Earlier this year I planted some seeds and after a few months we could enjoy organically grown vegetables over the summer. This is a picture of the last ones before autumn came. As much as it was nice

Yesterday and today, I was starting to review some videos about exploitative play in NL holdem. The guy is explaining the GTO angle of it and how to overview the whole situation and his recommendation

It’s been a while since I wrote here. I started my poker project which was playing 500k hands of NL holdem. I soon realized that I am super impatient and even though I had good results it did not feel

I started this journal thinking that I would linearly play 500k hands of NL holdem with possible coachings down the road. I started playing, planting stuff etc etc. As a starting point. I don’t know anything

I heard this theory that one should not try so hard, i.e. be more relaxed, and things will come to you. This I know to be true especially with health and good habits in general. But with my poker project,

Day 14: 1511 hands played. Total progress: 22,701 hands out of 500k. I am thinking about changing something around with this challenge. I may switch to pokerstars where my results can be more verified.

Day 13: 1422 hands played. Total progress: 20,511 hands played of 500k. I always wanted to find quality poker information and blend this information from different sources to find my own inner poker wisdom.

Day 12: 1487 hands played. Total progress: 19,089 hands out of 500k. I watched poker after dark at pokerGO yesterday. All the episodes with Tom Dwan at least. I can recommend that. There’s this free trial

1195 hands played. Total progress: 17,602 hands out of 500k. Everything is going good at the new level. Two more of my plants saw daylight during the night. And so I now have 6 plants of zucchini. And

Day 10: 2291 hands played. Total progress: 16,407 hands out of 500k. End of current level. The next level I will be at for quite some time so I need to be careful with my mindset and just chill. My results

Day 9: 1726 hands played. Progress so far is 14,116 hands out of 500k. It's going good. I really had a flow of winnings that is close to what I expect at this level. I heard that most poker players overvalue

Today I played 1235 hands. Total progress is 12,390 hands out of 500k. I have settled into trying to just enjoy what I'm doing. I did decide to build my bankroll up with absolute no risk taking. Just because

Hands played this day: 648. Total progress is 11,156 out of 500k. I am slowing down but still very excited about this project. But I want to get that feeling of chilling out and just doing my thing. My

Day 6: I played 1921 hands. So far that will be 10,508 hands out of 500k hands. The only thing I knew after hatching the idea of this challenge was that I am going to do it. I want to keep writing blogposts

Day 5: I get very bored to play deep on this level and with the prospect of staying here for so long. I played 2260 hands today. I felt restless and did not have a very good result overall compared to

Just found that the first tag I make to my post will be the category for the post. Good to know. So far my posts have been a little incorrectly categorized.

Today I went crazy and suddenly started to plant like 10 pots of yellow zucchini, 80 (!) pots of strawberries and 30 pots of tomatoes. It was like I was suddenly possessed by a not so skilled gardener.

Today I spent some time planting strawberry seeds. I have this vision of lots and lots of homegrown strawberries in a few months. I need to give something life, it’s a very good day for that. There are

I have seen this day coming for some time. It’s exactly ten years since my mother passed away. In a hospice. I still can’t talk about it, maybe in another ten years there will be more to this story. But

Today I played 1824 hands. And total progress is 4560 of 500k hands done. I watched a podcast that Joey Ingram did with poker legend Barry Greenstein, this was some time ago. There Barry talked about him
