Failed to make it as a pro since July 2011 (well who would try it at NL25 -NL50,only a mad man, but I feel great for trying).

EDIT: mad man in the UK in the Capital of Scotland where overheads like rent are extreme when compared to my country of origin ( small city in The Czech Republic) or Russia not even mentioning Africa. I have a very happy NL50 Russian pro in my poker group

Applied for 10 jobs last 2 days from a cook in a local pub, overseas financial adviser to english teacher in China.I will do anything really just to get some moneys and grind pokers on the side.

It all got fucked up when I took on the ghost writing jobs and wrote most of my gf's postgraduate dissertation, since then I got burnt out and my epic regime never took off again to the state it was when I started playing poker full-time. It was some 2 month derail with overnight dull work on financial forecasting and female luxury goods, and the past 2-3 months after that have been really bad volume vise and regime wise..

Now the very same girlfriend that I basically finished 40%+ of her postgraduate year for 'wants a break', mentioned a year long one ,sleeps at her friend's and went partying with her friend tonight. When I mentioned break up she freaks out and asks what kind of love it is I have for her lol females.

Oh well, life is life and I <3 poker for forcing me to not give a fuck and not look into the past.

Also, RIP my grandfather, I went for the funeral to The Czech republic on Dec 11th and came back 3 days ago. It really sucks when I live abroad and haven't seen him at all in one year, it got to me quite bad. It's not easy talking to your elderly relatives over the phone when all you hear is how bad they are coping, I was a bit of a coward for not calling my grandpa and grandma because I knew they are ill and will hear the active people as I know them only tell me about their struggle. Don't ignore your family I tells you.

All in all, 2011 was a good year. I graduated successfully, did what I had to before moving on - fail at micros, finished my gf's degree and was with my family over Christmas for the first time in five years.

So I am here, feeling pretty positive, alone, on New Year's eve with my two friends I brought from my trip to CZE:

Graph since Late July 2011

+ about 10BI from Bodog without hud and tracking
+ 57% rb on eurosites RB, FPP sng's on Stars.
Life expenses, writing other people's papers and your GF's dissertation for free and dota are a bitch, it is possible indeed to make it at micros but it's very hard if not impossible to move up.

Plans for 2012: The world ends anyway I saw it in a movie...
Seriously though, I will sort it out with my (asian) GF or fly solo for a while, get a job and grind stress and cashout free. I'm not even sure in which country yet, although I got student debt in the UK which I'd like to get rid of before I move on to likely destinations like Czech Republic, China, or Thailand. It's too fucking depressing in here in Autumn-Winter.

EDIT: Oh and I also have a bet going on with my mum on who loses more KGs in 6 months, loser pays return plane ticket for the other one. If I lose I might as well shoot myself as she is over 50 and I a, a former high level sportsman

GL LP, I go drink my friends and hit the Edinburgh nightlife solo like a very drunk lonely hawk
