Upswing anyone?

Posted by Georg Prohaska - 12/10/09 at 01:10:29 pm

I havnt really been in the mood for blogging in the last few months because I didnt know what to write. Poker is the same as always, I’m having a fine year considering how much I’ve played. The last few days have been pretty good and I managed to go on a somewhat big heater:

July and August werent that great so now I’m really happy with my overall winnings this year.

There is a new Poker-TV-Show  produced for the ORF and I might get in. I’ll know for sure at the end of the week. It’s nothing too exciting since it’s a series of SNGs in which only the winner gets a WSOP package, but it would still be fun to be on TV so I hope they take me

This Month….

Our trip to Barcelona was a blast and we managed to go out drinking for seven days straight. The clubs in Barcelona are really awesome and it’s a city where you can easily spend a lot of money.  Some pictures are up on facebook so I won’t post any here.   I am sure that this wasn’t my last trip to Barcelona.  The beach is pretty cool there. Also  I didn’t expect the water to be that  clean there.

After Barcelona I went to Velden for the CAPT Velden. I didn’t play any tourneys cause I didn’t feel like playing.  Hanging out there was real fun and swimming in the lake there is cool too.  I made a bit of money playing cashgames, but overall I didn’t play that much.

I am going to on vacation with my girlfriend this weekend for one week.  It’s going to be a nice hotel in Turkey and I hope I can relax there so that I can pick up the grind again.

Good Day

shipped the w2d sunday tourney for 4.3k (didn’t play any other  tourneys since I was hungover)

Next week I am going to  barcelona with some  friends.

Poker is running maeh just like it’s going about the whole year.  I am playing along pretty goalless right now. I don’t have the balls to take on nl1k and besides of moving up there aren’t too many goals in poker. I nearly played 100k hands on stars nl400 by now and my winrate is soso but OK I guess if you consider that I am still tilting like a mofo… I might play another 100k hands and then decide where to go from there. My recent interest in tourney poker is still somehow “burning” . Poker is  a lot of fun right now, but I enjoy plo100 more than nl400 atm.

Badbeat anyone?

AC/DC concert

Posted by wtfichigo - 31/05/09 at 03:05:02 pm

The concert was my pretty good, altough I had to sit during the whole time and the seats were really small.  My knee managed so survive this whole incident without any damage.   I am happy to cross AC/DC of my list of bands, which I haven’t seen yet. There ar a few left, but the list certainly gets smaller every year.

Currently I am grinding like a mofo with mixed results, since I have a prop bet wit Volan running who is going to be Supernova at stars first.  I trieda lot of things that I usually don’t do and I am also currently experimenting with the number of tables that I play.

Today is tourney sunday and as always I think I am going to ship a big one! Seriously my tourney game improved a lot since I started playing tourneys and I hope another good result is coming up in the near future!

As for the stanley cup finals, the Redwings are going to own the Penguins pretty hard. After game one of the series, you can already see the difference between these two teams. It’s going to much harder for Crosby/Malkin to produce some points against the Redwings and I think the strong Redwings defense is going to make the difference in this final.

Three days ago…

… I was finally able to leave the hospital. My knee surgery went well and I am currently learning to walk again I have to use cruches for 3 weeks now and after that I will be able to walk on my own. In three months from now, my knee should be in a shape, that allows me to start travelling again! I will post a pic of my after surgery knee in the near future, I hope nobody pukes over it :>

Today I am going to the ac/dc concert in vienna, I hope me knee won’t let me down there. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go there, because my knee is still swollen.  But I wasn’t able to get rid of the tickets anyway, so It doesn’t matter and I really want to see the band!

The Nhl playoffs are finally coming to an end. There is a good chance that the redwings will make it again and this would make me pretty happy. The penguins are honestly the team that I root the most against and they are leading carolina 3:0 so they are basically through. There are still some games to come and I hope I won’t miss many of them.

The Ebel(austrian league) starts at the beginning of september and after the stanley cup final is over, there won’t be any hockey to watch for me

Pokerwise I am slowly picking up the grind again and I really don’t feel like stressing myself too much about it.  I sure as hell will grind a lot in the next two months since there isn’t too much I can do besides playing quake live or ps3. Hopefully I will able to control my tiltmonster .

Finally I want to thank all my friends and family that were visiting me in the hospital!

The Capt Innsbruck…

Posted by wtfichigo - 11/05/09 at 02:05:25 pm

… was a fairly short experience for me. I think I lasted about 40 minutes… You got to run pretty good to win even such a small tourney and this time it was just not going to happen. My three other mates also managed to bust on the first day, so the tourney was no success at all.  Non poker wise the trip to Innsbruck was a “success”  since I was able to meet some poker mates and get hammered with them(props to dominik, juergen and kitzi!).
My surgery date, after some back and forth, is finally drawing near and I got to go to the hospital tomorrow.  After that I have to keep quite for at least 4 month and don’t do too much stupid stuff for 8 months .  I hope everything will work out !
