New old Limit
Posted by gunn0rr - 18/02/09 at 03:02:24 amNow it’s time to hear something new from me. I played very few hands till end of december last year thats why i didn’t post so far. Whatever, i started on the 3rd weekend in December playing on win2day with a BR for NL10/20. During the holidays i played like a maniac and pwnd everbody on nl20, the fact that there are no regs helped me to achieve a very good winrate of about 18BB/100. Now i play for about 10k hands on NL50 and I am running hot with the nearly same winrate. I also started to play on Boss Media again where i did get a pretty good deal.
The funny thing is that i already played NL50 about a year ago but i cashed out and didn’t continue to play (no idea why…). I hope to get up to NL100 in the next 3 months on win2day and build a BR for NL50 on Boss.
Here my stats for this month (best ever so far):
Long time no see
Posted by Georg Prohaska - 17/02/09 at 06:02:56 pmIt’s been a while since my last blogpost. After I returned from bali (which was a really relaxing week btw) I started grinding in our new apartment in graz. I’ve been running pretty bad and whenever I’m on a downswing I really don’t feel like blogging. After today I’m even for the month after 29k Hands which isn’t too bad considering how horrible i ran.
On Win2Day I seem to run bad since over 3 months. I just checked and I managed to make whooping 2k€ since November 1st on Win2Day which is a really poor result considering how bad the competition is. The main problem is that there is so little action that I just can’t get many hands in. I only played 40k Hands of nl400+ on Win2Day since I started my HEM-db in August. And we all know that 40k hands are nothing. The funny thing is that there are quite a few regulars there that consider themselves to be a “poker pro” because they managed to win xxxxx€ from fish at limits as high as NL1k allthough they havn’t played much more than 300k hands of poker alltogether. I find it interesting how lightly many people take the decision to “go pro”. For me it took a pretty long time to finally think of poker as my actual job. Also I finished my bachelor in computer science in order to have at least something if the day comes that poker can’t be played profitable anymore (allthough I don’t think that day is going to come ever). I guess many people see the “easy” money and think it’s going to be like this forever. I’m really curious how the pokerworld will look like in 2-3 years. I think it will still be possible to play profitably but alot of the mediocre winning players that are around now will be gone because they won’t be able to show a profit anymore when the games continue to get thougher. We’ll see, I hope I’m not one of these mediocre players 
.
Here are 2 hands I played against one of the Win2Day regulars. The first is only to show how bad he is and the 2nd is nothing special but it illustrates well how I run at Win2Day these days:
I didn’t play nearly aggro enough to justify his offstack here

Time to blog again!
Posted by wtfichigo - 15/02/09 at 11:02:34 pmPrague has been a blast and we had a ton of fun there. Maybe I will post some pictures after I get my camera back from a friend. We visited some tourist spots and walked around a lot. We got hammered friday and saturday, but the clubs we were in didn’t really amaze me and the partying was mediocre. I guess too much alcohol can be blamed here. I think prague is nice, but far away from my favorite cities that I visited so far.
My knee surgery got postponed to the 26th of march. Not a great date, but my doctor had the flue so we had to postpone that. That gives me some time to kill before my surgery and I might get one or two trips done. The city that has yet to be decided….
I played about 10k hands since my last entry and I played 2k more since I saved this draft I wanted to post that I am up a bit, but my last 2k hands put me down another 6 buy ins. I won’t keep on rambling since nobody likes to read that. I think it’s pretty much a mixture of me beeing over aggressive/getting into stupid spots/running not well.
I think I might grind out nl400 till I make 10 stacks there just to get back a little bit of my confidence. I think I am playing fairly well for most of the time and mostly I am just playing 7-8 tables now when I play nl1k. But somehow it doesn’t really matter if you play good, when the cards don’t go your way. I am definitely not the first guy, that isn’t able to crush nl1k right from the bat, so I am defnitely not too sad about that.
I played a bunch of tournies today, I managed to bust out early in nearly all of them. At the 100k guaranteed at boss I managed to make a whopping 77th place, which was just 17 places away from the price money, when I managed to loose two consecutive flips when I was in good shape…. Someday I will take one down, I swear!
I will post again after I made 10 buy ins at nl400/600!
I couldn’t sleep…
Posted by wtfichigo - 06/02/09 at 03:02:08 am… so I decided to put in another session…
apparently at this time of the night there aren’t many nl1k games running, so I played a bunch of everything that was open and 2/4+ . I played about 1800 hands and won a whopping 6k.. I mean wtf. My biggest loosing day and my 2nd biggest winning day following up each other in a frame of 6k hands. o_0 With these cards and setups I would have made a lot more while playing nl1k…. but I take what I can get…
Look how good I ran!! 
Just wanted to add this, so that noboday can say that I am just whining around.
I am tired now, gn8
hmmpf
Posted by wtfichigo - 06/02/09 at 12:02:24 amI just finished my first -10k day. Honestly it feels pretty bad. So no recovery so far….
The day started with my first session going really bad and after sometime I think I started to tilt. No real monkey shoving tilt, just beeing way to aggro and spewing around. After I realized it, I was down 6k already…
I think a combination of this hand and some small hands against some fish made me tilt. My worst tilt hand from today. here. I don’t know why, but especially hands like this tilt me pretty hard…
Quitting is a skill too, and I should have quit after I run this awful bluff….
The biggest fish that played today puked right all over me here o_0
can’t blame anyone, but myself for that….
You know it can’t be a good day when hands turn out like that.
I wouldn’t have won anyway since the K spiked his way to the board…
Me freerolling villain, oh no wtf crap o_0
Here I am pretty sure I would play it the same like EVERYTIME…
Some other guy is going to be happy in the future…
Do the funny duck!
hOOray, oh no not again o_0
Oh I forgot, I also won some !
My biggest win for today
TT goes in for the kill!
That were about all pots from the >60bb fraction… I only played 4k hands so…. My whopping 36% in these 2500 hands of nl1k that I played today, might have also something to do with my losses…
I know I turned this blog into a whine blog, but be prepared for flortschs next entry, hes going to be back from vacation soon and I think he will destroy the games again…. 
Tomorrow I am heading for prague and I hope we will have a big party weekend there
*edit*
I know that’s just poker and I know I have to deal with this kind of swings too, but right now it just suxx..
all day long
Posted by wtfichigo - 05/02/09 at 01:02:48 amIn the last two days I played about 16k hands. Yesterday I stopped running awful for the first time this year and I managed to book a win that nearly made me even for the year…
Today I feel like the pokergods hate me again… Playing 7k hands and beeing down 2k is like.. wtf why me
I was surprised that I didn’t win that one. Villain showed me how to be unpredictable I guess.
Hand1
Villain in this hand thinks he is cool mr. aggro and this hand nearly tilted me….4
maeh hand here
When I saw that board, I knew I was dead..
Seems like I can’t win a hand against this guy..
I think AQ is the hand that mostly ownt me in the last days..
Now I am coming to the funny hands
complete fish obvs
MY best call from today, enjoy!
So while I am wrting this I am actually two tabling because of a great spot, that I don’t want to miss. And now this hand just happened. Iam pissed² and I am going to bed now.
Also the rise against concert was rescheduled to thursday and I think that I can’t attend it now. Bad beat from live obviously..
My song of the day is from sickofitall
awful month
Posted by wtfichigo - 01/02/09 at 10:02:31 pmI’ve been sick for the last 7 days… I didn’t play any poker nor was I able to do anything else besides laying in bed, coughing and sweating…
On Monday I had two course finals and after 3 hours of sleep and having pretty high fever at that time too, I think I did pretty poor job there. This Friday I had another course final and my condition was really bad at this time as well. One hour of multiple choice questions at 8 in the morning won’t do your condition any good I would say… Of course I failed for 1 point out of 80 …. when it rains, it pours….
So the whole week went to complete waste due to my flu. Since today is superbowl and I am going to be up pretty late, I played about 10 tourneys so far…
I think I am now on a 25+ Tourney streak where I didn’t even come near a bubble….. I hate tourneys, but once in a while I get the urge to play them and then I play a ton of them and SOMEDAY I too will score big in one of them
Last month was finally something like -6k after rakeback, which isn’t too bad since I didn’t play more than 4k hands after my last blog and I logged only about 36k Hands for this month including my ridiculous nl2k shots…
I hope I can start to play with full force again on monday or tuesday. After this bad month, I will do better now.
This tuesday I got tickets for the rise against concert at the gasometer. I hope I am fully recovered by tuesday, if so we might also hit the bars in vienna( A fiend of mine is joining me there) . On Friday we are going to prague for the weekend, to celebrate the birthday of a good friend of mine. On the 12th I am going to a ACL surgery for the 2nd time in my life, whish me luck there …
