New here, introduction and some words about myself
Gonki, Mar 21 2016
Hey guys and girls playing poker, my online name is Gonki, however in real life I go with Thomas, since otherwise would look awkward. Currently I live in capital city of Czech Republic and right now I am on a night shift reading Liquidpoker. And hey, my english is bad so every correction is welcome. :-)
First of I would like to say that I am regular visitor of lp for some time already, however I have never created account before, until today, so, here I am, yeeey. For that time being I've realized that this little group of people is different than for example 2+2 which, for some reason I don't like much and when I feel much more comfortable on lp, why don't have an account with a blog here? Arghh blog...well, I am not sure about that one yet, but having a place where I can share my ideas, thoughts and situations I need help with, well it does not sound that bad, does it? If I will decide to write something it won't be regurarly but when I will want to write something I just will, I am kind a rebel am I not? :-D
I know poker for some years (8+) and I always liked it, but thinking about learning it and maybe even become profitable player it started like six months ago. I was still living in my old apartment working more than 230 hours a month heading really nowhere with my life, my GF left me, not gonna lie she left me I am a man enaugh to admit it. I really did not have a reason to live in a town with like 200 people where closest civilization was like 30km away anymore. So I quit a job, found a new one and move to Prague not really knowing what am I gonna do, however change was a need and living in a city can move me only forward, right? Oh hell, how I miss a fresh air and family obviously.  Don't get me wrong, working 160 hours a month with a better salary and more options is a dream. I started play volleyball and football again (I had not really time for it after school) + I can play and learn poker which, how I realized I like a lot. So I started learning poker in November of 2015, playing just occasionally. I've been moving in the end of December and had everything at place in the end of January.
February
The real grind started in February. I've read a lot so I did not try anything fancy and started NL2 on regular tables, hunting worse players than myself (I am not gonna use fish very often because I don't like the word) and I was doing really well. I played 50k hands in January with total profit of $202 20.2BB/100 without rakeback (which was I believe $20 on stars for starcoints). I could have had even higher winrate but everytime when my aces got shrekt I was tilting so much that I managed to lose even 20BI in 3 hours session. The end of a month came and I went to a party with some friends, don't remember if my room mate was there but if so I blame him! We did what you are supposed to do on parties and I got insanly drunk, which is rare in my case since I did not touch an alcohol for 2 years before this night (I just don't like it very much). I came home, could not sleep and went on pokerstars casino for blackjack, what a smart idea eh? :D Well, long story short I've seen good looking guy(yes guy, I didn't have bankroll for higher stakes where beautiful women are) and lost everything there. Yes, now it is official. My name is Thomas and I am the biggest idiot of all times, the first of his name. And this is the reason why you should not take drugs and drink alcohol, JK drugs are fine just don't drink. Anyway it's not devastating for my financial situation so there was no harm done, but it took me f*cking month to grind my way so I could play NL5.
At the start of this month I have had about 20$ left. So far I managed to grind my way up to 80 only to hit insane downswing. currently I am $50 under EV and I am tilting even worse than I used to last month, however I will tell you guys about this if I ever decide to write some more.
Now the whole reason I wanted to register here. As I said before I've read a lot, books, lp, 2+2, pokerstrategy, watched training videos and tried to analyze my hands in pokertracker. How should I study more? I feel like I am not doing enaugh, or better said I could do much more, could anyone give me some tips how to analyze my game? I even feel that I dont even know what exactly to look for in pokertracker. How your daily rutine works? Just basic ideas would do the trick, all I need is a push and some ideas from more experienced players.
If you somehow finished reading here I want to thank you and if you throw some tips down below on your way out? Oh man we can go play blackjack together or something. I am really good at it. :-)
