Next stop, teh Golden Coast

Gambar
My time in Melbourne comes to an end so time to write some sort of recap. We arrived on teh 15th and since i screwed up with our flat here we had to stay teh first night in some hotel around teh corner which was allright though. On teh 16th we could finally move into our pad here which is def. better than teh one in Sydney because it's cheaper, larger and has 2 decent bedrooms - only downside is that it's a little bit moar far from teh beach but after 10mins walk you are there no biggie. We staying in St Kilda here and this suburb has defintitely an interesting fucked-up vibe which i like alot. You see all kind of different people on teh street ranging from tourists, surfers, backpacker, bums and hookers. Also funny is that we are basically living 100m away from teh street prostituion hotspot of Melbourne which we realized after seeing those girls grinding street corners in their heels during bright daylight - kinda clueless though which guy takes their services bc they all hea...

Counting down those days...

Gambar
Saturday afternoon here and i'm slightly hungover and not able or willing to work so i might just update teh blog i figured. After 12 days in sydney i'm counting down teh days already to move on. 12 days is not really a long time but for sure long enough to know that tis is not my city and will never be. My first impression that all tis is just another version of London with way better weather becomes moar and moar obvious. And people who know me know that i'm not teh biggest fan... In general everything is quite cool. People are relaxed and friendly, food is decent, weather is good, you feel safe everywhere, everything is nice, clean and modern, etc. But when i take a look at all teh small things i just find so many things which piss me off so much that i wanna puke. I already mentioned teh prices and probably could write a book about it but if you come from europe it is even hard to imagine if you haven't seen it for yourself. I laughed at those people telling me abou...

2013 has started - first impressions of Sydney

Gambar
Allrighty, arrived on teh 29th so here for a couple of days and ready to share my first impressions of sydney with you guys. First and foremost happy new year and best of luck to everybody. At the airport i was waiting in a line which was literally 300m long until i could present my passport after 45minutes and thereafter you have to wait another couple of minutes with your bags on the ground while they send a doggy sniffing on your lugage. Have never experienced such strict customs anywhere so far but they really don't want to get any food/drugs whatsoever in their country. Nevertheless managed to bring in my protein powder even though i almost threw it away at one point. After this procedure i met my main travel buddy in the arrival hall and we proceeded to a taxi after buying some aussie sim cards for our phones. Since teh airport is insanely central for such a big city we arrived in our new home 20 minutes later: living room Location is pretty superb with seaviews and only 200m...

2k12 finish, soon off to OZ

Gambar
Finally i'm done for teh year after some massive grind in teh end. Was like 10th of december when i realized i'm playing by far not enough to hit the 600k milestone anytime soon so that was when i finally made an excel sheet with numbers. That i still had a couple of parties lined up until my flight to OZ was not helping either but my main goal was to be done b4 i board my flight. And in fact I managed to finish around 12 hours b4 that flight so still kinda proud. Even had 2 days where i played over 13k hands which i basically did not do once teh entire year and in teh end i was playing 20-24 tables (majority shorthanded) on an 18" laptop. All this was going surprisingly well and smooth, maybe bc of christmas i would say - had to play a little tighter though once 20 tables were exceeded ofc... Resultswise it's basically like all those other months in the end of 2012. Playing breakeven for half of teh month and making money in teh 2nd half while being significantly abov...

Weak start, strong finish, november madness...

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...
