It's been awhile since I did an update I really have to keep up with it.
It seems like I'm finally catching a break for the new year. After having an extremely low start regarding profits and volume, I managed to made a decent amount of games for this month plus running at >30% ROI.
So making a nice amount of profits helps me a lot with my mindset obviously. Something I needed because I had a hard time commiting myself to normal volume because I was losing so much.
My diet is still going and I added 1.5 kg to my total bodyweight. I picked up some vitamine pills called "probiotica" which are good bacteria for my stomach and they help me digest food in a better way.
So all in all this month everything going great.
In a few weeks I'll be heading back to Malta as well and get an apartment. Another dutch poker player found a house yesterday in Buggiba so we're gonna have some fun at the end of this month.
I went out yesterday because carnaval (some beerfest) started but it wasn't as fun as a few years ago. There were loads of people waiting outside to get in the club so it was way to crowded to have a good time. Maybe tonight is better because lesser people will go out. We'll see.
That's it for now thnx for reading.

2011 not going great so far
After a bad start for this year it seems that I can't get into it. Poker isn't going as I hoped it would go and I still have a bit of trouble getting into the grind. It builds and builds, so I am on the right track, I just need to get things moving a bit faster.
My diet goes well regarding eating, I added a few things to do my diet, like a bit of fastfood and a small amount of weightgainer. I'm comfortable eating more than I did, but the results aren't visible yet. I guess I shouldn't focus on that and shouldn't think short term about my weeight. I've been going back and forth between 55kg and 53kg. I'm sure I'll add some pounds in the next weeks, I just have to stop looking at the scale every 2 days or so. I'll put up some more pics when there's a decent change.
A short update for now, more will follow..

Diet started: pics and plans
Ok here I go, I want to get FAT! Oh wait, not fat, but in decent shape.
I'm way too skinny now, so I need to gain some weight. I weigh 55kg/121lbs at the moment. I'd like to add at elast 10kg/22lbs
i will keep my progress here in my blog, for the most part to keep myself honest and motivated.
I have to get at least 2K calories/day to gain some decent weight, so I set up a diet for the first few days/weeks.
This diet will expand after time and i will add a few things to eat in between, like healthy, calory rich snacks etc.
I did eat a lot already, but it was food with low calories or something or food which was justplain unhealthy.
I found a list of food and the calories they have so I tried to find a lot of stuff that wouldn't "fill my hunger" but do add some weight in time, so I can eat more and more.
My diet so far;
Breakfast: Calories:
4 slices of brown bread: 304
2 with peanutbutter: 194
2 with hard boiled eggs: 148
1 banana: 110
1 glass of whole milk: 94
Lunch:
4 slices of brown bread: 304
2 with peanutbutter: 194
2 with meat/cheese: 102
1 banana: 110
1 glass of whole milk: 94
1 glass of juice: 56
Dinner:
pasta with meat: 507
-or-
meat/patatoes/veggies: 375
-or-
rice with meat: 367
yoghurt dessert: 112
Evening snack:
Some nuts (100gram): 575
So the total for the day is: 2813 calories
This will be a little more, since I will eat some small things in between probably, and I'll drink more juice as well in between meals.
Just for starters, I think this will be enough. I have some weightgainer left as well so I'll add that as an "after dinner/in between snack" as well after a week or so. just little portions and generally move up.
Some pics of how I look now and the scale proof:

Pounding through: Diet
Tomorrow it's gonna start: My "gaining weight" diet
To start off I will do some supermarket pwnage and buy everything that has a lot of calories. Well not everything but a lot.
I have to eat more and more, not fast food, not carbs, but calories...
Breakfast lunch and dinner are meals I def have to set at some decent times and keep up with that instead of eating at different times everyday.
For snacks in between meals, I'll change the cookies for some proteine bars. I'll start working out and have some extra milk and small amount of weightgainer after every workout.
In time, I will increase my eating and weightgainer to generally add everything untill I can consume a minimum of 2K calories a day.
I will update this blog on a regular basis including some pictures about my progress.
Stay tuned for more :P

Getting back into the grind
As promised, I would start the grind again this month. I have played a bunch of games yesterday, not special, but my mindset, focus and play were so much better than last month, even though the results were a bit shitty because of variance.
I didn't affect my mindset or play at all, so that's something I am a little proud off, to get my tiltcontrol in shape.
I made a video from a session I played and reviewed it with my coach. That was by far one of the best sessions I've ever had, talking about the "live" hands, being able to have the stats up and running and see any timing tells by opponents def helped me look at my own game and regs game in a more in-depth way.
Since I loaded only 12 tables (wut) I was able to exploit more and mak better decisions. I've been playing about 20+ tables for the past year and by doing that, there was no way I could improve my game, adjust well enough to regs and get a better roi/make more money. Sure, the volume was outstanding, but living off rakeback at these levels is just not the way to go.
So therefore I will set my yearly VPP goal a hell of a lot lower, improve my game, make more money, move up in stakes and then I might rethink masstabling again.
So to sum everything up: my game is way better, I feel way better and I focus way better so longrun moneyzz are on the way!
I got the forum up and running again so feel free to come visit sometime
Once again thnx for reading and gl at the tables

OMG!!! It's alive!!!
Yeah, it's been way too long since I've updated my blog. I haven't been around as much as I wanted to and haven't played as much as I wanted to.
To summarize the start of this year so far, I've done absolutely nothing about the goals I set for myself. Starting the year behind schedule is defenitely not a good idea....
So therefore I'm gonna start the year in februari lol, work a bit harder the next few months to get on schedule again. I paid someone to make some kind of agenda for me, and she did quite well actually, asking me what I had to do the coming week and she did send me the files. So far I've downloaded 1 of them and did absolutely zero of what was planned. Obviously a few people were disappointed because I couldn't deliver what I'd promised them. I said it before and I will say it again: A new year, a new start. This time, although 1 month late. I will work on it and do some serious bussiness.
I won't even bother starting about my games, since the volume sucks and my game has been way off. So far I was making mistakes I had to laugh about since I thought they weren't in my style anymore. Well without focus and lack of interest, it's hard to win....
I changed a few of my goals and added a few, such as going on a diet. Not because I'm fat or anything (you can ask Piratos) but because I'm too skinny. So I need a diet to gain weight actually. Since this is more difficult (yes it is!!) than loosing weight, any suggestions or tips are more than welcome. I won't be starting like tomorrow, I need to figure out something decent otherwise I'll just loose motivation if I start wrong and nothing happens.
Playing a lot less games def changed my mindset and I have to get back in the grind. Although my mind has to be different from what it was last month 2010, I have to keep focus and study. This I have done even more than playing tbh, now I have to apply it in my games. I can start fresh anyway also regarding notes etc, since I deleted my notes file due to re-installig stars because F5 didn;t work anymore.
Yes, I was smart enough to export the file to my desktop, but instead of importing it in the stars client, I cut/paste it into the directory and it became a noteless notes file. Copy/paste FTW obv.
Oh I'll be going back to Malta next month to finally get the appartment. I'll shoot some pics for anyone who wants to envy me at >20 degrees C in february :P
btw the malta pics pirat took in november can be found on my facebook
That's all for now, thnx for reading!

Final thoughts for 2010, goals for 2011
The last 2010 post is here! It's not going to be a very positive one since i'm having the worst month ever but w/e, I'll make the best of it, probably will feel a lot better after typing down my goals for the next year.
I've been losing a bunch of money this month which is for me personally pretty sick to end the year like this. I'm down over $2K for the month so I have a lot of making up to do.
Quadchrazs and I finished the volumebet today and I came up short 300 games or so. I wasn't able to play during the weekend plus my ISP had problems in the area here so I couldn't play for 6 hours today because of disconnection problems.
So basically the only thing that could make me happy today was my girlfriend. Off course, Murphy's Law applies here and after the regular chitchat we had a big fight through msn (yah I know :s) and I got so extremely pissed I broke my flatscreen just out of anger. This is the second screen dying that way for this year, but at least the good thing(?) is that the last time was at the beginning of this year. I don't get mad quite easily but when I am it's party time. And the funny thing is that it's my own fault anyway. So a pissed girlfriend, major tilted so not able to play decent poker for the day and a broken screen. This def is the worst day of the year.Well, a good excuse to get the latest 24 inch monitor again, my very own christmas present. At least now I know what to buy myself. I've spend a shitload of money on gifts but I didn't get myself anything. Maybe a new desk isn't a bad idea either now that I think about it. Oh well....
Let's just stop the rant here and talk some goals for 2011 because I need to de-tilt again.
I was at first thinking to go for SNE but that's just way too much time consuming for me. I've spent the last year playing poker and not doing enough about my social life so thats def one of the goals I have for the next year.
List of goals for 2011:
get 500K VPP
get $100K in profit
study more (prob one of my most important goals since I feel I'm stuck a lot of the time)
join a gym and actually go there :D
have a decent sleeping habit
get a decent diet (not to lose weight, but to actually gain it, I'm way to skinny)
plan better (I'm paying someone to do that for me the first few months of the year)
quit smoking (I really have to, but have to find some willpower during the year to actually do it)
I guess that's it for now, it's a lot to work on. A few things will come through the year, others I know I have to do right from the start otherwise it'll just fade away.
I know someone who started a kind of mental coaching program which I might join if that goes through. Details about that one will follow.
That's it for now, thanks for reading and I wish everyone the best of luck in the new year and happy holidays!!

Tune
