Well,
where to start.....I guess some kind of introduction would be more than good start :-)
Introduction...
I am 38, comming from Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Czech republic. Which also means, that my english wonīt be the best and appologize for any possible errors.
I have a really good full time job in banking sector quite well paid. Still not having family even living with almost perfect girlfriend (I guess, she wonīt like the word "almost"
), who supports me a lot also in poker.
I think, this short introduction could be usefull to understand, that even an experienced guy could be interested in playing poker and constant improving. Also you should understand, that I am not a young gun studying high school an having plenty of time for poker.
All in all I am a man like thousands of others and I am having a desire to improve my poker knowledge and skills. Results will come automatically, that is almost granted.
In the past I have been studying quite a lot and have been analysing my data and my hands. I also received some hours of coaching.
Poker career...
Started in January 2011 with 180 men and immediately achieved excellent results, after 400 tournaments I won 1.200 USD net...than I moved to cash game, which was a disaster and I lost several hundreds to thousands USD. Recently I moved back to 180 men tournaments, where I feel more than comfortable. Did several analysis and have been watching some really good videos, which helped me a lot. 2014 ROI is 39% within 500 tournaments. Could be much better...
Knowledge background...
I do understand the bankroll management.
Odds calculations, probability calculations is not an issue.
I do understand the implied odds concept
etc....
Just to understand, that I am not really starting from scratch, but have already some decent theory knowledge and math as such is fun for me. But of course, there are hudreds of leaks....
As I have seen, that some videos, theory and thoroughly analysis is very helpful, I have decided to sign up to a poker training site. And now we are comming to the reason, why I would like to start this blog
Why this blog....
To be honest, I have never been thinking to start a blog. And now....here I am :-)
ok....comming to reasons....
First of all I think, this could be very useful for the people to see, whether the training and analysis really helps or not. And you could be sure, that i plan to work on my skills really hard even having not that much time.
Also the thinking process behind the decision which site to sign on and all the preparations could be usefull
Second...sharing the thinking process and all these informations will help me to sort my thoughts and I do expect, that I will receive severall comments, which could help even me quite a lot.
Last, but not least...I have some plans and sharing them + showing the progress (if any) will push me really to fulfill my homeworks. As such, this will be my push to not become lazy and to work on my game...you know, i dont want to fail!!!
Well....at the end.....
what I am looking for
My focus will be MTTīs and would like to continue with 180 men. As such I am looking for the site providing me the most for MTTīs.
Next time I will go through the process of choosing the site. I still do not know, which site I will choose.
And please, keep in mind, that I am not going to share all the details I will learn during the training (like how to float profitably, when to 3bet etc.). I am going to share my approach to the training like what I am learning, why, and what are the results after such lesson learned. Of course I am going to share results and also possible mistakes and failures.
See you next time (usually Mondayīs evening) and feel free to contact me. I do speak also german.
