Like you didn't have any luck winning tournament 
Admit that I staked you, now I want 900$ back 
haha just joking, this is a serious achievement, I congratulate you on winning. Have some fun, 2k isn't a fortune, but is good money 
I thought it is time to go one blogging my poker career. As you all know I won the 5$ MTT on PokerStars. For some reasons I had to cash out all my money and took a long brake of poker to concentrate on the important stuff. Now I'm back again with lot of time to invest into this game. Allthough I have to start again at the bottom I'm pretty sure I'll move up pretty quickly because I'm feeling confident and playing my A-game most of the time. On top of that I do a lot of theory and analysis.
What changed?:
I'm no longer studying Electrical Engineering. Now I'm living in Rheinbrohl, somewhere at the border of Nordrhein-Westfahlen and Rheinland-Pfalz in West-Germany. My dad opened a new Bowlingcenter where I work and live.
What will happen?:
I'll try again to invest as much energy as possible in this game to move up the limits again. Last time I blogged here it was great for my own game so I'll do again and I hope I get at least one or two users reading this stuff :).
My Setup:
Screens: 2x22" Widescreen
Tables: 4-6
Platform: iPoker, PokerStars
Limit: NL10
Additional Software: PokerTracker 3 (many of you are using HM instead of PT3 but I'm pretty content with it)
Today I'll start my new beginning and will post as much interesting stuff as possible. I hope you'll all enjoy it.
If someone is interested in some kind of study/discuss groups just contact me:

Welcome back on poker tables. I always liked to read your posts and am looking forward reading them again after your short break
Good luck at tables,

Due to my work at the weekend I had not that much time to grind but still played about 2.000 hands. First session went pretty bad with two coolers. Second than was much better but still a bit down. Not a problem yet. I'm considering to change to fullring games where I had a higher winrate starting this year. I'm going the reach the 15.000 hands mark and then decide if to stay at the shorthanded games or not.
I also played two tournaments at PokerStars. One 2.20$ and a friend of mine staked me for the 10$+1$ 30.000$ guaranteed. Here are the spots where I busted:

That's what I call a cooler
As mentioned I played 1771 hands and dropped four stacks due to a bad run and some missplayed hands. I'll post them later after work.
Today I'll recieve my rakeback so I cash out at pokerstars and move my whole roll to iPoker because of the 43% rakeback I get there.
Current Bankroll:
PokerStars: 80,87$
iPoker: 68,26$
rakeback: 150$
Total: 299,13$ (-41,28$)
I'm currently just playing four tables to concentrate on my postflop game. I already decided not to change to fullring games because NL10 is such a soft limit. I just have to stop making some sick "moves". Played around 3.000 hands in total and after I was about seven stacks down I'm now about two stacks up. I also recieved 5$ at iPoker from my 200$ cashin bonus and 30$ on FullTilt because I helped someone to fix a problem with his new screen. I posted many hands but not in this forum because I think I'll get better feedback at 2p2. When I've reached the first 5.000 hands I'll post my graph and stats.
I also played some tournaments between 1$ and 5$ without any success.
Current Bankroll:
Stars: 105,02$
iPoker: 101,92$
FullTilt: 21,44$
rakeback: 150$ (still not recieved)
Total: 378,38$ (+79,25$)
Just finished my last session and played 4206 hands in total. Everything went fine. Here are the graphs and stats I promised:
Current Bankroll:
PokerStars: 114,01$
iPoker: 116,51$
FullTiltPoker: 30,59$
MoneyBookers: 149$
Total: 410,11$ (+31,37$)
I had to make a small deposit on PokerStars to cashout there on moneybookers to then ship my whole roll to iPoker to clear the bonus there. Just have to wait about 40 hours to withdrawl at PokerStars. And I also played some MTT where I came itm in two of them but just won about double my buyin.
I'm not able to withdrawl at FullTiltPoker yet because they've got a minimum amount of 50$. When I've reached that amount I'll instantly cash out to ship that rest also to iPoker. Perhaps I'll change to PartyPoker NL25SH when my bankroll went up to at least 625$ (25bi) because that's the only software I'm tracked at pokerstratgy with...
Goals till Sunday 21st:
- Read "Bobbo's Bible of No Limit Holdem" by Robert "bobbofitos" Eckstut
- reach 15.000 hands in total (may not work due to work)
- post some more hands also in this forum
- evaluate some hands posted by other users (already did some)
I advise you all to read the following books:
1. How To Beat No Limit Hold'Em 6max Cash Games (link) 50$
2. Bobbo's Bible of No Limit Holdem (link) 750$
Hey anstaendig.
Nice and well organized blog. I follow it with interest.
Cheers,
Kimber88
It's already tuesday and I have not reached even half of my goals due to work during the days... Moved my whole bankroll to iPoker and played around 8.000 hands total and I'm defenitely running bad like always on iPoker. When the new PartyPoker software is ready I guess I'll move my whole role to it also because I can earn PokerStrategy Points there alltough there are no NL20 but NL25 games. Playing a bit underrolled is perhaps a bit risky but I think I can manage that. If im loosing to many stacks I'll just play some NL10 fullring games till I reach the 500$ mark! I don't give a f*** on that deposit bonus on iPoker because it's anyways not reachable at my limit.
When I have more time starting next week I defenitely will update a bit more and most importand play more hands...
Current bankroll: 413.85$ (+3,74$)
Good luck at the tables...

Hey guys. I think I'm back in business. All the time I had a lot poker stuff going on I mostly read and posted in the german forum. I'm currently playing NL100. But because of I kind of stagnated I'm starting a small project on PartyPoker by starting with 100$ and grinding my way up the limits. I decided to blog about that in this part of the forum because the german is kind of lame :). So stay tuned for updates till around next week...
