Hello,
I did not post update in my blog for 3 and half years (wow, how the time flies) but its interesting to read some of my older stuff. I was kinda desperate, living with my parents, just ended my bw career and was playing very low stakes of fullring. A lot of things have changed.
I grinded my way up to midstake, took some shots at 5-10, but played mostly 200nl 6max in my career. I also satellite in some tourneys and played PCA Main, WSOOP Main, EPT Prague Main, RED Dragon(Macau) Main. I did quite good and cashed a bit. It also allowed me to travel a bit. I visited Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Macau, Thailand etc. I lost all of my poker drive mostly because I did not spend too much of my money, because I felt like I did not need anything. And when you don't spend your money, and you don't need any money, grinding seems kinda pointless. I still enjoy the big tourneys, because you get to travel and meet interesting people.
I always struggle with purpose in life(like all the semi intellectuals that got plenty of time on their hands). Never felt like I belong somewhere and figured out who I actually am. This is mostly due to loosing 10 years of my development years to Starcraft. But slowly I am working on myself. Figuring the things I like, what kind of people I like to be around, What are the social rules. You know its hard. But mostly I am learning to become grateful. Grateful for all the free time, poker, opportunities, health, my family, and this beautiful world around me.
Since Its after the new year and you should set yourself with some goals, mine go like this:
1. Figure out where I want to live and get myself a place of my own(I never had a place of my own for the last 3 years, just traveled and rented), its nice to have your own place(and stuff) you can come back to.
2. Get in shape! (this is VERY important for sooo many reasons)
3. Get some social circle running. (When you travel, Its hard to keep your friends)
4. Create, don't be just a consumer. This is a very big thing for our generation. We consume everything: Video games, Movies, TV Series, poker. We just watch and use, we don't create enough.
5. I still think I wont find a better income in next few years, that i can get from poker, that is why I will continue to work on my game.
Thank you for reading.

See you in next three and half years.

I let my school progress get destroyed by counter-strike and wc3 and didn't end up graduating college but I never let games interfere with my drinking/partying/social time.
still if I could go back id obviously cut video games out of my life completely |
