i thought about it for some time, and i decided do run a blog. A little background maybe:
I'm a student of Warsaw Institutte of Technology, for now at least, 23 years old.
I don't remember exactly when i started playing online poker, but i think it was around spring/summer 2005. Two friends showed me this game - marknazzal and tomsOn, and for that i owe them, cause i don't know how my life would look like now, if i didn't know about online poker, they also brought to the game Eo. and StratusS, so there was 5 of us struggling to win $ from this game, as much as we could. I started playing freerolls on regular basis ( cause i never wanted to play for my own money ) there was absolute, pacyfic, poker.com, and couple other sites. But it was hard to win $, cause there ware so many pla<x>yers in every tournament and so small number of pla<x>yers in the money. In December tomsOn gave me like 50$ to play, cause he thought i was wasting my time with freerolls. I played on PS and made enough to give him back, what he gave me, but than i lost everything ( my game was so horrible back than ). And then was a breakthrough, i got 10$ in casion-on-net - part of Paccific poker, and i played there on machine to make 20$ and get it from there to my bank account. When it was there i didn't know where can i deposit it, and marknazzal said to deposit to EverestPoker, and i did. It was 21.12.2005 and the money was on pokerroom on 23.12.2005. I started playing there from NL2 like everyday, moving up with 25BI, moving back on 20BI. After some time i got to NL200 and couldn't make it to stay on NL400, but eventually with help of tomsOn and Mark i improved my game and i did enough money to start looking for an appartment to rent in Warsaw in january 2007 and become a Pro ( well, a low stakes Pro i guess ).
For the last 4-6 weeks i was handling my downswing. I lost ~60% of my BR at NL200 and i wanted to get it back. I made it and soon after that i took high place in an MTT tournament, so i can play NL400 safely - for my state of mind. I play for now 4 tables NL400, i used to do 6-8 of NL200/NL400 for the last couple months.
I have my exams in September ( cause i failed in June so much ), so i should be learning.
To take my mind off i run on racetrack, exercise with dumbbell and barbell, meditate and i trained Taiji for some time. I also played tennis for many years, i enjoy swiming, sailing, pool, bridge.
And i love Tequila. :D
I hope this blog will help me to improve my game, and overall in my life, cause it will make me wonder about stuff I do every day, and i will be able to look at things from perspective.
