It's really cool to see this reality of brutal variance, please keep posting. This blog even encouraged me to create a similar one.

Good luck! 😀

Hey guys,

I finaly managed to get to a point where I can see some stability and I can enjoy my life. I was in some muddy watters, but I did the work and got to the shore.

Thanks for the support! The hate also helped in some way. 😀

This thread served its purpose and I will close it now.

Good luck and see you at the tables!

I honestly feel sorry for you too.... seems you have some entitlement tilt issues and think because you study and make all the right plays poker owes you in the long run
and you can build a solid foundation for yourself and your loved ones of solely playing a card game for 60+ hours a week probably .

I really hope im wrong or that u succeed because its not only your own life that depends on it so glgl in whatever you are doing.

Hello guys,
I`m back! Starting this week I will play SNGs + MTTs on stars plus some games on other platforms. I will play the early morning session so I need more platforms to open enough games.

BTW, I`m broke and motivated. 😀

Motivated to get up from the hole I got myself in, like 0 reserves and 0 bankroll. As a reserve I got my mother where I can borrow fast 2-3k (already borrowed 1k), another 3k in a 401k like pension fund, or sell my car. I don`t like any of these options, but it`s a good thing I got them, because even if I run realy bad, I have some safety nets. So, I have cash to live for 1 month before I have to activate a safety net. Let`s hope I will make some splits fast on any of the platforms I will play.


The challenge: Take the power back!
Fix my financial life. I will do that with baby steps and grind myself out of this.

Part 1:
-make enough money to live for 1 month, than 3 months
-create a 3k bankroll for pokerstars and play on my own here
-create reserves to live for 4-6 months
-bankroll on stars of 5k
-buy a new computer(5kish) and maybe restart twitch for a couple of hours/day
-10k reserves put into bonds for fast acces, in case of need(this will include a big part of the 4-6months reserves)

Part 2:
-buy a one room apartment and rent it
-buy the second one
-buy the 3rd one
-now I can buy a normal apartment/house to live in it with a credit from the bank. The credit will be paid with the rents from those 3 “garsoniere”(one room apartament).
-after that, sky is the limit

During this challenge I will enjoy life. In my last challenges I was separating the poker challenge from the life challenge, but there are inseparable. In case I will do this again here, it`s only in writting.

Short summary of what happened to me this 3 years:
In october 2019 my son was born. Best thing ever, but to be honest, I wasn`t thinking like this at that moment. I was focused on making money, wanting to buy a house, providing (the manly thing 😃) and I wasn`t enjoying that much my time spent with him or my girlfriend, because I was a man on a mission: make money. I was stupid! But with time, I learned to be empathic again, to love, to learn, to be more flexible (I still need a lot of work in this areas, but I`m on the right track) wich helped me understand some things better, but that was to late for my relationship so we broke up. Now we are raising our son as coparents and we both moved to Bucharest. The breakout wasn`t that bad for me, but I still decided to go to teraphy. If I will be the lawmaker, teraphy will be mandatory and free for everyone because it`s a super power.
Other points:
-I`m dating someone for 3-4 months and it`s great. She is smart, supportive and looks like we can build a nourishing relationship. Did I mentioned she`s ****ing hot?! 😀
-I lost 11kg in a year, from 88 to 77. To be safe I should go down to 73Kg even though I`m sexy enough right now. 😀 For the moment I just want to keep that in check and focus on poker for a couple of months.
-I started walking a lot, like 250-300km/month. It helps with the kilos and it relaxes me. I also got a subscription to Blinklist and I can listen to short blinks while walking
-I also stopped falling asleep with a movie and just read 2-6 pages before sleep. Looks like nothing but at he end of the year I will have a few books “under my belt”. 😀
-I have a small leg injury so I can`t play football for a while. Let`s hope I will be fit to do this in the autumn.
-I remember now I stopped smoking when I was doing the old challenges and now It`s like 4 years or so since
-I restarted meditation for 10 minutes before the session. This should also be mandatory for everyone, another super power

Things I want to do in the near future:
-do some full contact sport to get the tension out and to get in shape.
-take some improvisation lessons. I hear it`s therapeutic and fun.
-try some ecstatic dance
-twitch
-expand my social life a little. Reconnect with some old friends and make new ones.

See you at the tables! GL!...
