Just came to say that in three months I sold all my principles and tried out GG poker. This was partly because there haven`t been hardly any action in Party or other networks and partly because I am spineless worm. Hit instantly some sort of heater. If money keeps coming like this I think I will give it a serious shot. Would play otherwise in Coin-Poker but prefer these "legal" sites before the gambling - law changes in Finland. Don`t really know how the license system it is going to effect to the opportunities but rather make some legit euros just in case that something dramatic happens.

Year so far. Also made some rb (between 7-8k$). First 35k hands in Party and rest in GG.

Thank you for the kind words guys!

Going to drop December update now because I have really no time to grind anymore in this year. I had so many gigs in December that I really did not have too much time to play poker. The idea was to grind a lot during the Christmas but got sick and have just been in the bed last three days so volume was pretty pathetic as usual. I will make one more update after this where I will put final report about the whole blog. Played one session in Stars and also one a couple in 888 which are not included in the graph.

Stars: + 500$
888: + 1239$
Party: +7163$

+8902$

Year +66 598

Discharge rules! Inspired by your message Ramon I thought that now it would be good time to make some plans for 2024. I am still in Vietnam, but returning to Finland mid February and that is when real poker starts.

Here few notes/goals for the next season:

Short sessions high focus:
-concentrate quality of the game rather than volume. Never play more than 3h straight unless games are super juicy. Make notes constantly and concentrate all the time to the fish.

No result peeking
-only check results once a month

Study
-mark hands where you don`t understand how the spot work, shove them in the solver and try to figure out what the hell is going on here

Live Poker only when sober
-what comes to live poker I must say I am terrible at I keep losing in the softest games year after year. I know I have been running horrible at all the big pots I have been playing since 2017 and one point I kind of accepted my fate and now when I go playing I already expect to lose and surely I usually do. I don`t play it too often though but when I play I am usually highly toxicated with arrogant attitude and volatile style. This costs me every year few thousand euros which is not much but it still sucks. Those mornings are the most horrible ones when I have been drinking and punting money all night so for the next season I will make this simple rule. If I want to play bigger than nl100 live I can do it but this means that I have to be sober. Maybe live poker will come my sober hobby or I will find it so boring that I will quit completely.

Learn heads up
-this is not too important but I am interested to hire coach who would teach me some basics about how the approach heads up poker. I can do CFP style contract or pay hourly. If here is somebody who is interested to coach me just throw me pm. Coach obviously must beat high stakes heads up games. There is also another Finnish guy who could possibly want to learn hup also so we could form some sort of study group. I am good student and reliable horse.

Update blog once a month
-just like last year

These are my goals and first update will come in the end of February.

Lets go!
