Legacy of the PopayJR
Hey all!
Welcome on my blog where i will be posting my progress in poker. But let start step by step:
Who am i?
I am 29 years old guy from Slovenia who is full time employed and wants to change that and live from playing poker. Two years ago i finnished my master degree of law, but my passion is in this amazing game. Currently i live in a small town in Slovenia with my girlfriend. We are paying a rent for flat 400 € per month (200€ / person), so i think we have pretty good conditions for playing poker. It is not that expensive that it could be. However, besides poker i am also a big fan of Iron Maiden.
How do i take care of my mindset?
- running (+ other sports),
- healthy food,
- ice cold shower,
- meditation
My poker journey so far:
I am playing poker for more than 10 years, but only as side income. Last year i decide to go more seriously in it. I bought a courses and i started studying and playing more. If i point out that in 2020 i was break even player, then i think i did improved my game - last year i made almost 4000$ profit. It could be better, i know, but it was really turbulent year (one month i was away from tables due to covid, i lost my job,...). Right now, i am in my CFP deal, goal is make 20k $ profit. I have a lot of videos and other content there + 1 on 1 sessions with coach. Currently i am at 2k$ profit after 160k hands.
I am playing No - limit 6 - max cash game. Currently i am at NL 25 and making a shots to NL 50. My winrate on NL 20 is 10-12 bb/100 hands over more than 100k hands.
Goals for this year:
- Become more constant player and crushing NL 50 till the summer.
Blog update:
Every monday with the results for past week + goals for new week.

Hi all!
I think I have to be happy with past week. I played good and make some money on the tables, I am also happy I made all the goals I set, except studying hours. I didn't track it but I think I put less hours on it. The reason is probably because I didn't stop playing at 2 am as was a plan and that means I sleep longer which takes me more time for studying 
Anyway I am happy I finished 2nd part of mindset videos.

Hi all!
Past week went quite bad. Action on the tables was very bad, at some point I thought I have to change the site but I decide I will stay here till the end of the month If It will be better. That's why I played just 6,5k hands. I always prefer table selection over grinding vs regs. Also I ran quite bad + my red line goes down. 😮 Not good, but It will be better

I start new year with downswing but I think I managed it and didn't lost that much. At the end of the month was 2 or 3 sessions very bad, I wasn't playing with right effort which cost me to make better month.
Hands: 42.514
Profit: +1963,55 $
Hi all!
Past week didn't go so well. I added one table of NL 200 but ran bad there. As I said on previous monthly report I didn't put right effort on the tables. Lost focus a little bit, I put myself too many times in the big pot with bad hand. Buuuuut I was studying with right effort and discipline so I am motivated
