Back from Malta, started a new challenge

Malta was quite exciting, I had a great time toghether with Piratos. We enjoyed the weather, did a lot of sightseeing and off course played the pokerz.
The first few days I had a major upswing playing live cashgames, but unfortunately I lost a lot as well during the last few days on the island. Since I don't have a lot of live experience, I just took a break and played a little bit online, did some shopping and explored the island.

I went to a few real estate agents to have them find me an apartment in Malta, so I told them exactly what I was looking for, what my budget was and when I wanted to move. I also told them when I was leaving again so they could show me some apartments before I went back home. 2 days before I was leaving I got a call from one of the agents, asking me what I was looking for. Off course my first reaction was "WTF"?? I told the agent exactly what I wanted, some employee wrote it all down but now they're asking me what I'm looking for??
Telling this to the agent she replied; just look at our website, send me the reference numbers of the apartments that you like so we can take a look and see what's available. I told her that was exactly what I wanted the company to do for me so now I have so little time left I have to pass on looking for some living space for now. I'm gonna go back in january again and I'll make sure I have a huge list with references I can look at. This is the last time ever I'll rely on somebody else or the work they have to do. When I do it myself at least I know it will be done!

A completely other thing, I have had some discussions in the past with a friend of mine, who doesn't play a lot of online poker, just some friendly low stakes games with friends, who said it wasn't possible to make a decent amount of money in a short period of time if you deposit a small amount online. I said this was possible, referring to guys like Boku. His standard answer was; yeah but he's a very good player, players like you and me can't do that. So I decided to make a bet again:

If I start with $100 I can make $1k in 1 week. If I go bust I loose the bet off course. He laughed, said he'd give me 2 to 1 that I can't do it. I don't think I've ever said "ok, I'll do it" that fast in my life.

I was figuring out what would be the easiest money, the $1 45 mans seemed pretty ok for that. Made a game plan to play 45s for this week to see where it would bring me. the 45s are a liitle bit easier to multitable as well and could give me a higher roi than 9 or 18 mans. And the variance in these low stakes games isn't very high as well.

I'll be updating daily from now so you guys can follow my progress also.

First day of the challenge, on monday. Where I haven't played a bunch of games :D


I ran extremely hot in $1, but couldn't win in $3 unfortuately.

Day 2:


So day 2 went a lot better and i played a lot more games. I'm up to $250 now so I'll probably will mix in some $6.50s as well to see how they go. 

Thnx for reading and GL to everyone
