So.. I have no idea what to start with. Haven't been posting for a while (forgot password to my previous blog so now I'll be posting here). A while? Well maybe a little longer. Ok - more than 3 months. Fair enough.

For those who don't know me I'm a 19 year old guy from Poland who moved to the UK (Manchester) in October last year. From September 2007 I'm going to study business and management. I finished high school in Poland in May last year and I decided to go on a gap year and save some money before uni time. I've been playing poker for a little more than 1 year (but loads of lengthy breaks) and that's why I'm still grinding NL100 and taking shots at NL200. I think that's all you need to know if you haven't been reading my previous blog.

Right, so let's see what I've been doing for the last few months. Well I was supposed to have my broadband set up and ready like a week after arriving in Manchester but.. I got it in the end of December (fuck BT). Typical. So for 3 months I've been working as a waiter etc. During this time I played barely no poker. I only went to circus casino in manchester and apparently finished 3rd in £20 rebuy and ended up winning £1000 (about $2000). For the first half of January I was busy with my university applications so I started playing again just a few days ago. I was planning to quit my job and just play poker in the end of february/beginning of may but yesterday I had a bad day at work and was really fed up with everything so I decided to quit. And so I did. The worst part is that I'll have to work for about 10 more days because of the 2-weeks notice. But I can handle it. I can't wait to start a new life style. Well don't think that I'm nuts or sth and how could I've decided to play fulltime nl100. I've got some savings etc. and money for a few months of living plus my bankroll so I don't have to worry about anything. I just want to try sth new. I'll see how the things will be going till september but I'm going to the uni fo shizzle.

I'm not sure what's my bankroll because it's divided between few rooms and neteller. Ok let's count it. So now it's about 5,6k so I think I'll continue playing nl100 till I get to 7-8k and then I'll give nl200 another shot (3rd I think). Right now I'm playing on Stars cause I need to get my party rakeback set up again and I don't like FTP lately. Oh of course I play only 6max tables (I hate fullrings, well except for live games). For the last few days I've played a bit and I must say that I've been running pretty bad but still made a good profit and maintained a solid winrate. Here are my stats so far:

Considering the number of suckouts I had in 200bb+ pots, this results are simply awesome. I feel I've been playing pretty well but I also made some stupid bluffs against wrong/unknown opponents and it should've never happened. I thing I haven't made any bad calls in large pots and I've made a few big laydowns (I'm pretty sure I was right in most cases though). I'm trying to work on my post flop play and agression and I'm really happy to see that my "Won $ WSF %" went up by about 8-10%. Now I'm just going to continue grinding low limits online and untill I finish working at my restaurant I won't be able to play that much but later my goal is about at least 2k hands daily (let's make it 50k a month) while 4 tabling. But in 2 weeks I think I'll start 6 and 8 tabling again so the numbers will go up.

Apart from playing online I'm also going to play some live cash games. Last week I went to play a bit live but the lowest stakes were $2/$2 pot limit so its about $4/$4 so I can't play these games comfortably yet. But I can't wait to get a proper bankroll for them (let's say 20-25 buyins will be enough for live games, what do you think about it?) cause they're ridiculously soft. I think nl25 online is even tougher nowadays. Last time I would end up winning about £600 (=$1200) but I was running terribly (i.e. I've got 77, flop 7TA, turn T, river K, and this wanker showed me his KT) and overal I was down about £100. But I've also found 2 other casinos with texas holdem in Manchester and tommorow I'll probably try out one of them. I hope they'll have some nl£100 or even nl£50 games running.

I probably forgot about some important stuff but if you want to know anything just post a comment.

Oh and one more thing. New episode of Prison Break airs tommorow! Seriously the best tv show ever.
