About blog:
This blog is going to be journal. Journal from the bottom to the top. Gordon want to prove people that he can turn anyone with good attitude into wining poker player who crush this game. I know nothing about NLHU I am NL SH player who struggle with NL25. Day before yesterday was the first day when I start playing NLHU. I play few times with my friends for fun but it never was something serious. Here I’ll post my progress and things I’ll do to improve my skill. I want this blog to be real time journal, there are a lot of blogs from pro players but not so many blogs where you can see they fast progress.
About me:
I come from Poland. I am a Computer Science student. I am a nerd, but special one. I have my nerd’s hobbies, eg. computer programing, math and so forth . But I also date with women, I work out, I am learning dance. Every once in a while I like to do something stupid. I like books, I like to travel. Two months ago I’ve been to Budapest. I had a flight for 3 bucks for two-way-ticket and because of very kind stewardesses with a lovely smile I came back in VIP section.
I like to go from one extreme to the other. Yeah I know we should be well balanced and we should keep happy medium but fu.ck that! That’s not the way how I want to live my life. I almost died twice and it changed the way I live. When I was young, bus almost hit me but I was too young to understand what happened and I was keep playing, second time was when I was old enough to knew what happened. Car hit me and I was literally flying in the air. Fortunately nothing happened but my life changed. I start drinking a lot, I start having party all the time and live hedonistic live.
I am glad I had this part in my life, even though it was very nihilistic moment in my life. “Nothing matter, we can die every day”. It’s funny because it was great for pick up chicks. “Why I should care about rejection I can die tomorrow, lets drink and do some crazy shi.ts with her”. Chicks always asked me: “How can I make you feel better?”, this was fu.cking fantastic and I just replied “whatever, you know in what you good at”. I had a lot of crazy memories from then. Maybe I’ll write about something one day
As I said I like go from one extreme to other and right now I am not drinking and don’t drugs for one year. It’s already 7 months or so without anything. Even on New Year’s Eve I didn’t drink anything, I was the only one sober at the party. Of course I wasn’t good boy before, I used to drink or get high literally every day for six months. I realized that I was running away from my problems and that was the time when I said: “fu.ck it, I am running away from problems and this’s not what champions do!”. Seven months later I am writing this post.
I realized that I only read blogs where authors put part of their life there. I am mean for sure there are greats blog where authors write only about poker but I am not interest about it that much. That’s why I decided to write more about and my past. I also want to share with you guys photo how I changed in last three years:
I’ve changed my body a lot and now it’s time for poker. I want to live baller lifestyle. I feel huge urge to pick up again and gain some new crazy experience. Poker will help me live baller lifestyle and that’s why I decided to focus on it first and foremost.
About goals:
At that moment the most important goal is to move up to NL HU 1k in one year of course with Gordon’s help. I have the best teacher I could have because Gordon is crushing this game. So even I know nothing about HU I believe this goal is possible. For sure it won’t be easy but it’s worth it.
Other goals:
1. Achieve 40 cm in biceps. (+4cm)
2. Visit every state in USA
3. Pass CEA exam and become a polyglot ( learn Spanish and French)
4. Become a millionaire
5. Do threesome
I’ll focus mostly on poker but those goals still are important for me. I am going to spend ~60 hours every week on poker. I’ll study to school, work out, eat 6 meals a day, learning how to dance, hang out with girls and friends, write posts with my progress every day and sleep when I’ll find some time for such a thing… Seriously next few months are going to be pretty extreme. Can’t wait to see how I’ll handle this.
About learning:
I know nothing about heads up dynamics. Today I had session with Gordon and he was really surprised because he thought I know more about it. I used to play SH at NL25 at it made him thought I know something but I don’t. I lost 10BIs before session with him and I can’t wait to see results after his coaching. It was my graph before coaching:
I am learning from:
Heads Up Mastermind – it’s a Gordon’s course about crushing Heads up game. This is going to be my main source of knowledge. I really amazed that he put so much great material in one place. I need to watch it over and over again and I’ll absorb this knowledge. He focus on most important things there, he keep it simple, so it’s easy to absorb.
Gordon’s coaching – I am realy, realy amazed how great his coaching are. Those of you who had sweet sessions probably know that most people don’t have enough time to tell his thought process that’s why I was amazed when he gave me few pretty logic reasons why I should do something. He did it pretty fast and easily because he know what he’s doing. You know why? He keep it very simple, he focus on most important things and skip the rest what doesn’t so important. Now I know why he had more than 500$/h while playing HUNL up to 2k.
I know it’s going to be hard, very hard but I can’t wait to understand this game and crush it, with that coach it’s only a matter of time. Last but not least I’ll also work some with Steve aka: ImaCHAMPION, you may know him from his blog:

PS. On English blogs I’ll post at least every second day because I am going to make Polish blog too.
