Hello!
How are things? I have some extra exams in mid-juli and even though I can increase play a little, I will no go full on until 17th of july. I can though decide a schedule and I think I have learned a lot about disciplin and realistic planning this last year so I am pretty excited to start the grind actually.
I plan on spend 4 hours per day doing FLSH and 4 hours doing PLO (videos+playing+reading) and do that 5 days per week. Gonna shift the regular week slightly so gonna be free most sundays (possible hangovers) and mondays since fridays+saturdays feature the most action.
The difference this year is that the minimum stakes that I am willing to play is even lower and thus if I run bad, I will not take large breaks but just go down playing low, it feels more motivating. I go down to 0.5/1€ FLSH if I have to.
Checked my stats btw and this year and it has been bad in the sense that I wasted time, not money. But if I had my normal rakeback of 50-60% then I would have made more significant amount and that rakeback is gonna be nice too, allowing me to play lower if needed.
Found some sweet books too and found out how to crop and edit them so I can read them on my kindle and if I go to the states next school year I read about the casinos etc and perhaps I will become a live NL-grinder due to the availability of games etc. That could actually be pretty fun, if I find a nice casino with drinks and loose games and shit with my kindle then I am totally fine with playing NL1/2 too.
Btw, I could perhaps start to play higher, my plan is to cash out shitloads of FPPS+PPs etc this summer that I have stored up. So the value I have is like 6 times my current bankroll so I hope I can grind enough etc but we will see.

Good start after break! Up 754$ in play in a week!
Yoyo! How are things? As I mentioned, I took the longest pokerbreak ever for 3-4 weeks and just started playing a little in the end of may. Then played a little in june and yesterday I had a great day where I hit boards like a mofo but the suckouts+setups were actually insane, won 505$ yesterday at 1/2€ and 2/4€. Been playing mostly FLSH and up 754$ in play for june which is very nice considering the stakes. Just finished up a round of playing PLO and cashed in 30$ish dollars. Much more fun to play when u are winning :D.
Been playing some zoom NLHE which I wouldnt do if it werent loose enough and it appears that the spanish NL-players are not that great. Maybe I will continue that. Just did a test of playing exactly 10 minutes of 4table zoom and I got 183 hands. That means about 1100 hands/hour, pretty neat but we will see! Actually, that would be quite cool just to see. Baah maybe later, until then i will just "zoom" until I get my correct amount of tables during waitinglist etc.
Checked out a propsite as well that I used to play with. I was freaking up like 2500€ at NL there +120% RB and I used to get this emails "please come back, u are winning at our site" and it states the amount u are up. The thing is that I saw these emails time and time again and with me playing there, I noticed that the amount decreased and now I am only up on RB there. Anyways, I checked it out and they have made some nice software-improvements and it was a full 10/20€ NL-game (!!!) going on the day I checked and I was playing a 0.5/1€ which was just insanely good, even I was a winner in that game. Got called with 17BB-3bet with KK (I thought I perhaps made it too big) with A8s and Q7o by the steal and the SB and saw some ridicolous play. Probably gonna play that site since the deal is so good, just wish that they started with PLO which would be a lot nicer for me.
So happy times! Got the last physics exam on tuesday though so perhaps ill play a little poker to relax this weekend but not a lot until then. Then though I believe I will have some time. This exam is kinda important and not only do I need to pass, I need to do it with a pretty good grade since the grading works as I need to have an average of 50% for 2 tests and got a shitty score on the first one. This subject is challening and it kinda made me depressed since I felt unusually stupid (normally not the case :D) and thought I would fail this but after seeing the exam and now having exercises and solutions + I found out a good way to practice it then this negative feeling been changed with enthusiasm and hope :). But I better get on it now, hehe.
Have a great weekend guys!

Played a little, soon a lot!
Heyaaah!
Played poker the last days of may, had a superlong session the other day playing from like 2 till 6 and was down 260$ish dollars on FLSH+PLO and turned it around to +50$ and then yesterday a very quick session where I played very unfocused, lost 30$ish. Been thinking about how I should tackle poker in the future. An aquintance that I was studying that is/was a succesful pokerplayer scheduled it so that he played 0 hands of poker while studying (9 months of the year) and just basically grinded the summer. That summer I studied with him he got very high grades and he didnt really say anything but according to PTR, he won like 60 000$ that summer. Thats more then enough for me :D. In my current state, I would be totally happy with 15 000$ :D. Its just that I have this idea about volume etc but I dunno. I think I will continue with my current style, play 15-40 hours per months when I feel like it an grind the summer, I hope this one to go up in PLO which I have mentioned b4.
Btw, I did a video that I am gonna upload. I realized that I am a bit retarded though, it didnt appear to me that rendering a 60-min long video with full HD-res would take some time, I believe its on the 6th hour right now and its freaking frustrating since im afraid its gonna lag. Actually, just realized that that is no problem, I have two computer, woho!! Btw, I believe I have mentioned this but the current setup I have with a 24"+2 laptops with 4port USB-hub is such an amazing thing. Just change the USB-hub to the other computer and connect the HDMI and boom, I have 1 tb extra storage, a seperate keyboard+mouse, a printer and an extra port for whatever. No need for a second set of mouses etc. Btw, im kinda drooling over this screen which is just amazing and very price--worthy IMO.
Ohh after this I played some FLSH and got a decent start for june. Was up 400$ but finished +300$ instead, still nice! Video comes up very soon, probably gonna upload it in school on monday due to our poor connection.
