aaalmost... I just withdrew the rest of my money from Pokerstars account and uninstalled the software.
So the topic name was just to lure people into entering my blog I believe.
I decided to study for the exam to Warsaw School of Economics and go for Master degree. Previously I was thinking of
becoming a grinder for one year after finishing my bachelor and to travel around the world for a bit more. I was checking
appartments in South Korea, Brazil and Australia where I would be staying with a friend. But the life goes on, and your
priorities change over time. I can't say I don't want to travel around the world no more, but I don't think I want to be doing that spending most of my time grinding. If I manage to get in into WSE I'll get the chance of having another student exchange. I want to visit South America so probably I would be applying to Sao Paulo, who knows.
Additionally I don't think I have the mentality of a grinder. I remember when almost two years ago I started off playing @ NL2. Once, I sat @ NL10 being underrolled and the blinds were sooo huge to me. I literally felt the pressure of being in the BB having 10cents on me. I was like "Can't let 74o go... my 10 cents... aaaaa". Now it really doesn't bother me that much if I lose couple houndred knowing that I played well.
However, having swings bothers me. I spent two months playing poker every day having no other activities aside. It was pretty much unproductive period of time. I was going sleep later, and later every day. I felt like shit going to sleep when the sun was going up, and waking up when it was going down.
If I had the chance to repeat those two months I would have set some sort of schedule, and for sure other regular activities, duties - learning other languages in some school two, three times a week, doing sport ( alto I am not a fan of doing it during winter indoors ) or anything else
except poker. First two weeks were ok, but then I was just exhausted with the downswings and couldn't play any good poker. I was still up for the 2 months but I am certain that I could get a better result if I spend half of the time doing something else, in a different
environment away from the computer.
Another thing is that I realized that I don't care about money. I thought that once I have some, I would like to spend it - well... I don't...I don't have too many materialistic needs - or none. All the money I have comes from poker. I made about 10K$ over last 6 months which I haven't touched really as I still live with my parents. Previously I made also some money playing live in Macau, and Philipines but I was spending a lot on travelling and partying so I didn't earn so much - maybe brought home only 2 or 3K.
I still am visiting LP.net every day, and following the scene but playing is not the main focus now.
However, I'll be going to Las Vegas in September. My cousin's wedding is in Florida by the end of the Sept, so I am most likely to be in States before to see LV. I will probably be staying there 2-3 weeks to play. It would be fun to see any LPers there
