TwiceT made it! 1st english community black member + 1k forum posts my name is T .... Twice T this is going to be my longest post on ps. it's about insights in TwiceT's mindfucker thoughts on poker (if u dont know me, check out my blog [link in signature] for general infos) and a review on my poker experiences so far ... dont expect too much entertainment as usual, but rather my thoughts on poker. i thought it may be a good idea to post some strategy stuff once every 1k posts &diams; //hope u guys dont mind its in keyword style, but it will contain a lot of info/thoughts and i dont want to write another master thesis ofc, if u have specific questions or didnt quite get one of my statements, post here and i will answer. I LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT how to become a soulreader and make money by playing cards? => it's all about commitment, dedication and self evaluation. i dont know how many hands i played so far or how much rake i made so far, but i know its .. MANY / A LOT &diams; but what i know is: i started my poker career with free $50 from ps and made a nice 6 digit$ amount so far. short term goal is to make it 7 digit soon and then probably start some other rl businesses/investments with that money and treat poker just as a hobby from then on. here's how my poker journey started: - summer 2007 i did an internship in dublin, ireland => commitment from the first day! - during my internship i worked for 40 hours/week - when not working, we had manyyy parties cuz i lived with many students from all over europe and ofc, partying was our daily business haha - during my working hours i asked my mentor ash05 aka madgame tons of questions about the game and stuff and i started reading A LOT - in the evening, before partying when all my friends, colleagues were resting/taking a nap i played and tried to get some experience. so i basically didnt sleep, just grinded, read, worked and partied the whole summer. - when back in vienna, i was playing/studying poker while having 2 studies running. so i also put a lot of dedication in my poker development. ofc, since i had to study a lot, i didnt make big improvements super fast. however, i always took my poker career seriously, even when i just played micros and had to develop my skills a lot more. - in january 08, so basically after some months, i saw that playing poker earns me more money than my job, so basically from that moment on i played poker for a living. ofc, as a student i didnt need a lot of money, so it was even possible to finance my lifestyle while just playing 55$ sng. (after 100$ sng and low limit mtts, i switched to cash games as my main game) - about the community: although the community cant earn money for u nor can it develop a winning poker game for u (though it can help ofc with strategy discussion/hand analysis etc), its great to be part of such a community with all the parties, events and the familiar atmosphere. during the last 12 months i also coached a lot (private + videos for ps) and i got to know many rly interesting, funny and smart ppl from many european countries (i also visited some of them last summer during my roadtrip and will do so again this summer) and even some ppl from other continents (expect a visit in brasil soon calta ;) ) so i will use this oppurtinity to thank the whole community for this great atmosphere & also thanks to the pokerstrategy team. special thnx to johannes who is not only a great help when i have some poker issues/questions but is also a great party guy (budapest ftw). also, vali, your writing skills are teh nutz and i'm rly looking forward getting u to know personally in gibraltar soon. also thnx to the education team clemens, tobias and ofc the ceo, masterOfPokerDisaster himself, dominik. i think ps offers a great surrounding for a poker player/coach and i never had any problems with them, so looking forward to a cool cooperation + some more crazy (bm) parties in the future &diams; now, lets turn to some strategy .... - how to become a good poker player - realise u are a fish. if u think u are a good poker plr => stop thinking, step back and realize u are not. u might know some concepts, but u are probably overestimating your skills A LOT. - analyse hands (read: analyse A LOT of hands) - talk about the game as often as possible with many different plrs - nl10 deeeeeep homegames ftw (especially with tha mindfucker crew in vienna &diams; ) in such homegames u see lines/ideas u have probably never seen before. being creative and capable of thinking outside the box is always of great asset to have. - get coaching (be prepared! prepare hands in advance, install and test (!) the software in advance, do everything u can do use the (expensive) time as useful as possible) maybe just book coachings when u move up in limits and maybe book different coaches to get to know different views ... - do sweat sessions with friends/ps members who play similar limits - start coaching (coach y...

Im from the german community, but who cares.....!?!
I think listening to him and watching his vids are the best thing that could happen to my mindset!! Ive really big probs with downs and badbeats, but I saw thats just part of the game and im trying to take it easy.
Normally, if im running bad and a worse player(for sure im not the king^^ Im a beginner at smallstakes)) than me sucks all the time i begin to destroy things(e.g. mouse) and stop playing my A-Game.
But since I saw his vids, amazing...he always stays so cool! No matter if he loose or win..if he did the right thing its okay . Nothing more you can do!
He is playing his A-game...and thats it.

And I think for me, to see how a good player like him also cant win all the time is very important for my mindset.

Now i try to play my A-game most of the time and take it easy if think i did the right thing. Thats all in the long run! I hope ill do so also in the future and wont fall back in tilting all the time

Sry, if its not the best english...but I tried my best^^

So move it, move it TwiceT-Vienna needs you!
