GRIND FOR LIFE

Posted 7 years ago

Hello.
I wanted to create journey/blog here.

My name is Danijel, i am 30 years old and i am playing poker since 2009. Mostly i played tournaments and i got a lot of success. I graduated from School of Economics in 2011 and since than i am full time poker player.
in the beginning of 2016 i stop playing tournaments and start to play full time cash game. I start to play nl10 and move up to nl20, i mostly play on microgaming and ipoker. At nl20 i play 4 tables for 6 hours, five days in week, and i am winning on average 1k e in month with rake back. I also want to mention that i play with out HUD. My gold is to move up nl200 and that is main reason why i am starting this blog and i hope it will help me to stay on course. I am going to try to track my progress once a week, and i am going to post hands to seek advice from community.

Yo welcome!

When did you decide poker was going to be your full time job? Studying and knowing that might have been difficult to ensure good grades?

tnx for welcome @Jon-PokerVIP

I decide to play poker full time in 2010, i was making back than around 400 e per month, and average wage in my country is 400 e, so i figure that i can play micro tournaments i have nice living

Standard first week, i am up 238 $ with rake back. It could have been better, if i did not got drunk on wednesday, so i did not play on thursday. I aslo got an offer from from pokerstategy to deposit on tigergaming, a they are gonig to give me licence for HEM2, i made a deposit and should got licence in next few days. I also got offer from friend of mine to start investing in binary trading so i m looking forward for new experience, its pretty similar to poker, most important thing is bankroll management.

Solid crushing there buddy and nice recovery for that mini downswing. Seems like you are a bit of a beast! What's the secret?

There is no secret @Jon-PokerVIP, only thing that i think do different is taking notes on anonymous tables, because you can't track all players by your mind. I am sure that happened to all of us when we are siting on anonymous table that we recognize a bad player and he leaves table and someone sit down on his sit and we still think that we play against same player. Aslo i think i have an advantage against all regs how used to play with HUD on anonymous tables.

PS tnx for kind words ,,Seems like you are a bit of a beast"
