November plus new plans!

so
Unfortunately i had a again a bad month so i'm forced to do some changes in my game selection,back to the roots is my plan.Running extremely bad in all the turbo games and that now to long.To avoid situations like this i will play for a while only non turbo games.So i took a challenge with a friend to play in 7 days 500 of the 45-180man sngs in non turbo format.With a small side bet for the extra kick :}
I hope i can find my a game soon again,because running like this is really not much fun.
It also will be a nice change because if i also run bad here i cant loose much money the downs are much more suitable for my bankroll and my psychology.
Good luck to everyone in the new month.

Cant stop the bad run

The last 4 days i lost 2400$ every single session was a nightmare.I lost so many strong hands in important spots is against all math.For example i push my AA in a Turbo Mtt allin and had 2 caller.One with pocket tens and another guy with A 10.Of course the one outer came already in the flop,plenty of 3 outers on the river i think i never experienced so much beats in only 4 days.It feels like you go to work and everyone beats the crap out of you for hours.No honestly i dont want to be a cry baby but it goes like this now for weeks.I checked also my results for he last 3 month and i see now i did not make any money.Because of the Rake back i had a little profit but that never covers my costs for my living.So i got no choice need to go back to the low limits to recover my bankroll.Is pretty hard but i think i should done that move before 2 month already.My bankroll will look much nicer than it looks right now.
Think 8-12hour Sng grinding per night will be the best to get back in shape quickly.
I think that year was my worst poker year since i decided to make a living from it,the only thing that keeps me still confidence is that i really loose my hands because the donkey is playing terrible and get to often lucky.That have to change sooner or later again.Than poker will be fun again :}

And again break even :{

This picture shows perfect the emotions and my up and down feelings this month.I missed so many final tables,was so often close to the last tables but than i was getting all kind off setups and bad beats.Day for day and i ask myself why i got suddenly so much variance in my game.
The answer is my average buy in,this month the average is on 21$ and swings from 500$-1000$ are very normal.The thing is i really dont like it and also last month i didnt earned money.So i will step back again for a while and grind only games i really beat for sure.I want some result this month and i think i know what to do.In the past i done ok in the 45-180player games.With enough samplesize i should get some good dollars plus rake-back from that.
I start tonight with the sit and go grind,and i will only mix some of the low-medium turbo sngs in the programm.Tonight my upswing will start :}
Cheers all!

October result

I tried my best and i was close to be even again but at the end it was not enough :}
But after i started up so badly at the beginning i feel good that i recovered close to all losses,this month i keep it simple no high-limits just the games i beat already.If im a couple of k ahead I will give the high limits some shots again.This are 3,4k vpp and i will do that in the daytime with the fifty 50 games which i try to beat longtime.This games are fantastic to earn quick points but still i dont beat them really so i need more samplesize first.Last night i went early to bed because today i have to welcome a old friend in the afternoon time.So my plan is to play a lot of the fiftys than i take the rest of the day off.
Have a nice week people ;}

Very good days

In the last 8 days i recovered 3400$ from my losses,things look much better and i feel very good.Got plenty of winning sessions in the with the Sngs again,still  bust to many times close before the final tables in my tournament schedule.Doesn't matter i cant complain the result is good and my plan is working.It is a fantastic feeling to make money again,my only problem is my neck it is to stiff so after the weekend i need definitely a break and more exercise again.
Tonight i go for a lot of tournaments because they double the price pool on some games.I did not sleep long and well so i will need the help from my best friend Jonny Walker to stay alert and focus again ;}
Thanks for reading and good luck

Crazy upswing night after a long time of suffering

After last Sunday night i was so damn much on tilt like never before.4 K down this month and really upset about the way i was running.Every important hand was getting in important spots suck outed like never before.Also the pressure was higher on me because i played mostly high limit games.I should take it more easy after i was running from the first to the last day only absolute bad.
So after the first 3 weeks in that month i had only a single winning session and all the times bad downs.I decided it is impossible to play right now i need vacation.So i stopped playing from Monday to Thursday and came on Friday back to the tables.The same shit happen again but i was fresh in mind and took the beats with a smile.It have to turn sooner or later and i already moved back to the low-medium limit games.So the beats didnt bother me that much.
at a long night of playing i finally booked ny second winning session from that month.20 lousy Dollar.What a joke but still better than loosing again.

Saturday was definitely my day,i started up and was running so hot again.After a couple of hours playing i won a 180mann Sng.I checked my roll and was already 300$ ahead and still 15 tables open.Also some new one registered.I new that will be my night again.
So i went in plenty mtts deep in the money and i came  in 2 of the 50$ mtts close to the final table.i was 9 from 19 and find AQ on the button,had 25BB and i raised,the chi pleader went instant Allin but he always does that.This was my chance and i called.He showed me J10.I flopped the straight and was the new chip leader for less than a second because the crazy guy hit one more Jack and his Full House beats my Straight.

But no problem daddy had plenty other good tables running so i reached on the other medium Mtt the Final table.Here i done well but at the end the chip leader become to much power and i didnt had anything to fight back.So i went out on third place with a nice 1,6k amount.My biggest mistake was when the 2 other guys wanted a deal i told myself no,i will kick there asses easy.At the end the kicked my ass so badly :}
With a deal i will get 1k more for sure but who cares now.

I had a lot of other nice smaller cashes and finally i stopped.

Today is a German copy of a Oktoberfestival here in my town.So i will have fun there with my mates.Eating German snacks,and enjoy the good quality of the best beer in the world.
I also know there will be a drinking contest,what nobody know is that im not easy to beat in games like that hehe.
So at least im favourite on this contest :}
Enjoy your Sunday people.
Take care Heiko
