Hey Community :f_drink:

My name is Christian from Germany. I am 32 years old and decided this weekend to give my poker career a serious try.

First of all: I know my english isn't that good. So please be patient ;>

I started playing online poker in 2006. Had a few up's and down's like everyone of us. Became an break-even NL50/NL100 reg, who manged to generate some good profit from rakeback. Due to working issues i quit online poker in 2012. I am sometimes playing homegames or in casino but not regular.

Now, with more time ... no girlfriend, better work, I feel ready to give it a serious try to create a living out of it.

Why I am Here?

:spade: Playing with a plan is always better than without, and to share it ... helps to follow it.
:heart: Create contacts. I am always interested in good conversations, and talking about poker stuff.
:diamond: I want to learn. Playing is a good way to learn, but there is much you can too beside of it. Like being here ;>
:club: Poker playing and grinding ... is sometimes boring. I think this could be a good variety, and helps to keep my mind clean.

Where do I want to go?

As you can read in Topic I got a clear target: NL5-200.
Starting again one week ago ... it was quite a big desaster. Tried my best in NL25, and went on Tilt :P

To be honest my poker isn't that good as before and my pokermind too.
My financial situation is very stable, but I decided to begin from low ... in order to learn the game, get back some experience that is lost, and fight my way back to the top ;>

So my starting BR is 100$ ---- Target 5000$

Let's give it a try - together - and see where we can go :)
Of course I make updates here, I would be glad if you join me.

I would normally bet Turn to protect, giving SB a FD, but had a bad feeling ... :f_confused:

Welcome back. If you were playing on NL50/100, then you should beat the micros in no time, literally. The player pool is now softer than ever. The graph shows its going well so far :f_biggrin:

Good luck and I am always open for poker discussion :f_drink:

Couldn't sleep and decided to start a late-night-session ...

Biggest achievements:

Playing K4o, believing its AKo, and still winning the hand in showdown :f_ugly:
Folding Nutstraight on Flop on rainbowboard :sifflote:

1,5k hands, 1 Stack down .... :censored: wasn't my best idea :fouet:
