What's up? Was a bit busy the past couple of months with life outside of poker. Fell in love with a chick. She isnt so sure about me being the one yet but I'll prove to her that I am even if she doesn't know it yet lol. My life for the past 2 months was much more eventful than the previous 2 years combined. That sounds kinda sad doesnt it? Haha but its ok. I feel happier and fulfilled. Life is more than just about goals. It's about love for friends, family and your lover as well. Its about finding a higher cause other than yourself. Self-actualization and contribution. Pokerwise I tried some MTTs working from the ground up trying to pattern acoimbra's success. I have a pretty decent ROI but due to power outtages here in my country Im rather unsure if I can grind that up onto the higher stakes because I'd be losing buy-ins left and right. Not to worry though because I revisited my old love for 6max hyperturbos  and yeah Im doing pretty decent now and that includes the few bad runs. Slowly, I am erasing my negative ROI which means I am a winning player in the long run. I plan to dedicate my poker journey to fellow hikikomoris like me...the struggling basement bums, diaosi, or whatever you want to call yourself. I'll just have to reach 250k first so I can have some credibility. I'll show to the world that all you need is Optimism, Passion and Hard Work in changing your life for the better in whatever area you choose. Once I reach that milestone I'll make a youtube channel and write a book(free pdf,mobi,epub) detailing all the useful tidbits of knowledge that proved useful in my journey i.e. exercise routine, books to read, videos to watch, philosophies to adapt..Today is the birthday of my highschool crush as well lol. Happy birthday Angela. I'm sure you've already forgotten about me but I cant forget about your birthday somehow :P

Busto. Hmm where to begin? That 75 bucks I started at the beginning of the month whittled down to 60 from 1.50 USD 6max hypers. From there I decided to revisit ZOOM 6max cash games and built that up to around 90 bucks then came back tumbling down to 60 again. Being the genius that I am and for utter boredom I went ahead and played teh Sunday Storm Satellites which cost 3.68+0.07 USD per pop. So I had like less than 20 BIs to begin with. That's very disciplined BR management there I know. Needless to say I lost a few starting rounds and was in the 20+ USD range but ran good and suddenly I had 100+ T$ in a few hours. More ups and downs and I was about to finish the month at least breakeven then 2 days ago everything went wrong. Got sucked out on, got coolered pre, leaky bad low Ax SB calls vs readless BTN shoves, overplayed UTG shoves hoping to fold everyone close to teh bubble, extremely few suckouts going my way, and pretty much everything you can think of. On a positive note, even though I didn't use a poker tracking software yet(I plan to play HUDless for life), I know I just had more bad beats than bad play. My plan right now is to come back with at least 100 BIs for teh hypers and study each and every hand I get involved in with http://www.icmpoker.com/. I still have a long way to go to reach acoimbra's and jorj95's level but with hard work and some luck I'll get there.

Deposited and lost 20+100+20+20 since I started playing at stars. I thought the 100 was gonna be my last deposit .That was like a year ago when I planned to turn that into 1k USD and proceed further. Unfortunately the path has proved to be much harder than my play money wealth.The 2 twenties this month were my feeble attempt to have another shot at the hypers hoping I dont have a busto month. Oh well lol. I'll be back with 500 or so. This is the path I chose to reach enough capital for my passive income plan so I have to face the consequences and be as leak-free as possible. Each tiny +EV point I get matters greatly in teh long run. I'll end this post with a Napoleon Hill quote of the day that for some reason I feel was written directly for me.

"When the going is hardest, just keep on keeping on, and you’ll get there sooner than someone who finds the going easy."

"If you think achieving great heights of success will be easy, you either don’t understand at all how the process works or you have your sights set too low. Reaching the top of any field is difficult, time-consuming, and often tedious. The reason it isn’t crowded at the top is that most people won’t do the things that are necessary to achieve success. They are all too willing to give up when the going gets tough. If you need inspiration to persevere, read the biographies of men and women who have achieved greatness in their lives. You will find that they prevailed because they refused to quit. They continued to toil alone long after the masses had given up and gone home."
