2013 Review

Hi guys,

i would prefer to bring the review earlier but i had to find a day were i m in the mood for a rather long post and not be hangover.

-2013 goals:

[ X ] Moving to Thailand and find a place to live and work
[    ] Play good poker
[ X ] Take shots at higher limits and move up
[    ] Clear Supernova

 I m really happy that i found a nice house and am able to work without bigger problems. I saw a few people, esp from America after black Friday, who moved to Canada or other countries and just fucked up their mindset or whatever; moved down a few limits and basically never found back to their old game. This was my biggest fear i faced before leaving Germany where i lived my whole life up to this point.

On the other hand, my results at the tables are really bad compared to the years before. I made overall about half the money i made in 2012 but also had more free time i spent very well. Back in Germany i got a lot of time to play poker because there was not a lot to do for a guy who got his hobby as job. The really hot weather in Thailand combined with a failing aircondition plus a crappy internet made me tilt a lot and resulted into some timeouts and a lower winrate.




Supernova...

Well, i fucked up. I only play poker when i m in the mood and really feel like playing A-game. I took some weeks and even a few months off and was not able to make 100k vpp at the end of the year. In my eyes its not a big loss since only about 18% of my overall-income comes from rakeback; but still, working as a pokerplayer as only job on 50nl+ and not clearing supernova is more than weak.

Graph of 2013:

Overall i got mixed feelings about 2013. On the one side life is good and i m enjoying every day of it, on the other side my results are really crappy. My plan for the next months will be to put more effort into my work and to improve my game (like every goal in every other year-review i guess) :)
