yay..finish strong at the end of the year..yay

Hey everybody...today I tried a new schedule..in the morning time...starting at 8am my time...there were like 4 33$ mtts and few other ones 2 hypers snd the hot109..and some really sweet small mtts...
had another really cool day ...so there is butterflies and sunshine everywhere right now ;)

also shipped 2 15$ 180s today..so i have to be ranked 3 or 4th for 5-15$ 180s for this year...sweet... thats the way I like it...
My new approach to Poker works perfect..Obviously alot of it is variance for now...But I mean, today I cashed in more than 40% of games and for the whole week besides Sngs it s been like that all the time....yayayay
Today I playeds a sick Hand...Really sick that I can not find it, BUt it was like this..

HOT 109$ :

A reg opens UTG+1 3bbs with 30bbs I sit in the BB with AA and 28bbs...the BTN calls the raise and I reraise too high making it 18bbs...

UTG+1 and BTN both call. flop is T92 rainbow. I bet allin and both players call allin. UTG+1 has 24 off and BTN has QJo.-...

obviously turn comes K and I am out...I guess there is still some money to be made in Poker????

LOL...My day will come...I can feel it...but until then I take the 1,5k days ..lol

wish you all the best....

I really need to get used to bigger Swings

Hey,

Merry XMAS to everybody.
Am sitting at home now, waiting a few minutes till Christmas starts and everybody gets their presents.
But there is a topic in the back of my head that I would like to share and that is Swings:

I started to watch Jason Summerville videos again last week, and I don`t know what happened, but it seems that on tuesday something started making more sence to me in terms of optimal MTT-PLAY.
I really don`t know what it was, but it really refelcted in deeper runs in Mtts all week and more cashes.
I started playing 40% of hands and it all made so much more sence....I don`t know why, but it does...
And the next thing it caused was that I am playing alot higher avg buyins than before and therefore the swings started to get alot bigger.

Yesterday this was my session:
(actually the numbers are just totally wrong, I ended the day with 467$ more on my account. who knows....sscope is known to be wrong anyway and also at one point I was down 1300$)

AVG. Buyin is 35,04$ compared to my AVG. Buyin of roughly 10$ till last month, thats really sick. so the swings are insane compared. The good thing is that I really wasn`t worried at all at any time. It just made total sence to me to loose more money and win more money once my avg. buyin goes up.

There was one point yesterday where I felt really bad.
I played the sunday million and lost AA vs K7 - QQ vs KQ - 77 vs 44 and then I was out... I think I played extremely well, I played roughly 40% of hands and created a sick image, with alot of bluffing and stealing and got it in 3 times crushing peoples hands, but loosing...
But this shows me one thing: I can do this, the big score is near...my new style of play is highly profitable, the downside is that I have to pay super close attention to the table, and therefore can not play more than 2 mtts at once, or a third which then is a turbo...
who knows guys...gimme a rungood and I have the feeling that I will win a Major pretty soon...

Everything just makes soooo much more sence.... I mean I will try my best to win another 3k this month to finish with 11k profit, which is my goal for december!!!!

Can u feel it????I CAN FEEL IT!!!!!!


gl guys...next post is a 2012 summary....

PLC - Pokerlifestyle Coaching

Hey Ladies and Gents,

I hope that everybody is doing well out there.
The end of 2012 is very near, I really do hope that all your wishes came true for 2012 and that all goals got a little bit nearer. For me everything went better than I ever could imagine.

Now it`s time to think about the future and Goals for 2013. So I thought about sharing my Goals here, maybe they can inspire some of you out there. Also I want to share some ideas I have about future Plans I have.

Let`s start with my Goals 2013:

Life:

- continue my good schedule and balanced life
- eat better, healthier ( by no means do I eat unhealthy or bad, but I think there is some room for improvement, and that`s what I will work on the next few weeks)
- continue the quality time with my beautiful girl
- visit at least two new countries in 2013
- sport; continue the workouts with my new personal trainer, work on getting stronger and healthier

Poker: 

- Improve my Tournament game to a level, that I can play even less in Future and higher limits
- Give Poker a less important role in my life
- Start my new Coaching Idea ( more about this later in this Blog-update )

Moneymanagement:

- buy 4-8 small flats in 2013 and rent them constantly
- start 2 new business besides Poker in 2013
- improve my abilities in the real estate market to skyrocket in 2014-2016 ( more about this in later blogupdates )


well I guess this is it in terms of Goals for 2013. And I am really excited. So far I ve reached alot in the last few years and am very happy to step into the future.

My last and most important Point today is the anouncement of a new site I am working on. It will be called

Pokerlifestyle Coaching

It will to a certain extend be like a coaching from my favorite Coach and Mentor: THOMMY ANGELO,

but there will be a huge difference: the Price!!!!

But I will announce more after this weekend. Believe me guys, it will be a total blast what we will do for you guys over there. There will be nothing out there you can compare it to...

We will coach everything you need outside Poker, that highly influences your Pokerresults.

The mental stability

Health

Relationship-management

Life balance

Moneymanagement outside Poker

and alot more

I am already working with someone under this program, and the results will be anounced in the next weeks...

As always I wish you all the best, and hope to see you soon....

Oh as of Poker, I shipped another 60$ 180 man for a cool 3k and came really close to 2 big scores finishing 14th in the 3r 2x turbo 5tsd$ for first and 15th in the big 11...the next big score is near, I can feel it...

I can`t wait 

best week i ever had, besides winning one big thing

ok, so this week now comes to an end , and it has definitively been the most profitable week of MR. WHYME270483 s online life.. besides getting one big mtt score of course

shipped a 60$ 180 man....sux bigtime that the volume is sooooo low ;) but  i take it hahahahaha

then  this is my week....

not that bad ;)

and finally I am on the leaderboard of the 5-15$ 180s as Gold star...big big week  I guess ;) yay Poker is fun again....

Thank GOD ITS MONDAY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay

huge one!!!!!!!!

Ok guys... so long time I didn`t really put much time into blogging, but niow too much has happened and so I feel its time to write something down here...

Let`s start with Poker ( lol doesn`t this ever get boring??? haha )

I am near my goal in 180s for 2012, I wanted to reach Goldstar in 180 mans and only one more spot on the ladder to climb.

I assume within the next week or so, I will be there

so far 2012without rakeback and live earnings.

Next thing, I recently started to think alot about my Pokergame and I am actually really happy about my results and my skilllevel.... I mean I did not have a single loosing month since 2010 and only one month or two with winnings of less than 2k... ( early 2012 I cashed big in live cash and mtts )
But one thing bothered me: I spend too much time playing poker.

So the consequence was to hire a really good coach and learn how to be more effective.

And after searching for a while I found this man...I have alot of respect for him and totally recommend him to everybody. And if anyone thinks I am posting this as I will get any money from him for recommendations, then I can assure you, that you are 100% wrong.

But this man will be the next coach I want to hire again, and discuss things with him.

twitter: https://twitter.com/JaxtrawPoker

Facebook http://www.facebook.com/JaxtrawPoker

And I really have to say it again:

When you think you don`t need to learn more and get a coach or people that help you in your game and in life, then that will be the day that you stop improving and will fall behind in near future...

spacegravy wrote in his blog few months or only weeks ago, that he was searching for people who want to discuss with him new games and want to sharpen their skills headsup with him, as he wants to leanr more about the game....

Ok I need to make it a bit clearer:

At this point spacegravy already made over 150k in 2012, and he wants to learn and improve?????
And you think you don`t want to hire coaches and talk to other players? OK GOOD LUCK!!!!!


Next thing i want to announce is that I will start a Pokerhouse in Germany for 1 or 2 weeks around march of 2013.

What does that  include?

We will have a cook, that will make fresh stuff for us every day.
We will have a personal trainer 3 times per week... ( he is my personal trainer right now, so i can assure you, that he will be the best man for the job available )
There will be a  coaching for investments besides Poker.
I will be there 24/7 for everybody available. You can watch me play and I can watch you play. we can talk about poker, about health, about everything you need.


My philosophy is:

Coaching Poker is not enough: what can I do besides the pokertables to improve my results on the pokertable?

There will be Food, Health, Financial and Poker-Coaching in that time, from professionals in all those Parts.
The prices will totally depend on how many people want to join us.

If you are interested hit me up for more details.

I promisse I will give all my best to make it worth all the time, the money and the effort.

Some results in the end:

I shipped a 25$ hyperturbo yesterday for 4332$

was really a nice feeling after getting second a day before in a 5,40$ ko for 1500$ and shipping 3 15$ 180 mans in 2 days too.... yay run good or what? ;)

Also I thought alot about my life and where I wanna go to in the future, and so i decided to spend more time in other business besides Poker and invest all my money in buying and renting flats and houses..around february my girl and me will buy 2 flats which will give us about 200€/month each in winnings. goal is to get to 5 flats in 2013 and add another 5-10 in 2014.

If my results in Poker keep getting better and better, then it will be more and faster..
To be able to do so, I decided to get staked again by a good friend of mine and play higher games and fewer hours. I right now make around 60-70$/hr, which is fantastic... now playing higher buyins and more constantly will be good for my life and relationship.

So how is my day right now?

Mo: learn in the morning and do coachings ( learning can be for poker and also reading books to inprove in finances ) after 7p.m. start work
tuesday: workout at 10 am  ( I have a personal trainer who really kills me - Perfect ), after that i totally chill, till 4pm, then I pickup my girl and we go out to dinner and after that I start my session.
wednesday: no poker-DAY, I spend the day with my girl, watch movies, play lots of boardgames.. I love that shit ;) then at 8pm, I spend time with my best friends, every single week
thursday: 10am workout - same as tuesday, but mostly i play 180 mans here
friday: play in the morning and after 3pm i stop, pick up my girl and we do something fun.
saturday: 10 am workout , after that most of the time i take the car and my girl and we drive somewhere, go shopping, or spend time with friends
sunday: serious grind-DAY. mostly we sleep long, then have a really sick breakfast ;) and after that we chill alot and when i see the games getting juicy, I sit at my computer and play...


the only days that i always play are tuesday and friday..the rest gets changed alot....as i love spending time with my gf and i want to change my life more towards investing money in buying flats, so I try to learn more and more.

Also I will start another Coaching part of Poker - The Part outside Poker that lets you win more in Poker.

I will announce more about this in the next posts, also I want to change my layout , so if anyone can help me on that I would be very thankful for your help.

Wish you all the best guys...sry for the long post....

Whyme270483

finally another 2k day

yay guys, i hope everybody is doin fine...
i have alot to post, actually i ve been extremely lazy last few month in terms of posting here, but tbh things have not been going very well...i made around 2$ per game for 2 months almost...which makes me pretty crazy, as I am used to make alot more...
so finally today i sat down to play my usuall session starting at 8pm. and boom here is the result of todays session...pretty happy about that result tbh....
oh one thing on the side. my last game was a 15$ 180 man sng, whichone I chopped with my good friend andrew23122....congrats on winning it dude... we just destroyed the competition.

so a 2k day in 180 man sngs it is for me...yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

poker is fun...

will have lots of photos of berlin and other things for the next post, but for now am really tired

cya guys...gl

NEW WINDOWS

Hey, how is everybody doin?
Hope everything is going well for everybody...Lately lots of things happened in my life, so I guess its a good time to make a post ;)

First of all I reached this yesterday

Not that I think it would be  a particularly great accomplishment or anything hard to do, once u did it before,

but still nice to pick up all that rakeback...I think if u get Supernova status again you get around 5,6k$ in rakeback overall??!! I think that number is pretty accurate. that`s actually 60% of my bankroll, so still lots of $$$$$$

Coming back to Poker for a second, this month has been pretty horrible so far for me, not because I did not win or did not win enough in a vacuum..But I did not win enough for my current life situation.. I am renovating my home, buying new windows, painting every room and changeing the floor of my living room...so I decided to grind long sessions since 2 weeks and well, it just went downhill and pokerstars did everything they could to NOT let me win...But then finally the last 2 days went NORMAL ( for my standarts lol ) and I am finally in the black again.

Besides that what happened???

My girlfriend and me were bored last saturday, so we decided to step into any train and just drive to any place it took us...so our first stop was "ERKELENZ", one of the most boring towns I can imagine...BUT!!!! whenever u find a boring town with lots of old and rich people in germany, there is one thing that they definitely have and that is good restaurants and Cake Shops....man, that Cake I ate was sooooooooooooooo good....unbelieveable 

So after that we decided to take the next train anywhere ( wasn`t that hard of a decision as there is only one train in that town lol ) and we stopped in NEUSS. A bigger city and took a long walk here into the center of the city...Actually nothing spectacular happened. we then ate a Steak and called it a nice day....

So far in my oppinion life is pretty good, that renovating thing causes alot of pain in my bankaccount but besides that everythings cool BESIDES!!!! the weather here...I mean what the hell....its cloudy, rainy and cold all the fkn time....when will this stop..holy god...

My girlfriend will finish her education next year, and I am kinda hoping that she will not continue in that company so that we will be able to travel around the globe.. I can provide for both of us with no problem...

One last thing guys, I will be having a big big big coaching session in mid November about 180 man sngs. I will reveal everything I know about that sort of sng. I don`t have a price yet but I think it will be about 3 hr session for 99$ dollars.And anyone can join!!!!..But I will tell you guys the exact numbers in a few days.. I am really excited about it and some may wonder why I want to give away so much info...well it`s because I will move to other games pretty soon, I already searched for a really good coach for that ( 6max ) and also I am 100% sure that I am good enough to adapt my style well enough when playing against guys that know what I am doing...

so far 180s for me..I am happy with that ;) wish you all the best guys...and stay tuned to see something cool coming...not that abc-coaching others do...But crazy WHYME stuff hehe...cya...

as always, I wish you all the best

saturday grind done

Ok, so another really interesting and profitable night in the books...

the coolest part about this night is that i won one 3r 180 man one 8$ 180 man and one 15$ 180 man sng

triple crown for two days in a row...thats kinda cool ;)and i am back on the leaderboards for 180 man sngs. after not playing them for almost 2 months..thats kinda funny and cool...what are these other guys doing all the time? i dont get it..wish you guys all the best..will spend some time with my girl outside today and then be back to the grind at about 6-7 pm....

cya

is coaching really important?

IT is 13:30 in germany and i will start my saturday grind in about 2-3 hrs..and i can not sleep...so i discussed some non-poker related stuff with friends and my girl, bought a new mouse with trackball...anyone knows if its good for work? i saw wizard of ahhs use one, and my hand starts to hurt afer long sessions so i decided to try it...
logitech M 570

well besides that i decided to talk a little bit about the importance of coaching. alot of people seem to just grind and not relly think about their results much, they just think:
Oh i make 1$ per game, thas cool, so i wanna grind 2k games and i make 2tsd dollars.. right? yes  definitely true, but why would u not get a coach for 80$/hr or more and make 2$ or more dollars per game???? within the first session you would regain the money that u invested in the coaching. think about it.. if you take 3 hrs coaching for 100$/hr and you play 3 days of your games and you make 33 cents more per game you oaid your coach and make 100$ profit. so within 2 days your coaching pays off...

why am I talking about this? well, i think its kinda sad that so many people waste their time playing and not improving.... i mean i make 4$ per game or more since almost 18 months and i am still not happy with that.

I decided to move to portugal to fully concentrate and on my game and increased my $/game/hour by almost 40%..then now i decided to move to 6 max and learn the game as perfect as i can. i beat the 60$ games by almost 9% so far and the 100$ games too, but i think like 2-3% is accurate.
but still on monday I will get coaching in them to improve. I know i have lots of leaks and want to fix that shit... so 400$ investment, HERE IS MY MOONEY!!!!!!!!!


I really mean it guys... its important to have a coach and to improve...there are tons of people coming to the pokergame and in order to consistently win you need to talk to players that are good/winning are intelligent.. and if it costs me 400$ to improve, i am willing to pay that any day...

also, when thinking about this and discussing with some friends i looked at my 180 man graph for this year..i def like what i see there;)

Oh and i ve decided to play ept prag in december...
can´t wait to get there and play that huge field.. lets hope for a rungood and nice people ;)

definitely the city looks amazing

wish you all the best guys..cya

friday grind is over, two more days

ok so the friday grind is over, i have one more 15$ 180 man open with last 3 tables and i am 4/26


so not in the worst spot, so far i ve had a really nice session , I started my session at 3pm and now it is 4:30 in the morning. so nice long session. my girlfriend made a really nice meal for us and i found myself a new 30 inch monitor on amazone ;)

here my results, more to come :

i came second in one 35$ 180 and made a few really deep runs in other games... including 3 second places in 15$ 180s...pretty happy about my results and my game

cya guys


edit:

ok finished first in the last 15$ 180 man i had open..so was a nice 2,7k day today.. not that bad ;)

weekend grind

so this weekend i want to see if i have any grinding skills in me. i will start today at 4pm and grind 15 hrs per day for 3 days straight...
will be the biggest grind i ve ever done.
there are 2 reasons for this grind.

1. i want to get more volume in and want to punish myself for being so lazy

- i usually grind for 2-3 hrs and then i stop, sometimes when i play 180 man sngs i play 6 hrs but thats about it then.. thats absolutely not acceptable

2. i will buy new windows and a new kitchen for my flat, so i will need some money.. and so far this year i made roughly 75$/hr which is a bit higher than last year with roughly 48$/hr...

so far i think that 180 man sngs are still a really good way to make good money. i mean, look at all the shitty regs in them, they still have shove/fold ranges which is a total joke thinking about how much poker content is available. people are just too lazy to get up and improve.

so PEDRO will be working this weekend and prove that he is not only a good player but also a true grinder...

wish you all the best and sta out of my way...

Back in Germany, Grinding time!!!

Ok, sooooooooo

I am now officially back in Germany and it´s been pretty hectic so far since I am back.

I will renovate my flat, as my girl and me will be staying there for a while now, and there is really a lot to do.
There is not a single room that is 100% or even 50% ok.....

something like this I guess.....

For the pokerside of life everything is going pretty well. I transitioned from mainly 180s to 30-100$ 6 max and played some steps and got 2 step 6 tickets which I used to get into the wcoop mainevent. I won one ticket BUT!!!! I didn´t play. I cashed it out, as the money right now is really more important to me than the chance to play the ME. Maybe next year? yeah, who knows...

Currently I am up about 6k for this month obviously the steps boosted that alot ;)
I ran too much above EV in 6 max turbos as I am currently at 19% ROI or something, but yesterday I got a hit in the stomach when i lost 21 30$ 6 max without a single chance of mincashing or so...

Oh yeah I almost forgot, yesterday I won my first 35$ 180 man SNG that was fun ;)

As far as the rake goes in 6 max, i like it alot at this point as it will give me the chance to get a nice shot at SNE next year without working too much or playing too many tables. If I can maintain 100$ avg buyin it wil be no problem to reach SNE for me...just a matter of getting my ass up and grind!!!!!!!

My good friend FCPROSPEKT wants to do it with playing cap cashgames, I am 10000000% sure he can do it, so wish you good luck on that one buddy...

What else? oh, well...My gf and I have some plans to go to Mexico and canada and visit some friends there and spend a cool time. But we first need t wait a bit as she does not have much holidays left till her education is finished in June 2013. And I don´t want to leave her here alonefor like a month or so...

Oh yesterday we went to the cinema ( little sidenote ) and saw the worst movie of all time - the new Resident Evil - Holy shit what a waste of money and time...In the middle of it I ran out of the cinema and bought some icecream and spent some time outside....
this must have been some kind of experiment on humans with brain????? I dunno, but certainly can not be a serious attempt to make a good movie....

Well....To be continued

sum up/future

Portugal is almost over and I am a little bit disappointed with my results as i got pretty lazy by the end of our trip,
but  I mean....I am in Portugal, I wanna at least chill a little bit.

So we went to Barcelona and played the estrellas mainevent 1100€ buyin.

I think I played very well. i had only one good player at my table and managed to run my startstack to almost 60% more within the first 3 blindlevels. then i got aq utg, I minraised 4 guys called and the really loose bb shoved 7k over it..it was bb 300 if i remember correctly, i pretty much insta called that and didnt really expect any other players in the pot..cards flipped over and he showed q9 off. not the worst spot... the flop came t23 and the guy to my left told me: u got this..nice man, u run hot, and i answered: dude its not over...
and he hit runner runner str8 to win the hand...

few minutes later i threw away q8 on a jt9 board as i had a really strong read on a guy, and he had kq as he was allin and a guy called with aj....fkn fish... after that i did NOT get broke on a 556AA board with A8...the opponent 3x reraised my river bet and i only called and he had 55...strong reads, as i said.

well then I busted with A9 of hearts on a T65A ( 2 hearts board ) my opponent had AA...
I feel really confident in my Live game and Chris and me decided to dedicate more time in future into those tournaments. at least 5 per year is my goal.. combined with some cool trips to other towns and countries and people...
My Girl loves  that idea...and I love to see her happy.

here some pics of the party, some pokerstarspros, and me and my girl there

 FCPROSPEKT, DAWARSAW, and me

 My Girl and me before the Party

 Ok, there are good looking Pokerplayers, Ana Marquez on the Party

ELKY!!! really nice guy...and amazing player

Barcelona in itself wasnt that amazing in my opinion BESIDES the sick sick sick MARINA...guys and Ladies if you are ever there, visit that part..its amazing.

HMMMMM THIRSTY ;)

Well what comes now? Well I will definitely visit Chris in Poland as soon as I can and try to visit other grinders in europe. I am really hungry to learn again and to make alot of money. I have now pretty clear plans for the future and I know exactly how much money I need to achieve those goals, so I will prepare myself for supernova elite in 2013.

Yeah well, as some might know, I wanted to do it this year and failed miserably, but that was because I didnt prepare myself correctly...

So why should it change now?

1. I have a bigger bankroll now and alot more savings

2. I realized that the biggest problem to make sne is the VOLUME...

So I will play the volume I need to achieve per month now in my limits and if I can sustain that for 3 Months, I will definitely move up in Limits and while I play my limits I can learn better tableselection and gameselection and will rail regs ( thats the best way to learn if some of u didnt know already ). 

well sne is a big thing, and i will take it extremely serious this time.. no bankroll problems and no distractions will come between me and 130tsd dollars...

lets do this... and by now i wanna thank my girl for her support on this task...without help from people you love, its hard to achieve that...

gl guys...

long time ago i started to blog

yo everybody, hows life?
well for me alot changed since i last blogged, i moved to portugal, i am not getting backed anymore ( not that i really needed it but it was good to not ever get broke ;).

4/18/2012 7/18/2012

not the worst time ever in my life i guess ;)
i won a step 6 for 13k got second in my second 60$ 180 man sng and obv made really good money in 180s and 18 man sngs...
i played some 60-100$ 6max and 18 mans and while i lost some money in 6max, i won really consistently in 18s. i think they are really good to play, and if you tableselect them you can definitely make really constant money... my sample is really small as i just started but i realized that the 30s are the hardest games and the 60s the easiest...the 100s you definitely need to tableselect as alot of really good regs tend to play them to fill in some games while waiting for their mtts to finish. well i guess thats it for poker.... what future plans do i have in poker? well i will start a pokerhouse in Germany i think in January, i already have 1-2 people that will definitely join and eventually fcprospekt ( who is living with me in portugal since april ) will join for a month or two... will be cool and as u see in my graph its important to hang out with others in order to improve...it definitely helped me....

whats next? we will stay in portugal for another 2 months now, and then my first journey outside germany is over...
so far we had some cool people here visiting us from germany and staying here for a week each...was really cool

thats one really cool pic with chris ( fcprospekt) our girls and my brother, bad-j0hn ( a grinder from germany) really love this picture..was a cool day, we took a whole day off and went to a really nice restaurant at a beach, it took us roughly one hour through the beach side, ( with me jumping into the water a few times, to cool off my body hehe )

i flew to germany a few times to see m girl when she couldnt come here to visit me, and one time we went to a THE THRONE ( kanye west and jay z ) concert... it was amazing ..... uhhhhhhhhhh baby lots of old stuff from both singers...amazingly good...

well what else??? man i mean its so far really a cool time and i would love to repeat it, but i love my girl way too much to leave her alone for another 6 months, so i have no idea what will happen. i will def try to play ept barcelone by winning a ticket with steps and besides that i dunno guys...life is good...we found really sick beaches, i had my 3 best friends come over and visit me for one week, they drank a ton, but i had promissed my girl and basically myself to not drink at all. so i didnt do it...

here are some random pics that i love in the end, august is about to come, chris will have his brother and his girl here, i will have my girl and 2 other friends here and i guess we will make a huge trip through portugal all together, so it will be really cool, i love life right now, miss my girl, but i guess there has to be always a downside right? hahahahahaha

ok cya guy/ and ladies... good luck to you as always

 chris and me in rock in rio ( in lissabon, linkin park was off the hook !!!!! )

praia da rocha, amazing beach, amazing view...my favorite beach of europe

29 ..almost 30..really????

hey guys,

oh well now i really turned 29 years 2 days ago....wtf is it really 29 years old i first saw the light?
alot happened, i am now sitting in my house alone, without good internet ( there was a big storm last night and internet and telephone is not working ) and only with my wireless stick, and drinking a good bottle of bacardi and thinking about what will happen in future and what happened in the past...

actually after thinking really long about this the whole day, the only thing i can come up with is that i dont really care what fuckin happened, its just im portant what WILL happen from now on,
oh well and we got all that in our hands...do u guys know the song by janet jackson -
got till its gone??? its amazing, just click on the name and it will guide u to it..

why is it so good?
well, one thing i learned is that 99% of people in this world are selfish and most of them dont even know it, they really think that they want the best for everyone else, but thats not true...

make a test, take a look at some pictures, who are u searching for first? for you!!!! its always you, you are searching for.. no one else... when someone attacks you, whats the first thing you want to do? its defend yourself right? you want to correct the person, because he/she is wrong...instead of thinking about WHY is he/she doing that...they must have a reason right? i mean, why do they think that? why dont they think u are a nice person? or u do the thing right, that u disagree with??? most of the time we dont even think about it..we just think: that person attacked me and he/she is wrong...i will fix that and then he/she will like me...... fuck that, it wont work....try to understand why the person thinks that and then work from there..dont u think thats more effektive, than tryng to convince the other person...and one important question yet didnt get asked: what if the person is right about what he/she says about you???but u didnt realize it yet? dont u wanna know what kind of person u really are?

these are thoughts i had like 1 year ago and believe me it was hard for me to cope with the answers, fuck it was really hard...but what happened was that i thanked everyone for everything they said and changed the way i am..not everything but the stuff that i could change and that i had infuence on....

i love life again, i love being me...
and it only took me 27 years to get there haha, thats good i guess ....

on a sidenote...we will invite a family to portugal that has no money and no possibilities and had a really hard time in the past, to visit our house in portugal... the family has nothing more to do than step into the plaine and come here...thats it, chris and me will care for the rest...
i loved the idea from the beginning and tho some people have told me that i am a fuckin idiot for doing this, people that i love and admire (sadly), i wll do it..not to get attention, not to make people like me, not to get loved more, but to see these 3 children at the beach, something thats more valuable than anything else...
i have a son too and he has the privilege to be with me in summer also, so why not give someone else the chance to get the same..```???? it will not hurt me much but it will give them alot of happiness..at least i hope so,...


wish you all good luck out there,,, may the best time of your life be ahead of you...

First week is over/some pics

Hi everyone,
I ll make it a longer Post I think and will include some Pics also.
Ok lets start with Poker:

The First week in Portugal is over tonight, and the results have been really nice, Chris and Me are up.....wait I`ll show you

not too bad for one week I guess...
We spoke alot about Pokerconcepts and I think we understand pretty well how the other guy plays in most spots...

On the sad site of life my girl had to leave me on wednesday, last week as her work started again on Thursday, last week....
But we made a really cool trip through Algarve, I love you so much Baby, it was such an amazing time....
Can't wait to see her in 15 days as she will stay here for 3 days then. yayyyyyy

so, our trip took us to Sagres and from there we pretty much walked our way back till Portimao and spent 2 days in Lagos,,....wow guys Lagos is amazing, you def should visit it. we had planned to only stay 1 day in every city, but we loved it so much in Lagos that we stayed there for 2 days in the end....

From there we walked to Portimao, and i can tell you it was really a freaking long trip...the funny thing is that we started to take lots of pictures at the beginning and were talking alot but then after about 4 hrs later noone talked anymore and we also did not make many more pics, looking at it today, its been really funny but we were sooo pissed while walking omg ;)

In summer my girl will be here with 2 good friends and I guess we will make a bigger trip..as we will be here as 3 couples...I can not wait for this to happen ;)


so, here are some pics,  from our trip...I dont have pics from the house, but will upload them tonight..

gl and see you all soon i hope

 This is a beach in the middle of Lagos, its insanely nice, and we walked there for about 1 hr and it just didn`t end at all

 Lagos in the morning...such a nice place

 This is Sagres, the most SW Point in Europe, the weather is sick, 5 km to the east and its super sunny, and here its cloudy and raining, 

 Yes, boattrips can be cold and wet ;) Love you baby

This is an old Compass, the Portuguise used to cartograph islands and countries they found, it doesnt look big on this pic, but it was really huge, blieve me, I think somewhere around 50m 

 Thats me daydreamin at the beach, it actually was a cold day, so we had to wear a sweater, but was really a nice day...

And that is our beach...isn`t it beacutiful??

180s still treat me well...

i really apologize 180 man sngs...i totally ignored you this year, altho you still love me...so this wont happen again...i will not let you down again...

so i am up almost 3,5k in them this month alone...
and i will def do my best and focuss on them this month and hopefully hit close to 10k, so i can start portugal slowly and dont need to hit the internet too fast...

as my girl will be with me i could take things slow and chill the beach a bit and wait for fcprospekt to join at 14th of april


lets hope for the best and hyperturbos: get the fuck outta here ( for a month or so lol )


gl guys

No SNE grind for now I guess

I dont even remember if i posted anything about my supernovaelite grind in previous posts, but oh well here s a current update to everything....

lets start with live outside poker:

girl: check!!!!
happy with her: check!!!! super happy most +ev decision in the last years
we will be seeing coldplay live this year, some comedians and other guys too, last week was karneval in germany..if u don`t know what this is..basically everybody is drunk for a week straight...I love drinking but i hate carneval, but as I am in a new relationship with a girl that loves this time of the year, well guess what i did for a few days ;) haha


pokerhouse: check!!!!
everything is setup, i will arrive in portugal on 2.april with my girlfriend and fcprospekt and bad-j0hn will follow later, i really can`t wait to get there...i will miss my girlfriend but i will definitely try to see her at least 1 week every month...

its 4 bedrooms , 2 carports, a huge garden and much more, but i will post actual photos when we are there...

my son: NOT good
i won`t see him much the next few months which really sux, but it seems like he will join me in portugal in the summer time and stay there with me... I really can`t wait.. I love u baby

Poker: NOT SURE

Ok, when we look at my sharkscope graph it looks like i had a bad start into 2012...But thats sooo far away from the thruth...I dont know many people that had more success....
Most of my games are hyperturbos, and i guess we all know that they have sick variance and well, there you can see it haha

lets break it down:

Live: yes i really have played live again ;)
I ve won a 100€ rebuy in a casino near my hometown...was really funny... then there have been some nice new cashgame rounds near my house, so i decided to grind some live cash and won roughly 200 euros per session i played, which is not bad, and also I ve accepted a student for 4 weeks and coached him some cash stuff... was alot of fun, but man I am agressive
here is a cool hand i played:

We only have one blind, and it was 4€ in the game i played

I was in the blind with 7s5h...
utg raises to 26€ and 6 people call !!!!!, so i decide to call, and I check dark, meaning whatever happens i check the flop... the flop is 634 with 2 clubs...and guess what: every body checks...wtf!!!!!!!!!!?????????
ok turb is the A of spades...so its 643A with 2 flushdraws now..Pot is 182 at that stage so i bet 115€... and get 1 caller, the river bricks, and i knew he had a flushdraw or straight draw, so i check..and he annoyingly checks behind

and everybody goes crazy and asks how i can call with  75off...even after explaining that i had sick odds 2 players decided to leave the table...because 4 hands or so earlier i called a shove of 89€ in a pot of 200€ with 43o on the turn and the board was 7542 with 2 spades...

he flopped a set of 2 and i rivered a straight...gg dude haha

back to online poker

non-turbos: wtf is that haha
turbos: I still crush 180s and after putting in so much time into studying headsup and 6 max hypers they are even easier, i see alot more spots to crush these fools ;)
hyperturbos: YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
headsups: i am down like 10 buyins i think, so nothing too bad happened
6max sats: i wanted to get supernovaelite this year so i studied the hyper 6max satelites and so far i ve played 10700 games and run at 1,2% roi, which is really good
i started to search for someone to back me into higher buyins 37,07-74$ but didnt find anyone, annoyingly as now i will have to grind my roll up as fast as i can ...i have max 2 month of time to make roughly 15k...cmon pokerstars...
6 max cash hyperturbos:
i am currently playing these as they are alot easier then the sats, but not in terms of beating the game or the quality of players, but because u need a lower bankroll in 6 max cash hyperturbos...
so my plan for now is to grind my 3k bankroll up to around 10k as fast as possible so that i can grind the 30$ hyperturbo 6 max and some 100$ 6 max hyperturbos...will be a sick grind but well worth,....

On a sidenote: i really can not believe that i didn't find a backer because everybody thinks that its not possible to get sne that way and everybody is afraid ...
i offered a 50/50 deal....i would snap call that offer if i saw someone like me and i had the money..

but now lets take that shit serious and then we ll all be happy...

thats about it guys, wish you all the best

Pedro

finally up again

ok finally I am up from my last highest point...

I managed to get in some cool sessions working on sngwiz and reviewing and discussing hands with a friend, and those really opened my eyes on how to destroy hyperturbo 6 max sngs.

as u can see I ve had some loosing stretches in the last 2,5 weeks, in 180 man sngs... But after working so hard on my 6 max hyper game I am confident that i can reach higher goals and so right now I aim to get Supernovaelite...the package alone is worth around 100 tsd dollars...

in order to reach it I will need to play 1625 sngs er day in the limits I currently play. It is definitely doable, but will be really hard if I dont move up..so my plan for now is to search for someone to stake me for 74$ hyperturbosatelites...I can definitely beat everybody I ve seen so far...If I dont manage to get a staker I will play on my own roll, but then the first 2 or 3 month will be insanely hard....i really need to get 200k vps asap to get 8000$ in rakeback and 2600$ in milestones...holy lord, give me the strenght to get there...
I will talk about my exact plans on my sne chase in the next blog post...


Besides that, my plans on moving to portugal now are set in stone...I will ay the rent for the first month within the next few days..and let the journey begin ladies ;)

i will be living there with fcprospekt and bad-j0hn and i really hope that we will have some guys visiting us so that we will all profit from that and have a good time...

today is valentines day, so I cant wait to spend the day with my girl and enjoy a wonderful time with her...

I wish ya'll gl at the tables, and avoid me if u love your bankroll ;)

the road to success is LOOOOONNNGGGGGG

lots of people search for success and search for the easy way to get there, while the reality over and over shows us that the road to success is long and not easy to pass, BUT

at the end of this long and hard road there is success waiting for us...

it will be hard to get there, we will be hit numerous times, we will fail over and over again, we will DOUBT ourselves and our powers all the time. 

So we need to decide if we want to search for success before we take the road, because if we dont want to take the hits, the pain, the hard time, then we should not start and stay in our comfortzone.

Start and go on strong or stay and rest....

There is no MID-WAY....the MID-WAY is PAIN...

and another thing to understand:

there is an easy way out of that road backwards, but there is no easy way out forwards.....

what that means is: its always easy to give up while at the road to success and get back to our comfort zone, but there is no easy way forward to success, you have to take every single hit and all the pain that life has ready for you.

gl on your decision....and choose wisely or you will not only hurt yourself but also people around you if you dont stand behind your decision....

Is that all you ve got????????

Today I played some 45 men sngs on pokerstars and the same shit happened, that is happening the last 5 days... I am loosing overpair to underpair over and over and over again....

After loosing 40 buyins again in stupid 3,50 and 7$ 45 men i stopped playing and decided to review my handhistories to search for mistakes i am making....

then i took holdem manager and looked at my AA-TT and AK hands that went to showdown...and guess what.. I lost 78% with aces that went to showdown for 5 full days.. I lost 59% of KK that went to showdown
QQ-TT i didnt play much since i saw lots of 4 way allins before me.. in 15$ 180 man sngs....what a joke!!!!!


now, normally lots of people are like: fuck this, its so rigged and blablabla....

But the one thing came to my mind was:


I fucking played AWESOME....For me to loose it takes Pokerstars to let me fuckin loose every single coinflip....it takes people to shove 30 bigblinds in a blindbattle with 44 and hit quads against my aces for me to loose money.....


THATS what it takes to make me a loosing player????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Then lets fucking GO ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCKIN unbelieveable

yeah i admit now. i am on the sickest tilt ever..what the fuck is goin on here?

this is the 6th finaltable today that this happens...are u kiddn me?

I just checked my HEM and I ve lost AA and KK 11/14 times near the money or in the money.. and 2 of the times i won, was because i raised and everybody folded..........

WTF...great times... took me 4 days to tilt me like that....but yes pokerstars u finally got me tilting...600 games and numerous suckouts and no deep finish ever and here i am.....


Tomorrow is a new day....
