The 6000€ mark has been surpassed and impressions from the islands!!!

Hello, let's start with poker and then move on to entertainment. So, I'm a bit behind on my volume plan (500 tournaments per month), but I still have today and tomorrow, so maybe I can improve the situation since I've played 400 so far. However, the results are really pleasing; this month I've managed to earn €2500. The further I go, the better I manage to maintain a good game during long sessions (I took a couple of days off recently because I was a bit exhausted), and I have high hopes that December will be even better. If I manage to increase the volume, I think it's very realistic to complete the challenge by the New Year. However, the greatly improved weather is now getting in the way, as it's sunny every day and there's practically no rain. 😉 I also have some training videos that I plan to start watching again before sessions (I just need to fix my sleep schedule because now I start grinding at 11 AM LT time, and I usually oversleep, then I have to rush everything, and a bunch of excuses come up that I don't have time for anything, I'll watch it tomorrow, etc.). I also decided that I will finish the challenge by playing tournaments up to €10 (with a few exceptions like the micro millions main event, micro Thursday thrill), although my bankroll fully allows me to play much more expensive ones. However, I don't want to swing a couple of thousand and then have to dig myself out again, so it will be simpler to first cross the challenge threshold and then increase the stakes. 😉 And I really hope to post some final table video with comments again after quite a long break.

So much for poker, now about travels! So this weekend I decided to take a break and finally sail around the nearby islands (I've been living here for about 2 months and hadn't been to the islands, it's even embarrassing) and I definitely don't regret it. In Sihanoukville (I don't know exactly how to say it in Lithuanian) there are, if I remember correctly, 34 islands, so we only landed on one (we stopped at one just to swim, but didn't go ashore) and it left a really great impression, white sand beaches, jungles, mountains. Of course, we didn't manage to see everything because we only spent a few hours there. Probably even a couple of days wouldn't be enough to explore it well, let alone all the islands. And I really liked that we found a camp of Europeans in the jungle who all live in tents, away from all the people, all relaxed, just enjoying life. And of course, probably only here do such things happen that when you leave the camp and walk about a kilometer, you see a European sitting on a rock, rolling a local plant “joint” and just silently passing it to you as you walk by, and then continues to sit there. Enough words, below you'll find some photos and videos from there (the video is cut into parts and not continuous because I wasn't responsible for our camera, so I just compiled what was filmed. By the way, sorry for the shaky footage on the boat, but it was hard to stand still while sailing through the waves, let alone hold the camera steady).
