Hi everybody

i have so much university tests that i am not allowed to fuck up
that i will not play poker till beginning of februry

I got an ugly session on Nl50 today and lost -150$
biggest loser was AA vs J9 on 892 rainbow board flop all in ... of course river came a 9 and he took the 130$ pot -....
such things just affect my mood way too much in the university exam periods.
I also noticed yesterday that i just cant stop playing poker and then fully concentrate on learning university stuff ...
i stop poker session grab some books , sit down and start a learn "session" but all my mind is just like interrupting me and automatically switching to thinking about poker stuff all the time like every 5 minutes


so i end the january with kinda lousy stats

~ + 350$ ( thx to - 150 today)
13 K hands

cya again in feburary

Today was an interesting day for me pokerwise
I had some taff hands and a nice session.

I lost quite some heavy pots today and also did 2-3 really bad plays
besides that i played concentrated and good imo.

I am satisfied with how i do the thought process stuff and how i play lately and i guess i am ready for the next stepp. ( Nl50)
I will mainly play Nl25 a bit longer though since university exams are comming up now and i dont wanna make my learning motivation suffer from a possible NL50 Downswing.

you know it can affect your mood greatly when taking a shot at a new limit and then experiencing a DS.

here are some of the hands from today :

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356469 <--- i played this subotimal i guess but i put him on a 6 and therefore gave action on flop.Turn was the curcial point.. Since i have the higher 2 pairs i tried to get maximum value out of the hand ... went quite wrong.
Thing was this turn will put me behind vs higher pockets and given the flop action thats not too unlikley.

Dusty said this is a very very bad turn ...

I am not 100% sure if it is bad turn for other reason than the possibilty of 77 or 88 killing me here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356476 <- biggest pot i lost today
I am preflop agressor and hit a pretty good hand on the flop -> FD + Gutshot + Overcard . I bet and get a small reraise that i call
since i have many outs. Turn gives me a J which leads to having FD + Gutshot + maybe trips and 2 pair outs ... quite a good hand and so i called his small raise positive one of my outs will hit -> maybe pushing here was an option
River was kinda hard ... but i guess i cant fold here ... especially given the action on the table in eariler hands ...

like in this hands ( which was a few hands later but still shows the atmosphere on the table kinda)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356481

There is also an award for the worst play of the day ending in a nice cooler
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356690 <--- this was just plain stupid ...
I was putting him on AK after the flop action and i called turn since i ve seen 88 sucking out vs AK like 100% on pokerstars in the last days...
I was laughing my ass of in river only to get beaten in the face ^^ i deserved it.

Yeha i know this sounds stupid but i ve seen AK getting rived by 88 like 5/5 times the last days.
SO i took a gamble ^^

then there was also a guy called eddie2001.
he played insanely bad ... but always got the nutz vs me ...
first 3 hands when i sat down at the table he gave me action like there is no tmorrow and i folded overpairs on turn push and stuff.
Then i thought i must take a stand .. he cant have nutz always !
I was wrong since he always had the nutz the whole session the whole time i played vs him.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356696 <--- after he gave me heavy action 3 hands in a row and forced me off good hands i decided to take a stand and see a showdown
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356491 <--- yeha ...

i donated like 40$ to him this session.
Sad thing he played so bad ... the whole time ...

besides that beats i managed to crush the tables most of the time and still made a nice profit overall




So here we go for January graph update




okay this is probably boring to most >_<

so here is a nice pic to make up for

Today my mom came in my room and
said she knows someone who could give me a nice part time job to earn some money ...

AD : I dondt need a job i have enough money
mom : oh nice from what do u have money ... did u get a part time job yet ?
AD : i play pokerzzzzzz
mom : wtf i hope u arent serious ....
AD : I make enough that i dondt need a 6$ / h shitty part time job ... for the modest lifestyle i have.
mom : i hate this !!! cardgames is form the devil ! thats not honest money ... I hope u lose it all that u must stop poker
AD : well how about being happy for me that i make moeny with something i am good at and thats fun for me ?
mom : U dont understand ... poker is cardgame of the devil ! I really hate the fact that you are doing it ...
AD : Well i guess i wont talk to you about that topic anymore .... just has no sense ...

Dad comes in few hours later :

How about that jop ? did u take it ?
AD : no ... look at my pokergraph from january ... i dont need a part time job ... i make enough to pay for my simple and modest life style of a university student
dad : well i see u made 411$ the last 8 days , looks nice ...
but even though i have to warn u that poker is sooo risky !
AD : have u ever played it ?
Dad : Ofc ... i played card games for money when i was young and i also played poker
AD : u played Texas Holdem and made money with it ? Sry to be that harsh but from what i saw your poker skillz cant even beat Nl 10
on the iNternetz .. i d be really surprised u have a Texas Holdem background ... U dont even know the basics from what i got when we talked about poker in the past and when u once obsed a session from me and were mega impressed by my thought process
Dad : No , we played 5 card Poker ... thats not the same as NL Holdem ... but its still Poker !

AD : T_T >_< oh i see

...
..
..
.

nevertheless here is my updated January graph :



I really dont see why i should work my ass off in a shitty part time job ... for 400€ a month
when i can make like 750€ month from Poker while having fun at the same time ...

I just played a short session today since University exams are not far away anymore ... ( start next week on Monday)
So i ll only play a small bit of poker like 1h a day during the weeks and like 5h on saturday.

My short session today was some of the worst play i ever managed to pull off.
I dont know what was wrong with me ...
maybe its that i had to stand up early at 9am for university ^^
I am used to wake up at 1.30pm since i am lazy as fuck.

So i played like on drugs and dont even know why
I had the inner urge to just play the gayest poker available on the market.
may play made so totally no sense today .

i limped like 24% of my hands preflop no matter if it was AJs or 37o and then went wild on flops and turns without hitting just to see how people react on such stuff.
I felt totally stupid while doing this and it probably was major - EV

here are my preflop stats



flop play



turn and river play



Then i managed to concentrate for a minute
and played actually decent ABC ----> lee hates that and i got 6 bad beats in 100 hands ...
went from +24 to - 40$ while playing decent.

Then

I started to play
"Neapel Poker" again and sucket out pretty nicely ..

ended the session + 20$ 700 hands 6BB/100

>_<


poker is crazy sometimes.


GL Neapel (Napoli the city in italy)
dealing with your waste problems.
I guess its really a nightmare to live there atm.

in case u havent noticed just google some recent Napoli news.


and special love to
Bongky who read all the wired shit when i gave him a live report of my retarded poker session through msn >-<

Today i run bad and also played bad some hands

The saying : When u lose money its almost always a combination of runing bad an playing bad is soo true
U will realize this when u get better and actually notice ure mistakes.

First i thought like i played very good but just had bad insane bad luck
but after i cooled down and analyized hands i realized there were a bunch of hands i played very suboptimal.

nevertheless here is the graph ...
I had around 15-20 coolers/bad beats today including a few set over sets .. and funny river bad beats where i was ahead 90% when the moeny got in.

I am not sad about that though
Its part of the game and there are simply days where u run like total shit ...
just normal

SHIP !

Der ab dem 01.01.2008 geltende neue Lotterie-Staatsvertrag sieht in der Tat ein Verbot des Glücksspiels über das Internet vor. Allerdings ist eine Übergangsfrist bis zum 31.12.2008 vorgesehen, in der ein Mitspiel über das Internet weiterhin möglich sein wird. Zusätzlich kollidieren Teile des neuen Lotterie-Staatsvertrages mit verschiedenen kartell-, wettbewerbs- und europarechtlichen Vorschriften, so dass es höchst fraglich ist, ob der neue Lotterie-Staatsvertrag in der vorliegenden Form am Ende des Jahres 2008 überhaupt noch Geltung findet.

officiall statement from the tip24.de customer service

I try to translate.

In fact the new laws from 1.1.2008 concerning the Lotterie-Staatsvertrag do ban online gambling.
However there is a transition period till 31.12.2008 in which taking part in online gambling is still possible.

In addition to that law does not conform with all kinds of EU regulations which leads to the assumption that it is highly unlikely
This law will still be effective at the end of 2008 when the transition period is over.






besides that
summary of my last sessions



As u can see i am doing fine

2007 was a constant up and down in life >_<
It simply happend too much things to mention them but it really was a rollercoaster concering almost all important things in Life.
University , Girls , Money , Health , Sport success , Friends

Pokerwise there was no difference.
I learned a lot though.

I started poker in November 2006 after a RL friend with whom i study at University told me he s a poker maniac.
I dl a Programm ( maybe it was World series of Poker championship or whatever) where u could play Tournaments vs Esfandiari
and some others.

I learned the basic rules and then started to play Limit 0.10/0.20 cent on Party poker with the Pokerstrategy bonus.
I cleared it in till january and i made + 200$ ( bonus of 150$ included ^^)

Then i made a big mistake ( or lets call it bad choice)
I read about SNGS in the stupid Pokerstrategy forums all the time ...
Everybody was like : SNGS are the NUTZ -> easy money full of fish and bla bla
everbody at Pokerstrategy forums seemed to be a longterm winner at SNGS and claimed that it is totally superior to cashgame.

I started to play my first SNGS ... and i got addicted to that shit T_T
I wasted Februar to August playing mainly sngs .... and Mtts at different sites like Party,FullTilt , EverestPoker and Pokerstars ...
I didnt make any mentionable profits ...
I just run bad forever and SNGS are almost completely luck dependend anyways ...
Unfortunately I needed a fucking long time to understand this

September i finally returned to cashgame and destroyed Nl 10
I moved up to Nl25 and run pretty decend and played kinda okay ...
I finished the month with + 251 $ on Nl25 in about 20 K hands.
I was close to Nl50 bankroll overall but then i hit an ugly Downswing on Nl25 just before i moved up to Nl50
-> and started to mega Tilt

image is what i "tilted" away in like 4 days ...
not that i spew preflop ... i Justed played AA KK QQ etc till the river no matter the board...



my bankroll was like 400$ after that shit
I donked another 250$ away at Hu SNGS on Party and Stars ....

And transferred the remaining final 150$ to Ipoker on 16th October to play Nl10
Again i destroyed Nl10 pretty easily and just after a few days i was back at Nl20
I destoryed Nl20 for the first 2 weeks and i was looking forward to NL50 again in like mid November
Then same thing that happend on Party ... i got a brutal Downswing just before reaching NL50 and lost like 300$ in just a week playing Nl20 -> then megatilt and i lost the rest but 11$ on 30$ and 50$ HU sngs ^^

Yeha Tilt control ...

Good thing is i got known to Bongky <3 at this time ( we both played Nl20 and sat at the same table one time) and we talk alot about poker and Life on MSN and i think it really helps to know someone you could talk about all that poker stuff and who is in kinda a similar situation than u .(Limits he plays pokerwise i mean)
It keeps u motivated and more focused.

I also got known to Deadman <3 whom i respect a lot.
I think he has some good potential since he has the things besides the pure card game skill that many others lack ( Iron discipline and willpower)

I was to quit Poker at that time beginning of september and just play a view HU sngs ( 1$) and Nl10 cashgame for fun.
this was beginning of December 2007
didnt go too well since i quickly started to play SNGS again and lost all ...
last 11$ i lost to bongky HU in flips

Then i had a long process of thinking about my goals in Life and shit ...
I deposited 150$ on Pokerstars in mid december13th and started to play Nl10 again.

Only difference this time = I banned myself from SNGS lifetime ! ( tournemants and FPPs are allowed but no money involved SNGS)
I started to grind out Nl10 and talked a lot to bongky on msn.
As always i destroyed Nl10 again ....
Now i am here with 403$ and ready to play Nl25 ( moving down as soon as i lose 2 buy ins )

Havent touched any SNGS yet and i am pretty sure never do again in my life. Havent visited the stupid Pokerstrategy site either

Well as u can see 2007 was pretty marginal Pokerwise for me.
But i am confident for 2008.

And i still feel i learned a lot and my life profits greatly from Poker ...
I have so many friends working their ass of in shitty part time jobs besides university for 400€ / month ...

Even though i fucked 2007 pretty much up pokerwise
Its still one of the best things that could have happend to my life
