Variances strikes!

I've been playing 24 tables simultaneously and i'm felling much more confident on the decisions i've been making so far. Still, i know i've been making some mistakes and a lot of the times i know i did right after i've clicked the button which is sign that i'm improving. Had a pretty bad session yesterday, its funny how this affects me, since i've started grinding, im much more into the game, and for me at least whenever i have a bad day i start to question my game. I think it is crucial to success reviewing my sessions and pointing out mistakes. I know sngs have lots of variance, it is very hard to deal with it when you are in a learning process. But it is like the old saying, what doesnt kill you, makes you stronger, and day by day im getting used to it.

My schedule has been pretty healthy, getting up early, breakfast and straight to gym, lunch and poker the whole day, that means playing, studying and watching videos.
It has been a while since i've stopped working out, and it was really tough to comeback, but im already on the second week and im feeling much better now, i used to be pretty active and feels good to be back again.
So tomorrow my girlfriend gets into the plane to London, we will have a great week toghether!

Still London!

So although i'm still not crushing the mtt's, i feel things are going much better since i started. I do understand a lot more of the process now, but still gotta a lot to work on. Im trying to raise the volume as I'm getting more confident.

Anyway, I've decided to stay here in London till 25th nov. I'll have to travel to Italy again, so no point on going back to Brazil if i can do almost everything from here, except the fact that my girlfriend is still at home, but she is coming to see me, which will be pretty nice! When we started dating, i had to move to london, and she came visit me, it was an awesome time, so we are doing it again.

London!

Lot of stuff happened the past couple of days, I've lost my passport right at the entrance of Milan's airport, so I had to come back to the hotel, and get a new passport the next day at the brazillian embassy. That was really messed up, really stressful. But anyway, i got it done, and here i am at London. The weather here is awesome, sunny days, not really cold, not really hot. 

So now im settled, I have time to study poker lot more, lately ive been studying a lot, working on improving my game, which i think it is really poor, im finding the lower stakes harder than medium stakes, but i think its really important to get through these levels and build good fundamentals. As i had to change my game a lot, i got myself stuck sometimes when playing 18-25 tables at once, now i need more time to think about the new plays i have to make, so im problably lowering the tables to 12-15 until i have every decision made at first glance again. Although im far from crushing sngs, im feeling good. I will just work hard everyday, review each of the sessions, and put more volume from now on!! The future belong to ourselves, you need to have dreams and work really hard to make it happen!

My first post!

So Ive decided to write down this blog to keep track of this new effort to becoming a better poker player. First of all I will introduce myself. My name is Jose Guilherme Thome, im 27 yrs old, currently living in Curitiba - Brazil. I've graduated in Dentistry, and worked as a surgeon for 2 years, then i decided i had to help my parents run their business, so i quit the clinic and started helping them, they have a dental Implant Manufacturing company in Brazil, very sucessful business i have to say. But things really didnt feel as a part of my life, i never really felt alive working there. I've never thought about becoming a professional poker player, until i cashed big for the 2nd time in full tilt, i've never felt like that before, you just feel like you can do anything, you feel alive! I've never took poker seriously, always took shots on games that i couldnt afford, and of course i went broke. So i decided i had to change, i decided to quit my job, and dedicate my time and effort to poker. I signed a deal with pocarr. Msusyr24 is such a good player, i feel that i will learn a lot and hopefully become more consistent at it. I have a strong personality, I cant stand the possibility to do something and be ok at it, i just have to be the best. Anyway, i'll keep track of my sessions, and also about how things are going.

Right now, Im at Milan - Italy, had to come here to issue my italian passport, which hopefully gets done till beg of next year. Tomorrow im off to London, gonna spend some time with my mom there, she has been living there for most of her time. I will have time to work and also visit the city and workout. Probably returning to Brazil in two weeks.

I've just finished a small session today, played 2 sessions and felt like i runned pretty bad at the first one, so i took a walk to visit Milan, got back to grind and it was much better. Currently i've been playing 1$ 45 mans and 2$ 180 mans. Im so excited to dedicate my time at what i like most. Feels like everything will settle down, i like the challenge ive put myself into. I will work hard to achieve it.
