FAILED!
Also my schedule kinda failed. If I'm home a bit earlier from work, I usually get everything done, but if I'm just on time, or later, it's usually a fail.
In 2 weeks my vacation begins. I'm not going anywhere, so according to my schedule I should be playing like at least 20 hours a week. Let's see how that's gonna work out.
I do succeed in not looking at my results. At this moment I don't know if I'm up or down, or how many hands I have. I'm thinking about doing a videobloggy thing at the end of the month so you can see live how I look when I see my results :D
Also played a bit HU today. felt ok, I did run good so I ended up with about 200$ profit. I think it was quite equal in terms of skill. He limped a lot, and did some limp/raises. It looked like a fairly balanced range. It was definitely a regular (he was sitting along with 10 others), so I wonder what the idea is behind that, and most important: how do you play against it.
First mental change is starting I think, I see playing poker a bit more as just putting in the hours, instead of winning some money, or playing X amount of hands. It's not a big thing though, but I do feel it.

Well... I don't feel like playing poker, but I thought that wouldn't make such a good title.
I am a bit tired, so it probably has to do something with that too, but I really don't feel like playing poker. I feel rather disgusted just by the thought of playing. My brain just doesn't want to do a lot of thinking I guess.
I'm at 12k hands this month, giving the fact I won't play a lot or not at all today, it doesn't seem like I'm getting even close to my monthly goal.
At the moment, I don't really care. I just don't want to think about the things that I usually have as a motivation.
Long story short: Bleh

Since the other blog is offline, and I don't know when or if it'll come back, I'm starting this new one.
For the people who got in here by accident, let me first introduce myself.
I am Stefan Gilis, inhabitant of a small place in Belgium called Mol. Currently I am working as a postman, and playing poker in my spare time. My goal this year is to be ready to start playing professionally by next year.
This blog is to keep everybody updated on my progress. I've set myself a goal of having 50k profit this year, this by getting passed the 300 000 (300k) VPP points on pokerstars to hit the self-named 'triplenova'. The rest of the fund should come from my winrate.
The first 3 months I was behind schedule, but with some renewed energy I try to get myself back on track for the 300k vpp's. I do this by playing 5/10, and since recently 10/20 6-max limit holdem.
I will be updating this blog regularly, showing my big wins, my big losses, and some in between. I also post a lot of things that don't have a lot to do with poker directly, but do have an impact on the game, or the goals I'm setting. Things that affect my mindset, my motivation, my mental fitness, etc.
It's a very short introduction, but I assume most people who come here already know a bit of the backstory.
