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...
