Hey Guys,

OK here it goes, im not really a forum guy but I wanted to set some goals for myself and to keep these promises I think its best to put it online so ppl can punish me when I dont achieve it


Past Situation. I began playing poker when I was 19 and started at 25NL, worked my way up to 100NL and have been playing part-time for a while.
in 2011 I took all my money from my roll and went travelling for a few months, its something I don't regret but it wasn't really a smart move for my poker career.
When i came back i didn't really play poker seriously as I had no roll left and had no motivation... During the summer of 2012 i started playing poker again but i just deposited and tried so many different kinds of game's Pokerstars CAP games, MTT, SnG just trying everything but I had no clue wtf i was doing anymore lol so i quit that and thought f**k poker everyone's solid these days.

One of the things I did with my pokermaney



Lifetime graph till 2012:

Downswing was a shot going dramaticly wrong! and some tilt was involved winnings werent that great but had a good VIP (rb) deal so still a great profit for me.

Current situation everyone knows that u cant just stop playing poker right? so 2013 summer I contacted PokerVip Showed them my graph and talked with them and they have put me in their team as a staked player and I am learning alot from them.

Graph since 28 August 2013




My goal is to keep myself motivated to play poker, Always keep improving my game and eventually make myself a regular on the midstakes tables :), play 30k+ hands a month and be a +5bb/100 winner.

I will keep this thread updated with some hands,graph's and will be open for questions.

No doubt you will achieve all the goals you have set yourself! A pleasure to work with a really nice guy! Great picture with the dolphins. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!....now get back to the tables

Really awesome picture man, I love it. Good luck with your goals

I love this journey already boss, sick photo too! Keep it up

Sweet man, best of luck!

hey bro, nice goals, i wish i was structured like you haha. im glad you stoped that red line, now get it up!

Ooooh, that picture, sick, GL at tables!!

Thanks for the nice comments hehe

yesterday kinda S*cked, nothing worked and every hand go cracked and had a few setups here and there, worst day so far!


Today i started the day with finding and editing a better HUD because i was missing too much stats (was using the sucky standard HM2 HUD)

Downloaded a custom HUD from this topic [url]]http://forums.holdemmanager.com/share-your-hud-configurations/42210-new-6-max-hud-popups.html[/url] and changed some stats and its great now just takes some days getting used to the new stats and stuff -_-

Well im going to watch a pokervid now and hopefully crush later today

Graph from yesterday

Update! The past 2 days ive been grinding whenever i could but was busy with alot of other stuff aswell. (partying =P) But still im happy with the volume i put in. I tried to spew a little less and it worked out ok. Also my redline is exactly how i want



Well going to keep it short because ive made it waaaaaaaaaaaay too late bc have to wake up at 9.... for my first football match since 13 years!!! So wish me luck people!

Ok bro, this is what its up with u, u are keepin the red line just where u keep ur party attitude, so, u better keep partyin and with that thin red line up! HAHHA

Staying focused will help you achieve your goals fella. Good luck!!!

GL man, you will crush this

Ok small update, Sunday and monday where horrible, i got my back injured during football and both days i was full with pain medication. and the sessions i played i all lost..
looking back through some hands mostly was pretty standard and was just unlucky, but i did make some costly mistakes in small-medium sized pots that i normally dont make so today I will just go through some Strategy and wont play too much as I still dont feel 100%. Gl to you all!

Time for an update! first the good news! Im happy with my volume i played 30k hands in 24 days and im still up since i started playing with PokerVip and im learning a ton. Just today i had an nice review session with Jon and maxi and we were able to talk very detailed about some hands..After this Session i watched some Champions League and play 1 last session i wish i never played

i want to post some trouble hands but there arent alot so instead im just going to post all the AA hands I got during my last session and make this a post where i can release my anger a bit

JJ hand can be considered spewy but villain called every 3bet and was an huge fish with vpip of 90/30 and high AGG factor so i wanted him to spew off his chips to me

I feel pretty bad at the moment, disgusted but I will keep playing my A game and make less mistakes. I gues most of it is just variance though.. tomorrow im free and im going to watch some pokervids and play for the rest of the day so wish me luck.



there is 1 hand im not sure about. shuild i have just called this OOP? as played i think there isnt much i can do on the turn except shove. i have alot of equity and there is exactly 1 pot bet left. still looks kinda spewy tho..
