Last session fail - OBV.

Gambar
ok, short post. last session of the month of course failed miserably. Not really because of me even though I might have had better days but main reason is Mr. Sklansky. Tbh I cannot remember the last time I blew this massive amount in Sklansky BB out of the window. Furthermore considering that my biggest losing session this month was around -350ish tis is pretty massive. Meh whatever. But it's always interesting to see as soon as you have some VPP goal in mind which is pretty soon to be reached (in my case 50k VPP for the month in order to maintain SNE) Stars is happy to pull the trigger. The whole mess starts around 6 hours b4 midnight ET (Stars server time) while having around 1000 VPPs left to earn for 50k when some BE highstakes Reg decides to take my limp/raise (expert play created by myself) not too serious at around hand 1200. From that moment everything was pretty std until losing AA to QQ and 88 AI pre, losing AA to KK AI pre and losing AK to A4 AI pre in about 5 minutes.....

Back to Basics / Everything Changes

Gambar
It's been a while since my last entry but I was pretty busy working and partying so there wasn't much time to write. Furthermore I had to think about many things concerning my life so that I can now give a far better overview compared to one week ago. But let's start with poker. I run good, I play very decent, I make money. That's the short version. Tbh I don't know the last time I was that convinced about my game. Month is almost over and I guess I let the garph speak: That's my whole month/year on Stars so far and after a slow beginning sky is the limit. Atm I have around 2.5PTBB all stakes and over 3PTBB alone at NL200 over 60kish hands. Pretty decent. Of course it is kind of the long awaited heater but I guess given the current state of games I should be able to maintain at least 2PTBB when I not start to massgrind (more than 7500 hands a day) again. Considering that I'm up 3k on Full Tilt as well and taking around 6k++ Rakeback into account it is a pret...

Flat hunt starts again...

Gambar
Weekend is over... was a pretty massive saturday night out - think i left the club at 8:30 which is pretty late/early considering my age. Think we spent 60 pounds alone on entry fees that night not considering drinks, cigs and cabs. But I haven't had a night out here I didn't spent at least 200GBP and that is prolly not gonna change in near future. Now that I'm almost recovered it is time to get back to work and to focuss on another great project: finding a new flat. We originally moved into the current one in october and paid up front for 6 months and in November my former roomie from Malta moved in as well so we are 3 atm and paying about 2.8k GBP total which is pretty fine for London and considering the flat is really big. However we more and more realize that this flat is not exactly what we want because we are just too far away from the city, too far away from the nightlife, too far away from nice restaurants, too far away from everything. So we decided the last days t...

Monthly Half-Time / small overview

Gambar
Half of january is over and so I gonna make a small post with the current (aids) garphs! I'm not really satisfied so far but I can feel that it is getting better day by day and I win back confidence in my game. I run pretty good at 200NL like always (definitely playing my best game at this stake) but unfortunately I run pretty crap on everything above with 400NL rush being the exception. My volume this month has been 2/3s at Full Tilt and 1/3 at Stars. Probably going to finish 50/50ish (bc I need 50k VPP at Stars and atm I'm at 19k) this month and not really sure for the future. If Stars is doing good changes with the buyin structure most of my volume will be there again because even with the new FT Blackcard rakeback just isn't in the same league as Stars SNE Rakeback. My goal this year is to maintain a 3digits hourly before rakeback and I have to admit that I'm miles away from that atm. Nevertheless after a solid friday night I'm up more than 4k without Rakeback (...

Slow start into teh month...

Gambar
Haven't done much this week so far besides recovering from NY holidays, playing poker and organizing a new battery for my car. Story is kinda funny so I gonna share it. Came back from Bukarest on the 2nd and was going for the supermarket on the 3rd. Ofc my car didn't start bc the battery was empty after more than 3 weeks not driving. In order to get starting aid I subscribed to the AA which is something like the ADAC in germany. 30 minutes later a guy was there too charge my battery but it wasn't really working. Car was starting but battery wasn't loading and he told me I would need a new one asap. No biggie I thought and drove to HiQ Car centre which is something like the ATU in germany. They told me no problem, we don't have it here but somebody gonna deliver the battery. An hour later the battery was there but not fitting. Tomorrow we get the right one for your car they told me and I took a cab home. Next day at noon somebody of HiQ called me and explained that t...

Forecast 2011

Gambar
Now that it is 2011 I can give a little forecast of my plans for this year. I will cluster it again in the two big points poker and life. Life: As being said I'm in London atm and will stay here at least until may. Plan is to spent 2 months this summer in Malta again because summer in Malta is awesome. Good weather, lots of crazy people, hot chicks, cheap prices and spending the whole year in London would be pretty boring probably... Afterwards I wanna travel to Las Vegas for 3-6 weeks and get some baller place there with some other poker players. I mean I'm playing since more than 2 years for a living and never went to Vegas yet (never even went to teh US and A lol). But I definitely try to change that this year. September probably back to London and the last 3 months I really wanna go to Thailand (guess either on an island like phuket or Koh Samui) with some guys I got to know in Malta who are playing for a living as well. But nothing set in stone so far. Malta is probably 90...

Retrospective 2010

Gambar
2010 was a massive year for me. Life: I started the year in Malta where I was living in a massive penthouse with 3 other pokerplayers in Malta. Malta definitely was a big experience for me. I got to know a shitload of awesome people and had a very very good time. But after living 14 months on the rock I felt somehow that it was time for me to move on. Yes, Malta is awesome in summer and has a very good legislation in case of taxes and poker, but as awesome as it is in summer as boring it is in winter and I pretty much said to myself that I'm not willing to spent another winter there. Another main reason for my goodbye was, that I purchased a Corvette in february which arrived about 3 months later. Ok, now you ask why is that a reason to leave. Well, in Malta they have pretty crazy car registration laws. So you can bring in a car which is registered in another country to Malta but you have to register it after 6 months. Ok, no biggie... But unfortunately they tax that registration p...
