Doomsday / AND SUDDENLY AMERICA IS GONE

Gambar
Today finally was the day. Some pessimists will say "I saw that coming long time ago", some optimists will just shake their heads and most players will probably not really believe yet what happend about 8 hours ago. But one thing is pretty damn clear. This day will change everything in case of Onlinepoker in it's current form. So what happend? Yesterday, friday the 15th I decided instead to go out and get shitfaced to do some work aka Poker instead. Shortly after I began my first session I became aware of the news that the 3 biggest pokersites who still operate in the USA are charged in case of illegal gambling, money laundry and some other stuff. At first I was like whatever but then after some time every american fellow player disappeared from the tables and in this moment I became aware that this might be really serious and in fact it is. Every US based player is from now on banned from playing Online-Poker at Pokerstars, Fulltilt or Ultimate Bet. And from what I read ...

Running alot beyond EV in case of flat / non-official Worldrecord insinde!

To make a long story short me and my australian roomie managed to get a termination of our tenancy in less than 14 days and we have to go again on the flat hunt. I'm pretty sad we have to move out after this short time but I can understand the landlord to a certain degree and given the fact it's not even summer it will get alot worse. His main issue seems to be the constant noise of music and friends coming over but another big issue imo is that he thinks we gonna fuck his place completely (which would've been very unlikely though). Furthermore he's living directly downstairs which isn't working in our favour either - otherwise I'm pretty confident we would not have to move out asap. Alot of people asked me why so the main-points which led to this unsatisfying development are: - my after birthday flat warming aka warm-up on 28th if March (2days after moving in); we started around 6pm and ended the thing about 11pm and had maybe 20 guests. Really no biggie. But a...

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...
