Last day Londres, leaving in teh morning :) MALTA GUIDE inside

Gambar
So as most of you know my London time is coming to an end after exactly 6 months. Tbh I'm very happy it is over and I can move on with my life. Really looking forward for this summer. There are/were just too many things which are annoying the crap out of me but on the other hand the time was definitely a good experience and in the meanwhile I got to know alot of nice people. The month in case of poker wasn't too good but on the brightside I'm careerpeaking on PTR and made more than my minimum monthly goal of 5 digits including rakeback which is a fine thing. Furthermore played higher volume than the first 2 month this year... Main problem was running terrible at everything above NL200 but as being said I made some money so I don't wanna complain too much... I sent my car over to Malta on tuesday so afterwards I was only playing rush because my 2 monitors went with the car. Wasn't running to well there either but basically played only 200 so no biggie. Furthermore I ...

Aggression at teh Fullring Games these days

Gambar
I was always used to alot of aggression at NL400 and 600 but NL200 was always kinda soft in case of this - even BvB for the most part. However after the last sessions I seriously have to reevaluate here... I remember back maybe 1.5years ago when I was 4bet/bluffing JJ Blind vs. Blind and prayed "please don't ship, please don't ship, plz don't ship" and after I got shipped on I had a tough decision... (don't wanna discuss here anyways if it was clever 4betting JJ in the first place when I'm afraid to get it in but w/e). However these days when I 4bet JJ BvB I'm shouting something like "ship it" or "ez game", fistpumpsnap and open the Dom in the meanwhile. Pretty sick when you have the exactly same hand in the exact same spot sometimes even vs. teh same opponents like 1.5years ago but what was a bluffcatcher once is a big premium moneymaker now. Conclusion: Games are evolving - variance is increasing. I'm not 100% sure why this de...

Februar Review aka Back in Business, Bitches!

Gambar
Februar was alot better than I expected because Buy-In changes and some serious run good helped alot. It's not my best month money-wise (I have only played 116 hours) but I never had a better month when you take the average winrate and the amount of money won per hour into account. So I'm pretty satisfied. Furthermore I think I had my longest streak ever without a single losing day which took part between the 10th and the 25th of february. Unfortunately I experienced a little downer during my last 3 days of playing but I ran pretty g00t b4 so I will not invest to much thought in this shit... Bottomline is over 17k $ made from the tables and another 4.5k $ from Rakeback which brings me above the 20k border which is always a very good thing. Here the garph: Besides the last few hands it looks pretty decent imo. Have to say though, that I'm fair amount above EV (3-4k$). But on the other hand I ran 3k under EV last day of january as earlier posted in my blog. So what's the ...

Summer residence signed

Haven't played poker since friday so this is gonna be pretty much entirely related to other things. Have to say though that I was riding a solid heater the over the last days I played and games literally seemd to be getting better each hour after they dropped 20-50BB tables... However, on monday I took the plane from London to Malta. A good friend picked me up at the airport and I was pretty much chilling and relaxing the day. Went out in the evening for 3 beers but was pretty tired (prolly Jet Lag related...) and so we decided to not go any further... On tuesday we (me + future roomie) had an appointment in the afternoon with Matt Barry who is one of my buddies here and a very good real estate agent at the same time. We took a look at 10-12 appartments and penthouse ranging between 1.6k Euro up to 2.3k Euro p.M. In the end we saw some interesting ones but nothing which really blew my mind. So we decided to take another look today (wednesday). We ran pretty lucky today (bc that...

Not too much to write since my last update. Poker is going pretty slow this month (haven't played alot because some friends from Germany came over last weekend). Was losing some, winning some. Not so satisfied but should be up slightly though. Just the std rollercoaster. Did yesterday an interview with Vincent Wille (guy is probably teh best small stakes NL Texas Holdem Player worldwide and maintains a pretty nice blog while making a shitload of money.) Interview was mainly about what to do to become a 6pack and since I had a pretty decent one back in the days 2008 when I was without a job and with plenty of time to workout/diet I seemed like a good interview partner I assume.  Everything else you can read on  http://vinivici9586.wordpress.com/  if you are interested in the shit. Made alot of party during the weekend but I'm seriously getting old which sucks. Seems like it is almost impossible for me these days to drink and go out massively 2days in a row which ends up in...

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...
