I didnt make an update for quite some time, so here it goes.
April
April wasnt a great month in poker for me. I didnt really played much and when I did, I didnt play great and ran bad. All in all, I lost a bit of money, nothing big, in total -$6,470.
May
In May I returned back to Unibet after a couple months because I wanted to stay in the Unibet CZ/SK team, which required some activity on my part. I also wanted a change, because I wasnt quite winning for some time, so about halfway through the month, I deciced to do a lot of midstakes multitable grinding (8-9 tables), which really isnt my style, but I needed a change. Sadly, the results kept being poor no matter what ever change I did. Partly I ran bad, but partly of course I wasnt playing my best game all the time and there were about 2-3 sessions in which I definately should have quit way sooner and save myself a couple thousand.
Last thing why this month ended up to be the worst month of my poker careeer so far was my shot at NL 50/100 Heads-up against an Italian semiregular, against whom I was clearly +EV, but sadly the one big hand of the match up ended up to be a huge suckout against me, where I lost a 19k euro pot with KK overpair + 2nd nfd against just a str8 draw allin on turn )(http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690722). NL 50/100 is way above my normal limits, so this was quite a hit for me, but yea, I took the risk voluntarily and fully aware of it, so no problems, wasnt even too angry. What I was angry about was the fact that he didnt want to give me more action soon after that.
Here is the screenshot of the month:

It is in euros, so it is over $20k lost online in May, but at least I ran decently in small live tournaments in a local casino, so I made a bit of money playing live. My final score for May is -$20,345. It is by far my worst monthly score ever.
June plans
For June, I have got some poker travelling planned. First, I am flying to Vegas, coming June 2, but staying only till June 19. We have a house rented with a couple of friends from Czech Republic. My plan is to play about 4-5 smaller WSOP tournaments, prolly the 6-max tourneys, then a 2k freeze or 2 and then maybe 1 plo event, dunno yet. Other than poker, I also want to party a bit and maybe meet up with some of u LiquidPokerians and simply have a good time. I am definately looking forward to Vegas time. Only 2 days left till my arrival 
After coming back from Vegas, I intend to go to Barcelona for the WPT Barcelona tournament (5k euro freezeout). I have never played poker in Spain before, so I am quite curious how tough the fields will be there. Tbh I expect quite a lot of weaker players there, but really I dunno. After the tournament is over, I probably want to stay a few days in Spain on the seaside somewhere at Costa Brava, just relaxing etc. I have been there last year and its pretty nice there, so I am looking forward to coming there again.
Thats probably about it for now. Maybe one last thing - I will probably be looking to sell some pieces of me in at least some of the tournaments I have planned, definately in WPT Barcelona (5k euro is quite a lot for me, would like to sell like 40% of my action). So if any of you are interested, leave me a message in comments or pm me.

Yea lol. Well I play PLO only occassionally, I am not sure if I can beat 5/10 PLO longterm atm. But that one "minisession" there were 2 hyper sick fish at the table, so I just sat in, stacked one of the fish and took about half of the otherfish's stack, then they left and I called it a session  |
