thinking about it, I decided to not even bother so lets say this is void
6) read 3 books, although those were some short versions, still succes if I compare it with my past
7) done 12
8) fail - only 3
9) 19 so far and tomorrow will be last one

Will give money to some center for kids without parents, it should be 13k rsd, but will give 15k.

So as I said - in general this was one decent month. For next one I will set fewer goals. Anyway was thinking about taking shot at nl500 again but after some thinking I will not play that limit in november. I made that decision because in last 7-10 days I played a bit worse and on some autopilot,especially on zoom tables:





Besides, I still have to make some money because of some busuiness opportunity where I will invest. Also in january I will go to indonesia for one month with few other players from Serbia and Russia and possibly stay longer in Asia.

So at the end I will write my goals for next month:

1) 47k hands
2) 12 meditations
3) 12 trainings - problem here is that I am procrastinator and wont do a lot of stuff unless it is last minute or urgent. And atm I am in OK form and not fat or slim, since I am around 175cm/72kg so it is not urgent to get some muscles or lose weight but would like to be in a bit better form. So decided to go to swimming pool and swim as training for at least 8-10 times this month and hopefully will do some more trainings at home
4) work on my game - 18 sessions - this can be analysis of my hands, or some hands from other players
5) 15 days without alcohol, 5 days with max 3 beers. It happened several times that I went to some bar to watch football match or w/e with friends and did not plan to drink but after i was there, I really wanted to drink 2-3 beers and then come back home and play. However, after 2 beers would think something like - well I already fkd up my non alcohol day so lets use a chance and drink at least 5-6-7 beers

Again the same story - now in euros. 10 euros for every goal I make, 50e if i dont make it

Anyway okish month, my mistake was that I went to my hometown and stayed 4 days so just wasted those 4 days. Almost did not play at all, was going to some bars or friend's house everyday...

but plan for this month is not to leave city where I live and try to play a bit more... btw not sure about visa for my trip to indonesia (and later will go to singapur, kuala lumpur, philippines, hong kong, pnom pen...) so maybe I will have to go to belgrade or home town.

here are results:





With lol rakeback it is over 5k
Decent month, hopefull december will be better. Still probably wont play zoom 500 because now it seems that I will be in asia for 2 months (maybe even more) and I want to save some money and also invest more in crypto (although i am semifish there)...

yeah forgot to mention my goals for december... still havent decided so will just think about it today/tomorrow cause I wont play today so it is not that important...

about charity - still did not pay even for november. So it is 130e for november and 15k rsd (around 130e i think) for october. Im just to lazy to find real person (dont like orgainisations that much) or some center for children without parents, but will try to do it in next week.

Decembar was not successful, I did not play well and did not play a lot. A bit annoying that I guess games were fine but just was not in mood for playing, had nice months with cryptos (what a surprise!) and some parties were on.



As I mentioned before - I am atm in Bali, we came here 7 days ago and will be here ~23 more days. So far it is great, never was to Asia before and Im thrilled. Weather is great, prices are low as in Serbia more or less, beach is great... Dont have many photos in my computer cause my phone is not working well so can not send those to laptop, but here are few:







Before Bali we were in Doha (for 8h, break between flights):








The last photo is stadium that was built for world cup which will be played in Qatar. It is stadium where will be played first match and final. Looks awesome... football over there isnt developed that much althought they are working in that direction. So for that wc 2022 they built 9 new stadiums and basicly they dont know how to use them after that. So the guy who was driving us (cool dude) told us that one stadium will be transfered to Djibouti since those stadiums are movable. Pretty amazing.

Anyway after we are in Bali and after that will go further in SE Asia. Singapore, Hong Kong (then and macao although I am not fan of live poker), cambodia, hopefully philippines althoug we are idiots that did not get visa so we are trying to get it somehow here or in singapore... As I said, so far Asia seems great, and definitely I will be back next year or in years after that. **** winter with snow

Yeah also - surfing is brutally good. Never went snowboarding or something like that, obv never surfed, but managed to stand on board in first attempt

Pokerwise - not playing a lot, just feel lazy, but hopefully will play enought to earn some money while here. Month so far:




one ownage hands:




Well fish owned me, but it is easy to make these calls when u are millionair here (this is 100-150e)

about poker - not playing near enough in these 45 days, but it was somehow expected, since I am lazy and now traveling... Cant be unhappy with results:




80-85% of volume and profit are from january when we were in Bali, now traveling a bit more so no really time for playing...

Anyway in bali it was really nice, we started surfing and now I am hooked on. Thinking about going to portugal during may/june so I can visit Lisbon and Porto and surf more. Always wanted to visit that country so now have one more reason... So in Bali we were lucky that Soma, our surf instructor, is great guy and great teacher, also he went with us to volcano Batur, rice terraces, hidden canyon...

This is him:



so after some lessions, I am finally ready to surf/swim with sharks:



Here are also few pictures from bali and our trips there:
















After Bali we went to Singapore, and plan was to stay there 3 days and also go to philippines embassy and take visa. But they rejected us because we did not have some bank statements... So we stayed 5 days in singapore, first 3 days at Marina Bay Sands and after that two more days in some other hotel. It is amazing how ecologically aware
they are, almost on every step you can see some messages about recycling, they even banned chewing gums.

View from our room and pool on the top of hotel:








two more photos from singapore;






The plan was to go to cambodia after singapore, stay there 4 days (2 days at phnom penh and 2 days at siem reap). But since we were tired from traveling and siem reap seems so nice for resting/drinking we decided that will stay here until 22nd feb when will go to Thailand. Two other friends that are traveling with me also are here, but maybe will go to Hong Kong in few days, still not sure about it. We visited genocide museum at Phnom Penh and also went to some forrest to shoot from some weapons. I never liked weapons but must admit - shooting was awesome!








So 3 days ago we arrived at Siem Reap and again we were lucky because we found one great reggae bar here, it is really cool place, people are relaxed, beer is 1$ and joint is 4$-5$. What more do u need? Hmmm maybe some gamble? Ok no problem, I played that game "4 in a row" in 50$ per game with some guy and rastaman that sells weed:





ohh forgot to mention our balloon flight here, we went there 2 days ago and was also really nice and exciting. So when balloon needs to lend there are 5-6 guys running and trying to catch some rope, and they could not catch it at first few attempts, so we had to go again up to miss the trees and then again down to try to lend... even the guy who "drive" balloon said it was his most exciting ride, and all of those guys seemed so happy when they caught us:










The plan is to visit Angkor Wat in next few days here, chill and relax, maybe play a bit and then go to thailand. We will be there until 6-7th March and then go back to Serbia, hopefully winter over there will be over then
