Well played for almost an hour today but it did not went the way I wanted.
It is not going the way I want at the tables , maybe I should take a break or move to another game like omaha. I am actually not enjoying the game. Probably I will not make the goal .. but that s not a big deal... Maybe a good sleep will help to decide what to do.

If you are not enjoying playing, then you should probably stop. You can even stop the whole thing. You have already made 150 profit. And with the holidays coming it will be harder and more stressful finding some free time to play. Just cash out your winnings and start another one on 2017

It sounds like u desperatly need a time off poker, to clear your head, and decide what u gonna do next, its what i do after every session of poker, i go out in the cold to clear my head, it takes a while b4 i stop seeing AJ when i close my eyes so take a brake, regroup and fresh with clear head decide.

If you are not feel enjoy anymore that's indicate you must have take a break or you will lose some of your winning if you push to play. and start again when you really want to play again , look for great chance to catch up your target, I think is possible, you have capability for that Good luck
I like you man! ... you set a goal and consistently you go to it ... I probably would not have had the patience and endurance to play for small stakes and gradually increase the bank .. I wish you luck in your no easy road to your goal and I think that you will have it

Thx for the support all
Well I did not play for 2 days ... did some thinking about my pokerplay, spent some time with the family, went for the walk in the forrest to clear my head and to get things right.
So I decided to go back to the tables and to play a little tighter.
Yesterday I played for almost 2 hours and I was happy with my result, 15 eur profit
Today I played for +/- 1.5 hours and had 11 eur profit

holy shaizen fly dude i just noticed that you are onto something big here, 375 euros bankroll easily allows you to go for big things in life. you should be concentrating on becoming a real influencer, since this is clearly your path. best of luck at the tables, under the tables and in between the tables.

Well my best friend Pochui
As I regurlarly read your posts and I must admit I like that kind of humour, I often wonder if you re such a comedian that can just produce such oneliners, remarks that easily... you have great career potential there. Just wondering if you really can handle some money on your poker account or do you just gamble it all away ... as you are writing here...
once you are a little increased his bank .. I wonder sometimes you lose, or play all the time with a positive result? If you play all the time with a positive result is not whether you think to raise rates, and really win a lot of money?

Well lets say the title best friend can be classified as a kind of politeness...
I did forgot that there still are wolves in Lithuania as the european forces are practicing there as they fear the big bad Russian wolf called Vladimir.... He s even more feared than there former leader Stalin.
Hope you get better of than the people of the Krimm
Cheers

Last month in your goal. Doing good so far after some ups and downs. The month started with the best possible way for you which is a win. Always nice when this happens. Gives you a boost, for the rest of the days Good luck reaching the 500

Yes, 29 days left! Maybe you should try gamble to play at higher level to catch up your target. If you ever lost 45 euro in one day ( 2 hours ? ) maybe you can win same amount as well I believe you can control your emotion at table just keep trying, you still have chance. Good luck

Well it s against my common sense
what I mean is that did spent quite some time to almost double up my bankroll from 200 to almost 400 eur. Just because I set my goal at the beginning at 500 does not mean I have a bad year. I think it s a nice profit for the time I spent at the tables. If I am gonne take to high risks just to have a chance to reach my goal ... bad idea
because I do not like to gamble .. I believe in that poker is a skill game and I believe in my pokerskills to play profitable (not that I am a great player... my skills are just that I can play profitable)
And always keep in mind, you can set goals (and that is easy) but it is always good to know that goals can be adjusted or sometimes goals are not reached but the result can be sufficient.

There is no reason to gamble with it. If you can play your A game till the end of the month with no stress at all, then its all good. Whatever you can add to the winnings you have made so far. And as i said before its not bad. Doubling your investment is always a good thing

Well here s an update
I played again a couple of short sessipons (+/- 30 minutes) 4 tables. I played 2 tables 0.05/0.10 blinds and 2 tables 0.15/0.25 blinds
In general I played profitable but I knowthat the results of such short sessions is mostly dependanble on the outcome of 1 or 2 big pots it does not mean that much
My bankroll is now 419 eur
I also won a few prices at the Xmas calender, took the tickets each time and now have 14 tickets for the draw.
so take a brake, regroup and fresh with clear head decide.
