Colts; 100r wins; Week Review

Today is the Superbowl. Im a Colts fan since 2003 and obv. Im very excited about the game today. Should be awesome. Im clearly not paying my most attention to Poker today, as long as the Colts win this will be a great day, even if I dont play much or drop a lot.

This week has been good as fas as Poker goes...I didnt really play to much this week, but managed to get 2nd in the UB 320$ 6max for 9.5k (lost 22 to J6 on J542 and QQ vs. AK - otherwise I woulda shipped it) but oh well, I thought I had a huge edge on my opponent and felt great about the way I played. Then on Friday I played a shortish session and managed to win the 100r for almost 21k after getting there on the river when I got coolered w/ top two vs nuts (I got there on the river though). Im sure taking a chop here wouldn't have been that terrible, but I feel very confident about myself having an edge over almost everybody HU in a MTT as long as the structure allows some play, so I dont think there is a need to chop for me normally. OBV when you get coolered you think about ''man, you should have taken the chop'' but I think I still feel like that vs most Players you shouldn't cause as long as your edge is great enough its clearly better to play it out. Actually I never chopped either and I think mostly its not worth it, cause most MTT Players have their leaks in HU play. So I got a decent week...having two pretty good scores which I am happy about after having a really bad Sunday last week.

Yesterday again ''my'' football (for all Americans reading this, fuck you @ calling it soccer!) club, VfB Stuttgart won in a pretty dramatic way, scoring a goal in 87. minute, winning 2:1. This is the 4th win in a row and we are now more and more playing the way we should be. Very excited about this team being able to finally crush.

Also winning the 100r should put me close to getting Ranked on p5s...hope I can make it by the end off the month, which I should if I run normal and play enough.

The weather is still terrible though which sucks really badly, oh well. Besides I had a good week though and am excited for the next weeks and playing/crushing a ton, esp with the FTOPS coming up!

I'm also gonna post a random song at the end of each blog post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFYQQPAOz7Y&feature=related (cause its fun!)

much love everybody,

entry post/goals 2010 etc

Sup everybody? I've decided to write a blog, Im not very good at writing or anything though, so I apologize in adancve. Also I'm gonna try and write it in english and not in german, we'll see how that works out I guess. Hope you'll get the shit I'm gonna post here.

About myself, I'm a 19 year old Pokerpro from Stuttgart, Germany playing fulltime for over 2 years now. Quit school in 11th grade, cause I thought I was good enough to make money at Poker. Worked out apprently. Guess I just ran great all the time so that convinced me to become a Pro. Never read a book or anything, basiclly learned everything w/ poker on my own and by playing.

atm I dont really have any plans on what my goals for 2010 are w/ poker, but I'd def like to become the most successful online tournament pro from germany (on pocketfives) and also get ranked. Also depending on how life goes I guess I will play heaps of EPTs and stuff so FTing a livedonkament would be pretty cool as well. Also hope once I make enough $ I can transfer into playing less volume so I don't have to play the fucked up 7pm-6am schedule every day and always have to sleep through the day, which kinda sucks.

Going to try to keep you guys updated as often as possible and if the english isnt understandable, just lmk and I'll write it in german ;).

See you at the tables,
HKMC
