Last 10 days were like a hyper turbo tournament.

Hello everyone!

I feel so bad to keep you waiting for such a long time. I had an amazing time in Poland. My friend got married, other one found a job and bought a car, another fell in love and got promotion. Every day I didn't know where I was going to sleep, in the end I spent only one night at home - like a fcking homeless guy :). The feeling I had during my polish trip, was like someone was pumping the adrenaline in my veins. 
The whole dream broke when my Italian landlord said that I have to leave my apartment in 8 days... Finally  some vip manager from pokerstrategy.it helped me to translate an announcement and my gorgeous girlfriend found a quite nice place. I can tell you guys that prices are sick here in Milan. 700-900€ for a studio which looks like this:





I can afford it but come on... in Poland I could get for the same prize sth like this:


 


I can't complain ;) Living in Italy with my girlfriend, doing what I love LEGALLY is sth what I still can't believe in.

I decided to upgrade my clothes and style. Going out with a model call for looking not as a polish country boy. I bought :



And few other things :)
Also I'm thinking about buying a longboard. Having a car or a motorbike is useless here in Milan. I have some addiction to every single sport which is connected with boards ;) This September after my trip to Sweden I'm going to Hel to learn kitesurfing!

Yeah, yeah what about poker. In May I played 16k hands on upswing. Last session I lost like 2k€ QQ<AQ, KK<AK  and AA<77 in 100 hands! Decided that it's a sign to stop this month and relax. Im moving on 1st of June and after that I will start my poker grinding mode.

Good month, small sample, running like a GOD!

This month small sample. It's because of my motivation problem while I'm winning - yeah I know it's weird


Wasn't sure about this one. Pretty good reg, plays NL400-NL1k, not agressive postflop, and very honest while OOP. The river it's not the best card after his line to bluf x/r. His timing while calling was quite fast so I didn't put him on hands like 33 and QsJs. He would  think even for a moment on the turn and he had just snapcalled. Hands on the river I expect are: TT,AKs,KTs+,AKo,KQo looking and this I should have bet like ~160€ more thand ~140€. Hands he is x/r on the river I think are: TT,KTs and I have 33% pot odds and 40% equity so its call. The problem is that I think he is never bluffing. He is not the type of bluffer W$ when raise river 3/3 and x/r river 1/1. Especially after my 3rd barrel from UTG... It was so close but finally I called and he showed : K of clubsT of clubs

This one is pretty nice. My SQZ is 11 right now but never seen someone trapping nuts vs me. The BTN has ft3bet 20% so I never expect to see in SB range hands like TT+, ATs+, KTs+, QJs, ATo+, KJo+ after he called preflop. So his 4bet range is PP heavy, and for sure he is no folding to shove any of them. But I don't want to coinflip! Think! On his PP heavy range we can use every card :T,J,Q,K,A as our out to bluff him out postflop. That's why I decided to call preflop.

Flop decision is easy after his x/r. It looks like shit because I expect (If he had) to cbet every Qx and Kx so x/r suckz ;] He showed: 9 of diamonds9 of clubs

Another hands I'm still not sure. Good reg, BB call vs SB 30, AFq flop 54, Bet vs Missed cbet 76, rcbet 25, bet T after raising flop 38. I don't want to cbet/3bet/call this hand. Cbet/call also sucks, because he can raise for tvalue Jx and xback the T. So decided to use his bluffing range, and not represent nothing by x/c flop. The turn play is one that confused me. One side I don't rep anything by x/r, the other he is maybe going to bluff on the river. Don;t know how to check which option is better. He was thinking whole time bank and folded. Funny thing is that I'm still x/c the T even without the spade because If I hit on the river he will have a crapy spot - huge implied odds here.

BIRTHDAY!

It's my 25th birthday today! This day makes you think about some stuff.

What did I achieve? 
Not as much as many worldwide players but still something. After 5 years I'm playing NL400-600 SH and living in Italy - It's something!

 Could I spent this time in a better more productive way?
Yeah sure, but I've got my rule. Anybody can make money and lose it in a second. Memories is something that nobody can take from you. I would play at least NL1k right now if I didn't buy my Canon 550d, catch biggest pike in my life, got an amazing freeride slope on snowboard through the forest after smoking some joints, dance on my friend's car at 7am, puke with my friend to the same bucket and many many other things. I don't regret any single one.

What now?
I'm an optimist, see things in a bright way. I will keep working on my game, keep teaching you guys and make my girlfriend the happiest person in the world every single day. I can handle everything the life will bring to me. After 5 surgeries I'm sure that nothing can brake me.

What about the adventure trips?
For 100% I'm going to Sweden in September for fishing and chilling. During the summer time, I will organize some survival. but still not sure where. In Poland the climat is pretty easy to survive... have to think about it.

Movies, edits, photography?
Now I'm creating a movie about my everyday routine. It's going to be something like "An avarage day of poker pro player".     

Most important thing for me?
Be happy, and make other people happy.

P.S 10k€ more and we will see some shots on NL1k! Can't wait!

Adventure in Scandinavia - best fishing trip ever!

Me and two of my friends decided to feel the connection with nature. As my father had the fishing shop, and recommended Sweden, we took Scandinavia as our destination. On 09.09.2011 we got my crapy car and went from Warsaw to Gdynia for our ferry to Karslskrona. As we were going to spend 7 days on the desert island, my car almost colapsed under 120 beers.


You know, its disturbing in Poland that we don't have enough signpost in the most important places. For example in Gdynia its fucking difficult to get to the biggest harbor in Poland wtf? At the end we found our ferry: 

On board everything went quite fast and after few minutes we were in our cabin. You probably know that I'm not the type of a gambler. I knew my odds while playing the slot machines, but two of my friends didn't... and maybe that was the reason why one of them got 1400€ for hitting the biggest possible prize:

(Chinese guy on the ferry from Poland to Sweden as a Casino boss - that's weird)


The night went crazy lot of booze few beers and at the end tequila shots destroyed us. In the morning we had  ~500km to get to my aunt in Stockholm. The roads are amazing there. All the time 150km/h-160km/h. We got to Stockholm after 4h, and my aunt told us that If you cross the speed limit by more than 30km/h they take your driving license. The speed limit was 100km/h :). At the and we went through the capital of Sweden by car just straight to amusement park to get some adrenaline. I felt like Jason Statham in "Crank"  after dropping from the right tower.


After one day we went to Vastervik when Kris (the owner of the island Torron) took us on his boat and transported to his island.  We arrived to heaven. Small island with 3 houses, grilling place, souna and something in type of jacuzzi under the sky.
We got like 3-6  pikes every day per person and it was really bad result. Guys before us got 150 in one week!


The Swedish culture doesn't know how to collect the muchrooms and what to do with them. As you can expect we found thousend of them:




Here you have some shots only from my iphone 4, because I haven't had my Canon 550d yet :(







The funny accident almost happened on our way back. We got really drunk on the ferry again. Some guys told us that every single time police is checking if you are not drunk leaving the ferry by car. Like all drunk people we didn't givea fuck about it... In the morning, my friend was driving we were going out of the ferry and we saw like 3 police cars were stopping passangers to check them. We were SO FUCKING LUCKY that they took the car ahead and behind our's... Never ever again... felt like Jasonm Statham in this Adrenaline movie one more time..

I'm organizing the same trip on the 1st-8th of September this year. We still have place for 5 people. If you are interested msg me on skype : soek111. Offer is till the 19th of May!

P.S Almost 5 figure month in poker ;)

ZOOM NL50 episode, big POTS and why I shouldn't play tournaments

Two days ago decided for 2nd time in my life to break the most important principle - Never play while drinking. My mental coach used to say  "I can play poker, YOU are going on war".

Decided to launch some NL50 zoom and the final result was 15BI :D


Look at sweet spots. Still running hot.


I heard that  people have bankrolls for MTT like 100BI, so I would loose half of mine ;) Every single decision If I have on less than 30bb is very complicated for me. Still not sure about some moves in push/fold phase. Think have to stop my tournament adventure till I get some coachings. I was playing 15€-250€ MTT turbo and normal one. Or maybe I just dont know the swings in torunaments?


Do you have any idea how to post handhistory not as an image?
