Recap Octomber

Soo,



Was an interesting month, ups and downs, some days pretty motivated, some not At all.
Poker wise went not that well $$ wise, if in the beginning of the month my game and my mental was not that good and i spewed  some buy-inns on tilting/spews on the last days/week when i give shot on NL 50, i felt that my mental and my game was pretty good, with all that i didn"t reach to stay on this stake, because Mother variance hit me like a beast :D. But I'm OK with this and not like other failed shots, my confidence is super OK, not moaning at all.I know that if i will putt the work in there is a matter of time to go up again.

A lot of this stuff i realized reading the mental game, watching some variance videos and helped me a lot to understand poker more.I am grateful for the variance in poker because wo this will be a F&**ing shitty/boring game.

So last month by stakes:



Not looking good but this is what it is.My bank for this shot at Nl 50 was a 4th place on a 10$ tourney for ~400$,and not the Nl 25 which was not that great.



Other than that, not to good. Last week i went on a pretty intense training to be prepared for the Sunday game and after that i felt like shit, can not breathe normally, almost fainting.
Thursday I had another training and i have this sick felling again and i know if i will push i will not be good.
So Sunday on the game,warming up, feeling ok-ishh then the game start.. 5 minutes later feeling again awful, can not breathe At all, make-ing a lot of movies in my head that i will be pass-ing on the pitch..
Half time, talked w the guys and decided to not play anymore but since then my breathe is not that normally and have a pinch lower on the left side of the chest.
Tomorrow I'm going to a doctor and hopefully it will not be something major, maybe some gathered fatigue from those training's w a shitty sleep routine.



I the last post i wrote my goals for October, so this is how it goes:

So there will be 2 kinds of goals:
"-" is for the goals not that hard to do.
"+" is for the goals doable but needs some consistency and motivation.

+150 hours  of playing    only ~90 hours 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Listen 20 podcasts of Jared Tendler or Eliot Roe    X
+ 40 podcasts   ~16 (more than 1/day will be exaggerated if i want to absorb the info from them)

3 posts on the blog   X(only 2 :( )

Finish "The Mental game of poker" by Jarred Tendler which i started this month that is also gold and helped my mental game a Lott.  this was a big fail, only 1/4 of it.. even that 1/4 of this book make me see poker different.


With a bit more planning ahead  and less laziness this could be done better.And for this i will aiming to improve on November.

More about me and goals for October

What"s up


Since the last post things does not went pretty well money wise, so with a pretty smallish bankroll for no limit 50, i decided to drop down to 25 play relaxed and build a decent BR for moving up.
The other things like the work ethic, mental game went pretty well, i was very motivated, wrote my goals for every working day and tried to accomplish.

Life wise stuff is super OK.Since the start of last month i reconciled(don"t know if is the correct word)  w my girlfriend and we have nice time together.She"s a good and smart person and i learned a lot from her, also borrowed her book that recommend "The law of success" from Napoleon Hill which is ok-ish untill now.Also last month i finished "Man search for meaning" by Viktor Frankl which was GOLD...Easily I'm trying to get into the reading much more to keep my self motivated and because have a lotttttt to learn,  so expect to see another names here.

The only shit that happen real life wise was that i got my knee injured after i played in a small slide for children FML =)).. and will not be able to play football 3 weeks or so (also play football in the 4th league in Romania).Because of that, i missed the most awaited game of the season,with a team that last years was in the 1st league and went bankrupt and now started from the bottom, on the same stadium*,with very nice conditions for 4th league trying to get back in top league.

That"s mostly of the things that happen in the last weeks, hope to stay motivated like i am now, run better and by the end of the month to be again on nl 50 and complete my goals for October that i will write below:
