TwiceT made it! 1st engl. community black member

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...

OMG What a fucking awesome post. Seriously, i can feel your mindset after reading this. And it feels fucking awesome ♠_pleased: Thank you ty ty

I just grinded this whole week for 8+hours everyday and was so wasted. Now all my work makes sense.

Just want to add one little thing. Most of people's leaks are wasting his own time, doing nothing. When you realize that and fill in the empty space with useful things, you will become a better person.

Peace :heart:

What can I say, congratz with your achievement and best of luck at the tables
I usually think that not really a lot of videos would make you winning players but you have to be able to realize if you have edges on games and if not then really work a lot with you game and have balls to put money in the pot not as made hands, but also often as a bluff.

Congrats on black!

Really nice post too.

And at least if poker fails for you, im sure it's never to early to put in your application as Daniel Craig's replacement as James Bond.
