Pool day went well. we won 4:2 as a team. Me+teammate were unlucky and lost doubles 4:5. But after that I won my single game in 9-ball 6:5, was a tough match. when it was 5:5 I break and run a game without mistake. Overall very happy with result, but I could play a bit better.

Today I will play poker again.

Funny sessions yesterday. Played more or less one 1hour and was BE all the time until funny moment happend. 3 tables at the same time I lost 3BI, KK agains AA preflop and set over set twice, stack off on the flop

BR at SJ: 450$

Today I am going for dinner with my wife and friends and after that maybe I will play short session.

Played some sessions last couple of days. Was a rollercoaster ride.

Dropped to 370$ at one point but now I am back at 535$. Will play one or two more sessions today.

Unfortunately I still didn't receive $$ from last month rake race, so couldn't game it away on TonyBet.

after two more sessions I stopped at BR of 553$.

I added one nl50 table, just to get used to the stakes a bit. Also I do not follow any BR management, so I guess it doesn't matter that I have only 10BI for it.
It was a ride again, went quickly to 600 then dropped to 510 and won 3way AI to stop at 553.

So far I cleared 6% (3*10$) of xmas bonus and hopefully will clear at least 10-14% more.

Tomorrow is pool day.

I received rake race money on TonyBet, so lets gamble it away:

stake 10e



stake 8e

Played only 30min in last 3 days and I am still at 550$ at StanJames. I got lucky at TonyBet and won one betslip. Now I have 40e there.

If you guys know any value bets for today?

My latest bets.

so the results from yesterday:




Ajax

Didn't play any poker, went to cinema to watch new StarWars instead. Today we are going to party with friends so no poker until Saturday evening.

Played one session yesterday, and dropped to 495 BR will drop nl50 table for today, since most of the loss was from there. Will add it again when i cross 550e mark.

Also did a sport bet for today, more games than usual but with bigger reward. Betting/gamble roll is 70e.

Long day today. decided to play 5 tournaments and finished on Final table in two of them.

- 10e freezout 2/90 for 189e
- 5e rebuy (in for 15e) 8/897 for 201e (lost flip agains chip leader 1st hand of FT).
- 3e freezout bust out out of the money
- 10e 1R+1A bust out of the money
- 5e 1R+1A bust out of the money

Also made some profit at cash games while playing those tournaments and my StanJames br is 914$. Unlucky with sport bets today and TonyBet br is 45e.

Didn't play poker yesterday, but made a one sport bet.


TonyBet BR is now 103,7e

SJ: 890$
TB: 85e

Was losing everywhere

Not playing at all. Enjoying Chrostmas.

SJ: 905$
TB: 85e

2016 is over.

Unfortunately not much to say about it poker wise. Didn't play much and I think it was more or less BE year for me. I played many games, couldn't find the power to focus on one game and thats one of the big reason i haven't won much. BUT NO REGRETS.
Also I finished it with -130e in our traditional Christmas cash game.

On the other hand, lot of stuff happened outside of the poker.

I made huge progress in the work, and became very valuable not only for my team but also for a company (at least I guess). I am one of the 4 top seniors in our team of 22 people. I am mentoring juniors, leading projects, doing interviews, improving processes. And I hope much more is coming. I also became part of the "event" team and we are organising events for whole company. Check the video of the Christmas event we organized for 180 people.



I traveled a lot, but the biggest highlight is that I bought 51m^2 apartment in centre of Amsterdam. I consider this as a great investment.

WELCOME 2017

I have some plans for the year, in poker and also outside of the poker.

POKER GOAL is to beat nl50.

NON POKER goal is to progress even more in work and at the end of the year or at the beginning of 2018 to go somewhere out of the Europe for 1 year to gain even more experience. I am considering Miami, San Francisco or Singapore. In other words, some crazy place.

------

and one funny:

Tomorrow I have 1st session with "life coach" and we will talk about if playing poker is good for me. Its not super serious, coach is my friend, and she is studying for it. She already has 10 clients and this was last chance for me to get it for free. They usually cost 150-200e per hour. She also want to try something else than basic coaching, bcs nobody asked her for anything specific like me. I am rly curious what will come out of it.

I also wish all the readers happy new year and lot of success in your life.

GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN

just finished played 1st session of 2017. played 1h of mixing 4*nl25+2*nl50. Won 103$ and my BR on SJ is 1009$

Pool day yesterday. Finished 1st in the local tournament with ~30 people. Buy in 3e and won 30e in credits. Also played some 0.25/0.25 cash game with 200bb "min" buy-in. While w8ting for games and won 150e.

January is over and I played only one session online, one live and finished in profit of 250$. other than that I am still running hot in pool competition with result of 9 wins from 10 games. There is only one player better than me with 100% from 6 games. And there is a chance I will play him in next round, as he plays for a team we still need to play to finish 1st half of the season. I hope I can take him down and become the best player after 1st half of the season from ~80 players.

During the January I was I Slovakia once and two times in Spain. Life is good.

I spent some of my December profit on gifts for my wife so i'll take it easy in February and will start with nl25.

Good Luck at the tables and Have Fun
