Life without Winter - trying to make it happen :)

Gambar
Honestly I want to write more often here but somehow I'm too busy/lazy/whatever... But now almost one month after my last post I think I can share a little bit (it's not that I wouldn't have stuff to post every week but yes, lazy me). First off I thought about my near/mid future and what I want to do with it while I was not really able to sleep one night and came to the conclusion that I'm living life at 90% right now, but why not living it 125% or 140%? I'm playing since almost 3 years for a living now, stopped giving a fuck about money long time ago and still I'm not travelling like 1/4 of what I want to travel. I mean, I'm free like a bird, can basically work from everywhere in the world (ok wait, no longer in the "land of the free"), make decent money even if I only work like 80 hours a month and I'm not using the opportunities given because of that. Don't get me wrong, I feel pretty damn good atm in Malta, getting to know a shitload of...

Summer is coming

Gambar
Because I'm lazy it's been a while since my last post. But whatever, alot of stuff happend the last 30 days and I was more or less busy for the most part... As many of you know we got kicked out of our summer residence after 22 days so it was time to come up with something new and something better. This was the last place: Unfortunately the new place has no pool but besides that I like it more because it's alot more in the center and we have no direct neighbours. But it was a long way to sign that one... Everything was basically set up but then the landlord received an anonymous phone call telling him a german and a new zealand guy were kicked out of their old penthouse and so he didn't wanted to rent the place to us anymore. Kind of reasonable. After a long email from me and my roomie, after a long talk of the Dhalia Real Estate Manager with the new landlord, after a reference letter from my old landlord (when I lived here one year ago), after increasing the security d...

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...

So today I received the final email from my flat in London. Haven't anything better to post atm so I share it. Second part might be funny though. cliffs: - you even get ripped off after leaving London - solution: Never move there in the first place!

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...
