April's summary

It's end of month, time for summary.

1. I have reached main goal - 'X Prize'.
2. I moved up to 3/6 tables.
3. First time I played with big boys at 10/20 and won!
4. I had only one tilted day and losts this day about $400, so I didn't made $1000 at 3/6. Finally I have $768.
5. I have started reading Harrington on Holdem and now play tourns and S&G more patient. HOH is really good book, so I have for improve my tourn play.
6. I had reactivated this stupid blog :-)

In may I must won X again. Nevermind how, when, where. I will not get next 'great plan', it's simple - at end of month I must cashout X! But I think I'll stay at 3/6, if I go higher and screw it willbe hard reach X.

15th april I had birthday. I'm now 29 years old. Only words I can say about this: that's sux!

X Prize

Today I have won $122 and this was time to stand up from tables. It is early, so I have time to write something.

I didn't play at 10/20 again but now I play at 3/6 not at 2/4 and few times I was playing at 5/10 tables ( and I won :) ). I have won my X now but most of that I won at 10/20 so 'victory' is partial ;)

Now I reset my bankroll, deposit $400 on my new Party Poker account with 'rakes back' and when I will make $1000 I will try stand at 5/10 tables.

Didn't play any tournaments lately. I first must start reading Harrington on Hold'em and I promissed my brother translate for him Small Stakes Holdem. He made his first 'cashout' last week. That is more optimistic thing then complete by me X prize :-)

I'm crazy! Call for doctor!

If you had read all my posts then you must know two things. First 'I always have great plans' and second 'I never realize this plans' :) This time couldn't be different!

Begining of april wasn't good time for play. So I didn't play much and didn't won big piece of 'X'. This situation changed at sunday, First I catch a flue :/ next when I transfered money from one account to another neteller close my account. So I hadn't cash on some service where I could play at 2/4 tables. I had cash only at new service (Bodog Poker) where I hadn't big choice of tables. Ofcourse I shouldn't do that - I sit at 10/20 table and fast won about $20. But when I was leaving table I had only +$30. At monday my neteller account still was closed :/ So I back to 10/20 table but this day I won about $650 :-)

Today my neteller's account is still close :/ I love this guys, they closing my account regularly because someone also use neteller from my IP address. My flue slowly going away also my brain slowly start working normal ;) So I was scared and when I founded 2/4 table didn't sit at 10/20. After 4 hours play, two losts with AA, one with KK and one with full house agains four of kind I'm finished with -$70. This couldn't be like that! After dinner I backed to 10/20 and won about $450 :-) And what should I do tomorow ??? Should I try again or back to 2/4 ?

Thank you ...

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.




Thank you for that I can belive in meaning of Yours testimony. Thank you for all hope you give me in my hard days. Thank you for all words you was talking to me when I didn't listen...

Blog - new beginning

This is goodtime to continue this story. Wrong! It will be beginning of new story...

***

The World has changed
I feel it in the water
I feel it in the Earth
I smell it in the air
Much that once was is lost
for none now live
who remember it


It began with a dream but it was only a dream. I stoped writing this blog not because I was loosing. I stoped it because something happends and last hopes for 'WPT' died. It really was only a dream. Path I choosed was going to nowhere and now when all is changed it's time to take new path and new destination. But about this later...

From time oflast blog update I become solid (I think) small stakes player. I play now generally at 2/4 limit tables and have profit from this. Furthermore I had been in cash in some tournaments. Bigest wons was third place in $20+2 Tourn at Partypoker (won above $2000) and first place in Rounders V Level S&G at Bet365 (next $3000 :) ). But now this is a time for big changes. I can't longer do my 'real live job' and it's time start play for food ;) It's time to become a Pro Poker Player :) Before i'll say 'farewell' to my job I will made a test - can I have long term profit from my play when I really need it? Tomorow starts new month - if I will make X in two month that will mean that I'm ready!

This is a plan:
- I will play at 2/4 limit tables for X,
- from reload bonuses I will get cash for buy-ins to S&G and Tournaments. Here winnings will go for upgrade - play on higher limits and bigest tourns.

That's all! May God will be with me!
