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 ;)
