Making a living with STT SNGs

Germany update

Hi guys and girls,

Decided to take a bit of time to update what has been going on in Germany.

Cost of living here
Since I arrived here on 19th of December, the weather was mostly rainy with 2 days exceptions when it was sunny but only for certain part of the day. When it comes to sight seeing, I did see some of the main monuments in the city center as well as actual center. I am very happy about that but to be honest, it is nothing I haven't seen before in Boston, NYC, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava or such cities. A lot of things are "same same but different". What did surprise me is how expensive Germany is vs Serbia, Thailand, Slovakia (Bratislava). To take a train one way is 2.80 euro. To eat Ceaser Salad is 8.65 or 10.65 eur with extra chicken. Candy is 1 eur and up (Ritter sport awesome chocolate and Kinder Bonbons is brutally awesome candy!!!). I did not get any beer because I prefer Rakija and beer is carbs heavy any ways (terrible for weight loss).
When it comes to other "weird" things from Germany (or my experience here) is the fact that when you go to public places, there is no WI FI. They don't offer it because of copyright laws, they are afraid user might download some torrents or hack and then they are responsible for it. Makes sense but sucks big time when you come with international number that has no internet plan in foreign country (or is super expensive to add one anyways). Another interesting thing is how actual market place vs gas stations vs places close to trains that sell regular things are way different in price ranges. So if you buy Kinder Bonbons for 3.50 euro 300 gr, gas station is 150 gr for same price. Water is way over priced outside of market place (in market you can find it for 20 cents a bottle which is of course great price) goes from 1.5 euro up per bottle etc.
What I am saying is that to live in Germany, there is huge price differences for regular life stuff. If I ever lived here I would to save money bargain hunt all over the place. For example I found in Rewe market where there is salad bar, you can get 100gr of anything for 1.19 eur. So I get 1kg of beautifully cut and cooked chicken breast for 11-12 eur tops. Super +EV deal considering that at home (in Serbia) I eat chicken breast all the time and here I can just add some more salad with it and my favorite meals are ready.
So definitely, to live in Germany single, one needs 2k+ eur to feel OK with food bills and regular life. In Serbia that amount is 500-700 eur, Thailand 700-900 eur tops, USA is also 2.5k+$. Quality of life is also very different but I would always choose now at my age 34 Serbia or Thailand for life vs Germany or USA. Just to mention, today is Sunday and very few things work today. This is unthinkable in Serbia or Thailand. Markets are open, stores, malls, places to drink coffee, places to go out, here I am told its ghost apocalypse like. No wonder people are productive in Germany when they stay in on Sundays and work from home (likely)

OK, now onto some other things while in Germany.

Poker
Played 2 sessions Spins, won 10 buy ins in 1st and in 2nd believe was BE or lost 1 buy in. Played live poker with a friend and won 354 EUR i 3.5 hours (cool hourly). Initially we were supposed to play 2/2 and signed up for waiting list but it was too long of a wait and casino didn't really offer hot girls to talk to or any attraction to peak my interest so we went ahead and entered 5/5 game with 250 eur each. I went up 300+ eur with 3 GTO bluff catches and then cashed out with 114 EUR profit from that table as soon as 2 spots opened for 2/4 table (minimum buy in 150 eur). Remaining 2.5 hours at 2/4 I won 240 eur and that was that for me.
Games were soft of course. Future of poker is live poker but higher limits of course. Playing 1/2 or 2/2 is too low in my opinion to make up for any serious online hourly. On 5/5 there were me and my friend, 1 tight reg, 1 young guy who seemed to know his way in the game (reg for sure) 1 old nit, 1 whale aggro spewy (every hand calling light flop turn bluffing rivers), and 1 aggro older reg with 1 weak tight reg who overfolds of course. What can I say about 5/5 game except that my friend went all in with 99 for less then 30bb pre flop and then aggro older reg and weak tight reg reshoved with over 200bb+ with JJ and TT. Too crazy to believe it I know. But I saw this with my own eyes and thought in myself "It would kick ass to have 30+ stacks and play this game full time".
2/4 game was even easier then 5/5 game because there was me and my friend + 2 more regs from which 1 is decent , 2nd one is very light, and rest of table was open book. When they raise 4-5bb they have top 4-5% range, rest is limping fest. So the action went many times with limp pre flop of course. Then post flop they were open book as well so it was even easier to play the game. In this game I lost pre flop with 30-40bb stack with QQ vs KK , and despite loosing such "large" amount (close to 150 EUR) I came back within 2.5 hours session not to brake even but to finish it with 240 eur profit. It was very good result considering we were 9-10 max table and that close to 400 eur won after initial cooler with QQ was all post flop without a single all in. I had perfect bluff catcher reads and my cbets and barreling was excellent as well.
So overall, 2/4 game is way more profitable vs 5/5 and playing both will yield very good ROI.

Other poker related topic is that I looked into my Spins DB while here. Analyzed my stats, stats of opponents and am ready to fix my game further. It will take a lot of time (as everything worth in life does) but I am ready to take 1 step at the time approach and attack my leaks as well as opponents.

Outside of everything I mentioned, 2 things worth mentioning:
- I bet with my friend on Partizan to win vs Young Boys 1000$ (500$ each) and cash out in live at over 2.3 odd around 80th minute (Partizan won 2-1 game). So 670,680$ profit each there.
- I played PES with my friend and he owns me at it. I lost my touch, control of players while he plays it every day and has GTO passing skills as well as channels and ways to score. So far I loose to him between 60-70% games and I win or draw rest. I did put training mode yesterday and won some games so from 11 games he won 7 I won 2 and 2 were draw. I play Arsenal, he used Manchester mostly (Better team for sure !!!) and Liverpool and Borusia. That's ok, I will get him once I buy PS4 and practice myself, its all about getting back in the zone of doing it daily. To beat fanatics you have to be fanatic!

To finish the update, I will just say what lies ahead.
- 5 more days in Germany including today. Will do more Spins work to improve and even add some hours.
- Until 1st of January from 1st of December I will keep pushing myself with grind to reach 300 hours of poker challenge. I am even considering to do 6 days per week 10 hours grind with 1 day "off" from poker to make 240 hours in December. Will see about that due to other things in life but definitely going to hit those 300 hours (need less then 230 hours at this point to make it).
- Training 5 times per week. In Germany I let myself go with soda, candy, carbs intake and over calorie deficit consumption. So I will jump rope 5 times per week and train 3 times per week Bar Brothers 3rd month (again). Its been close to 2 weeks without training and my body will need time to get back into 50+ pull ups per training.
- Thailand in 7 weeks exactly. Phuket, can't wait for it. It will be amazing time and lovely reward for this "hard" grind I am putting myself through.

That is all for this update. I wish you great end of the week and to enjoy your time on and off the tables.

Greetings from Germany!

Hey Pedrag,
welcome to Germany! Thought I should jump in here to give a residents' perspective. ♠_drink:
I agree that you can find big prize differences in Germany, so how much money you need on a monthly basis really depends on a few factors: which city/area do you live in, what kind of lifestyle do you want, do you look for deals or just go and buy the nextbest thing. Just as an example...I live in a smaller city and usually get by with 1.2k per month (including rent, fuel etc.). In bigger cities you will need more money to get by but you usually also get a higher salary, so it balances itself out somewhat. Still, Germany is one of the more expensive places to live. On the other hand, social security is very high and the state offers many programs and safety nets compared to other countries.
Sunday is a controversial topic here. Some people (and the businesses) want shops to be opened 24/7 but I'd say the majority is against it. I'm with the majority here since I think that everyone should have a free day and everyone should be able to plan one day ahead and buy all the Sunday groceries Saturday while shops are still open. And I can assure you...most of us do NOT work from home on Sundays. I just slept in with my gf, watched a series and met up with my buddy later that night.

Just wanted to leave a quick comment and hope you will have a great time with tons of chocolate and carbs

Hey DaToepFa,
Its Predrag or Pedja (nickname)

I like your response and post because it matters a lot to hear perspective from somebody who has been living in Germany for long time.
1.2k EUR is not a lot if you work a good job here. It buys you good life and security for retirement which is nice. In Serbia retirement is different topic because pensions are very low and private pension funds don't offer much ROI. Investing in stocks, bonds in Serbia sucks too due to fees and limited markets + laws. So the best thing to do in Serbia when it comes to retirement money is to actually automate income online and live and have that money then invested somewhere abroad or keep investing it in Serbia. Examples for such is to open coffee places, small market stores, exchange offices and such. Those offer very good ROI vs investment costs and more that you open, the better you can live off. So my mind for Serbia when it comes to pension and retirement is way more into automated income vs actually paying social security, health insurance pension fund and such. Other people might prefer low risk low reward, but I am 34, consider myself at this age very risk able and I want to take maximum use of such thing. If on the other hand I had wife and kids, my priorities in investing would likely be more towards less risk and more low risk low ROI things. But since that is not the case, I want to maximize EV by investing in small business which bring high ROI and also start my own business (music club, music school, online courses). All these things will automate my income. For poker, my plan is to keep playing it 100+ hours per month and also increase my coaching hours. So very likely from January 2018 I will start running coaching for profits or stable for students who will play CG (Cash game, 6 max) Spins, SNGs and HU Hypers and turbos. This is of course another way to automate income but I will do it mainly to help people become profitable players and make a living with poker.
My overall goal in 2018 is to keep improving and making money from poker while also financially making myself very settled. So my savings goal for 2018 will be towards 20k+$ as minimum. Considering projects that I am investing, working on, grinding poker, coaching, teaching music - this will be very achievable goal.

I will update about coaching stable when it happens in my blog.

Back to topic ! ♦
Sunday off happens in other countries too not just Germany but I come from place and places where Sunday ON actually makes things way easier. Say that you run out of things in your home and need to get it last minute - Sunday on helps. Going out, hook up with a girl, need condoms - traffic or market works and they are everywhere (in Serbia). You want to drink coffee at 8am, or midnight, coffee places and clubs work. So that makes things super easy and accessible. I am all up for businesses overcharging even on Sunday (wonder why nobody thought of that idea!!!) as long as I have access to things I want and need.
In regards to lack of Wi-FI in public places, that is just crazy to me. I am foreigner visiting a country, don't have internet plan for European union or any other country, so I can't even use google to search for places to visit, sightseeing, cab numbers and what not. Not to mention if I am meeting friend somewhere, to simply send message via some online messenger service like FB, Whatsapp or Viber. I get that copyright law is strong here, but its also strong in USA and I never had this happen to me. So I hope this will be lifted and people in Germany can have public wifi available to them to connect to.
In regards to cost of living in larger cities, it is the same "rule" everywhere in the world. In my town Nis in Serbia, its cheaper to live vs Belgrade by at least 30% overall. In Germany, friend told me that salaries are not high enough to compensate difference in real estate in larger cities nor expenses. So it definitely pays off to live in "smaller" cities to have strong relative vs absolute income in my opinion.

The way I approach things and look at them is:
- Always aim to work online and automate income. This way cost of traveling to work (loosing a lot of hours) is cut off.
- Hourly online can be universal but changing countries and places to live is not. So say that you do work online for 30$/h. That money in Serbia is awesome lifestyle, like a boss pimp if you will. In USA is OK, in Germany is GOOD, Thailand boss style again. So hourly online matters a lot. Imagine teaching music in Serbia live in music school (for 400 eur salary for example) or in USA (for 3k+$ salary). Doing the same thing in different place live can screw up hourly and relative income a ton. This is why I prefer online work because you basically control area of work you do, target audience and market, hourly that you work for and hours. This is why poker is great profession despite being awesome mind and strategy game that we all love and seek to learn from.

For general life things, I also prefer to automate and do minimalist approach. So if I am aiming to loose weight and drop body fat, in Serbia I would eat same meals to keep it simple, automated and to make it stick and work long time. To do that of course, I front load work 1st, figure out macro values and calories, see if it meets calorie deficit and proper protein carbs and fats and then go with it. For most people, this would be too robotic and boring way of eating food. For me its just systematic way of doing things and achieving goals. That is one of the reasons why I love Japan and Japanese people - they are kings of minimalist approach. In the west everybody is dick measuring with apartment or house, furniture or material things they are getting. In Japan people have very few clothes, small space to live in and they only keep essentials to make it work. I learned in my life a ton by applying minimalist approach. Even with this challenge of playing 8 hours poker per day, it is essential to have a plan and execute it without improvising a ton. 99% of people would not even dare to try this approach because it scares them and they deep down give up already saying they can't do it. I on the other hand want to push myself and go outside of my comfort zone always. So when I come back to Serbia Thursday evening, Friday 1st of December will be the start of even higher grind for me. I am in process of determining whether to have 1 day per week off and do 6 days 10 hours grind , to make it 240 hours in 28 days, or to grind 30 days with 8 hours each day to have it 240 hours. The quality of play may suffer and EV due to extra 2 hours grind, especially because Spins are tougher at specific time of the day on Stars (cEV will be much lower playing games vs 2 regs vs 1 reg 1 rec or 2 recs). Another option is to do 9 hours per day and do it for 25-26 days in December and then take 4-6 days rest before this year ends. Either way, I will go for minimalist approach and automation in both grinding, training and nutrition. It is the way of achieving maximum productivity and creating habits that stick very fast.

Long response, hopefully did something for someone out there

P.S. Raining in Germany AGAIN - what else is new?

Pedja it is then ♠_thumbsup:

You basically already have the overpriced Sunday alternative at gas stations and in larger cities you can also find small corner stores here and there. And I'm sure that it is just a matter of time until all shops will be opened on Sundays since...capitalism.
Free WiFi is hard to come by but for most Europeans that is not a problem since additional roaming charges within the "EEA" were dropped: "In December 2016, the representatives of the Member States voted to abolish all roaming charges by June 2017.[3] Regulation (EU) 2017/920 eventually led to the abolition of all roaming charges for temporary roaming within the EEA as of 15 June 2017." BUT if your plan is from Serbia you are fucked: "There are five recognised candidates for EU membership that are not already EEA members: Albania (applied 2009), Macedonia (applied 2004), Montenegro (applied 2008, negotiating since June 2012), Serbia (applied 2009, negotiating since January 2014) and Turkey (applied 1987, negotiating since October 2005)."
For a longer stay I'd recommend getting a cheap German plan but in your case you might as well suck it up and just wait a few days until you're back in Serbia. Oh...and I agree completely that living in a big city (doesn't matter what country it is) is often just burning money b/c you will always have lower relative income and thus savings at the end of the day. I'm also looking for ways to automate income, so will be following your posts with interests. ♠_drink:

Sounds good man! I will look into those phone plans as I plan to get one in Thailand anyways.
For automation, I think you should look into investment funds in Germany. In USA there is 401k and Roth IRA. Try to find equivalent ones of those in Germany, I am sure they will bring you long term decent ROI. Another way of automating income is BETTING. Follow successful tipster online (great ones on Football/Soccer have from 7-12% ROI yearly) and just copy bets with your own money management. The beauty of betting is that your bankroll and money management is purely up to you. Also, betting is like poker because a lot of bookies do incorrect odds setting. The more that you follow specific league or team, your edge is higher vs bookie. Another automation income is always online work. Subscription based website or online products (courses).
These are just things from top of my head what I would do if I was living in Germany and looking for ways to automate income. Another one is longer term and requires research. I would go out a lot, look for things that people need in different areas of city, check prices, compare ROI possible to make in such business and then go for it. I found in Serbia 2 very high ROI businesses this way and I am positive you can do so here. From top of my head, opening small traffica (kiosk) that works every day with emphasis on Sunday. Placing those in suburban places of town where taxes and cost to maintain it is lower but ROI is sick due to people's needs to buy cigarettes, water, candy, condoms and such.

Finally a great sunny weather day in Germany!!!
Today I will go and do more sight seeing + shop for some gifts. In 2 days I will return home to Serbia but before then have work to do with my own DB analysis for Spins and gift shopping.

Enjoy your day on and off the tables!

Hey, come and visit me in Mannheim!!!

You write 2K Euro plus, well, most people earn less. The average salary is about 1.500 Euros.

the avg. salary for 40 hours/week is ~3700€

brutto! not netto! Taxes and insurances are not subtracted here yet. After paying taxes and insurance it´s about 1.800 Euro

sure brutto, as everyone has differente taxclasses etc

As a rule of thumb: netto salary = about 50-60 % of brutto salary.

Hey Prim!
I leave tomorrow for Serbia, perhaps another visit we can arrange meet somewhere. This time I spent 10-11 days at friends place and it was semi vacation semi work type of thing. Gave me time to go through my Spins DB and check my win rates for each position, figure out new strategy adjustments and to return home fresh to grind 8 hours per day until I reach those 300 hours before end of the year.

For salary and taxes, it just shows that relative income is not as high as it seems at first. Still, living in Germany has a lot of benefits, for me one of them would be a lot of Asian girls I saw - definitely worth considering the move for that alone ♦

Yeah, income is not as high as it seems first, here we pay a lot of taxes and 15 % of your salary you pay for health insurance. But on the other hand, food and such stuff is cheap.

Quick update

Total grind in Germany: 5.08 hours
Total grind hours: over 82

Remaining of the day I will relax, start packing my stuff and do some final shopping. In the evening will likely play PES with my friend and then tomorrow from 11am until close to 8pm it will take me time to travel back to Serbia with various trains buses and plane. A bit of a exhausting trip when I think about it in advance, especially without ability to grind or listen to music, but I will figure out things to keep myself busy.

Tomorrow then will be day spent in traveling after which I will resume my grind. As you see I need less then 218 hours in whole December. So 8 hours per day average will get me there but there will be life things that will stop me from it I am sure. So on days that there are no distractions, I will push for 10 or more hours just to have extra days and times available. Already on Friday I will meet with my friends for an hour or two so that will reflect grind that day for sure.
The sooner I get back into daily grinding, easier will be to accomplish this target!

Enjoy remaining of November on and off the tables!

Quick update

Last night played another session half an hour or so, won 4 buy ins and then remaining of the night watched my friend crush nl100 ZOOM on Stars. With over 90% of lines he took I would have done the same post flop which I am very happy with knowing how strong of a poker player he is.

Today traveling back home. Leaving in close to 1 hour, need to take shower and pack then head to train station. Have 2 trains and 1 bus to change before I take the plane back home. Its snowing here today so my hope is that trip goes well and smooth in all areas. It will take me from this point about 10.5 hours to get home. Very much look forward to it, to resume my nutrition and do 5+ work outs per week + grind heavy. I am ready and motivated very strong to do killer end of the year!

Enjoy last day of the November!

Have a safe journey, Pedja!

Thanks Prim! Arrived home after 10 hours of trip. Glad to be here.

Rest of the night will visit my 2 favorite coffee places and from tomorrow will get back into the grind. Also have life things to take care of tomorrow so even 5-6 hours will be great for tomorrow. Need 218 hours in 31 days, so a bit over 7 hours per day average.
Lets do this!

Need 218 hours in 31 days, so a bit over 7 hours per day average.

Hi Pedja,

managed to 3x my bankroll and already hitting 7s spins see ya soon on the 15s

Thanks!

See you on 15s soon , I will be there whole December likely unless something big happens

Grind today : 6 hours
Total grind: 88 hours

Finished grind for today 6 vs 8 hours. I had life things today that took close to 3 hours. Playing another 2 hour session now would be very -EV for me. So what I will do is rest 30-60 minutes, then remaining of the evening work on passive income streams and maybe even place some bet on basketball before that.

Remaining 30 days, 212 hours left!

Grind today: 8.33 hours
Total grind over 96 hours

Finished the grind and now I can spend 1 hour or so before bed time relaxing with some TV show , 2.5 man likely
Worked out today as well, it was just cardio with 4x500 single rope jumps with 1.5 mins rest between 500 sets. Very happy with that. Nutrition amazing until 8pm or so then pasta + sandwich + 0.5l soda. So over calorie intake but that is due to several stressful things that happened today, that put me over the edge to eat after 8pm.
Today also internet problems. Had to go twice to internet place, in between do recorded call and treaten with a lawsuit. 2nd time around when I went to store they resolved the issue but until Monday. On Monday I will meet manager in the morning. Long story short, I payed in advance internet 6 months, their router didn't work, they called me to exchange it and then when I went to return it they didn't give me power cable and wlan for new router - they claimed that I had that shit home because it was written on the paper that they handed me. Of course thats not true, I am not crazy person, I took the whole bag with cables and router when I was returning it. So I told them to look at camera recordings as I am 100% sure they fucked up. So about 2-3 hours went to that and today I could have easily hit 10 hours grind + training.

For grind, I will keep adding those fractions like from today 0.33 hours. Those in next 29 days will add to a lot of hours and I am making sure to track that as well.

In terms of actual game and play, there are certain things I am super pleased about, some I am still in the dark a bit and there is the middle area where its all smooth and easy. Regardless of it all, today 154 games with 61 cEV and tons of reg games both in the morning and through out the rest of the day. I am positive 2 tabling 15s 70+ cEV is possible and can be made with some off the table work. Since I just set grind until new year, I will fix things through playing but definitely money still left to be made on Stars just the hourly is less of course without RB which sucks big time. So either move up fast and have brutal swings or change game variant/format to CG - that's my advice

See you tomorrow!
