Results of May: OK

Hi guys,

i spent one week in Saigon to get my ed-visa and party a little bit, so i was only able to play 20 of the 31 days of this month. Overall i m ok with the results, esp mixing in some 100nl and 25nl tables to keep playing 8-15 tables at the same time.

The aircon and the i.net in my house are now finally fixed and working is way more fun then it was the month before :)


Here are some pics from Vietnam:

 The Crazy Buffalo was one "bar" that was really close to our hotel and you could drink a "Crazy Buffalo" and smoke shisha inside or direct at the street.

 

 At about 1am some drunk idiots managed to flip a motorbike in front of the bar and everybody was staring at them :)

Thats a view from the balcony of my 25$/day hotel-room. The hotel was really nice for that money but all the cars and motorbikes keep honking all the time when they drive on the streets. Its really annoying, esp when u come home drunk at 5am :)

Disappointing truth about my blog-views :(

Hey guys,

at first i was like "weeeeee over 1000 people checked my blog out in the first 2 month". But after i took a closer look where all these people come from i saw that about 20% visit me from a sex-homepage witch links all the people to my page because i can be found under "Pattaya + blog".

Must be really disappointing for these nice guys when they don´t see young naked thai girls posing on a comfy bed.

Left the casiono with over 2 million

Hey guys,

i was the last six days in Saigon to get my ed-visa for Thailand, to see some of the city and go out a few times there. I also gave one medium casino in the city a visit but left after 5 min because there are only slot-machines, computer-roulette and 400nl computer-texas hold´em; therefor i left the casino with the 2.000.000 dong ( thats about 100$ ) i joined it :)

I did not play a single hand of poker in Vietnam and will skip my half-month-review at this month because i played like 8k hands so far

Results of April: bad internet + no aircon :)

Hey guys,

i guess April 2013 was the month with the lowest income in the last 2 years or at least since i left 10nl.

I do not like the fact that i have to blame it on the crappy internet in Thailand, because i should handle situations like that way better than i did in the last few weeks. But it is really annoying playing poker when u got like five disconnects every hour and all your hands get mucked while sitting in a room that got 32 °C because the aircon does not work. I moved down to 25nl to keep my 6500vpp sn-status-goal for pokerstarsand and took the rest of the month off.

This month the aircons are working, the i.net should be fixed soon and i am ready to grind :)

Half of April is done - results: meh

There is not a lot to say about the first two weeks in this month. Had a lot of +10-stack-sessions and a lot of -10-stack-sessions and managed to play a good ammount of hands whenever the i.net allowed me to use the pokerstars-software. Got the feeling that i had not a lot of good spots and almost every session started with only playing 2-4 tables because when i wake up there are only 50k people online at this time.

Meanwhile in Thailand

How to fix a deep hole in the street to my house in Thailand?

- Lets put some chairs in it and the street is good to go for cars and kids can continue playing there!

Thats exactly how i feel people are treating my internet-connection here. On weekends i got a lot of lags and disconnects witch make it really hard to impossible to play; sadly on the best time in the week.

Weak March, low ammount of hands + bad winrate

Hi guys!

I have to say that i had a lot of lag because the internet in Thailand just sucks, the aircon for my big livingroom does not work like it should, so basicly i am sitting all day in a 30 °C room wearing only my underwear while i work. But even with these problems i am really disappointed with my results this month; i only made half the money of an average month.

(average money with rb per month 2012 was 4000$)


After playing the whole February not a single hand of poker, i should normally be motivated to play at least 60k hands with a winrate of 20bb/100+ for the next month; at least that what happend the last two times i came home from my vacation. I know that i have to change a lot of things to come back to my normal game and hopefully i can show u guys some better results in 2 weeks when i give my half-month-report.

House in Thailand vs appartment in Germany

Hi guys, i want to show u some pictures of the house i rented for one year here in Thailand. About 15 month ago i decided to move to Thailand because i only made about 1500$ playing 25nl. I payed about 520$ for my one-room-apartment in germany and now i pay 500$ for the bigger and better house.

I only show u guys a few picutres of my old appartment in Germany because the kitchen and the bathroom are small and not really worth showing, there is also a room in the basement and a parking space i never used :)



The first two pictures are the appartment in Germany, rest is from the house in Thailand:


 

12 days 50nl in .th

I started playing poker in the middle of this month because i rented a house and got my internet working a few days later.After a breakeven-swing at the first two days i returned to my normal game and was able to keep my 12bb/100 up.
Most of my hands were boring abc-poker stuff but i found one spot were i think i could just call the river donk.

Holdem Manager No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed)

lacovo ($78.25)
NicoleOA (BB) ($142)

Preflop: NicoleOA is BB with ,
NicoleOA bets $1.50, lacovo calls $1

Flop: ($3) , , (2 players)
lacovo checks, NicoleOA bets $2.50, lacovo raises to $7, NicoleOA calls $4.50

Turn: ($17) (2 players)
lacovo checks, NicoleOA bets $14, lacovo calls $14

River: ($45) (2 players)
lacovo bets $15, NicoleOA raises to $71, 1 fold

Total pot: $75 | Rake: $0.30

I know about him that he is a 24tabling fishreg from china with a 8% (15 situations 2-3handed) fold to cbet who plays really bad. Pre and turn are standard, i also might reraise the flop because he got so many crap in his range, but i decided to call because the fd made more calling hands possible. His riverdonk looks so weak that i pushed for value because i think he got more ofthen trips than a flush or fullhouse witch he cant fold.
