New month goals

The last couple of days i played the 30$and 60$ single table Sngs.I got only a small Sample Size there and i run in some bad setups,but after i done many notes and saw a lot of loosing players im sure i can beat this games.My bankroll can take the swings and i will play at the beginning very careful with only 8 tables max.On the weekends i will focus on medium and a few High Limit Mtts like the Sunday Million.
With less Volume but better quality and focus on the tables i should get some results.
Poker is not the only thing i will focus this month,i just registered for some private lessons in the Thai Language.I booked 30 hours for the first month and if i can get some results there i will have some more hours.Im already close to 2 years in that country and i got some Thai friends but most of them are suck in English.There is so much will  free time so i better do something useful again.And it might opens the door to closer and better relations to the Thai people.

I done a big mistake after i won this month i send some money to Full Tilt Poker to split the bankroll and get for the weekends some mtts from this site in my program.Yesterday they lost there licence and it is not possible to connect to the server.Si i get that strange  bad feeling the money will be lost too.
Pokerstars looks still safe to me but we never know what happends in the future.

I need a plan

After this Saturday and 3 days of drinking i feel very sick today ;}
But i realise more and more that the mass grinding the last weeks and month is not really that what works out for me.I think it will be the best to play with less tables and less hours per week but with higher quality.I will check out what games i will play,for sure on the weekends i will stick to the Tournaments.
I will also try to study again a bit,this month i will give the 9man Single Table Sngs a shot again.With good table selection the medium limits are still beatable.
Also a mix session between 45 and 180 player Sngs in all different limits will be for sure profitable but it brings again big variance and i was running in this games to long to bed.

Besides of poker i was thinking to study a new language,Thai can be the key to get closer relations to the people here but the problem is that this language only helps me in this country.
Spanish makes a lot of more sense and it is also a beautiful language.
I will think about this too before i make a decision.
thanks for reading this guys.

Saturday result

I will try  to describe my feelings which i had today,i checked my graph from the year and i done before 2 days a big check in Pokertracker togeter with a good friend.He showed me everything about Allin luck and stuff.
Well i was running so unlucky and it gave me again a little more confidence.
It is not always the feeling that you have to pay bills,also when you run bad.Oh my god i choose this job and i got the advance that i only have to take care myself.Of course i will get in exchange no help too but to be honest i will be also to proud to take it.I never asked for a staking or when somebody won something i rang him and was extra nice to him.

Lets face the truth i was this time after running so long so bad not really prepared to keep my lifestyle up.And god knows i had nightmares to come back to germany only that a student who never worked in his life will tell me how to do the Job.A kid spoiled all hes life from mum and dad,and when he once stays on hes own toes he will just fuck up hes life more than my gay neighbour done it when he falls in love :}

This time guys i didn't joke and i was more down that you all will imagine and when you know me and read that blog you also will know i just recovered from India.
The biggest joke was this time that people which i know from poker,and yes they are skilled too done some jokes because i only get small money out of it.
Guys believe me,with a small bankroll and my history you all will just run back to mama or ask daddy for some help.
Whatever today i proofed when i play focused and when i get also my luck again it will be not easy to beat me.
I done not only one Final table,no it was two tonight and i also cashed close to every single one ;}
And now before i go to sleep i just show you my last game ....

Mtt Plan

Yesterday i had a good Sngs session and i will invest all this winnings for sure in a lot of mtts tonight.Done already my plan which games i will play and i think it will be between 15-20 tournaments.If i got to many mtts open i will not register to micro or low limit tournaments than i only play the medium limits.I canceled out of my plan the 2 new games like the 6 max 22$ and the 3.30$ 30Gtd micro limit game.Both price pool are nice but the games start up to early and i will when i get in one of the other games deep to be tired already because the session will be to long.
I start up my program tonight with the new 27$ elimination Mtt which starts at 9 o'clock in the Thai evening time.The last one i will register is the 100K Guaranteed Vip Freeroll which starts already late at 2 o'clock nigh time.I'm a little sad about the new 33$ Turbo this one starts up in the morning time 6 am and i will only play it when i got a couple of mtts deep left.

I also went after breakfast to the pharmacy to get something because i always feel at the moment to often to tired and that will be not a big help when i play a long session.I'm to much used to coffee and after 3-4 cups at day its impossible to drink more.So i asked in the pharmacy and she was really not a big help.She offered me vitamins but i take them already daily.So if i get tired in the night i need to go back to my old strategy which worked out in the last year very well.I just open a Bottle of whiskey.I dont know why but this drink works better than anything else for me,last year i felt once in the night time tired so i drunk a little over a bottle and shipt the 5.50$ 40Gtd rebuy with a winning from 7560$.So why not stick to that good old strategy.I think i will spoil myself a little bit with good quality and i saved up 33dollar because i dont play the Turbo tournament in the morning.This amount is exactly a Black Label my favourite Whiskey :}

If i dont come back to the tables after the 5 minute breaks maybe i got the same problem than this guy!

Saturday mtts action

Im really looking forward to play this Saturday a very long tournament session,we got a new schedule with some new Games and they start very early It makes it also much sweater that you get if you dont cash in any of this games the buyin back to try it next week again.
Also it is the last Saturday of the month and we all get a 100k freeroll.So it will be a very long session and i better get some good Snacks and enough coffee ready.
Nice change to all this Sngs i played this month and for sure there will be a lot more players because of this promotion from Stars.
Good luck to everybody if you give the games a shot.

up and downs

 (7$ 45 player )

(3.50$ 45player)









Got a very nice upswing on the 3.50$ 45player, i was running to good on this limit.But the bad news was always when i took the 7$ games in i was getting all my bad luck and setups in this higher limit.so i got a 100 Buyin downswing there. I really like to play the 45 player games because when i mix different limits i can easy multi table 20-25 comfortable.This year i beated the 6.50$ dollar games very well which is now replaced and the new buyin level is 7$.Im little sad that i started so badly and i was not sure is it a normal downswing or did i forgot to play poker :}
Well i googled the 45 man Sit and goes and find in a forum something about downswings.
Pretend you are a 20 tabler you will have plenty of 30 bi downs.Better we call it variance because im used to loosing 30 buyins.Most of the time i dont feel it because i try to keep up 20 tables and with all the new Tables i dont feel this looses.if it get to 50 bi than we talk about running bad.
75-100 buyins now that is a downswing or i just suck,we will see it after more sample size :}
The Sharkscope leader in the 45 player rankings got also a couple of times a 100-150bi downswing which i on the 7$ over 1k.
So i should be out of that down sooner or later.also i collect some Fpps which i can always use for instant cash rakeback.With this boni i can always pay rent and motorbike so my fix cost are always paid off with that.
I planned absolut different this year and my plan was also to play much higher but so much went wrong and my bankroll suffered as well.I will grind me up again but i need first a good run.In my life as a poker player i had a lot up and downs this one feels not more ugly than the other one but it goes to long.This is why i will check my game and play for some days with less tables again.Maybe some of your guys are also run not so good since Black Friday.If yes please let me know.
Thanks for reading.

Some guys got a couple of times 75b

Half year gone.

I woke up before two hours and checked the Calender,oh damn again a half year gone in my life.Time really goes to fast down here in Thailand.But there was something with a 100k challenge if i remember right?well i think i need to get realistic that i cant handle this year because i really have definitely the worst half year in life.I really got to much health problems and the only person i can blame for that is myself.
I had a couple of crazy good days and really guys i had a lot of fun but now i need to get really some discipline again.Not only in poker also in my lifestyle.I started already today with a small walk and believe me or not i still Limp and i think i look a little bit like quasimodo when i try to get more speed lol.
But whatever i have not much of a choice i will eat better and drink maximum once per week.

Im also Single again and i really tried to figure out why,maybe it was the think when my Girlfriend bought some turtles and gave it to a monk in a sea.Set them free and i will have good luck again,also she bought some Bird and released them out of the cage (yes also for good luck)
Thais and Western people believe in different things,i know this is only a business.So they make money with that.She told me so happy that my luck will change now,and i told her i will actually more happy if this wasted money is still in my wallet hehe.
She didn't liked that and i guess i hurt her feelings to often.
Maybe it was the future teller which she visited,before she left me.Dont know what this witch told her lol.

Well Pattaya is definitely not a place to get bored or stay alone,so if i really wanna find a new nice lady it is easy but im actually happy to be alone again.Think some people are not born to have a relationship,and if i be honest i really suck in be a good Partner.Single life is much easier,and it is also more easy to look only after myself.

Good funny story from yesterday,i drunk on a Bar with an Australian guy he really looked like Tommy lee Jones.He was a fun guy,he told me about hes friend Steve a professional Gambler.He said he knows everything about Poker i introduce you.So i went with him to a Place where i met Steve.He opened hes Pokerstars account.I saw in the Lobby exactly one Star in the Vip Status so i smiled had a drink and left quickly again.Professional?kiss my a.........
Alright guys need to relax a bit before i start grinding.
Good Luck to everyone!
