<1Wk E18-18 SNG Only

i didnt even win lots of them, its just that people have no idea how to get into the money, so i cashed alot and avoided lots of spots where i couldve lost my entire stack...gl the last few days of the year hope all your wishes/dreams come true in 2012...cya 

Almost over

Ok,

so I think tomorrow will be my last real Pokerday....
It was really a sick year 2011 for me....
Alot happened. Reached lots of my goals. Especially when it comes to Onlinepoker my improvements are as good as I hoped they would be.
I finally am confident enough to beat online SNGs (besides Hyperturbosngs I am happy about all my results), there is no format that I am loosing at since I joined SNGprotege, so it has been really the best decision to join the site, and the community there is amazing.
My live-cash play suffered a little from my agressive onlinesng style, but thats ok, I think I can adjust well enough....
I used december to play all kinds of games ranging from headsup turbos ( My results were really good), headsup hypers ( results suck bigtime ), 45men ( really good results) 180s (pretty much skipped them), 6 max satelites, some mtts and some other small cashgames....
Looking at sharkscope it looks as if my results suffered, but looking at it more indepth we see that i played lots of hyperturbos and lots of games between 1-7$ buyin for my challenge. So i really used this month to study and decide what i am going to do in 2012.

I didnt even notice that my swings this month were sooooo big haha


My choice now is to play 45men sngs as my new approach to them seems to work really well and i dont see anyone playing them like me, and I see others get really confused by my plays sometimes...raising 23 and calling shoves and other times folding aj as a shortie...

The next thing is to play 180s at least 4 times a week for a total of at least 600-700 games per week.
We ' ll see how it works...But I dont think I will try to go for sne next year, I really think it will be a waste of time and energy for me

Goals reached 2011:

- reach Supernova
- Beat Onlinesngs
- Move from Livecash to Online sngs
- Travel more ( Brazil, Portugal and different parts of Germany this year )
- Workout more ( worked since November, went to the gym almost too much ^^ )

besides that I had some personal goals that I do not want to share here, but besides one big one, I've reached all of those too.

For 2012 Goals are:

- depending on the Vip Program of Pokerstars I would love to reach SN twice this year
- travel alot again
- improve in MTTS/SNGS
- make at least 50k overall Online next year
- help students of Sngprotege to get better
. AVOID LOOSING too much time/money in Hyperturbo games
- workout at least 5 times a week
- PARTY PARTY PARTY

- and pray that onlinepoker will not be totally destroyed by some politicians that dont even have a clue why they are doing what they do...

wish you all gl in 2012 and wish myself even more luck... cya ;)

I am sooo lazy, am I?

So today I started to look at my sharkscope graph for the last 3 months

I always wonder about my volume...in general I always see myself as extremely lazy and that there is no way I get enough volume in...BUT looking at numbers it really seems pretty decent.

looking at these numbers it totally seems like hyperturbos are not worth my time and I should concentrate more on playing 45men and 180men sngs.

after looking at this I asked myself:
Ok, you do not play as many hrs and as consistently as you should/could...If you can put in 5382 turbo sngs +3300 hypertubos plus some mtts without actually forcing you to play...what do you think you are capeable of playing if you consistently play 7-8hrs/day???? 5 days a week?

right now i play whenever i feel like and have a somewhat vague schedule..
I pretty much managed to NOT play after 8pm for the last 25/30 days, I am really glad I managed to do this as it gave me more time and more strenght to head to the gym at least 4 to 5 times a week and I really feel like my body is giving me alot back by concentrating alot better AND longer...

I will definitely try to work more on keeping my schedule active and work acording to this.
I mean, look at guys like azntracker for example, when he started his sick grind in jan 2011 to get sne by feb28...this is the sickest grind i can imagine and he made it. there is a way to make a lot of money with a cardgame, and it all seems to come to those who WORK...

But we spend dead time infront of the computer reading stuff we already know and watch movies or a series for the 4th time...and the worst part of it, is that i do that stuff too...

lets make it a sick 2012....gl guys..hope to see you all at the tables

swings swings swings

today I had a really sick and swingy day...down 800$ in the first set, then binked a 15$ 180 man sng for 743$, then added another 180 man session and got down again only to cash deep in  4 15$ 180s in the end and be almost even again...
after those two big sessions, with a total of 213 sngs i was down about 28$, and made 933 vpps----

it waws 3 in the morning but i really didnt want to go to sleep, so i decided to play some hyperturbo satelites and won around 220$ there...while watching wpt season 2 episode 1....

definitely feels good to play hyperturbo sngs and win.
I would love to play more of them next year and more Headsup sngs above 100$ next year, but who know where the next swing takes me to...either it ll go down to play avg 10$ sngs or it will move me up to play 60$ sngs soon...lets hope for the pokergods to be on my side....

here is a graph of this month,,,,really makes me puke

and again, not that much volume , but i know that i will win big when finally getting in more games...and playing 350 games today definitely helps ;)

the next thing that i am pretty happy with is that my 45 men game really improved..i tried to play more 45s so that i can coach them better and try stuff and see what works and what doesnt...and so far here are my results...in 7$ 45s so far i have 30% roi, but its a really small sample..will try to put in one day per week only playing 45s...without 15$ 45s i think i am up close to 300$ there, so there is alot of room to improve..lets do this...gl at the tables

VOLUME SUX!!!!!!!!!!

Even before december started I knew that my volume would drop alot...it has been dropping over the last few weeks steadily except when i started the bankroll builder.
This is due to alot of bdays and holidays in december in Germany, and also because its the month i can see my son more, so its always family > poker for me, i hope its the same for you guys too.

besides that i still made more money than the avg person does, so i am really not unhappy so far about this month at all....

first i looked at my cashouts this month and my sharkscope graph and i was really disappointed, but then i realized: i made 600$ in winnings plus rakeback...and mostly i played micros, and only played something around 5-6 days..thats 100$/day...what exactly am i complaining??? play 1-6$ sngs and make 100$/day with 4-5 hrs work per day...and i am really complaining?

after that i realized that we look at monthly stats way too often instead of looking at hrly rates...i did not put much work in, i spend alot of time with the people i love and that makes me happy...
so, YEAH I am really happy right now..i love my job, i love coaching, it was kinda hard to start with, but i think looking at students results it really paid off for both sides,,so i cant wait for january to come and grind the money out of pokerstars ;)

wish ya`ll gl this month, i  will try to get to 2k profit this month at least..wnt be too hard..but today is monday...time to chill ;)

cya

UHHHH so annoying

YO,

another aha moment for me while playing...and that big moment in a 3,50$ sng.

there was a guy with a 10k stack with stats 5/4....
ok till that nothing unusual...wrong!!!!!
after 2 hands his stats increased alot...as he started to reraise every raiser and raised every limper..called all raises and stabbed all pots and so on...
I was shocked to see these plays in 3,50s and by a guy that tight...
I tried to avoid him as much as i could as i was playing too many tables to concentrate on him, lucky for me I had a big enough stack to lean back and wait.

Then we got 3 handed and he started to do this with me over and over again and there was nothing I could do..i was absolutely helpless...and thought: boy this is sooo annoying.....I have to do this myself!!!!!!!!

And so I did and added in more reraises into my game from any position depending on others stacksizes too of course...I always made it less than the player made it..i startet to 4 bet him constantly until he finally started to berate me in chat...

That was the moment it hit me..and i started a new session and every time i had a 10bb+ stack i started to reraise from all positions...well done whyme...played 20 games, won 80$ and am on my way to play more tomorrow...hell yeah

Also this little session taught me once and again that its important to be observant...tho i think that these players suck bigtime, at the same time they teach me how to play better poker sometimes...just watch out for the players that do effective things u dont do..even if they dont understand why they do it, or why its working...that doesnt mean you have to ignore it and not learn from it.

500$ reached/7$ sngs will start now

Jo guys,

so I ve reached the 500$ mark and will add in 7$ 45s and 18 man

so far my stats are pretty ok.

$221

won in 45s, binked a 2,50$ 180, and won big in 3,50$ 18 mans.

I decided to play 18s earlier then planned, the reaon is, that, tho the rake is higher, that people are way worse and I can play more games and therefore earn more fpps and play sunday storm sats to increase my roll faster.

Besides that my volume def. sucks, I ve been partying way too much and not been playing enough.
Also I ve not been sleeping enough, but atleast I ve been heading to the gym more then 3/7 days per week...


Ok thats about it for now, now lets hope I will play more on sunday...


GL

lets start this..

Just a short update:
Just sent my bankroll back to my backer and will now start with lowlimit donkfest grinding...

so I ll start from there:

1,50 - 3,50 45 men it is for now, I ll try to update every time i move up in limits (or down)

I have a fixed schedule to get to the gym and to work so i really hope to make this happen within the 10 days i plan to do it..


wish me luck guys...

enough Staking lets move on

Hey guys..so i finally convinced myself that i should stop to get staked...
i really have to stand on the pokerground myself, and although i have a great stakingdeal with a good friend who leaves me open to whatever i feel like..it still sux to ship someone so much money every single month.

So i thought about what limits i want to start.

My roommate who is one of my students recently started to play 1,50$ 45 men and by 2-4 tabeling after a week moved up to 3,50$ 45men and is still crushing them with my help..so i thought to myself: why not leave the most money possible on your bankaccount and start in the lowlimits and grind my way up to a 2k br...
so...

150$ deposit it is then....

so the last 2 days i ve started to play 45 men ranging from 3,50$ to 30$ and my results are pretty good i think...also I ve thought about some changes i need to make in order to consistently beat them..also i want to start conservative as i dont wanna redeposit.... and i think the best way is to play more agressive then i normally would play them.

also i ve thought about the changes and adjustments i need to make in every single limit in order to beat the limits bigtime....so the last two days i mainly took to learn what exactly the bad players do worse then the players do in my limits and how i can exploid those mistakes better,,,
also I will use camtasia to record my sessions...I will make a video for every single limit i play and discuss the changes I make and comment as much as I can on my game...
For the sake of the video I will only 10 table them as long as the video lasts but normally I'll 15 table....

plan is:
1,50$ 45 men till 250$br
1,50$+3,50$ 45 men till i reach 500$br
3,50$+7,00$ 45 men till i reach 800$br
7,00$+25% 8$ 180s till i reach 1,2k br
after that I ll switch to 15$ 18 man sngs and get into my regular games again....
I hope to make all this happen within 10 days..but who knows what the 180s hold there for me


lets hope the best for whyme ;)

have fun guys

i am tooooooo loose

a few days ago i had a really nice coaching session with one of my students...i dont remember why, but we started to talk about regs and their ranges and i told him that the most agressive players are mostly the ones that win big over time.....and then he mentioned a really good and respected reg ( i will not mention his name as we are friends), who is one of the tighter guys....
and wow that really caught me off guard...this player is one of the best sng players around and he actually is pretty tight. i mean, he can be loose if he has to, but i think, like me he also believes that our stack is not low very often while others think they are too short to fold...
that got me thinking....since i moved to 180s my ranges in 18s pretty much sucked and i could not win really big...so i started to lay in my bed and think about ranges and moves i could make to exploid regs and also think more about stacks and when we actually are short and when not!!!! and i realized some situations where i am 100% sure most regs will shove as they believe they are too short to fold, where we actually can fold..


example:
say we have 9t on the btn with 3k bb 600.....this becomes an autoshove for most players...for me too few days ago btw...but then i just thought, ok i dont think shoving 100% here is best
1. if there is another shorty who will be dead before me, then it becomes more of a fold
2. if the bb and sb are not super active, then its a shove if they have x stack..
3....i found like 10 more reasons to fold or shove or even CALL that i hadnt even thought about before...
and well, what happened was, that i had the best day in 18s since 2 months ago....
tight is right sometimes....the funny thing is, that i ve always told that to other players....that we are not as short as our stack might show us, but then i made the same mistake others do, by letting my direct stack dictate my action...
but in reality it should be my direct stacksize in relation to the stacksizes at the table in relation to the chips in play, that should dictate the action....

a 5tbb stack in a 18 man is not the same in most spots as in a 180...
and treating it the same will cost u money ...a lot of money....

gl guys....

Supernova reached..uhhh yeah

so few minutes ago i finally reached supernova....now let the upswing begin ;)

Portugal , future plans, new book!!!!

JOOOOO guys,
so, yesterday I arrived from my short trip to portugal. Everything went well, got the paperwork done in one day and then spend a day and a half in Faro with Hugo-Piteiracorp...really nice guy...def glad to meet him. he showed me some sites in Faro, what i was really shocked about is how poor people really are there and that life is not that awesome in Portugal as i thought.
There is not much, thats really cheaper then in germany, so i really don't know if moving to Portugal is the best idea. But i still think that i should give it a try for at least one year. Still got enough time to think about it and decide.

Ok I ve probably read the best book about poker life outside of the tables:
Peak Performance Poker

It s not the tipical poker book that talks about strategies at the table or how to play hands or tiltcontrole....but its all about how to manage our time, health, sports, friendships, free time and much more ....
it compares poker to sports and talks about similarities and about how to play our A-Game more with being more healthier....It's definitely super interesting, its a small book and imo, if you are serious about Poker or anything in life that requires a high degree of concentration, this book is a must...

Well besides that not much happened, I have not been playing much, but went on a small downswing in 180s, about 1k, but managed to play some 18s today, up to 30$ buyins and made 504$ in 3 hrs...not too bad. I am awesome lol jokin...ofc

ok what comes next? ok I ve also read acoimbra s blog from the beginning, i really think this guy is awesome and the thought and dedication he puts into this game is remarkable....if you have not read his blog and about his beginnings you def should take few minutes and give it a try...here


well besides that i am pretty happy about life and everything....i think i play extremely well and now i have a time plan for my week....i will try to search for someone to help me with organizing good and healthy meals/food, and right now i have someone helping me with my excercises...

my timeplans look like this from sunday on, without this monday being my free-day as i ve had enough days off for now ;)
work tuesday-sunday with saturday being my shortest day of only 5 hrs work.
I will try to get my days to this schedule asap:
07:30 wakeup, breakfast, rest a bit
08:00-08:30 switch on computer, get myself comfortable and start my session
12:30-13:30 end 1st session
13:30-15:00 break, do some excercises, get on my bike or whatever, but DO NOT USE THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!
15:00 start the second session of the day
19:00-20:00 end session....

on tue,thurs,friday i will head to the gym and have a bigger training session and the rest of the days i will spend quality time with friends...since i have no girl right now, i def like this plan and have enough time for me/my body and my friends...also to stick to this plan i have to give 50$ for every single day that i do not work on schedule ( of course if i have something important to do i can change it slightly but my excercise times per week and my work schedule can not be changed much.... ) def -ev to not stick to my plan ;) haha

well guys thats it for now..i wish ya'll a good rest 2011 and lets party and drink alot when its 1 am somewhere on this planet...damn, thats alot ;)

Oktober is over..happy? i think i should

Ok well Oktober 2011 is done...managed to run like god i guess made roughly 7k and am on my way to get sn in a short time...
Today I started to play 30$ 18 mans...geeeezzzz i forgot how easy these games are, its insane...
had a guy / ratataboom1 sitting at my tables, i assume he was 8-12 tabeling and he normally is freaking tight and all of a sudden he started to 3-bet every single hand and jam when unopened..he once jammed 4k bb100 into 7 people...got called and suckedout with 92o....wtf...oh well but he did loose all games...he did not cash a single one..gg man...
well in that session ( 8tabeling 30 man sngs for a total of 40 games ) I made exactly 300$ not too bad considering how long i ve not played them and i still got that 180 man  strat handranges in the back of my mind, and if u dont switch that asap you will end loosing money.

well besides poker also alot happened, not in oktober but in the following months. I will be living in Portugal from Jan 2012 on. I ve talked to piteiracorp, a good 18 man reg living in Faro, and asked him if he would like to have a pokerbuddy living with him there, and he loved the idea and so we shared some info about where it is and what it would cost and basic stuff like that and i def love the idea...on sunday i will be in portugal and will def meet with him and he ll show me around the city....NICE!!!!!

I ve always dreamt about that, play poker and have the beach near...holy shit I 'd love that...I really can't wait to get to portugal. and even if we dont start living together I would still meet a condo myself and stay there. the only problem i always had with leaving germany is that i hate to be in a place where i dont know a single person... but well i ll deal with it if nothing else is possible...but i def wanna leave germany.

well coming back to poker, i assume that i will now get back on the 18 man train and grind some of those and grind my way up to the 60$ 18 mans and hopefully stay there for longer. TBH i think the biggest fish online are in mtts and in 60$+ 18 mans..the amount of mistakes they make is absolutely rediculous..there is no explanation for a 1st hand allinshove CALL with A5offsuit...are u kiddn me? raise,reraise,shove,CALL,fold,fold...hands flip over AA vs A5!!!!!!!!!!! byebye 60$

There is one last thing I wanted to say and i dont know really how to put it into words, but  i ll try...
today i saw a really good player playing the 30$ 18 mans and i had him marked as really good, then he made a horrible call on the bubble with a2....then i for some unknown reason decided to sharkscope him and saw that he was down 100$k this year....OMG i was shocked..the last 5 years that guy had made 50k+ every single year with 2010 being his best year being up 112$k...
and this year he lost over 100$k in SNGS max buyin 100$ wtf..i dont get that...why do people loose so much? poker seems so easy to me right now..no one is good, in sngs the regs i see everyday, except maybe 3-4, are all bad...they are predictable as reading a book....it then just comes down to luck...and luck will evenout in the longrun...so i start to wonder...will i ever loose the feel for the game..meaning will i ever NOT doubt myself and NOT get better some day??????
i guess i realized how important it is to always ask urself alot of questions while playing and constantly improve and think about the game....

gl everybody lets make something good happen in november!!!!!!

another 1k+ day coaching on sngprotege

Hey guys, hope everybody is enjoing life, as i certainly do.
except one thing that really is sickening to me, my sis has tubal cancer..fuck that, she is in her early 20s...no one in her age should get that. she ll get into hospital on monday so lets hope the best for her..i ll stay with her in hospital for at least 24 hrs and see how it goes...

oh well besides that everything is as perfect as it gets, while i am writing this my cleaner is cleaning my home....how much i love to have one ;) ohhh baby
Yesterday i started a coaching session with a student at home at roughly 3 pm and he left at 5 pm. i wanted to start grinding but felt extremely tired, so i decided to take a nap and grind after that...so at 9:30 pm i finally woke up and started to grind ( the games die at 0:30 am my time ) and managed to win 1,3k in 180s oh yeah baby..then decided to add in some mtts as i felt rested and rdy to kick ass...but well 27$ ko and 13,50 ko went really bad, tho i managed to tripple up my stacks early (without a bounty) i lost huge flips with ak on both tables and busted without any profit..and finally played the daily 27,50$ when a hand occured pre money, that i still can not believe.

i have 5k bb 300 and sitting in the sb. utg raises and has 10k, total fish shoves everything and reshoved earlier with a2o and trippled up against ak and kk.
so he raised utg to 650, 3 callers!!!!, and i jam over that and he isolates me...cards flip over and he has 66!!!!!!!! and boom 6 on the flop ....gg whyme..run good? well, not in mtts obviously. haha
well also i am now a coach on sngprotege and today will be my first coachingsession with my new student, really cant wait to start, he seems like someone really willing to work hard on his game, which  i love to hear. now get things started....i will be playing and coaching from portugal in november...as its getting cold in germany and in portugal at the beach its still nice and warm, so i decided to move to portugal for at least a few weeks....whoever wants to join is welcome...airport faro...lets spend some summertime there ;)
cya guys...

and we keep runnin well

hey guys today is sunday and i really can't wait to get myself into mts and grind today..lets hope for something deep and destroy the games...
yesterday I finished 13th in a 8$ turbo mtt...think my game has gotten extremely good the last few weeks..worked alot on resteal ranges and understanding the HUD better and therefore found alot of good steal spots ....

180s went pretty bad yesterday..was down 1k within no time and then managed to win it all back and was down 70 bucks in the end...not too bad mr whyme ;)

In a few days  i will be putting a friend into 7$ 45s and 8$ 180s..we managed to work alot on handranges for him and he played some 1-2$ sngs and managed to win 100 buyins within 3 days grinding 10 tables constantly....and now he wants to deposite more and move to 7$ limits..lets hope the best for u man...

also i only need less then 10k vpp more to earn supernova on pokerstars woohooo ;)

i am still unsure about the next year. it looks like i will be playing and coaching 180 man sngs for now, but who knows what tomorrow brings?
the swings are brutal but there is no better feeling then winning 2tsd dollars a day with a card game......except a bj and a cocktail while doin so????

OOOHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


gl

OHHHHH yeah

hey guys...short update...ok so yesterday i decided to play 180s after my hyperturbo desaster my bankroll was down to 600$ and well, what can i say this is my graph since leaving sngprotege ;)

nice turnaround...and my new coaches tips are worth a ton....

gl guys

OPTIONS???

Ok guys..my first week after sngprotege has passed and though it was not a very profitable one I am still really happy with my results..basically now i know that i can handle variance pretty good as i did not stop to play though i had lost 50% my br in one session....then i did move down in limits back and forth when i had to.
So everything went pretty good and this week I will work even harder since I am single again lol..women are still a mistery to me...

so lets hope for a good start...my br is at 1k right now...so i am still down 33% but thats ok..concentrae and go on...
next thing  i am pretty happy about is that i have a new coach ( yeah i truely believe we all should have one at any time ) ... Its Yeshua_Won... A good friend of mine is being coached by him and his results seem to be awesome both, from him and from his students...And I am pretty happy with the agreement we have so far and looking forward to work with him....wish me luck ;)



here my two graphs for the week...ughhhh who can spot what the 18 man graph is....ahhh shoot me please

gl next week guys....

loosing your bankroll/coaching

hey guys...
yesterday I lost 50% of m bankroll after having to move down to 15s a few days before because of blowing my winnings in hypers...
now the thing is i feel really good, as i really played great and pretty much was right all the time (except of not knowing when fish call me with k2 and kill my AA wtf!!!!!!) with people s ranges, it just didnt work out for me yesterday..oh well...now that i am still getting stacked and can blow the bankroll i have for as long as i want there is no need to move down in limits...but if it was my roll ( am at 850$ right now) i would move down to play 7$ 45 men sngs and grind my way back up...i hear alot of people think that being a poker player is so freaking easy and baller....oh boy, thats so far away from reality that i really start to laugh every time but at the same time would never tell them the truth, why should I? they will not understand it....because they dont have to!!!! they have to do their day job, feed their kids and fk their wife perfectly every day, so understand how variance and pokerskill works perfectly is not on their to do list....
yesterday I thought about gettin a coach for mtts and 180s...a really really good guy...really nice, friendly and smart...i am sure he could help my game alot...
then i talked to bubbleoutcas about it all and he asked me some questions that i really want you to ask yourselves before considering coaching:
1. whats ur br?
2. what did u do to master mtts??? (nothing in my case, should ve been watching movies, reading forums..... amm)

OK, he said, THEN YOU SHOULD BE GRINDING!!!!!

end of the discussion..man i thank you alot for the last sentence...clarified everything...lets grind

feeling sooo fkn miserable

I feel soooo bad right now..and am really mad at myself....
For the second day in a row i lost all my winnings in hyperturbos...
yesterday I lost 800$ playing 18,77$ hyperturbo satelites , then started with 1500$ roll and played 15$ 18 man sngs within 3 hrs i had it all up to 1900$ again..today i wasn't in the mood to play 18s in the morning time, and as there were no regs in the hypers, I decided to play them again..and yeah lost my 400$ profit within 2 hrs....
Man what a fkn fish I am...I am up nearly 2k in 18s so far since sngprotege ended and lost EVERYTHING in hypers...why can't I stop playing them?
and to be honest I really think I played great, I didn't tilt or anything, its just that I really ran so much under ev, that it makes me sick to think abd talk about it
people calling off bvb with 84 for a fullstack and busting my aces is soooo annoying especially when u are in a sick downswing anyway....
well i guess i ll exclude myself from playing hypers from now on...
if i want to get to 60$ 18 man sngs within this month, well then thats the way to go...byebye hypers..hello 18 man grind....

I guess I ll grind 200 games/days from now on,....lets hope that my small sized brain will stop me from playing hypers and cashgames.....fkn rigged online poker lol ;-P

first 2 days after sngprotege

ok just a short update...i started with 1,5k on sunday evening and ran it up to 2435$ so far...
started today with 30$ 18 mans and ran horribly in the beginning loosing tons to fish but managed to win it back later finishing itm alot and am up 450$ ( 15 buyins for 30s ) in them.
last 2 days have been amazing, lets hope this lasts..here a short graph and oh yeah i somehow managed to get my sharscope silver star back for 15$ 18man sngs..haha
welcome back 18 mans..here  s my graph for 18 mans and hyperturbos last 2 days

wish ya'll good luck in your games

SNG PROTEGE CONTRACT DONE!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys hope life is good for y'all...mine is as awesome as it gets...
have a new girlfriend and she is really a sweetheart, was a bit complicated at first...but honestly, show me a woman on this planet that isn't ;)

as far as poker goes, I ve finished my 10k games contract with sngprotege tonight...i needed exactly 132 sngs today , and after a bad start and being down 200$ in the first 30 sngs i decided to stop, get some sleep, asked my girl for some quality time ;) and then grind again till i had 102 games behind me...plan worked...
I did not play 180s, since i want to play 18s after sngprotege _( more about that later)

first i was down to 431$ in bankroll in my session and really thought i would run out of money within my session as i needed roughly 58 more games to finish the contract and didnt cash at all...
but then went on a sick upswing and finished 5 1st places in a row and in the end got my bankroll up to 1655$ starting at 700+$....
and all sngs finished for my contract.. it was 4 in the morning when i closed my last sng... thank god ;)

well here are my final numbers without tournaments


whyme270483            7,682   $1     $12     10%   $10,653     -       18s

whyme270483            2,336   $3     $9     26%   $6,813     -       180s

whyme270483            557   $1     $8     13%   $492     -   45s

whyme270483            4,931   $1     $17     4%   $4,180     -   hyperturbo 6max sngs


sscope is missing alot of sngs and alot of profit, but well....

ok plans for the future...
I'll start on my own roll in 15s and try to grind it up to 2100 and then play 30$ 18 mans with 20 buyins and drop down to 15s again if i loose the 20 buyins....
I ll do that till I am at 60$ 18 mans..and will try to stay there so when i have 1500$ + 1200$ ( 20 buyins of 60$ sngs) + 600$ ( 20 buyins of 30$ sngs ) I ll play the 60s..lets hope for the best...its really loose and risky to play with only 20 buyins but:

1. I wanna move up fast and dont mind move down a few times
2. I am absolutely comfortable playing higher and I know I can beat those games



lets hope the best for whyme ;)

wish y'all good luck and hope to see everybody in 60s soon

2k day wooohooo

just finished the best session i ve ever played..feel like i was extremely focussed...had a coaching set an hr before starting to play...got some brainfood (fish+some vegetables) and had a student railing me beside me and asking questions, and that really inspired me to think about other peoples ranges more and to think about optimal ranges against them...thanks bubbleoutcas for the help...really got me thinking...

The end is near, ideas,thoughts and hyperturbos, Propbets

Hey guys,
the last 2 weeks have been pretty sick for me. I ve started a propbet with puyan on pokerstars. We had a pointsystem and whoever had the most points on 14th. september would win the propbet. I ran pretty hot and so puyan got a new avatar...




I think having Bart Simpson is not too bad :=) hehe

well in the bet i had to play 180s sololy and that took 1-2 days to get used to the stupidity of the players there... honestly I hear alot of players say that these games are so regfilled that they are close to unbeatable...wtf are you guys talking about???? I have not played 180s since january this year, and this is my graph in them for the last 2 weeks.

I mean cmon, I ve reviewed some of my deepest handhistories and I ve made so many mistakes in them and still cashed so often, still got alot of badbeats. I had one day where I lost 13 times out of 67 sngs with a higher pair vs smaller pair for huge stacks!!!!!!!!! 13 times!!!!! games are unbeatable???? cmon wtf are these players talking about???

Next thing are hyperturbos. I ve now spottet the perfect time to play hyperturbo satelites...there is hyperturbo satelite every day, that provides 1,5 hrs of the easiest games on this planet... I wished I could manage to play more then 8 sngs at a time, but i really can't. but i ve made around 200$ in 90 minutes nearly every single time I played in these games...
Railing acoimbra for 5 hrs straight and putting him on ranges and others too has helped me and i am pretty sure i can compete with these guys easily and i could definitely go for supernovaelite next year if i somehow could get a decent bankroll to play hyperturbos as the variance is pretty sick in them.
here are my hyperturbo results so far....

.
and remember, I am absolutely new to this form of poker, but one thing I know and recommend everybody to do: tabel select all the time!!! you will make alot more money with max one reg at your table!!!!!!!! the swings are brutal guys, and also if you dont table select you have to play a2,22,k6s type hands and variance will hit you pretty hard.

well enough poker talk plans for this year are my move to Portugal in October. And also I would love to stay in Mexico and Canada for at least 2-3 weeks each. I really don't know if i can make both happen this year as its really expensive but i will definitely do my best.
If someone has an idea where to stay and spend some cool time this year just shoot me a message. i would be very thankfull...
really hope i can make something happen.
other then that i spend alot time with my best friends and chill pretty hard....I love to chill in the sun or in the sauna...

thank god the sun is sooo beautiful ;) cya
