Seems like alot of people are trying to adjust to my strategies, but dont adjust to my adjustments to them, thats sooo funny...everytime i get rejamt by KT and snap call them with a2, KJ or whatever, and then they berate me in chat for being an idiot for calling them with KJ for 14bbs near a finaltable...just because they just realized that I totally owned them hahaha..I love poker....

Besides that there is not much new that happened in my life...

I am really happy about my new girl and my relationship to her is awesome ( i dont know a better word lol ;)

She actually encouraged me to get a nice house in Portugal for a while and we spoke about ways to see eachother while I am away from Germany, and we figured that the best way would be for me to visit her every two weeks for 2-3 days and/or her visiting me...whatever works best and whatever is cheapest...

So yeah, pretty much everyhing is going great and I try hard to get it going that way for a long time...winning 3k in 5 days definitely helps ;) hehe

yo guys good luck to all of ya

finally some rungood

Ok well, took me 8 days to get into the black and another 2 days to get to 1$/game in winnings...
damn what a stressfull time lol
not serious ofc.....

as i ve read in a post from quadchrasz the 18s are really sick to play, extremely reg infested and hard between 15$-30$....
I ve lost most of my money there, thos i don`t think i played bad by any means..but just too many regs,...almost every second bubble was against 4 other regs....edges are kinda small there as you can imagine.

well lets hope my results keep being good for the rest of january, not much more you can do, than playing as good as you can and focuss on winning, not on the money you have lost....

On the other hand it seems like i will be going to Canada in March now, to visit Bubbleoutcas, who is an amazing player, and as far as I´ve experienced a super nice person. can´t wait to get there....

Canada I am on my way ;)

Yesterday my dad send me a pic of my son when he sits infront of the computer and maaaaaannnn he looks like his dad hahahahahaha, way too funny.... I ll add one pic of me next time

the right one..hahahahahahahahaha... I love you
Oh and you might think he just saw something impressive in the Computer, but NO, he looks like that all the time HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Run bad in 2012

Wow, i really don't know what the hell is going on in 2012....
I ve started the year refreshed and ready to takeoff..i played around 900 games so far, only 14 tabeling, so I´ve put in alot of hours so far...BUT Pokerstars decided to fuckin kill my bankroll and cut it into half....
I ve just finished reviewing some of my handhistories of the day, and I am pretty sure I´ve played absolutely awesome... But again I don´t seem to hold with KK at all....
And I ve had AA only twice in lategame out of 160 sngs today !!!!!! and I´ve lost both..one against a7 where he rivered a straight and the other where he flopped a straight with 53....

These are the times where you need to review your gamews, stay calm and go on....There is nothing I can do against variance , and also to be honest I don´t want it to be any different, I want these swings to happen, so that the upswings can be huge also...
it really sux to loose 50% of your bankroll in 5 days, meaning 1300$ avg buyin 13$..but well, there is nothing you can do besides continue strong and give your best...
there are things in life that u just need to outlast. and this time is my time to outlast this shit....its not even the worst downswing I´ve had in 18 man sngs...I´ve once lost 140 buyins, and right now I am at roughly 70 buyins downswing....
Well for now I´ll go to bed, rest a bit and start again tomorrow at my grindstation..and hopefully Pokerstars turns the doomswitch off and I can start to make some money again....
Don´t ever give up guys...just keep going and play awesome...


Here is a hand I played today...this is the exact bubble and I had to fold Jacks as the button decided to call the shove, so I was pretty sure that I have to fold my Jacks...
and it turns out that both guys had AT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf.... how can u call on the bubble with AT there
The best part of it is that both hit an ace and I would´ve lost anyway...the next SB I jammed AT into the bb and he snap called AK..gg me..another bubble for me....
Man worse days to come in my life I guess

have fun in 2012, lets hope the best... cya

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
