1k up session

After 2-3 days not playing my best game and get in important spots unlucky i became a nice upswing today.Played this week very less games and run far behind the goal i set for this week but my winnings this week are still nice :}

602 Sngs with a return from 25% and= 1425$ up since Monday.

Happy about this session but unhappy with my motivation,is pretty hard to wake up in time and get your arse to work if you dont have a somebody who shout at you when you come to late.I will try my best to grind this weekend a lot i also plan to play little cash games this weekend because of the 60th Billion Hand promotion on Pokerstars.Think it will be very profitable to play cash because there will be a lot of bad players sitting around.Attracted from the promotion.Maybe i can get a peace of the cake :}
I also will not have a lot of time to play next week,because i get some good friends from India coming.Also my Birthday Party on the 30.March will take some of my time for preparation.Than i plan two trips next month to one of the islands here and a trip to Chiang Mai in the middle of April.
Will be good for me to charge my battery new and meet new people,i also want to see more from this beautiful country.

Enough talk i wish you all the best,nice weekend to all!
Cheers Heiko

I dont hate mondays anymore !!!

After a ugly 1 k downswing last week i decided to take a break on Saturday evening and Sunday too.My brain was definitely overloaded from all the games i played in that week very much  so i really needed to switch off.Today it paid off again with a fresh mind i done 161 games and i was close to 1k up.Nice start, after a nice Thai massage i was  relaxed and ready for my last third session.Started opening tables but i lost the connection.There some problems two weeks now and they try to fix that. A mechanic is already at work,so i play one table with my stick.Will watch a movie later with my girl.And maybe i mix me some drinks.
Cheers :}

It goes in the wrong direction :}

It is always the same with me,i had a absolutely great up[swing this week.But last night i went down 700$.There is still nothing to complain on it because I'm still close to 1,5k up this week.I'm only a little bit angry with myself,yesterday my game was far away from the good A game i played before.I done some really bad mistakes and i really was not focused.Should stop that session last night earlier than it will safe me some money.I done to many misclicks,played to many tables and also shot ed some of the higher games.
I got some bad luck and i was getting suck outed in important spots but on the other days i was very lucky so i will not complain.I will play one good session now,not focused on the winnings or sample size only on the right decision's.Than i take the afternoon and night time off.A friend is giving a laving party and i don't want to miss that,looks like that i have to wait a bit longer to get my coffee machine :}

Grinding for some coffee!!!

Yesterday after my morning session i went out to get some food,was really not so motivated to play in the evening again so i decided to hang around in the bars.Talking with people and getting drunk is a think i'm really good at ;] The only problem is that i had a small hangover in the morning and i also woke up late.I need really some more longtime motivation,something to think about when i play so much poker.The thing is i that i already paid ll my bills for the month and i got enough money again to relax a bit.But that is really not a good thinking.
To motivate myself more i need to visualise for what i really work at the moment.
So i done a small list with things that i will get,some really cool luxury stuff ;'}
1.The next 500$ i do will go direct in this coffee machine i saw today.Got a similar one before in Germany.To start the day with a strong and tasty cup of coffee or espresso shot will keep my mind and mood happy ;]

2.Need to think about some other goals to keep me busy and motivated,will start my evening session soon.

I still run good

Reached over 500 Sngs this week already and i hit a beautiful upswing from 2040$.Soon i will give the 27$ 45players and 33$ 180 players some shots.Is pretty hard to get a sample size from 1500 games per week but i will not rest now only because of this good days.That was my mistake last year i didn't worked enough and i wasted to much money with fooling around :}
Will get some sleep now and than i will start with a fresh and clear mind in the morning again.
Cheers everybody
Heiko

Awesome start

it was the right decision to mix the 180 man together with the 45player,my win rate explodes last night and in this morning session.Played so far 333sngs till Monday and I'm already 1040$ up.Done some shopping and prepare the barbecue now.Soon my friends are coming and i can relax the rest of this day with my good start in my mind :}

New goals for this week and barbecue for my mates :}

I'm still very motivated so i will set some new goals for this week.I will play from Monday to Sunday 1500Sngs mixed 45 and 180 mans.My first session today was ok at the end i booked a nice profit from 350$ after 200 games.Watched a Theory video and will get some rest now.My night session will be long i also will mix some mtts in.Tomorrow i can play not so much,3 of my friends are already invited, we will have a nice barbecue and for sure some beers ;}

45 man challenge results

First at all it was fun again to play those games,i played them long time ago and i really forgot how much fun they can be.Now i will carry on playing this games for a while maybe mixed with the 180mans.
In played 1283 mixed 45mans this week.With a roi from 14% and 937 $ also it gave me 17k fpp which i can use for some qualifier or Cashbonis.

On the 6.5$ i played 585 games with a roi from 14% and 536$ winnings.
M0rti is on place 2 he got the same roi than hes brother Hannesjoes exactly 13%.The only difference was that M0rti played 201 games and Hannes got only 135 games.I know he was busy this week so i don't mind if he needs some extra time to finish this games.He still can beat me.
Is up to you Hannes if you want to try it than send me a mail.
If not i will be declared as the winner :}
Hope you guys got all a good start in the new  week.
Cheers Heiko

Bloody roller coaster

Started my first session of the day really bad ,it was going straight down.After 70 games my luck changed again and i got a really nice up.After i was up 100$ something really bad happened,my net was gone and i was with some tables close in the money.The blinds big like hell,so i done my quick call and told them in the Lobby to restart quick the inet.She was really cool:yes sire i know no inet we stoped electric because want to repair something.WHAT THE FUCK!!!!IN my mind there was the really worst words i cant repeat them here but i really was pissed.So i called up the boss,he is German and a really nice guy.He was angry too because the fools know i work in the fu..... Internet.So after close to 10 minutes my inet was back(my second inet didn't work too god knows why)I lost 12 tables and on the most other tables i had 1-3 big blinds.But than i was getting very lucky and i won actually a small amount of money.
The best joke was that i won a Sng,was Allin with 87 chips and than i shipped it at the end.

About the challenge 4.40$ please everybody send 4.40$ to potiss... from Greek he had the best roi after 100 games.Thanks for that it was fun to play against you guys.

Poker mindset

The last days i grinded not so bad,i went to bed and i was thinking a lot about things i can do better.Because i feel that I'm far away from my optimum A game.In the morning i woke up early and i talked to my good poker mate Volkan per skype.He is a long time pro now and he helped me a lot in my past to get also a pro.The psychology in poker is a really important part.Is not only the right strategy and all the other skills that a player need.From our opinion is the mindset and the anti tilt one of the most important skills that a player need to make long term a good profit. So after talking with volkan spended some time to think about my realistic goals,and the things i can change and do better in the future.The brain is the biggest and best computer in this world,OK for sure not my brain :} but i will start getting more information about the mindset.There are a lot of books special for poker player and also there are some good videos to make me understand what is going on.After i understand that all it will be more easy to get my emotions on the poker tables better under control and i can play longer and more profitable at all.
Some of my goals i set is to increase my maximum of tables.I can play 20 constantly with a game(if i don't got a hangover) but i will go up to 25-40 slowly step by step if possible.

One if my main problems is that i really got a mental problem to climb up in the limits again.For sure i got the skill but in Goa i experienced a very tough time in my poker career.That i was close to get broke.Thanks to all the power cuts and Internet issues.I was loosing permanently money in each single session.My nightmare was really that i need to get a job again,thanks to Thailand that i started a good comeback last year.Now i need to get myself together and start new and serious.

If i can handle all this sngs i will grind 1500games per week with two day off.
I also need to think about a new poker setup,which makes me feel more comfortable so i can relax better.
if somebody got some good ideas please let me know.
Cheers Heiko

Morning session

Morning session went ok and i was after 190 games 130$ up,was more up but a bad down hits me.  Played 669 games now in 4 sessions since monday,i will try to increase my volume and play 300 sngs each day.At the moment i do per sngs over 1$ average winnings without the rakeback.Is really interesting and i will keep grinding.

45man challenge

It is a long time ago for me that i played the 45 man sngs.I was looking forward to this challenge and i love to say that i run good at this time.i played in 2 days already 6.50$ 155 games with a roi from 22%.But that's not all,the last 36 hours i mixed 3 different limits.So i put a good volume from 360 games with a roi from 23% and 512$ winnings.Also i do a lot off fpps which gives me extra motivation to carry on with this games for a while.I hope i can hold this a game for a while.My motivation is big,so i woke up in the morning time and played in 10 hours 224 games which is a kind of record for me.Now i had a good rest and i will start my second session soon after doing some exercises.
At the beginning of the month i said i plan to play 2000games this month.I think with this kind of games i can easy play 200sngs per day.The problem is only can i still motivate me to grind when i run bad again?So i really try to think positive and i will not think about short time results.The focus is now to get much more volume in the games than the money should come sooner or later.

Incredible Sunday Million

Today i had a nice afternoon session and after a couple of games i was 250$ up,but why it feel so wrong today?Maybe because i watched the Final table with the second biggest online poker prize pool ever.The first guy who left was getting a nice pocket money from 263k $$$$$.Hes name is Battmaster and he is a regular in the games i play.For sure i don't see him so quick on the tables again :}

After the players reached the final table they took a break and shared the money in a fair deal.Only the Lambo was now in the price-pool and i was happy that on of the  skilled player took the price.
Funny was that a Netherlands guy didn't agreed as the only one to share the price pool he was getting 518k$ but he was really asking for more.The others checked him and he is actually really a nobody :}. So at the end he agreed and also the moderator told him that he can buy with this money for sure some funny stuff in Holland :}
Was fun to see this final table,for sure it changed the life of all this guys.
And for sure they also be not scared after 16 hours of playing to come to late to there job :}
Congrats to all of you Cheers Heiko

A really funny fantastic day off ;}

Hi guys yesterday i had my day off and really i had such a good time.I meet 2 very good guys from London.Mickey a close an good friend who had hes leaving party.and Paul  a full blood entertainer.Who made us laugh all night and day.
First we went to the Royal Garden plaza on the Beach Road.There in the third floor we relaxed in the German Paulaner Beer Garden.We enjoyed the sea view and some German very tasty Beers.God i really miss good Beer like this.After that we hooked up with some of my Thai friends,they invited us for food and we enjoyed some whiskey drinks.
I forgot to tell that Paul and Mickey went first in a haunted house which i visited a couple of weeks before.Is really scary fun,some human artist a waiting inside.They attack with chainsaws and on every corner a next surprise is waiting.Definitely a must to do on your list if you want to have a fun day.Mick and Paul went a bit crazy in this house and one of the Thais told them in Russian to leave now :}(not so a good idea to shut one of the graves and looked up a scary artist.He was imprisoned and more scared than my boys :}
At the end we went to a Bar close to the walking street,there we ordered another bottle of Whiskey, we met some other crazy fun guys.One joke was better than the other and it was getting very late.The next stop was the candy shop on the walking street,a really beautiful hip hop Bar with lots of tasty good looking girls.A shame that my foot was getting very big again and i also felt pain.So i gave up and went home,for sure i will see this guys soon again.
Here you find some info's about the candy shop http://www.candyshoppattaya.com/
Next page i will writhe about the new poker challenge i have with some guys.
Cheers heiko
