Weak start, strong finish, november madness...

Gambar
Another month passed and time to update this precious blog. As teh title states i started rather weak but finished pretty strong with one of my best alltime weeks moneywise. Since i rarely include EV lines i did it tis time and yes, i can confirm, even when i run bad i really run good. After a monster session of 9k hands on last friday i was far away from having a 15k month and prolly would've instasettled for 10 if i had teh opportunity but since in tis game everything is possible every time i managed to book one of my better months tis year. Cannot remember also when i played tis volume last time - 65k VPP. Besides that garph there is another 1.5k (including rakeback) to add from grinding a little bit Rush 200 at teh newly reopened Full Tilt Poker. In teh beginning i was planning to grind Stars and Tilt at teh same time but then decided against it which has several factors. For once stacking both sites is a pain in teh ass bc there is no proper software out yet which can handle t...

2012 finish line comes closer

Gambar
Another month down and teh end of teh year and my travel season comes closer. Wasn't teh very best month at teh tables but in teh end i made 5digits b4 rakeback which is something like my minimum goal so i will not complain. Like in september i pretty much missed teh start of teh month entirely and after 2 weeks work and 50k hands i find myself with basically zero $ tableprofit and some pocketchange out of rakeback: welcome to playing poker for a living, sometimes you work for free and sometimes u even pay for work :P Not drinking alcohol during that time didn't seem to have teh same effect like in september profitwise... Was about mid of teh month when i was really not satisfied with my overall results and play so i decided to put in some work off teh tables and put in some new theory. Don't get me wrong, i was by far not unhappy with my game but i realized that in some spots was definitely room for improvement and i wasn't studying teh game at all during summer. Given...

Summer is over, back to Business, Bitches!

Already been moar than 1 month since my last post so i guess it's time even though i don't feel too much like writing. Pokerwise September was a good although not perfect month but i'm still satisfied overall. I even managed to run about 250$ beyond EV which is strange bc my account is not made for running beyond in general. Winrate is over 2.5PTBB as well which is pretty topnotch in todays games i think. You basically can split teh month in 3 parts. First is a slight downswing over teh first 2 weeks while running up to 20stacks below EV as well, followed by one of my (if not teh best) weeks (and sickest heaters) i ever experienced since i started playing. 3rd part is fairly std and a little swingy but nothing too special. Especially the massive heater was interesting where i was basically not losing any flips for like 15k hands while having a WSD of well over 60% (other players will know what a sick number that is...) Nevertheless i'm still running meh at teh higher li...

Travelbuddies for Australia 2013 wanted!

Hi there, I just opened a facebook book regarding this but cross-post it here to maybe create moar interest. If you are interested just hook me up on facebook and I'll invite you to teh fb-group! cheers Sup foos! European summer comes slowly to an end and as some might know my plan this winter is to escape to Australia and co. from januar 2013 ongoing for 4-5 months. Last year I had a blast in South America but I decided to not go back there until I at least speak semi-fluently spanish and this will not happen in teh next few months.  So my main issues in searching for a place to go were good weather (so obv i have to go south) and english language. After all I decided to roll with Australia for next year and see how I like it. If I have to go alone I will do so but if I find somebody who is keen on travelling a little bit with me even better. If you have already plans for january++, cannot move bc no money, gf that stresses, whatever it is just snapleave teh group in order to keep...

Eurosummer comes to an end...

After not updating for over a month now i guess it's about time... During the last 6 weeks i wasn't doing much else besides party, party, party. So my pokervolume was probably the lowest i played teh since i started to grind for a living but fortunately i ran good for the most part and was at least able to cover my expenses and a bit moar... In the end i was calculating from teh beginning of teh year that i will not work too much in july and august given to different factors. For once during this time it is just way too hot in Malta too work your ass off. Point 2 is that there are way too many parties to attend and another issue is that i got alot of people visiting me over the last 5 weeks and i cannot tell my good friends coming down to Malta "listen, i have to work, i cannot go out with you guys". So given all these factors i'm still kind of proud that i managed to play 150.000 hands during the last 2 months. Regarding teh parties i don't really know much w...

One week in Sweden - Visby, Gotland Update

Gambar
Allrighty, sitting here in Visby in my hotel room and since it's teh first day this week where I'm taking a break from teh party and teh alcohol I guess I can give my impression so far. First off I was expecting way moar of this week. In teh end we running pretty bad weatherwise and I assume that is prolly teh main reason why nobody of us is satisfied. I arrived on tuesday with 5 other pokerplayers for teh Stockholm week in Gotland (small island in Sweden for those who don't know. But yeah, the main problem is probably teh sick amount of rain and it is insanely cold for july even for Sweden (around 16°C during daytime). The other probably even bigger problem is that everything is closing at point 2am in teh night which is tilting teh shit out of all of us. We prolly wouldn't have even bothered coming here if we would've known that from teh very beginning, but somehow teh clubs screwed up their licenses to open longer during this week and so the law forces them to cl...
