September Results

Hello!

Since I started the blog a little bit latter then I tought, so I'll only post now last month results.

For me it was a good month because it was my 3rd shot at nl25 and it was finally a successful on. I played a mix of 6 max and FR at nl16-nl25. On the otherside my volume was very low =/  It was a busy month since I had to go with my girlfriend several times to the doctors to do ecography, blood analysis and some other exams. We also spent some time preparing the room for my baby that is expected to born this week :)
 And now the results:

 

 

 

+ $354,37 Cash Game Earnings

+ $121 FPP Value

+ $17,26 Tournament

---------------------------------------

+ $492,63 

Graph:

I'm happy with the results and would like to be able to put more volume in October, but I know it will not be an easy task.

Cheers ;)

Intro

Hello to all!

I decided to start this blog after talking with a big friend of mine who is working abroad and he gave the idea to start blogging, such as my girlfriend thought it was a good a idea.
First I would like to explain my poker story but I don't want to write a big testament, so I'll try to be short ;) I'm portuguese and started playing poker online in 2004-2005, as many I first played play money and then went to play freerools till I reached 60$. With this money I grinded SNG's and when

I reach 200$ made the change to cash games. I grinded till I was playing nl25, wich I played during college just for fun and to have an extra money. In 2010 when I finished my college degree in Sports Sciences I decided to stop playing poker and focus more on my career, as I was already doing an internship in the portuguese High Performance Center and where I work till today. In the meanwhile I started working in another gym as an Instructor, Personal trainer and Group Class Instructor where I also work today. Also started doing some Freelance Personal Training.
Everything was going well in my life until in 2013 I needed to do a Hip Surgery due to a bone conflict and overuse related with my work and my sport (was a thai and MMA fighter) and this lead to a 12 month recovery with 3 of them staying at home without working. At this time without nothing to do at home I install Pokerstars and started to play again (had some $ there) nl10. I was shocked with the skill level compared with 2008... Where I was a winning player and in 2013 I was losing money. I changed my plan and went lower to nl5 and begin studying the game again with some videos and reading 2+2. Studying the game helped a lot and I start to move up stakes and now I'm playing nl25 since last month.

My goal is to play the max volume I can when I'm not working and improve my game to be able to move up since I'm going to be a father this month of a baby girl named Ísis and I want to give my familly a better life that I can offer at the moment.

Here I'll post my evolution and some other random stuff I like ;) Hope you enjoy

Best regards,

Mário
