Aftergrind thoughts...

Well. After grinding throught 30K last hand I clearly understands that my poker play is 0EV. Really. All money I gain, I gain from bonuses, rakeback and so on. My incomes from poker itself is about 30% of my incomes!!!

I think this is not a way how things should be so I decided couple of things that I will live according with:

1. No more beer as everyday drink! No more 2L of beer everyday after session, before sleep and so on. Drinking while playing I may be not become a drunk but alertness is lowered, attitude is lowered so - Beer is EV-
2. Weitht & Sport. As long I lost about 30 Kg during last year (from 120Kg to 90Kg) it is not a good shape. While your way of life is sitting infront of computer everyday for about 15 hours everyday you need exercises. So I start running - for about one kilometer everyday. I done it yesterday, I done it today and I hope that I will do it tomorrow. It's very hard because it's exausting and all you want after running is fall asleep but I think it's serves greater good.
3. More grinding. Mine standard for grinding - 1000 hands per day is ridiculiosly low. It's about 4 hours of real play. My new goal is 1500-2000 per day and I plan to play poker all my spare time.
4. More reading! I read 2+2 only half of hour on day. It's not how I should do it. I will setup goal about 2+2 - 5 usefull replies on forum and one usefull to others post per day.
Also I should reread TOP and HPFAP...

Wish me luck! :)

Well here is a first post.

Some words about me? As you wish...

I am full-time 2/4-3/6 player for about 1.5 years. Playing mostly on PartyPoker network. I fond about poker and having fun while playing it. Grinding throught 2/4 is awesome and I learining lot of new things from 2+2 so I have a plan to move onto 5/10 until New Year. Will I do it? Who knows. But I've created this blog with purpose among others to control my archivements and to punish me for lazyness, bad plays and not playing. I have a plan to play not less than 1K hand per day and god I haven't do it because I am most lazy person in the world. Good time to see you here.

First entry here.
