Hello.
I'm starting my blog/diary off with the most basic of posts-talking a little about myself and my goals with DC and my poker.
To start off, i'm 23 years old, and currently live in London, UK. My home country is really Estonia. I came here for the job and the experience, and the money. It's like 4 time more than back home. So what job do i do? I work as a chef in one of the most legendary hotels in London. I love my job and the experience i'm getting from it. I'm all about improving myself as a proffesional and as a person. I think poker helps alot with that, so i'm tryng to get into it. I've really been playng on-off for a year now, just for fun, i was probably the kind of person everybody is looking for to make money off. No worries, we all start from nothing, and without any clear goals we are not going anywhere. So this post will be the dictator of my goals and kind of a motivator for me on bad runs, to continue my mission.
So more about my goals. I want to be a great winning player at nl50 in one year. Starting from today. I personally think it's a very reasonable goal. If anybody has any opinions on it, please speak out. But on this mission i'm really alone. I don't have any poker buddies or connections in the game. So this lead me to my second goal. I want to build up a few good realationships with some of the players here, who mabe have had a similar experience and want to help me out, or who are on the same mission as i am on. If you guys are out there, feel free to contact me via. DC and i will defenetly get back to you. Mabe we can hook up on some sessions, or even do some live games?!..
So apart from my job, i am finding a bigger love for poker. I love it because, it can teach me as a person, it has exitement, fun, drama, tilt, swings, real people and ofcourse money. If i could be a winning nl50 player it would help me alot, when i move back to my country. It would be nice money on the side and a great way to spend my free time. Or mabe even have a succesful career change. It's all up to me and the way life treats me with this goal.
And also about my curret game and what i am doing to improve it. Well right now i have watched baby steps and currently i'm on From the ground up. I really love hove tubasteve and n0whereman do their thing in explaining the game to new players like me. So as they show i, try to learn and impliment those elements in my game. I'm playing nl25 right now with a roll of 800USD. So i'm going to take it from there and keep you guys up to date on my game and how am i doing with my goals.
Updates will be atleast weekly. So stay up to date with me if you are interested in how i am doing get in touch if you want to play, share knowllage etc.
Peace,
Silver
