Two things started with letter "P"

1. Photography

My English teacher, who hopefully doesn't read this, is a professional photographer. His blog: http://www.blogfot.com.pl

I can say that he showed me the way. Basic things like aperture, ISO, speed of shutter which are the fundamental for photography. Also processing photos in Camera RAW which is an additional program for Photoshop CS 5.1+. 

And my equipment:

- Canon EOS 550D (Asia is going to buy 650D soon)

- Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 AF

- Samyang  8mm f/3.5 Fisheye

2. Poker

Actually I can repeat my words from the last poker post. "I'm doing my job". Trying to be better everyday. Working with best guys in Poland and few guys from UK.

This year so far:

- 300h played
- watched ~30 movies
- ~30h of coachings
- at least 20 training meetings with friends
- analyzing hands after almost every session

I've started a little tournament adventure. Adding on Sunday one to three major tournaments with BI 100€-250€ to my cash tables. No spectacular results but I still have to find my game there.

 As I'm playing NL200-NL1k in € score is fine not great but fine. Also since I'm playing SCOOPs I'm forced to play nl500 zoom which is going really good since they don't know me.















From the point where the extreme upswing appeared I've changed my game a little. I've been loosing on non-sd to much. Fallowing the rule "make your weaknesses to be your strongest assets" I searched whole internet to find everything about non-sd play. It looks like it helped:

Really love defining his range by checking the turn, and my big bet on flop where his range is Ax heavy.
