circumstances have changed abit I thought I post a new update since a
bunch of guys are still following here.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">After the latest lockdown in the
Philippines I decided to leave the country I currently consider home
and basically spent the last couple of years in with destination
Dubai. Given the looming Delta variant I was basically waiting for
this to happen so when everything was announced I had a good week or
so left to make a decision and get the fuck out for good (for now).
<br />Overall Manila has been mostly ok during the last 18 months but
for me the uncertainty and always returning lockdown just have been
abit too much and all this also took a big toll on my physical and
mental wellbeing so that escape was the only valid option in this
case. While most of the stuff I usually do was possible you needed to
have appointments if going to gym or pool, gym was closed on and off
for a long time, constant nightly curfew in place etc etc. For a
person like me who values freedom higher than life itself a situation
like this becomes bothersome after a while.<br />Now they introd
another full on lockdown with gyms closed for at least 2 weeks but in
reality probably much longer and there latest gimmick is them even
forbidden you to go running outside. You can take alot away from me
but once you take sport I wont play ball anymore.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So after the lockdown announcement I
was fully expecting all this to go into effect and basically took
another 2 days to make a decision and book my one way to Dubai. I
wasn't very interested to spend time this summer somewhere in the
EUssr and since Dubai so far seem to have had a very solid approach
with covid with most freedoms still intact it was a logical choice.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Plan for immediate future is to spend
4-6weeks here, then visit my parents which I havent seen in over 2
years (and they also aint getting any younger) and then come back
here for another couple of months and also secure permanent residency
and look into real estate options. Probably not looking to return
into Manila before they got their shit together which may very well
take a long time given how things are going...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">My overall goal still is to put the
elusive trifecta into place where I have property in 3 countries
combined with solid visas so I can live 4 months a year in each place
w/o getting bored and also have options to escape to when one
place/country turns to shit. I recently bought a villa in Bali which
will be finished end of this year so only thing missing is a Dubai
flat but Indonesia all things considered is probably even in a worse
situation with covid so that I realistically dont see myself living
in that aquired villa anytime soon either.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">While health wise things havent been
great for the last 18 months business wise things have been
outstanding so that in all of this madness I performed very well.
Noteworthy is the moment I arrived in Dubai I am already feeling much
better than I have felt in Manila for a long time and I hope it stays
this way.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In Dubai I am grinding Airbnbs now for
the next couple of weeks, testing alot of restaurants, alot of
tanning and will also work some.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Overall I like this city alot but it
became quite abit more expensive compared to how I remember it from
2013 when I visited last. The district I live in Manila probably the
most expensive across all PH but in Dubai can easily expect to put
another 50% on top of the bill and I am speaking normal casual
places, nothing fancy. However the service and efficiency you get in
return is outstanding and probably seen nowhere else in the world.
Everybody who works here is very well trained in what they do, staff
is always polite, fast and highly effective. Things you value alot
when german blood flows through your veins.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A good example of this is the arrival
in Dubai. I needed one negative PCR 72 hours before flight and once
you arrive at the airport they do another swab. Was zero waiting time
for business class and 4.5 laters you got the result during breakfast
in the hotel. No need to quarantine for 10-14 days like in most asian
countries now which is another one those useless policies that have
been implemented. If you test negative before flight and if you test
negative after flight and if you test negative 3 days in quarantine
it's highly unlikely or outright impossible that you start testing
positive on day 10 during quarantine. But in the end it's at the
discretion of each country how they handle things and the most damage
they do with retarded policies is to their own economy so who am I to
judge.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I usually know alot of people in Dubai
but during summer nobody is here because it's just too hot. At night
it doesnt go below 33degrees usually and daytime is always 40-44 so
the main things you can do is be somewhere inside or find a spot at
the pool. Still alot better though than being locked into my cage
allowed one grocery run / day in Manilly these days. In regards to
covid it's fairly easy to get in from most countries and masks are
mandatory everywhere even though outdoor nobody really cares and
theres also no enforcement.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Lastly to sum this up wanna make some
promotion for my crypto telegram channel again (which is getting
pretty good feedback so far). It's free and will always stay free and
I share important news and developments within the
cryptosphere:<br /><br /><a href="https://t.me/CryptoPlaybook">https://t.me/CryptoPlaybook</a><br /><br />I
basically switched to working full time in crypto with the start of
covid and it has served me well so far. I am still convinced if you
don't have any exposure to this space you are making the mistake of a
lifetime but in the end it's obviously your own decision. In short if
you dont hold any BTC or any ETH you are reckless and will probably
be punished for this financially over the next decade. I even got my
76yo old father at a point now where he will probably buy a small
stack of GBTC. As a disclaimer this is not financial advice and
should not be taken as such but go buy some BTC, never ever sell with
a loss and consider holding it for 10 years as a private retirement
plan ;)</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So long, TimStone out!</p>

I didn't travel, I didn't party and as a nice sideeffect I basically stopped drinking alcohol entirely which is more an accident though than a planned decision but my big drinking days are over anyways since I'm an old man (caught in a young boys body) now :(</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't want to dive deep into Covid but I still think I have to write a word or two:<br />The situation here is fairly relaxed for a while now especially compared to the shenenigans across the western world. We went into a pretty heavy lockdown fairly early which lasted around 6 weeks and then they started to very slowly ease restrictions. For instance inside dining and gyms here were way longer closed than anywhere else in the world I think (gyms probably were closed a good 6 months). Now basically everything apart from nightclubs is open. You obviously still have the mask mandates (and here also additional faceshield mandates in many places) but apart from that life is fairly normal. </div><div>That being said we also have the advantage of always having summer and an average age of 25 across the Philippines so there is only so much damage this virus can do even though health infrastructure in most parts of the country isn't on par with western countries.</div><div><br />If you are currently struggling because of lockdowns especially financially I can only recommend that you invest the freetime they "gave" you in building side hustles & businesses. Think about what you want, how you wanna make money, etc. I see alot of people way too dependent on one source of income and if this gets shut down by crooked governments, force of nature or black swans they are entirely rekt. Yes, I know this isn't easy and this will take time but you will have alot more piece of mind going forward. When Covid hit I knew that my real estate stuff will tank but I also knew my other endeavours would do very well because of it. If you just rely on one industry and one source of income you will always get problems throughout your life because of this!<br /><br />But enough about Covid.<br /><br />I haven't played poker myself for quite a while now but am still involved in the affiliate side of things. I built a small condo portfolio in Metro Manila which I want to grow further and throughout the last year I made crypto my main focus. So those are the 3 main pillars I'm currently focussing on. Even though real estate took a hit the other 2 did well as I already said before.</div><div>I also established a telegram channel where I post about crypto from time to time so if this is an area which is interesting for you (and I strongly recommend you to make it an area you are interested in!) you can subscribe here:<br /><br /><a href="https://t.me/joinchat/RxIvt358l5h39zfi">https://t.me/joinchat/RxIvt358l5h39zfi<br /></a><br />While Covid sucked for alot of people it definitely was a blessing in disguise for online poker and casinos which definitely popped off due to this. It's only logical if half the world is forced to be home that decent amount of those people will flock to online poker due to boredom. But most people weren't that "lucky".</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the main drivers for me to go and live in the Philippines was the real estate situation in Manila. My goal was to start building a portfolio which worked out nicely so far that I have my own 1br now, 2 studios that are ready and one rented out and another 2 studios which should be turned over to me in the first quarter 2021 which will be rented out as well going forward. Depending on how condo prices develop and how crypto develops I might consider buying some more throughout the second half of the year but still some time to go until I will think abit more about this.</div><div><br /></div><div>Alot of people ask me when I will go back to Europe and the short answer is NEVER. Surely I will visit the EUssr from time to time once the covid situation is abit clearer but I absolutely have no intention to be based in Europe again at least for the foreseeable future. I think that over time only Manila will get boring for me so I intend to split time between here and Bali once the situation eases up. Midterm Dubai is also on my list for a part-time residences but in order for that I would want to be fully removed from poker which won't happen anytime too soon but will happen eventually! In the end the trifecta Manila-Bali-Dubai sounds pretty tempting to me and shouldn't get boring in this lifetime :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly fitness-wise it's same old same old. I'm currently on 95% carnivore diet and it's going pretty nicely, 2 days gym, 1 day cardio (swim and run alternating) without any rest days.</div><div><br /></div><div>We`ll see if I keep up with blogging from time to time,</div><div><br /></div><div>rgds from Manilly</div><div><br /></div><div>PS: some pictures of the different units attached</div><div><br /></div><div>my own enduse flat:<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Long time no see!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As you may have realized this blog is
almost dead but I might blog once a bluemoon if there is a topic I
consider interesting and wanna write about. Also since I'm doing more
real estate related stuff I may create a blog around that topic at a
later time maybe if I feel like it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This post will elaborate on two
questions I get alot lately and which have some relevance to
pokerplayers and digital nomads in particular:<br />
<br />
"Why are
you in Manila?"</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
"What is better, Bangkok or
Manila?"</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
First one is fairly simple to answer –
because I feel good here and see alot of potential. Second one is
abit more tricky and I honestly think there is no clear answer and it
depends alot on personal preference and alot of other factors. I will
try to point out similarities and differences going forward.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
At first glance:<br />
<br />
Both cities are
major asian capitals and when you look at them out of the plane they
look similar as well: lots of skyscrapers and concrete which make
almost any euro city look like a fucking village. If you take a
closer look though they are quite different in alot of aspects.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tourism/Language/People:<br />
<br />
Bangkok
ist one of the major tourist hubs worldwide I would say while
Manila is far from that :)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you tell someone who has never been to
Manila that you are in Manila their first reaction almost always is:
"Isn't it dangerous there???". I don't think anybody ever
reacted that way when I talked about being in Bangkok. The statement
itself probably isn't that wrong depending on which area in Manila
you choose it can get unsafe while in Bangkok you can go pretty much
anywhere without worrying too much. I think main reason for this is
due to Thailand overall being alot richer than Philippines (as of
now) and alot of the crime that occurs happening due to people need
to survive somehow. However from what I heard it improved alot since
Duterte is in charge of the running the show even though there are still
some areas which should be avoided particularily at night.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
While Bangkok you see tons of
foreigners at every street corner almost no matter where you roam in
the city in Manila it can easily happen that you are the only white person in a large shopping mall – there are still alot less expats living
here longterm and tourists on average stay maybe 1 night in the city
before they fly to their island destinations. It's understandable
though because in Bangkok there is just more stuff to do as a
tourist.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Another big aspect for living in a
foreign country is language and your ability to interact with people
which is one of the biggest advantages the Philippines and
particularily Manila holds at this point. You would need to look
really hard in Manila to find a person under 50 with whom you cannot
have a conversation in english. Conversely it will be incredibly hard
to find a taxi driver in Bangkok who speaks english at all. This fact
alone is worth so much and makes life so much easier that it's just a
massive advantage for Philippines over Thailand in general. If you
are a pokerplayer all this doesn't have too much weight because you
aren't so dependant on other people but since I'm now more involved
in realestate you need to work with alot of different locals
(brokers, insurance agents, cleaners, lawyers, tenants, etc) and it's
alot easier if you know all those people almost independant on their
personal backgrounds speak fluent english.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I think this is also one of the points
I'm more fond of the locals in Manila simply because you can interact
with them on a different level. From what I experienced here the
locals are alot more open and friendly towards foreigners and I think
one of the main reasons for this is that you don't have the language
barrier.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
City structure/Traffic:<br />
<br />
I said
that from above both cities look similar but on the ground they look
very different and have a different structure.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Bangkok I would say looks similar
almost anywhere you go. There is a brandnew superluxurious highrise,
next to it are some street vendors, you can see 2 beggars sitting
around, there are some potholes in the street and it smells. It's
like this pretty much in any district you go and you will know "this
is Bangkok where I am".<br />
Manila is different in a way that it
has small to larger townships all over the city which are highly
urbanized and absolutely highend with no smell, no street vendors, no
beggars, no potholes and alot of highrises all brandnew and right
next to it you have a slums with tin shacks which basically can't be
found on that level in Bangkok at all. I haven't researched this
topic but I would expect that wealth inequality is alot higher in
Manila compared to Bangkok.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If I would give you a blindfold and fly
you to Bangkok and then take it off you would know directly where you
are or could narrow it down quite well. If I'd do the same and fly
you to my area in Manila there is no way you would guess this is
Manila if you haven't been here before because the picture the media
has given you will be very different from how it actually can look
like.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Traffic is bad in both cities but in
Bangkok if you live close to the skytrain you can be all over the
city in 15 to 30 minutes. In Manila at this point still public
transport is non-existant and you are almost forced to live where you
work unless you want to spend 3 hours of your precious day in a
traffic jam. Even shortest distances at the wrong time can be an
absolute nightmare. Luckily if you decided on a nice district you
basically never have to leave unless you want to go to the airport or
for some nightly entertainment in another part of the city.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Which city is better? Alot of this
comes down to personal preference again. Bangkok gives you a much
more authentic feel while alot of the upscale neighbourhoods in
Manila are quite artificial. I still prefer the 2<sup>nd</sup> option
but there might be alot of people who would think of my current
neighbourhood as "too sterile, too clean, too artificial".</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Food & Nightlife:<br />
<br />
I put
those two together because it's an easy win for Bangkok in both
categories. The thai food in general is just so much better than any
filipino food can ever be no matter how good the chef is (sorry my
fellow pinoys). Just look around the world and you will even find
very good thai restos in smaller german towns while it will be a
challenge to find a filipino restaurant in bigger german cities –
there are reasons for that.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Luckily for me you can get alot of
western and foreign food in both cities as well. However Bangkok has
some restaurants which you just wont find in Manila yet –
settingwise and also quality wise. It should be considered that
Bangkok also as a steep markup on those so the money you spend on
food in Manila will be alot less than you spend for the same in
Bangkok! Situation is improving though in Manila and food and
delivery options are already alot better than when I set boots on the
ground for the first time around two years ago. Another problem here
is that the filipinos love fast food more than life itself as it
seems so that you have an intense amount of outright disgusting
fastfood options which cannot be found in Bangkok in that number. How
this manifests can be seen if you roam around the cities and compare
the physiques of locals ;)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Nightlife I don't have to spend too many
words on. There is just alot more to do in Bangkok with alot more
variety. Be it bars or clubs it doesn't matter. Bangkok is one of the
nightlife capitals of the world still and while Manila isn't bad
don't get me wrong it cannot compete with Bangkok in any way in this
category unfortunately.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Cost of living:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
I never really
look at prices too closely but Manila overall will be a decent amount
cheaper in this area compared to Bangkok. How much I really couldn't
say but there is a bunch of online calculators who can give you
percentages. One of the main issues is that the thai baht continues
to get stronger vs the USD while the peso loses value. This goes on
for a long time now so when you make your money in euro or usd Manila
will get cheaper over time while Bangkok is getting more and more
expensive. This goes to a level now where some of the Thailand expats
facing the problem of not being able to afford the country anymore.
But there is good news for them the Philippines will welcome them
with open arms! However one thing being said: If you wanna live a
certain lifestyle it will be expensive in both cities, actually it
will be expensive almost independant on where you go from my
experience. But if you live on a budget I would assume that this will
be easier to do in Manila especially given how the currencies
developed and how they continue to develop.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Staying longterm as a foreigner/visa
situation:<br />
<br />
While staying longterm in Thailand was always a
pain in the ass it's a walk in the park in the Philippines. Even if
you don't have much money you can just constantly extend your tourist
visa and basically never leave the country. The process is quick and
efficient and at one point they even give you 6 months extension so
you really don't have to do this often. The only annoying thing is if
you stay longer than 6 months in the country you will require a
police clearance that they let you leave which is easy to get though (if you
weren't involved in criminal activity) but takes some time and
driving around which makes it abit annoying.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In Thailand however they make it as
hard and as annoying as possible if you wanna stay longterm. You
constantly have to go in and out of the country to get new visa, you
have to report to them now when you travel even within Thailand and
all kinds of this bullshit – and it seems to get worse and worse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you aren't living from paycheck to
paycheck there are more convenient options for both countries but
again the Philippines is alot better here.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you are 35 years or older all you
have to do is park 20k usd in a filipino bank, fill out some
documents and you basically have a lifelong visa for the country. If
you leave you notify them and they will give you back your 20k. If
you are under 35 there is a way to do this as well which is some sort
of investor visa but it involves alot more paper work and actual
investments i think – it isn't a big problem though because as
being said you can pretty much stay indefinite on a tourist visa
without much hassle at all.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In Thailand if you don't want to go
through the constant visa runs you have the choice to aquire the
thailand elite visa which gives you 5 years for around 15k usd i
think. That money you don't get back though ;)<br />
Fairly easy to see
which country is better suited for expats in this area.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Overall thoughts on both
countries/potentials/politics:<br />
<br />
Thailand essentially still has
the same army general in power which got in power when I was living
there while the Philippines have Duterte. Even though this guy
doesn't get alot of good press in the western media and some of his
methods are questionable the stuff this guy does clearly works and
the vast majority of the population supports him mainly because they
see that things are getting better. If Thailand is alot better of
than 10 years ago I'm not so sure about, the Philippines are
defintitely alot better of than they were back then.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Personally I'm basically long on the
Phillipines as long as Duterte pulls the strings and I hope for a
similarily minded predecessor. Why?<br />
Both countries are fairly similar
– they both have insane islands, they share the same climate,
people seem to have similar mindsets, the capitals aren't too
different yet Philippines has half the GDP of Thailand. On top of
that the Phillipines is open to Casinos & Online Gaming (which
guarantees a fuckload of chinese investments) and everybody speaks
english.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now if you think about all this either
Thailand has to be overvalued or Philippines undervalued. The english
alone I think should make it more valuable for business and
investments than anything else so I expect alot of room for the
country to continue to grow given that politics stay stable.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So even though realestate yields are
good in both countries (still) I expect alot more room to grow for
the Phillipines going forward while first reports already coming in
that real estate demand in Bangkok is tightening up (i think this is
also related to the strong development of the baht).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Please don't nail me on that assessment
– i did not put deep research into it but it seems logical to me.
I'm very open to counterarguments though if you are more knowledgable
in that area!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Conclusion:
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
I think it's mostly personal
preference for which of the 2 cities or even countries you decide.
Bangkok and Manila are both fun but there is no definite way to say which is better per se.
If you are in your 20s and you like to party alot Bangkok might be
better; if you want to play livepoker and live in an asian capital
Manila is your choice, if you want to live on an island longterm you
need to choose Thailand for now because the infrastructure just isn't
here yet, if you want to invest into condos I'm convinced Manila is a
better option than Bangkok atm, etc.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As you can see there are alot of
different scenarios and what is ultimatively best best for me might not be best for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
What about me?:<br />
<br />
I'm
not playing poker actively anymore but am still involved in the
industry in the form of staking and affiliation. I'm still holding on
to and buying crypto because I expect good things to happen. I just
bought my first studio unit in Manila and have already reserved two
more units which are getting finished next year. I'm also looking to
buy a nice flat for enduse next year so that I get away from being a
rent payer. My longterm goal is to entirely move from poker into
realestate over the next couple of years. It's something which
facinates me and gives me joy and also alot of skills aquired via
poker and trading can be directly applied into it. As I said at the
beginning of this post I might consider blogging more with a
focus on realestate going forward – if there is a demand!</div>

After Bali I spent some time in my old hood Bangkok and also went to Kuala Lumpur for the first time. There wasn't cracy much happening so I'm not sure if I will write a dedicated blog post about those 2 destiniations. Now as being mentioned im in Seoul for another couple of days and probably writing something about this one at a later point in time but for now it's going to be about my first stay in Cambodia.<br />
<br />
My plan for Cambodia was to stay in a small beachtown called Sihanoukville for a couple of days and then move to Siem Reap for 2 days where one of the worlds biggest temples is located.<br />
In the end it was poor planning from my part and I rather would've spent more time in SR and less time in SV but since it was my first time in Cambo I was obviously quite clueless what to expect. Cannot recall that I've ever been in a country where I hated one place so much while absolutely loving the other but will elaborate on this moving forward!<br />
<br />
I managed to score a direct flight from KL which is only like 45minutes and arrived in Sihanoukville at the airport around noon on the 18th. Small and chaotic airport and upon arriving I realized that as a "westerner" I need to buy a visa. Every other guy seemed to be prepared having US dollars ready but while me only having some malaysian currency. Also no atm or money changer in sight so I managed to convince some russian kid that I'm not trying to scam him and gave him a pretty good rate for the 30usd I needed to get the visa sorted. At this point I already know this stay would be interesting.<br />
Took a taxi to my hotel and went for an ATM where I tried to withdraw 2million of the local currency which didn't work and 1million didn't work either. After 5minutes I realized that this machine was only giving US Dollar so I went for 400usd which worked. Quite interesting that the first time I would ever get my hands on USD would be in Cambodia :) Went straight to the hotel afterwards where I had booked the best room pretty much but after checking in I realized they gave me a smaller room. All my bitching didn't help much because some middle man between Agoda and the hotel screwed up but at least I might get some of my money back and the room wasn't that bad overall and it was only for a couple of days.<br />

Started grinding trip advisor in the afternoon and probably the worst I've ever seen - there just aren't any good restaurants - period! Top 5 spots are some decent italians but I don't wanna eat Pizza and Pasta all fucking week...<br />
<br />
Overall this is still proper 3rd world shit down there. Roads are insane, there are very few taxis, you do everything with tuktuk etc. Sihanoukville is pretty much a mix of western backpackers and chinese tourists who come there for the Casinos. The town has like 80k people or so and I kid you not, 30++ fucking Casinos and they are building like crazy (mostly new Casino complexes). Last night I tried to get sneaky and eat in Casino restaurant at the beach but food was shit as well. Also staff wasn't speaking a word of english - I think I was the first western tourist who ever came there.<br />
<br />
Weather was very hot but raining quite abit as well and in Sihanoukville itself there isn't much to do apart from laying at the beach or grinding the Casinos which wasn't really what I signed up for.<br />
So to kill time I went to a shooting range one day which was good fun but also 70usd for 30 fucking bullet with an AK47.<br />

Given how poor the country is it's actually fairly expensive. You end up spending alot of money on transportation because nothing is close and the tuktuks aren't as cheap as Manila taxis for instance. Food is reasonably cheap wherever you go but I rather would like to spend abit more here and get good food in return.<br />

I already expected that SH might be shit so I booked a very nice private island resort for one day to get out. This was indeed very nice but also very very overpriced and while the food was better than in town for those prices I would've expected alot more (they sold pizza for 25usd which is just nuts - we still in Cambodia ffs!). The villa though was absolutely topnotch and since I spent most my time in there I wont complain too much. Resort was on a small island which took me about 40minutes to reach by speedboat:<br />

On the island itself wasn't much happening but I just wanted to relax anyways because I already was on fairly big tilt mainly due to the abysimal food situation in SV. It also doesn't help coming from a Bali trip where alot of restaurants belong to the best I have seen so far.<br />
<br />
After 4 days everything finally came to an end and I could leave SV for SR. Rarely was this happy to get away from some place. Already lowered my expectation for Siem Reap but boy was I wrong again. Siem Reap already was interesting before I even went there because I have never seen a place with this many high quality hotels. I literally had like 5 different hotels on my shortlist and the rooms where all insane for less than 250usd/night. In the end I managed to do the right thing and I booked the one with the best reviews which was a brilliant decision: Jaya River House. I didn't know by this time but I found out later that they are the number1 rated hotel on tripadvisor for ENTIRE ASIA. Hands down I have never stayed at a place this good, not even close. If all hotels would be like this I would never stay in an Airbnb again.<br />
Got picked up at the airport with fruitplatter, cold towels and a girl who was explaining abit more about the hotel during our ride from the airport.<br />
Basically they run their hotel like I would run my hotel. When you get there you can choose your welcome drink, or 2 or 3, whatever the fuck you feel like. You can order espresso to the room they don't charge you. You can do your laundry with them - FOR FREE! I gave them 20 items and had them back 3 hours later. Fully stocked minibar - free of charge. Tuktuk which can drive you around all day - free of charge. On the day I moved out my flight was at 10pm and instead of kicking me out at noon like every other hotel they moved me to a smaller room where I again had a fully stocked mini bar free of charge. Hotel is incredibly nice and well done too, the room was absolutely sick.<br />

As you probably can tell by my writing I'm still facinated by the place and I will probably go back there at a certain point in time mainly just to spend some time in the hotel and relax. Absolutely incredible experience!<br />
In the evening went for a very nice steakhouse which had an absolutely impeccable service as well. Siem Reap is just the complete opposite of everything SV was. City had a completely different vibe from the getgo. Unfortunately I had only 1.5 days there which really pissed me off.<br />
<br />
On the 2nd day I went early to Angkor Wat to see the sunrise and afterwards to another jungle temple. Had a very nice tour guide I got recommended by a friend and for the case Siem Reap is on your list I can only advice you to reach out to him (via me) and also stay in the same hotel I stayed.<br />

Arrived with brilliant weather and moved into the villa which would be my home for the next 2 weeks. The good thing with Bali is that there are shittons of small villas with decent sized pools for fairly good prices. If you rent something like a 2bedroom villa with pool for longterm you get them starting around 1.5k usd/month which isn't so bad compared to what you get in Europe for that price.<br />

I think this was my 4th time in Bali now after living here for 6months back in the day and alot of stuff has changed quite abit. When i was living here it was mainly during wet season and I can only suggest to avoid this as good as you can. Traffic was always bad but it has become even worse now. However they have alot of motorbike taxis now which decrease your travel time (and life expectancy) by quite abit so it doesn't matter too much... Food and service did improve quite abit as well since I was gone - especially if you coming from Manila where restaurants overall are just a disaster you are in heaven here once you land because everything is just on an entirely different level. Definitely had some of the best breakfast meals I had in my life here and I really don't know if there are many destinations worldwide where you get this quality of food for those prices. Indo currency took a huge dive since 2014 that overall things probably became cheaper if you make your money in USD or Euro while quality increased - I'm not easily impressed but here i really really was impressed often.<br />
Also some smart Harward guys decided to do a company for Indonesia like Uber only better. Imagine you can order everything: Massage? They send a bike! Cleaner? They send a bike with a cleaner! Groceries? They buy... Food? They bring. And so on. You can literally order anything besides hard drugs to your villa with that company and they are quick... I tried to browse the restaurants participating and I couldn't scroll through the entire list because it's just to fucking long. When I wanted to order food in 2014 I had a big magazine and had to call the restaurants directly while being able to choose from 10 restos or so - what a difference! Also noteworthy that internet improved alot, way higher speed and more reliable compared to back then when we had to get our own connection built to the villa to at least get 4Mbit... It's reasonable though since Bali is becoming more and more a hub for digital nomads. I'm also getting very interested to do some property stuff here because I cannot see how you aren't making money renting out a nice villa in a good spot here - definitely will look more into this and what options I have... Just so many spots here popping off: new restaurants, companies, beach clubs everywhere, just incredible!<br />
<br />
Overall I didn't do too much stuff while here (also was air con sick a couple of days which didn't help) - all the sights I pretty much already visited back in the day so it was mostly lazying around the pool and enjoying good food every day after that 5months hiatus! For an espresso lover like me there are also some of the best spots you can wish for - coffee here is just insane and if you should ever find yourself in a Starbucks in Bali I can tell you that you lost control over your life and please delete me on social media because I don't wanna be friends with you - thanks very much!<br />
<br />
Independant of that I took it pretty easy here I liked it alot overall which lead to my decision to most likely leave Europe end August and come back here in September for 6 weeks or so, rent a nice villa, do alot of sports, clean eating and maybe abit of detoxing. There isn't really much which keeps me in Europe after August and I really want to spend some more time here - it's also peakseason in september while weather in Manila is still crap so I like my plan.<br />
<br />
If you have never been to Bali I can only urge you to give it a shot but you probably should go at the very least for 2 weeks because everything else is just too short. Especially if you make your money in a "decent" currency it offers incredible value at the moment.<br />
<br />
Not much else to say. Business is going great, Crypto could moon abit moar but what you gonna do? I'll be on the road for another 4 weeks now and flying to KL tomorrow to visit my australian ex roomate for a day and then it's time for Bangkok and Songkran which is the Thai New Year where everybody is getting wet! Main goals here are models and bottles, making it rain alot and avoid nice ladyboys as good as I can... Haven't been in Thailand since I left in 2015 so gonna be interesting to see if/how things changed. From the looks of it I will be with myself and I, so if you are around and wanna go for party just holla!<br /><br />peaze<br />

(for now)Since my time in Manila is coming to an end and my last post and the return of the blog was received with great interest (obviously) here we go again!<br />
<br />
When I left Europe end of october my plan was to check out Manila until NYE and then move my shit to Bangkok most likely. It's mid march now and I'm still grinding Manila - so what happend?!<br />
Actually it's quite easy, I really really like it here. If you like asian cities and you know where to live within Manila I don't think there are many better places when it comes to lifestyle (at least when it comes to my lifestyle). 3gyms, 3pools, countless restaurants and coffee shops - all within 5minute reach. Supermodern and nice, yet pricey flats, decent service, alot of green areas and parks and a variety of bars and nightclubs at your doorstep. This sums up where I'm currently residing in Bonifacio Global City. Manila so far isn't very famous around expats and the backpackers avoid it like the plague (thankfully) but if you are fairly flexible in choosing your residence I can only recommend you to check it out here for a month and see how you like it!<br />
Weather is pretty seasonal which means that it was very rainy end of last year and got alot better with the start of this year. Temperatures are always same same though around 30degrees so unless you plan to spend alot of time in casinos there isn't any need to bring a longsleeve or a jacket.<br />
<br />
For the most part i stayed in Manila BGC during the last 5 months with 2 short holidays visiting the islands:<br />
I went with a group of spaniards to Boracay for NYE which was good but the weather was the nutworst I have seen here in all 5 months and if you are on an island and it's raining pretty much 24/7 it's just not optimal. Also mass tourism is getting the best of it so if you want a nice and clean beach experience there are probably better options than Boracay (my boy Duterte even thinks of shutting it down for a while to recover) but if you wanna go on a one week bender Boracay will be your place for sure ;)<br />

My 2nd holiday took me to El Nido or better said a small private island in front of El Nido called "Pangalusian Island" at the end of january. Was expensive as fuck and overall definitely very good but probably noteworthy that for the price I paid for those couple of days you would get a little more bang for your buck in a similar place in Thailand. Definitely would go again though! Nature is still intact here and given the high pricetag there won't be too many people you have to share the island with.<br />
Had a pretty nice treehouse villa here and after spending two incredibly relaxing days on this island I went to another resort in El Nido Town. Already a huge difference because you go from nice and quiet to full on backpacking united. Arguably El Nido itself is still in much better condition than Boracay for instance but probably will go down the same road in future if they don't change some stuff. Was fairly interesting though to see small private eco-friendly island vs. main island where nobody gives a fuck...<br />

Only 2 short holidays in 5 months isn't too crazy but my aim was to travel alot before going back to Europe for summer so I didn't wanna overdo it.<br />
In general Philippines have a near infinite amount of islands and alot of those are up and coming but not as overran by tourists already like Boracay or El Nido town so I recommend you to check them out but to some research beforehand to find something nice.<br />
<br />
Gonna celebrate my 30th bday on the 27th of march and going on a 6 weeks travel tour around Asia which I will probably call the #fuckbackpacking tour. You can expect that hashtag to be trending at a certain point in future if my calculations are correct!<br />
Schedule will look like this:<br />
27.3-10.4: Bali<br />
10.4-12.4: Kuala Lumpur<br />
12.4-17.4: Bangkok for Songkran<br />
17.4-18.4: KL part 2<br />
18.4-22.4: Sihanoukville<br />
22.4-23.4: Siem Reap for Ankor Wat<br />
24.4-02.5: Seoul<br />
02.5.-07.5: Shanghai<br />
--- back to Vienna from Shanghai<br />
<br />
If you are in one of the places I'm going to I'm always keen to meet up, have a coffee, night out or whatever so just let me know! I also might update abit more frequently especially from the places I haven't been before so maybe we get some traction on the good ol blog again!<br />
<br />
Besides all this I worked quite abit over the last couple of months and things are going fairly well. My main pillars at the moment are still poker & crypto. I don't really grind much myself anymore but am more on the affiliating side of things (alot less swingy) and in regards to crypto I'm trying to get more and more involved with good ICOs. If you wanna have an invite to my announcement group just drop me a message.<br />
Looking at Bitcoin & co. overall I already said that I expect it to go down to 8k or maybe even 5k when other people still talked about the moon and lambos. My stance on this hasn't changed, I expect 5k before we attempting any new highs. Take note that this is personal opinion and not financial advice!<br />

Why do I think we need 5k and we will go this direction? There was a massive breakout mid october 17 through 5k and this area was never tested again. Trading instruments almost always come back to those points and "test" them. After all I have seen from cryptos so far they behave in a similar way to traditional instruments (like stocks or indices) even though alot more exaggerated.<br />
Also noteworthy that when Bitcoin is doing bad all other coins doing bad in general as well so if my 5k prediction is somewhat correct it would be advisable to be very cautious in regards to buying any other coin until BTC hits that 5k.<br />
<br />
Plans for the rest of the year?<br />
I'm quite sure now that my time in Vienna will come to an end very soon. Those 6 months in Asia were pretty much a test run for me to see if I want to move my shit back here and I can affirm that I want to! Probably will get rid of my flat as soon as I'm back in Vienna and then spend 3-4months in Malta where i just have better weather and more action compared to being located in Vienna. End of the year I most likely will return to Manila, get a nice flat and make this my main residence spending 70% of the year here and the rest in Europe during euro summer or possibly even somewhere else in Asia to not get too bored of being in one place all the time. If I go ahead with this plan I probably have to get rid of the car as well because it doesn't make too much sense keeping it for 3-4months/year but maybe I find a workaround for this, we'll see. (doing stuff which makes sense isn't always one of my strongsuits...) Over the next years I also consider getting involved in realestate and building my own Airbnb empire but this is probably a story for another day...<br />
<br />
As usual, at the end of a post some more pictures. No graph today but I can assure you I'm doing ok. And if a bloke like me is doing ok you can/could do to! Just have to put in some work and run good when it counts ;)<br />
<br />
peaze!<br />
<br />
PS: I'm always looking for highly motivated and reliable pokerplayers to stake for very soft NL & PLO games. Stakes will be mainly NL/PLO50 & NL/PLO100!<br />

<br />
After more than 2 years i decided to keep this precious blog alive - i hope all you beggars are happy now!<br /><br />To my own suprise over those 2 years alot of people asked me what happend to this blog, alot of people of whom i have never heard of before which indicates there may have been a bigger readership than i was aware of.<br />
<br />
Anyways, i don't wanna dwelve too much into the past and more focus on present and future but will still give a short overview of what happend and what lead me to the decision to put this blog on ice.<br /><br />Shortly after my last post in 2015 i got banned on Pokerstars for 3 months period for buttoning (was it 3months im not even sure anymore) but it was certainly long enough that i couldn't just sit this one out.<br />
So i got creative and was probably the first guy or one of the first guys playing SNAP on 888 with a HUD, this was working fine for a while until everybody got a HUD and games got worse again which lead me to going back to the cadillac of Poker which is and always will be No Limit Holdem 9max.<br />
2015 was a pretty shitty year rungood wise and this didn't change much in 2016. This was also the first time in my life where i could see the end of the rainbow in sight. Yes, i was still making money, yes, i was still making more money than most other people BUT i certainly wasn't making anything close to what i made in my golden years or what i wanted to make and the big question was: for how much longer all this will work out...<br />
So with seeing Poker coming to a possible end in a couple of years i started getting into Price Action Trading and focussed alot of my time into this endeavour. The problem with this was that my days became pretty much 12 hour days, 6 poker, 6 trading and there wasn't much time for anything else.<br />Unfortunately Trading for me never took really off because i definitely underestimated it's complexity. Everybody who gets into this has the mindset "well, im a smart guy, if i put x amount of time in i will see results by date y". Unfortunately you have to multiply Y by 5 to 10 to maybe get a realistic picture. Overall Trading is still my longterm plan (even though currently on Ice) but i'm quite sure if i want to do the transition i will need at least 2 years fulltime nothing else to maybe be able to get profitable there. After all i've seen though so far i'm convinced that almost all decent pokerplayers could be very decent traders given they put in enough time. It just will take alot more time then you would estimate/hope for... But yes, if it would be easy everybody would do it.<br />
<br />
But enough of this. So i basically was on my way out of poker when the call of a old friend from my Bangkok days pulled me straight back into it. I cant recall what he said word by word but it was something along the lines: "dude, fucking go out buy 6 fucking ipads and dont fucking ask why" "why?" "because fucking china man, thats fucking why" and the rest is pretty much history.<br />
<br />
So yeah, fast forward to today, im still in this fucking industry of poker which i love to hate and im already having my best year financially ever by a longshot but im very aware that this shit has a limited lifespan and i dont care how good you are, what stakes you play and how big your cock is, all this is true for you as well and you should prepare for day X and put some money on the side in the meanwhile ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
But let the past be the past. Since a couple of people asked if i would blog abit about my time in Manila here we go:<br />
After 2 fairly boring winters in Vienna i decided some time during 2017 that i wont bother with the cold again and move for a couple of months to my spiritual home which is and probably always will be Asia. How exactly i ended up in Manila isn't even superclear to me but now i'm here. I wanted something new and i wanted a big asian city so Bangkok was out from the getgo (even though i plan going abit to Bangkok beginning next year), Singapore unecessarily expensive, same for Hongkong, Jakarta probably abit too mental to really live there (even though i loved my weekend there back then), Kuala Lumpur too boring and the Japan and Korea stuff just too cold. Other options probably would've been bigger town in Nam or Cambodia but now i'm here - and i couldn't be more happy but more about that soon!<br />
<br />
The original feedback i got from people about Manila was nothing to be ecstatic about: too dirty, its a shithole, its dangerours, yadayada. But since i like to paint my own picture of things i had to see for myself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In the end as almost everywhere it comes down to 3 things: Location, Location and you guessed it, location. I did alot of research prior to going here and ended up with 2 options, either Makati or BGC. Both are fairly similar but BGC is certainly newer, more modern and cleaner so guess what i decided for. It's actually quite funny because this district is almost like another world. As strange as it sounds driving into here is like you arent really in Metro Manila anymore but in Singapore or a CBD in Sydney. But more later.<br /><br />So my flight out of Europe was on 30th of october and the connection was horrible (2 stopovers) but since i was able to afford business it wasn't the end of the world:<br />

<br />After 20 hours or so i arrived fairly exhausted at the airport and directly got scammed for 20x the normal fare of a taxi. FINALLY BACK HOME i thought with a smile on my face and it was a fairly decent hustle so the guy for sure deserved his money.<br />
<br />
As with almost everywhere, where you go shortterm but not holiday shortterm, it is a massive headache to sort out a flat. Most landlords wont rent to you because they want 6 months+ and because of this you are mostly limited to hearsay and airbnbs. Viewing them prior isn't really an option either which means you have to book the good old cat in the sack so to speak. However i spent alot of time looking into those Airbnb flats and boy i ran good this time for once:<br />

So as you can see the flat looks quite decent, was exactly as advertised on the pictures in Airbnb. Obviously all this comes w a pricetag especially renting monthly which costs me pretty much exactly 2k Euro/month. But i even looked for how much they asking if you rent them for good which is 2k usd as well. Probably will get it abit cheaper than that but i doubt it will be significantly cheaper.<br />
However for that price you also get amenities which are fairly sick. The pool in those modern asian condos is generally always nice but the gym mostly consists of 2 steppers and one machine but not here. Over 2 floors you have pretty much anything you may need for a solid workout (unless you are a professional athlete in which case it may not be enough). But for a small kid like me it's just perfect. No more time wasting commuting to the gym, i just run up one flight of stairs and im ready to roll:<br />

<br /><br />So far i make heavy use of gym and pool and i hope this will stay like this and i may see some interesting results in a couple of weeks. Even did some doubledays and will try continue doing so as long as the body allows it.<br />As i mentioned the district i settled in is by far the newest which Manila has to offer. Unfortunately they are still heavily developing it which makes the view from the place quite mediocre:<br /><br />

However given that my tower seems to be very good qualitywise you hear next to nothing from the construction and from what i've seen so far in BGC it's almost impossible to not end up next to some sort of construction site because they building literally everywhere.<br /><br />Another big plus of the area is that it is very well planned out and mostly consists of high and midrises which means it's not very big and you can pretty much walk everywhere in in max 15minutes. It's most likely also the safest area in the entire Philippines with several security guards in front of each building there is even at night. I have to be honest apart from BGC and Makati i haven't seen much yet but there isn't any reason to really get out. Everything you could ask for in regards to daily life is here: clubs, restaurants, malls, parks, whatsoever but fear not i will try to travel to some other places as well during my stay here.<br />
So far i planned to move on in january after 2 months but given how much i like it so far i could easily see me staying abit longer than originally planned. I can't really remember the last time i felt that good at a certain place. Everything is just perfect from a worklife balance, it's warm, the people are friendly - just really really good overall. I should note though if you come to Manila to save money you wont save too much money compared to most places in Europe if you decide for this area. It's by far the most expensive and everything will be on par with western prices, some things like taxis for instance alot cheaper but on rents and restaurants you wont be able to save much if any. You get a pretty decent value in return though.<br />
<br />
Don't really wanna drag my blog comeback out for too long so i will close with one interesting observation i made so far in regards to employment. From what i've seen so far and what it feels like everybody who comes to Manila and wants to work is getting a job. I don't really know how they do it but it has some hilariousness especially if you lived in Malta for a couple of years. In general i would call it overstaffing of places.<br />You often have 20-25 waiters in midsized restaurants, you have 10-15 people working in a small phonestore, you have 10 sometimes armed guards at just one gate of my compound (there are probably 15gates total), you have 5 people running the reception at my tower and the most obscene one up to date is: my tower has 4 elevators and in each of those 4 there is 24/7 one person in who's sole job it is to remember what floor you live in and to press the button for you - complete insanity if you ask me but all this leads to a very high standard of service in the majority of places you go to.<br />
<br />
That's it for now, i hope the guys who asked for teh comeback are happy now,<br />

<br />
wanted to update abit earlier but got a bit siq for 2 days that i wasn't motivated to do much than lying around in bed hoping for the best but expecting the worst. However i seem to have dodged the cold so that i was back to 100% this morning after maybe 36hours of suffering.<br />
<br />
If you follow me on facebook and if u read the headline correctly you already know it was rather big month in the current environment. I netted around 11k pre rakeback and 15k after which puts me on pretty much exactly 80grand for the year and with some rungood i really have a shot at a 140 or even 150k year now which i didn't really saw coming after the first 6 months in. That being said there is still alot of stuff that can happen and alot of stuff which can go wrong but 80k is certainly good yet not great for now.<br />

Month overall went as smooth as it gets even though it was one of those months where i didn't really had a clue how much i'm up at any time. Obviously made me even happier to see i'm up 11 but wouldn't have been surprised either if i checked end of the month and was up only like 3...<br />
Remember last month when i wrote i wanted to play exclusively 1k hand sessions? Pretty much quit that endeavour on day 2 of august because i realized my focus went straight downhill for the last 200-300 hands of the session. Was around the time where i also got the suggestion of teh business man himself JNandez to use a timer and finish sessions based on time. Experimented abit with that and that seems to work way better overall so that currently i break/quit sessions around the 1hour mark which normally results in 700-800 hands. After this month results i will definitely keep operating like this. Another thing which happend beginning the month that i was really not feeling happy/confident at 400SH that i deleted it from the filter pretty much instantly and never really looked back. For the moment i have no plans to add it in again even though results indicate i should/could.<br />

As you can see after a slow start thing really kick off and go where they are supposed to go. Unfortunately again failed to have that magic 100 Buy In month but i swear im onit. Not too much to say about all of this apart from that i ran and played pretty well. Not really much variance in there either thankfully.<br />

Noteworthy here that i hadnt had a single losing day the last 12 days of the month which is fairly sick i think. Overall only 20% losers out of 30days very decent track record also<br />
<br />
Only thing im still not really satisfied with is volume but in the end it is what it is and i rather take a low variance 11k with 116k hand than something more swingy with 150k hands. The days to focus mainly on volume are long gone anyways.<br />
<br />
Before i forget i also managed to clear another lifetime achievement at pokerstars:<br />

I guess that equated to 15million hands++<br />
<br />
Plan for this month is to change pretty much nothing (which should be easy) and to not be sad if i make less than 10k (which should be alot harder...). Invested some money in a bunch of different LOLdonkament players for the WCCOP (world championship of online poker) so time to run good there for once and get a decent return on investment on my money - fingers crossed. Had some investment this year at EPT Barcelona as well and broke even pretty much so not really much to write about this. Guess that's it for poker and from here on to the other life stuff ive been up to.<br />
<br />
<br />
As previously discussed i wanted to get a new car and ultimatively ended up with another Corvette (as expected). Would've had tons of different and mostly cheaper options but in the end i wanted to have something i will be 100% satisfied with and decided against getting a Porsche which everybody who has some money in Vienna drives anyways and went for a car which essentially was built for me and maybe 5 other people in Vienna call their own.<br />
I first went to a Corvette dealer in Vienna but that guy was superoldschool and i dont think he bought the whole pokerthing anyways. Convertible started at like 108k there and i swore to myself beforehand that 100k is teh absolut max i'm going to spew away (before people start calling me names again cars are fucking expensive here bc they get taxed an additional 30% on top but not much you can do about it). However i managed to find a (barely) used C7 Convertible from another dealer very close to Vienna which specializes in sport cars (mainly Maseratis and Ferraris) so i went there the next day. Car had pretty much the exact specifications i wanted to have (manual, sport seats, red leather, etc) so after a short test ride and a short negotiation i signed the contract and shipped the moniez.<br />

Havent received the car yet because i needed to get some stuff down beforehand - black rims and wrapped up in white but expect to have it somewhere next 2 weeks after everything is finished.<br />
Also managed to finally get the right documents to get my drivers license back which i lost somewhere in Asia which probably took me a good 20-30hours in total. Definitely not going to lose my license again ever - what a giant wasted of time...<br />
<br />
End of august i took my miniholidays as usual. This time Zurich was on the list. While i have been to Switzerland before i never been to Zurich which is one of the richest and most expensive cities in the world. Directly once you get out of the airport you realize that something is very different here because well, the cars are different. Even in the first 10minutes you saw like more nicer cars than in Vienna in a month. Every Audi you see is an S or and RS, Maseratis everywhere, etc. Also all modells are like 2010 or newer and you rarely see cars that are smaller than a BMW 3 series. Thankfully i managed to get an Uber which was 20euro and appr. 25% of what a normal cab would cost - god bless UBER! Afterwards i met up with my former student roomie who lives and works and Zurich now and we were crusing around and went to Zurich lake for a couple of pints. City is fucking bjuutiful and that lake is insane and gives you a somewhat mediaterranean flair - basically like living by the sea. There also tons of mountains around which makes it even nicer. But don't be fooled, that city will break you or better said will break your wallet. Essentially everything you do is 3 times the price you'd pay in Vienna and 5times+ what you would pay in cheaper cities. Casual restaurants you will not leave without spending at least 50euro p.P and you still will be hungry afterwards. Taxis start at 7Euro at the moment you sat down, etc. I'd guess you live a way easier life with 2.5k/month to your name in Vienna compared to 6k/month to your name in Zurich. Also the police is quite sick over there so that i heard some funny stories. Probably the funniest one is that they caught my roomie speeding with 36km/k too much and he got license suspended for 3 months and had to pay 4k fine. Even funnier is if they get him again for something similar offensive he's going straight to jail lolol - speaking of a police state...<br />
On saturday we attended street parade which is like a giant technofestival in the city center which attracts over 1million people from all around the world each year. Weather was brilliant and was good fun and definitely could do again. Sunday was relaxed sightseeing day and i went back to Vienna in the evening.<br />

Last but not least alot of people seem to ask me lately about poker and if they should get into it. So i want to elaborate abit on this.<br />
<br />
Firstly, no, you shouldn't.<br />
What i write here might make it look easy like 1 2 3 and while for me it doesnt feel that hard it will be 10 times harder for you. Chances are, that if you were supposed to be in poker you would be in poker already for a long time. It's not like you read a book, deposit some money and you start making 5k+/month - those days are long gone. If you start with that goal you pretty much going to fail any given time. The guys who are still left in poker love the game. When i wake up in the morning i'm genuinely happy that i can sit down at my computer and can get my first session fired up. Every day. There are no days where i say "ahhh fuck that, today i do something else" because even after 6 years i really really enjoy what i'm doing and i would assume for the most grinders who are still alive and kicking it is very similar. I also spend 200hours+ each month grinding, watching videos, discussing hands, reading poker related articles, browsing poker forums, etc. That doesnt really feel like work to me bc as being said i love what i do but chances are that this might feel like (too much) work for you are high. If you play poker in 2015 poker will be a massive part of your life and will be with you in the back of your head everywhere you go - there are no people grinding part time anymore (at least no successful ones); it's either you give it your all or nothing at all.<br />
If you are unemployed or have some supershitty job (and its easy to find something else any time) and you have enough time to really invest 250hours a month working on your poker carreer then it cannot hurt to read some books, watch a bunch of videos and start grinding microstakes with a 50$ deposit and see how it goes - after 3months you will have a pretty clear picture if that is how you want to spend the next years/decades. But if you have a serious job and you doing fine i wouldn't wanna put that at risk for a tiny shot at a debatably better life because odds are heavily stacked against you making it.<br />
If you still decide to pull teh trigger good luck though.<br />
<br />
And also once again: No, i don't coach - games are tough enough already and i don't need any more competition and i definitely don't need to raise my own competition for a quick payday.<br />
<br />
see you next month. peaze out!<br />

Sup guys,<br />
<br />
you probably werent expecting to hear from me so soon after last post but this one isn't about poker it's about something i wanted to write for a while now: Investing your money!<br />
<br />
For me personally it goes way back. I'm one of the biggest winners at my stakes but apart from playing poker and transfering that money into my bank accounts i never did anything with it. And there are better ways than having a couple of hundred k's lying around in bank accounts making 0% a year and losing to inflation and stuff. And what i gathered so far is that like 80% of pokerplayers operating exactly like this basically because they are uninformed about opportunities, unsure about taxation, scared of dodgy financial advisors or just too lazy and always say "yeah i gonna invest some money soon" and push it further and further. Especially the last point was very true for me personally but i changed this beginning this year.<br />
<br />
I have a good friend i know for several years now who works as a financial advisor for one of the biggest financial investment companies worldwide for over 10years now. However this guy never approached me and asked me to invest some stuff with him so that i had to take matters in my own hands this year and approached him about this.<br />
In the end i opened up a retirement investment where 1.5k getting booked of my credit card each month for the next 10years, that money goes into an account where it gets reinvested and you are supposed to make 5-8% on that per year - does sound better than having your money stuck in your overseas bank account, no?<br />
I also invested some money in structered notes and stocks over an independant platform where risks and rewards are abit higher. But this is just me and possibilities are pretty much endless.<br />
<br />
Since alot of guys are just uninformed and lazy i wanted to write this blog to give you an opportunity to take action. You are not dependant on doing the research yourself, you get a strong contact via me. A guy which works in this industry for years and who is already working together closely with other pokerplayers (myself included). Now obviously this is also a self-serving post. If i forward him clients i make money through commission and he makes money through commission. But ultimatively you will make money as well. So essentially this is a win win win for everyone. I also want to note that i don't want/need to make some quick cash here. If you follow this blog closely you should know that i do very well for myself but i genuinely believe that this is a good opportunity for alot of guys getting some of their hard earned money invested with decent returns. As long as capitalism and the interest system is still in place it's just plain stupid not to take advantage of this completely indepedant of what you might think of it.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in this the most important things are:<br />
<br />
- you cannot live in the UK or in teh land of teh free because of tax reasons<br />
- it doesnt matter which nationality you are from<br />
- 50k minimum for fixed investments<br />
- 1k minimum/month for structured investments (the one i described above aka retirement plan)<br />
- for most people living abroad it will be tax free, this doesnt apply if you are american<br />
<br />
<br />
That's the main cliffs you should keep in mind if you are interested in working with us. Every other details can be discussed directly with my friend.<br />
I also want to point out here that we are talking about fincancial investements and every single one of those will have a certain risk and there is a chance to lose money. It's completely up to you how much risk you are willing to take but in general the higher your potential return is the higher risk that investment brings along. Since this is mostly written for pokerplayers i'm quite sure though that you are familiar with the system of risk/reward and so on. Just wanted to emphasize that all i'm giving you is a very strong contact to a financial advisor i know very well and would vouch for any day. A guy with whom i have invested a decent amount of money myself. But by no means i'm responsible for your investments/money so be aware that if you go down the road and invest some and it doesn't go according to plan that was your decision and neither me nor my friend will be responsible for this by any means.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all i wanted to write about this. If you want to get further information about what is possible and what not, what to expect, etc. just get in touch with me and i will forward you (preferably via Skype) to my friend to discuss details. There is absolutely zero cost to get in touch with him and get informed about that stuff, if you don't like what you hear there is no obligation to invest anything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Allrighty, hope that i can help some people out with this, if there is any interest you know how to reach me!<br />
<br />

<br />
Fairly on time which says that things overall seem to have been allright.<br />
<br />
Overall pretty decent but rather unspectacular months. If you dont check results you always know how things are appromixmately but over the course of the month you tend to lose track sooner or later. More often than not you are positively surprised but this time i honestly expected abit more than just the 6k i was able to bank. Obviously this is complaining on a fairy high level so i will stop at it right here and provide the graphs:<br />

Abit over EV dollar wise, abit more buy in wise. As you can see fairly hot start, then a while into breakevensville, some real heat and back to breako.<br />

Pretty similar picture in Bigblinds, think i was 13 stacks above EV which is definitely nice.<br />

</tbody></table>
You can see with rakeback i almost exactly hit the 10k USD mark which is nice because 10k is alotta money and can buy alot of things :) Theres certainly some swings included but the positive ones almost always outway the negative ones which always tends to give alot of peaze of mind. Was happy with my game overall even though i would've wished/hoped to hit 10k before rakeback. Regarding stakes this is like 1% 600, 5% 400, 24% 200 and rest hundo. Was pretty much 50/50 split between ring and 6max and was running decent at all stakes apart from 100 6max where i lost a bunch which is somewhat surprising because it prolly is the softest gametype im playing atm. But yeah, made that back at the deep tables and in generally ran good at 200 and 400 so that's that.<br />
Days break down as following:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">By day</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Definitely higher swings then the last month but unsurprisingly because i had NL400 6max again in my filter for the first time in a while which tends to creates swings both ways. 9 losers out of 30 could be better but could also be worse. Still waiting for that 2k day which i havent had in a while...+2k that is!<br />
<br />
Main negative aspect where im really not satisfied is volume. Of course as being discussed i play less table lately and therefore get less hands per hour but really wanted to hit 125k hands which i slightly failed. Not biggie but still. The main problem i currently have/had is that i aimed to play 4-6 sessions a around 750hands. Afterwards at least 15minutes break to cool down. What happens now is once i run hot i play 500 hands quit, i play 600 hands quit but i dont play 750. I also tend to play only 4 or max 5 sessions over the day when running hot while originally planned to play 6. Vice versa once i run cold i dont stop at 750, i stop at 1k, 1.2k, or take supershort break and essentially play one long session. Over the next month(s) i really want to experiment with fixed session lenghts aka 1000 which is around 90-100 minutes. No matter if im up, down, etc - i play 1k hands. Only exceptions are if for some reason i don't get enough tables, are supertired/unfocussed or i have jesus on a massive whale at 600. But for the most part i really want to stick to this and see how it goes. Clearly my current system is working but the question is to what degree and i'm sure it isnt max EV. Theoretical it should make sense playing longer when running hot - 1k hands instead of 500 and shorter when running cold - 1k hands instead of long session of 1.8k or something. This way i should be able to maximize earnings while minimize losses and also makes it alot easier to time your day.<br />
If this doesnt work out for whatever reason i havent though of yet i can still revert to how i was doing things the last 2 months.<br />
Another thing i want to change as well is waking up and going to bed abit earlier. Average wakeup time this month was 1:30pm and i definitely want to push that back to noon. I also dont wanna grind after 3am and be in bed by 5am. Ambitious, i know, but hopefully it works out.<br />
<br />
Regarding reallife not a crazy lot went on. Wasnt out club very often and took a miniholiday to Krakau for 2 days at the end of the month to attend another pokerplayers wedding. Was good weekend and fun catching up after a long time and a well deserved break from teh office as well. That being said though i went out both days in Krakau and was essentially hungover for 5days, was damn close to puking the plane, etc. I really have to figure something out to make all this stop or i really have to quit drinking for good sooner or later because im really not willing to put up with that shit anymore. I have 6 hours fun and be completely out of order for at least 24 hours followed by a state of mild depression combined with zero motivation to do anything. That gets worse and worse every year now and i somehow have to deal with that shit. Not even to mention how much money i lose out on while not being able to work/finding no motivation to work. That wouldnt even be the worst thing if that time would be quality time but its pretty much nutlow time. Anyways, went to pharmacy and bought alot of stuff i will experiment with over the next couple of drinking sessions to see if i can get it fixed or im really going to evaluate. As usual you heard it here first. And for all the young guns beginning 20s i can only give you the advice to party as much as you can bc there will come a time sooner than expected where things change... Resume of all this is the aftermath of drinking sucks especially once u cross the 30-line, beware!<br />
<br />
Im also as being focussed on the carhunt atm. Abandoned the plan to get the 160k Corvette because 160k well, its abit excessive given the general poker economy etc. And until i can buy a used one for a reasonable price will at least take a couple of years.<br />
So currently i have pretty much the following options:<br />
- get something cheap which i dont like for 25k - no<br />
- get something american aka mustang, camaro or old corvette for 40k - would be the most sensible decision but im not sensible in regards to car so probably no<br />
- lambo gallardo for around 80k after bumhunting one - always said i gonna drive lambo by the age of 35 but also spend the last 5 years telling people the gallardo is for lamborghini what the boxter is at porsche: essentially a car for people who want to drive lamborghini but cannot afford lamborghini so i cant really get the gallardo no matter what happens...<br />
- get a porsche 911, aston vantage, maserati gran cabrio or jaguar f-type with 50k km+ for 70-75k - definitely an option but then again:<br />
- get a brandnew Corvette 2015modell cabrio for 100k<br />
<br />
As you can see i'm currently tending to option 4 (just because that fucking brand was created for me) but i change my mind fairly often so who knows. Also have to get my drivers license back first which i lost in Asia and its a damn pain in the ass to get it sorted. Essentially had to commit to a new health insurance to confirm my Austrian residency in order to get the license. Still don't have it and i hope it takes 2 weeks from now on but afteral what happend im not even sure.<br />
<br />
<br />
Think that enough for now. Pokerplans i already elaborated earlier on. Regarding life in july i have some old friends coming over the next 2 weeks so that i have to go out clubbing every now and then and at the end of the month i will take my monthly miniholiday. This time Zurich is on the list where i will visit my first ever roomate from german university (who is a giant moron but also a fun guy) and attend a giant rave called the Street Parade which is essentially what the Love Parade was only in Zurich instead of Berlin. That gonna be good for sure and i hope im not too old for that shit.<br />
<br />
peaze out and for teh case you grind gl at the tables but moar luck to me<br />

<br />
This time no poker at all. Since a decent amount of people seemed to be interested in the stuff regarding my LASIK surgery which was done around a week ago i will give some infos here there especially those who considering it have a better picture how the whole thing is going down.<br />
Will start with abit of history about me and how i ended up at that point where i really wanted to get it done and afterwards lead you through the procedure and describe what to expect. So for those who are only interested in the hard facts just jump straight to 2nd paragraph.<br />

<br />
background:<br />
I basically always thought my eyes were fine up to when my driving license came around and i had to take a visual test. I was 18 back then and went to an optician to get that test done and directly failed it. I was devasted at the thought of having to drive car with glasses and the doctor seemed to realize my disappointment and didnt charge me for the test. Outside i reevaluated what to do and since i dont like giving up i came to the conclusion i had to take the test somewhere else and this time not fail it, just guess the last row and see what happens. So i walked down the street to the next optician and passed it - no glasses needed, big success, my eyes are fine :) At least i thought that.<br />
Nothing much happend the next 2 years until i was serving at the german army and was chosen as a truck driver and needed to make new driving license for a truck. Obviously another visual test was needed and i failed again and i think this time it wasnt even close. There was no 2nd chances here and i got my first glasses. However i managed to twist my ankle very soon after this so that i was never able to make that driving license, was never driving truck and therefore never wearing those glasses until like 4 years later at a student party where i lost it drunk - no big deal, expected to lose them anyways.<br />
From here on no more test and i assume my eyes got worse and worse but i just got used to it. If you have bad eyes there alot of instances where you realize you should get something done but i always blacked them out. If i wanted to know where my flight goes i had to step up to 1meter before the thingy in order to read it, if i wanted to read a street sign i had to stand right before it and i couldnt read subtitles in movies anymore at a certain point of time. Also funny is when a mate tells you "look at that girl right there shes so hot" and you nod in agreement but in reality couldnt even tell if the person is male or female let alone if hot or not.<br />
I always had a LASIK back in my head but always pushed it further away. Didnt wanted to get it done in Malta, because well, its Malta and in Bali there weren't any options so when i came to Bangkok it definitely was on my list to get treatment there. After i went to a dentist there i came up with the conclusion thought to let none of those nutjobs close to my eyes ever.<br />
When i arrived in Austria i didnt really thought about it either until the one night i accidentally ended up with the glasses of a friend in a club which was just a bizarre mindblowing moment for me because i never realized how bad it was. All of a sudden i could read the drink menue behind the bar, see faces of girls on the dancefloor 30meters away, etc. In that drunk moment i made the decision something needs to get done asap.<br />
Next day i started googling for options and came up with what is allegedly the best laser specialist in Austria and decided to make an appointment and pay this guy a visit to get those eyes sorted once and for all.<br />
<br />
<br />
lasik procedure:<br />
I wrote an enquiry about 2 weeks ago asking for and appointment to check my eyes and discuss surgery at <a href="http://www.eyelaser.at/" target="_blank">Eye Laser Wien</a>. (homepage unfortunately seems to be german only yet). I got a call straight from the doctor where he checked if i was wearing any lenses currently (i think you shouldnt were lenses 3 weeks prior to test and operation but not sure about this) and some other basic questions and we made an appointment at the doctors office a couple of days later. At this appointment your eyes get checked with some futuristic machines to determine how much minus or plus you have, if you are suited for a LASIK and if so for which one (there are different ones and i will refer to the one i received which is the newest and safest method called femto-lasik) and also a general visual test. I scored with around -3 (which is quite significant if you consider i never wore glasses nor lenses) and the first reply of the doc was "how is life working out for you like that?" with a worried look on his face.<br />
He then wanted to take an additional test after giving me some eyedrops in which i scored abit better with slightly below minus 2. He told me that my eyes were suited for their standard operation method which they recommend (which is the femto-lasik) and that they have available spots for tomoro and for mid august. I snap shouted "tomoro is fine" into his direction and that was that. So i ended up having an eye surgery schedule not even 6days after my drunk facebook rage that i'm going to get it done asap - safe to say i was proud and happy.<br />
<br />
<br />
That evening i was quite excited but also abit anxious of what was about to happen. I made the plan to not look up to much about the whole procedure but obviously failed so that i had a pretty good overview what was going to happen when i went back to the doctors office the next day to get the LASIK done.<br />
<br />
day of the operation:<br />
In the beginning you have to sign an agreement that you are aware of the risks and stuff and yadayada. You also get a back which included 2 different sets of eyedrops you will have to use over the next week, a dark sunglasses, some ibus (for the case you feel pain which you normally dont) and a sleeping pill. Before i forget to mention it the whole procedure costs 1600euro per eye currently, 3.2k in total. Different operation methods cost different amounts but are always between 1.2-1.6.<br />
Afterwards you get dressed accordingly for the operation, have to lay down flat and the doctor gives you some special eyedrops to anaesthesize the eyes. Doctor then tell you your task for the next 10 minutes will be to always look straight into the greenlight. One eye gets covered and the first laser (which creates the flap - whatever that means) comes over your other eye. This eye turns dark then and 10 seconds later you hear the doctor "cut is perfect". Now the 2nd laser comes which fixes your bad vision. This takes another 10 to 20 seconds and you can smell the burned skin/flesh/whatever (sounds way worse than it actually is). Finally you get a protection lense which will stay in the eye until the check up the next morning and you are already done and ready for the 2nd eye. Same procedure. After max 15 minutes everything was done and effictively you maybe have 2minutes total the lasers working. There was zero pain the entire time. Its definitely not a superpleasnt feeling but every visit at a dentist is miles worse. You just make a big deal out of this usually because it involves your eyes and therefore you are scared. The main difference between the femto lasik i received and other methods is that everything gets done with 2 different lasers while with other methods the flap gets created manually via a small knife or something like this which is obviously way more scary than just get the same thing done via computer and laser. Also the recovery with the femto lasik goes way faster and much more painless then other methods from what i read.<br />
<br />
Ok, operation done. Way quicker than i wouldve ever imagined - as being said in max 15minutes i was in and out. And you can see way better straight away. It's abit blurry, eyes are very slightly burning (again, sounds probably worse than it was but not other way to describe it) but you already can see way better than before.<br />
<br />
after the operation:<br />
In your goody bag is also a couple of pages which are explaining to you what to take care of after the OP, how often to take the eyedrops, etc.<br />
I went straight down to the street, ordered and UBER and went home. The day after you shouldnt use computer, mobile, tv, w/e. - just dont use anything which involves the eyes much and they recommend to keep them closed as much as possible. So your best bet is just to sleep until the checkup and in wise forsight of this i grinded long the last night and woke up fairly early so that i was sleep deprived already. After arriving at home at 5pm i applied the eyedrops, took an ibu, just to be safe even though i barely felt any pain, and went straight to bed. Slept for a couple of hours, ordered a pizza around 9pm, took the sleeping pill after and managed to sleep another couple of hours until like 4am and now it was already much much better. Slight burning was pretty much gone and i went up to the balcony to have a smoke and could basically see pretty perfect already. All of the sudden i could see what stuff people had on their balconies next door, could look into flats i havent even seen before etc. A fucking awesome feeling. Now unfortunately couldnt sleep anymore and just dosed until the checkup which was schedule at 9:30am. Doctor was fairly satisfied with the results and removed the protection lenses i mentioned earlier on. I asked him if i could start using mobile and computer again and he was like "yeah, no problem, just dont overdo it and take breaks" and so i was back on teh grind already 18hours after the operation. That saturday and sunday i really had to take breaks more frequently because the eyes were just getting tired after an hour of work at the computer. But besides that no limitations. On monday pretty much everything was perfect and basically back to normal just with eagle eyes. If i didnt know i had the procedure last friday i couldnt tell.<br />
Now almost one week past and im feeling better than ever. Kinda regret i didnt got this done alot earlier but well, better now then never.<br />
<br />
So in total i would 100% recommend the Lasik and 100% recommend the doctor i got it done from. You also have to consider that for me that is way bigger than for anybody who has glasses/lenses/whatever. I just had nothing and was walking around the last years half blind essentially and all of a sudden you wake up and see the world in full HD again, can read signs, movies look completely different, etc. It's quite surreal and almost like being born again as sick as it sounds. Definitely the best investment i made so far in my life and worth every single penny. In fact if i knew it would be like this i probably wouldve instantly paid 10times the price - just such a massively increased lifequality.<br />
<br />
Hope i could shed some light and if there are questions just holla. Poker is treating me well so far this month so next update is expected to come out on time at the very beginning of august.<br />
<br />
Peaze!<br />

6 losing days out of 25 and only one day where i lost moar than 500bucks. Pretty insane given that i played decent amount of 200 and some 400 but also shows that i ran fairly well overall. Also to note that this steady grind gives alot of peaze of mind but safe to say it will not stay forever like this.<br />

<br />
In case of hitting skillz there seem to be still alot of room for improvement especially regarding sets but this is by far the best bell curve i can produce for any given months this year which somewhat shows how pisspoor i was running so far but moar about that later in teh YTD review. Also safe to say that you cannot base your entire run on that little graphic bc there are coolers, above EV and alot of other things to consider but it at least gives you a decent indication how things are going. If for instance all indicators are at lucky over a 100k sample but you are bleeding money there is most likely something very wrong from my experiece.<br />
<br />
Anyways, last graphic for now:<br />

<br />
Fairly proud about this and im quite sure that is teh highest winrate i ever produced over such a sample. Its only 120k hands but its still something.<br />
Some may have realized that i only played 120k hands which is certainly on teh very low end for me and i couldnt recall a month (ever?!) i played that few. Well, this has reasons. Since in Vienna i started mixing in 6max again and did cap may table around 22. I realized more and more that once i hit like 18 and alot where 6max and i was already an hour into teh session my game detoriated significantly, especially redline so that i wanted to experiment with a completely different approach this month while playing max 15 table and be 100% focussed and never overwhelmed regarding action. This is working out great so far but also abit early too tell how great it really is bc #lolsamplesize. My hands/hour dropped from 900ish to 650ish which definitely gives a slight drop in rakeback hourly but on teh other hand i play moar 6max now which gives more points and also play abit looser than before so that teh drop isnt too significant.<br />
I also tried to fix alot of small to medium leaks in my game which really seems to pay off finally. There were just a bunch of spots i was highly exploitable (and got exploited heavily) which i should've at least partly fixed by now. Obv its a never ending cycle and theres still alot of work to do.<br />
<br />
Game at teh moment are teh best i've seen them in a long time and i can only imagine that stars marketing efforts are finally paying off. There are plenty of massive fish around and while in thailand it took me up to 45minutes to get session started now im basically good to go after 5 or 10 minutes which is huge.<br />
They say never change a running system and that is what i will do precisely in july - leave everything like it was in june and also start mix in 400SH bombs and some 600ring again (which i both havent played last month). Superpumped atm and fairly confident so we'll see what july has in store for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Enough talking about this month - 6 months into teh year so time to recap:<br />
From my personal experience definitely teh nutlow run i ever had in over 10 million hands. In order to display that best here is once again teh infamous bell curve:<br />

<br />
So far i didn't had a single month where one of those indicators was on teh lucky side and overall im hitting like 1 out of 10 sets while it should be 1 out of 8 for instance. Yeah, but that's variance and i will not complain to much because teh 10mirrion hands prior i was running pretty well for teh most part. Also to note that not everything this year was bad. There were upswings as well, i had good months (january and june) but in general teh downers were way severe than teh uppers and took way longer time.<br />

So far around 55k up with rakeback. Definitely not superhappy but i have to take it. Also to put things into perspective i'm running absolutely atrocious, it's 2015, teh majority of hands comes from NL hundo AND i'm still up 55k. Overall that's not too bad. Also noteworthy that since my money is predominately made in USD and given teh development of teh Euro it's worth like 1.4x what it was worth last year around that time.<br />
Obv you can now talk about teh if's and when's but kinda pointless. With another run i could easily be up 70 or 80 but variance keeps teh game alive and sometimes you will get teh best of it and sometimes not.<br />
My general goal for teh year was 150++ which puts me significantly behind pace and for teh case teh run continues i will for sure not even get close. If things turn around 150k is definitely not completely out of range but still a tough job. Definitely will keep pushing for it every day. At lease for teh absolute mingoal of 6figures i'm ahead of pace :)<br />
But yeah, that's also teh thing with goals in poker - you never know what happens and even if your EV is a certain number like lets say 150k it's completely normal if you only come out with 120 or overperform with 180. And yes, i think given everything i know that my actual expected value over 12 months should be lying somewhere around teh 150k area, possibly slightly less.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's that, now back to life:<br />
Things are good so far and i played around 195 hours this month. Compared to Thailand where my daily schedule and sleeping hours where changing all teh time i have a way better schedule since i'm here which also definitely has a positive effect on my game and wellbeing. Normally i wake up between 12 and 1, get a protein/greek yoghurt shake in, play a short session. Then go for a realbreakfast at some of teh 100restos around teh corner, come back, play 2 sessions, order food for dinner, have a nap, play another 2 or 3 sessions and go to teh gym around 4am, go to bed straight after, rinse repeat - eat, sleep, grind...<br />
Obviously abit different to teh standard 9to5 but i'm used to be awake at night and like it, i just dont like being awake til 11am like in Thailand.<br />
At teh end of teh month i took a mini holiday in Malta, mainly to catch some sun (weather was awful here so far but is getting alot better now) and to attend a big yearly party organized by good friends of me. Also my biggest friendcircle is still in Malta that it's always awesome to come back and see all teh familiar faces again. Had awesome 4 days there but also was happy to return after that. The moar i stay here teh moar i seem to like Vienna. Those studies about lifequality here really don't like. After being away for almost a year from Malta you almost forget how terrible that service in 90% of restaurants really is and how bad teh food is compared to here :D<br />
For this month besides grinding i already have some plans as well. At the end of teh month i will attend teh wedding of infamous Bigacsiga which is a co-worker of mine and good friend for a long time now. Teh event will be held in Crakow and it will be my first time there and my first time in Poland as well so that i can cross another country from teh list. There's also a stag night planned for him 2 weeks prior to that event which will be held in Budapest and since i havent been in that city neither in this country i might attend this one as well but its not 100% confirmed like Poland yet. Flights are only 1 hour from here but already ridic expensive so i might just train it up in 1stclass which take like 3hours and should be fine.<br />
Timewise it's pretty good so at the moment i don't see many reasons not to fit in those 2 miniholidays and visit one of my favorite parts of teh world aka eastern europe(an girls).<br />
<br />
Also got a new phone which is teh Samsung Galaxy S6 edge which i can only highly recommend if somebody thinks about getting a new one- They definitely stepped up their game a bit with this one.<br />
<br />
Last but not least i really want to get a new car sooner or later and i really really really want to get teh 2015 model of teh Corvette Z06:<br />

<br />
First models in europe are about to delivered and everything would be cool but cars are ridic expensive in Austria for whatever reason. While this one starts around 110k euro in Germany it starts at 150k euro here which is kinda meh. Not that i don't have enough money to buy it, question of more if i really want to spend that much on it. Still undecided. Really want to have it by summer next year and my masterplan would be to buy a used one with low milage for like a hundred but i'm somewhat doubtful if i get one for that price by that time. Maybe should start playing sunday million again and use my one time. If teh year goes really well from now on i might just YOLO it up and pay teh 150 for it but definitely cannot count on that.<br />
In teh end luxury problems and as usual we'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Bit longer post this time again, hope you fine folks enjoyed it and you will here from me in appr. one month as usual.<br />
<br />
PEAZE!<br />

We start of with poker which was ok but nothing too special. I didn't had those extreme swings/extreme under EV run which i experienced the months before and had one or two heater sessions as well which werent happening in oh so long that i almost forgot how they feel like, But first the garphs before going into more detail:<br />

As you can see i managed to win 4k at the tables which doesnt exactly make me ecstatic but combined with rakeback it's about 8000euro net which is still alot more money than most people make a month so complaining about that would be complaining on a high level. But in general it's always tough if you really experienced big big months back in the days to get used to abit less...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Didnt checked results all month and was expecting abit more but you cannot always be so lucky. Especially the small downer at the end of the month hurt and prevented me from finishing up 6 or 7k.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall game quality was not too bad, probably because of SCOOP and the signings of CR7 and Neymar which also should bring in a couple of new players in future which is also good. Games atm are also fairly decent and alot better than the last months and i hope it stays like that over summer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Havent checked results for this month so far but running fairly good for once. Also changed some stuff so that im back playing a decent amount of 6max and playing way less tables on average compared to the prior months. Especially lately i became aware more and more if i hit a certain table count that my game starts deteriorating massively due to too many hands/h and too many decisions and atm i'm playing significantly fewer tables and having great results with that so definitely gonna keep that up and see how it goes from here. That's it in regards to poker.</div>
<div>

<div>
Regarding Vienna life my furniture finally arrived after 2 weeks in the new flat and they turned out to be a great investment so that i'm really happy with my room as of now. Always wanted to have a white room but since i always lived in furnished places so that i never really had the chance.</div>

Basiclly everything you see on those pictures (apart from the Hermann Miller + screens) was 3000euro all in so that you don't really have to spend a fortune to have nice room with bigass TV and home cinema.</div>
<div>
Total size of the penthouse is probably 150m² with both terraces and i'm sharing with a guy i lived together in Malta 5 years ago. Here are some more pictures of the 2terraces and the 2nd level of the flat:</div>

<div>
Overall life is good so far and weather turned around now as well so that you can finally speak of eurosummer.</div>
<div>
As already mentioned everything here is fairly convinient and grinder friendly. I get breakfast until at least 3pm in most places, shitloads of restos in walking distance (way more than i ever had in any other place i lived) and everything i need goes 24houirs - mainly to mention gym and food. If i'm hungry at 3 i can order decent food, if i want to take a break from poker at 2am i can go to the gym. No problem. Especially the gym thing is insanely valuable for me because i love working out when barely anybody is that and given that it's 24/7 you don't really skip it often either because if you dont go at 11 you go at 1, if you dont go at one you definitely go at 4. There's no excuses not to do so...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also different to most other places i've been is food quality. You can essentially taste that the stuff is good, grass fed, free range, bio, whatever, you name it. And if you order a main dish here it's a fucking maindish. In Thailand i could order 3 of those in some places and still be hungry ffs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far so good. Im very likely going to Malta for a long weekend end of this month to meet some friends and do some raging and will afterwards reevaluate if i wanna go there from August on for a couple of weeks. Also depends abit on how work goes from here but the vacation and this month is pretty much sorted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not to many other plans over the course of the week, will try work out at least 4times a week, play a decent schedule, wake up around noon, eat healthy, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last but not least the current state of body which shows still some room for improvement but already got a bit better since i came back from Asia.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far and until next month,</div>
<div>

The frequent followers prolly oreddi know what happend but yeah, pretty much had one of the worst stretches i can think of since playing for a living and didnt really felt like updating after that abomination of march. Havent even checked results for last 2 months until like a couple of hours ago:<br />

As you can see the only thing which was somewhat allright that month was volume. 175k hands is not too bad but nothing was working out ever and in the end the beyond EV run started as well which made things only worse and made me finish at the around -3k USD mark. With rakeback prolly a small winner afterall but nothing to brag about and definitely nothing which pays the bills :D<br />
<br />
April started of alot better<br />

<br />
but became complete aids pretty quickly as well. Its really mindblowing how you cannot make any hands over such huge samples, get coolered left and right, win no flips, get sucked out by fish. Like everything which could go wrong went wrong around mid of the month and confidence in my game was shattered pretty heavily once again after like 300k of barely breakeven poker. The only good thing if you play as long as i do is that you know it will inevitably turn around at a certain point of time but you never know if this point comes in a couple of days, weeks or even month. So all you can do is grindgrindgrind, hope for the best expect the worst and be prepared for whatever happend.<br />
In retrospect i prolly was never that happy for making around 5k and from the general feeling i had without checking results i was quite sure that month would be max another breakeven one so that i was kinda nice surprise to be up almoast 10k combined with rakeback. Volume of 150k hands was not too bad as well if you consider that i moved to Vienna at the end of the month and therefore had alot of stuff to do regarding the new flat like buying furnitures, changing adresses, get used to new surroundings, etc.<br />
<br />
Here is the overall garph for last 2 months in Bigblinds won:<br />

<br />
As you can see biggest factor is pretty much the 30stacks im under EV, if it weren't for those it would be still not great but somewhat allright at least. But if you ran like me over the years it also makes not much sense to complain too much about EV anytime soon even though it still sucks massively if you hit such a streak but i'm up way too much in EV to ever complain.<br />
<br />
I hope that for now the worst part is over and i can go back to winning and aiming for 10k month pre rakebacl again but we'll see what happens. At least the last 2 weeks or so were significantly better than everything which happend before but you can never be to sure. April looked decent as well in the beginning and became pretty nasty at one point. Afterall its poker and everything is possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it regarding poker. Last 2 months in Bangkok were fairly quiet and i didnt do too much besides grinding. I went for a short weekend getaway to Hongkong which was nice and interesting. But living there as a grinder is not really the best option because its ridic expensive. My friend where i stay was living in 40m² in 25th floor for 3k USD and pretty much everything else isnt cheap either. Think of 20USD pizzas lolol. Havent managed to see Macau while i was there but yeah, sooner or later i might make it.<br />
<br />
Had another friend in Hongkong visiting me over Songkran (the water festival and thailand new year) which was cool as well and ended in a pretty decent sized Hangover.<br />
But as being said overall not too much happend those last 2month. I was somewhat happy in Bangkok but afterall it was really time for a change of scenery after my 12 months there.<br />
<br />
Took my flight out of Thailand on the 24th and scored a pretty cheap business flight with Finnair via Helsinki to Vienna for 1.1k. Definitely would recommend for that price. Seat was fairly decent and service was good as well. Food was a bit disappointing but for that price you cannot have it all.<br />
<br />
Arrived in Vienna like 10 days ago and so far i'm superhappy with my decision to move here. Moved into an already exisiting pokerflat and will be living together with a kid i was living in my very first penthouse in Malta and also spent some time in Australia with. So there was not much to organize afterall and i just had to pick up the key somewhere. My roomie is not even here yet but will arrive tomoro coming from Australia.<br />
Only thing which is not optimal with Vienna is that you hardly find any baller furnished flats (like 90% is unfurnished) so that you have to invest some money in furniture (which will arrived on friday finally). On the brightside rents here are really really cheap considering its a major european city with allegedly the best lifequality world wide according to mercer.<br />
Location where im at is pretty awesome bc i havent 100s of restaurants only couple of minutes walk away and food delivery services are very good as well. Compared to Bangkok where nothing besides fucking MC Donalds is delivery after 11pm here i have at least 5 restos to choose from which will deliver me all sorts of foods all night and the biggest plus is that they bring it up to your door. Was so tilting in Bangkok to always go down for it #firstworldproblem<br />
<br />
Weather is a bit different here obviously but i think i chose a pretty good time so that its not too cold afterall and finally some fresh air to breathe. People are very friendly as well and so far i havent experience any of that hate that some austrians are supposed to have towards germans :)<br />
<br />
Also amazing to finally have normal internet again, no more disconnections while playing poker, your downloads are finished in a couple of seconds, etc.<br />
<br />
But yeah, couldnt be any happier so far with how thing are going here and i hope it continues.<br />
<br />
Last but not least the usual pictures from the last 2 months, hope i'm not too embarressed to update in time next time.<br />
<br />
So long, peaze<br />

<br />
since i've given teh big news in teh previous poast (for which i received moar love than expected) this one gonna be rather short and results orientated.<br />
<br />
I booked my flight to Vienna on teh 23rd of april so that i still can participate in Songkran, which is a siq waterfestival, over here. I managed to find a ridic cheap business class flight after grinding multiple flight scanners which was around 250$ cheaper than from teh next cheapest provider and its some sort of russian site and now they asking all sorts of confirmations that it is really me and my credit card bc i think somebody of those guys majorly screwed up wit teh prices but essentially i have teh tickets from teh airline company already and also chosen seats oreddi so we see how this ends up but should be allright.<br />
<br />
Pokerwise was fairly unspectacular and almoast boring month:<br />

<br />
From my general feeling i would've expected that i made a bit moar than 5grand because i was winning pretty constantly without any major swings but after checking results i realized that i was down money at 200 over 40kish hands which basically caused coming in short of moar. On teh bright side i ran pure at 400 (where i barely played any hands though) and ran decent at 100NL where i made like 35buyins.<br />
Volumewise i'm not too satisfied either. Yeah, was a shorter month than teh usual months but i played alot shorter sessions compared to january and need to push me every now and than in future to play abit longer in order to make sure i really end up in teh 200k+ hands area.<br />
Games were going alot slower than in january after moast people probably oreddi lost their christmas money but that was moar or less expected and january will always be a much better month compared to almoast any other month of teh year.<br />
Also i was running quite alot over EV teh last couple of sessions which is always nice b4 finishing of a month.<br />
Here's teh breakdown of days:<br />

<br />
Barely any big winners, basically no big losers either, just fairly steady imcome. But losing 12 days out of 26 is definitely not optimal and i wouldn't mind improving that statistic a bit in future. Also alot of days with fairly poor volume and not a single 10k hands day so i cannot complain too much if i end up only with 161k hands...<br />

In case of hitting skills there is still room for improvement but was definitely running alot better than in january overall only at teh wrong stakes :P<br />
<br />
Nevertehless i'm up decent amount of money and year didn't start out too bad and i really told myself to be grateful about every winning month there is bc after 2 or 3 losers last year i should really know how important it is to book winners, even small ones, alone for teh peace of mind.<br />
<br />
<br />
As being said, there wasn't much happening besides that last month. Didn't go out alot and have fairly good schedule at teh moment so life is not too bad.<br />
Goal for march is too increase volume a bit and hopefully make moar. Mid march i will go on a mini vacation to hongkong in order to visit an old time friend but besides that not much is planned. also turning 28 on tinder on teh 25th of march so that i maybe try to make it rain a bit around that date.<br />

ps: also a friend of mine who is an athlete wrote a book about nutrition in regards to body building and losing weight - might be worth having a look at for guys of you who are interested in that stuff:<br />

<br />
Teh avid readers will realize that poast comes a bit early but it's 6pm here in Thailand barely any game running so i figured i poast tis now since i don't have anything better to do (besides cardio which i will do after).<br />
It's beginning 2015 and i'm pretty much in poker for a living now for almoast exactly 6years. Wasn't always easy, but definitely was always worth it and if i go back i would do it all over again.<br />
Atm i'm in Bangkok but i decided that's going to change late april where i will make my return to good old Europe after spending moast of my time in Asia teh last 1.5years, specifically Indonesia and Thailand with some additional trips.<br />
I went alot back and forth on that decision to leave Bangkok but finally after outweighing pro's and con's for a couple of weeks i came to an executive decision which i think is teh best life EV and poker EV wise. That being said unlike alot of other places which i left in panic (think: London, Australia, Bali in raining season, etc.) teh decision to move on tis time was actually alot closer bc i like it here in Bangkok and could definitely imagine to stay longer here but overall but i think in Europe there is moar money and a better life/work balance waiting for me under current conditions.<br />
<br />
That's teh short version so that you know what's up and i'm going to break down teh how's and why's from here on. So if you are not interested in that shit just move on to teh pictures.<br />
<br />
Firstly i have to admit that climate wise Bangkok was prolly teh best place i ever lived in. They have wet and dry season but unlike Bali here you don't really realize that it's wet season bc it just doesnt rain all day all teh time (maybe i was just lucky). Currently it's dry season and i haven't seen any rain so far this year :) Debatably it gets a little hot from time to time especially in April and May but i like it hot so that was never a big issue for me. It pretty much never goes below 20°C and you really will not need long clothes ever - sounds good, huh? Yeah, i definitely gonna miss this weather.<br />
Another thing i definitely like here is teh easyness of living. Life goes slow and it's just very relaxed no matter what you do. Nobody is stressing things here - obviously that has advantages and disadvantages. But that's that.<br />
From now on i will go into specific points explaining why i leave and why i don't think Bangkok or South East Asia in general is teh best option for an aspiring grinder to be at (even though it's nice):<br />
<br />
1. horrific timezone:<br />
if you are an mtt player you can pretty much forget to have any sort of social life or a somewhat normal schedule here bc sunday million for example starts around 3am. As a cashgrinder or sng kid however you have a bit moar flexibility - however, no matter how you shift things it will never be optimal, not even close and i tried pretty much everything... If you play any meaningful stakes (using pokerstars as teh reference here) there will be very few action between 11am and 7pm so it's basically not worth playing those time unless you only play 4 tables or something like that. So you somehow have to avoid those times but that's not easy. I tried waking up 7pm going to bed at noon and i can tell you if you are not depressed before you will be after a couple of weeks on that sched... I tried splitting sleep in two parts from noon til 4pm and midnight 3am but this wasnt working for me either and i was oversleeping all teh time and significantly moar tired than otherwise.<br />
Currently i try waking up superearly between 3 and 5am and play as much as possible until noon, then go gym, have food, etc and go to bed between 7 and 9pm. Why my experiences with that schedule are by far teh best it is still far from what i (and moast others as well probably) would consider a good schedule... Cliffs are basically that unless you are willing to sacrifice a significant percentage of your hourly in order to live on a "normal" wake up 9-11am schedule you will have to give up a significant percentage of your feel well schedule in order to maximize expectation. Couple of years ago when hourlies tended to be alot higher anyways that was probably by far not as much of a problem as it is now.<br />
<br />
2. internet speed/reliabilty:<br />
in general internet i decent and reliable especially for south east asia BUT:<br />
- like every 3 month some tanker hits a cable in teh ocean and then speed goes down massively for a week or 2 until they fixed it (happend at least 2 times since im here)<br />
- speeds here in thailand are good for example if you have 50MBit you get 50Mbit but once teh page you want to connect to is in europe you will not even get close to that speed unless you start getting some sort of business line any pay shitloads for it (even though im not sure if that makes it better for sure)<br />
- in times where teh fastet latency gets teh best seats and therefore moar tables, moar funplayers and moar money you are always in disadvantage towards anybody who is closer to teh server (particularly europe players). my guestimate would be that can effect your yearly EV by 10-25%<br />
<br />
3. cost of living:<br />
i basically came here to spend way less money than i did in europe but it definitely didn't happen. Yes, it's cheaper here compared to all western europe and yes you can live very cheap here but if you like to live on a pretty high level teh differences are quite meaningless.<br />
I'm paying around 2.5k$/month for my current flat which is definitely very nice but not uberballer. In alot of euro cities (not all, think London, scandinavia, etc.) i would get at least something similarly nice for a similar price. Teh big advanatge here is that you pretty much always have a nice pool and a small in gym in teh building compared to europe and everything tends to be brandnew but all in all i would've assumed you'll get alot moar for your money here. To give you an example teh stuff which i would consider as really really siq starts around 5k$/month and from all i've seen in moast of europe it starts a similar price. What i must say though is that for a bit less of a budget of let's say 1k$ you get significantly better flats compared to their counterparts in europe.<br />
Teh other major expense i have is food or better said eating out. I didn't cook a single time here so i basically eat out like 2 times a day and once again if you want it cheap you can have it cheap, but if you like to sit down in a nice restaurant with a nice environment prices will be samesame to what i was used from Malta or Germany. Teh dishes itself tend to be cheaper but if you need 3 dishes everytime like i do you spend teh same overall. I think for my average meal i pay around 25$ with a softdrink + coffee and i don't think that's cheap in any way and that's not just one place i go to but all. And those places are casual for teh moast part, nothing superfancy.<br />
What's definitely cheaper are supermarkets and going out drinking but those 2 are only minor monthly expenses compared to teh 2 aforementioned.<br />
so cliffs: overall it tends to be a bit cheaper here but by far not as cheap as i would've expected or other people might expect (that being said it's bangkok and almoast all other cities in thailand are significantly cheaper for example chiang mai, where quite some grinders are located)<br />
<br />
4. uncertainty in regards to onlinepoker in thailand:<br />
i dont want to spread any rumours here because i dont have any insights but after Pokerstars pulled out of alot of markets lately even in this region (think Malaysia, Myanmar and since this febuary Singapore) you definitely have to think about where things are going if you play for a living and my stance is that IF Pokerstars gonna pull out of a couple of moar markets in future teh very next ones on that list going to be Thailand and Indonesia. (Actually i don't really understand why they pull out of Malaysia but not Indonesia but thats another discussion). And for teh case this is going to happen in future teh last thing i want is to be in Thailand with 9months left of teh lease for my 2.5k$ condo bc essentially i would (have to) leave immediately and definitely would lose out on some money not to mention to find somebody who takes over a 2.5k lease. Now again i don't want to spread any rumours bc i heard of none BUT after recent developments it's quite clear that teh chance Pokerstars withdrawing from teh mentioned markets somewhere in future is definitely higher than 0%. I almoast decided to move to Singapore after Bali and yeah, since beginning this month i wouldnt be allowed to play anymoar from there if i wouldve gone down that route. speaking of rungood<br />
<br />
5. coup d'etat:<br />
not teh main reason im leaving but definitely plays a small role as well. when moving here last april i ran good as usual and one month after my arrival teh army took over and proclaimed martial law over teh coutry (and it's been under martial law ever since...) Basically no biggie if they wouldnt have changed teh entire nightlife with it. While before that you could play til midnight, have a shower, go out til teh morninglight but all of a sudden clubs started closing 2am sharp CITYWIDE in an 8million people city. And it's still pretty much like this. Some places started at least doing until 3 these days but afterwards you on your own and its a pain driving around with a taxi at 3am to different clubs and just to hope thats teh day they might go until 5. Definitely a big part of why i decreased my participation in nightlife significantly. I'm just not somebody who likes going out early, it's called nightlife for a reason, it isnt called late evening life ffs. Another major hassle which increased tremendously is teh harrasment of foreigners on teh street, before clubs, etc. Completely random pisstests, fines for not carrying passport, etc. Not teh best way to handle people which bring decent amount of money to teh country but it seems this is teh route they want to go with this.<br />
<br />
6. visa issues:<br />
while it's still fairly straight forward to get a tourist visa its definitely a bit harder to get them now then it was before and they can deny you one pretty easy if they just want to. for example my friend who went to Malaysia last month to get a new tourist visa didnt got one and got told to apply for one from his home country. After i have my fair share of tourist visas in my passport now i dont really want to be in that situation some day.<br />
<br />
7. car:<br />
last but not a least another point is that after being car(e)less for 1.5years i really have teh urge to get one again. in asia i wouldnt be allowed to get one on my current visa and besides that they are like 3 times teh price and given where i live completely unnecessary anyways...<br />
<br />
<br />
Definitely some moar smaller issues as well but i don't wanna make tis poast too long. Now alot of people will ask "but where is teh moron moving to now exactly?"<br />
<br />
Vienna is teh answer for that. Why Vienna would be a new poast itself probably but i try to make it short. For once it's a very safe place in case of taxation as a pokerplayer in europe. It's german speaking which after almoast 6 years abroad will be a nice change as well. Moar and moar poker pro's, especially germans are relocating to Vienna and i already know shitloads of people who live there, alot of people i actually lived together with some time during teh last 6 years and alot of people i'd consider good friends. I'm also alot closer to my family, to nonpoker friends from teh old days (moast of whom i havent seen teh last 1.5years) and alot closer to teh server of teh isle of man lolol.<br />
Finally Vienna has allegedly won a couple of surveys in regards to quality of life and so far i heard only positive things from almoast anybody i spoke to. Also i will not just move there and stay there all teh time. I still have teh plan to spend 3-5 months a year abroad (#ihatewinter), i just want to have my main base and teh office in Vienna!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, tl;dr. Last but not least after 6 years here some poast saving pictures of all teh places i lived during those last years. Poker can change your life,<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Welcome
back to my infamous blog my dear avid readers one month into teh year
2015!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before
we go into teh pokerz we start where we left off last end december.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After
i finished one of my worst months since teh existence of teh timstone
account i started packing my stuff and boarded a plane to Taipei,
Taiwan on teh 29<sup>th</sup> of december in order to visit one
of my german friends who was doing a semester abroad at that time. I
moved into his flatshare for a couple of days over NYE and we had a
splendid time there and especially a siq new years party.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Taipei
is definitely a quite interesting city and i'm not sure if i would've
managed to see it otherwise so i was quite happy how things worked
out. In general you can say there are just alot less western
foreigners compared to pretty much all other cities i've seen here
which gives it a more exotic touch. English is spoken pretty widely
though by teh young generation. However when you get a taxi you
should no some words of chinese or have teh adress in chinese on your
phone otherwise you might encounter problems. Teh new town is
supermodern (around 101) and you couldnt really tell if you are
somewhere in Europe, USA or Japan. The rest of teh city is a bit moar
traditional with few skyscrapers and alike. City didnt really felt as
big as it was as well. Definitely enjoyed it but could imagine it
gets boring sooner or later and thats pretty much what teh exchange
students told me when i asked them.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We
went to see some sights, went out 2 night and visited a hotspring
resort (they are famous there) to get over teh hangover on teh 1<sup>st</sup>.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">NYE
was in fact quite siq when we went to a rooftop party directly next
to teh 101 tower which had an open bar from 9til12 and afterwards we
got moved to teh clubs downstairs which was fairly legit as well.
Price was like 50euro which was moar than reasonable for what those
guys offered.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">They
wanted to keep me there a bit longer for another party but since im
old and really wanted to start teh year strong in case of poker i
left late in teh evening 1<sup>st</sup> of january with destination
bangkok. Arrived in teh middle of teh night and was fairly tilted
because there were like 200 people in front of me queuing for taxi
but after changing teh side of teh street and after paying a big
blind extra i was on my way back to my condo.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Here
are some pictures from those days:</span></span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After
my fairly disappointing finish last year i was very motivated to
change some thing this year right from teh start and to go back
printing some money (which worked for teh most part).</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
definitely made some major mistakes last year which will definitely
not happen again. Teh 2 main points prolly being never playing a hand
of PLO again in foreseeable future and also staying away from 6max no
limit – both of those points i managed so far this year.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Basically
i crunched some numbers end last year and came to teh conclusion that
my max EV line to take should be playing NL fullring only, switch
majority of my volume to NL100 and massgrind teh shit out of it. All
this worked out fairly well so far. Sure there were some swings but
nothing out of teh ordinary. I definitely will stick to that plan for
now and have to take great care that i not make teh same mistakes
like last year once i hit some sort of downer (mainly changing games,
adding game, freaking out, etc.)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Teh
month started of fairly well, finished fairly well and had a long

only part of teh story though. I was running atrocious at hundo for
teh moast part but running fairly well at anything i played higher so
i cannot really say i was running shit teh month. I'd assume i should
have worse months once shit hits teh fan at 200 and 400 at teh same
time. Still though you feel like everything is shit at times because
moast of my hands happend at NL100 and u easily neglect that things
are going well higher (what i didnt necessarily knew though bc i dont
check results...)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Looks
quite sexy i think and also looks alot less swingy than it is but if
you play big volume and you are +EV in your games you definitely
manage to grind out alot of swings you have fairly quickly. You can
run easily breakeven over 50k hands but not that easily over 200k
hands. But thats just basic maths anyways...</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">make

</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">make
700k vpps aka 60k USD rakeback</span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">play
at least 200k hands a months on average</span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">10k

</ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Especially
teh last one is ambitious though not unrealistic. But yeah, a man
gotta have some goals. All teh other ones should be achieved a bit
moar easily.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
teh moast part i plan to update once a month as usual and hopefully
during downswings as well. Not going to promise anything though...</span></span></span></div>

yeah, looking forward how this goes.</span></span></span></div>

i'm feeling fairly good in Bangkok atm. Prolly because i switched
schedules from teh wakeup 9pm go to bed at noon to teh wake up 3am go
to bed at 7pm. Always going out for nice breakfast and often for afternoon lunch as well and not always locking myself in ordering takeaway... Quite insane what difference daylight makes on your
overall feeling/well-being.</span></span></span></div>

Came back from Japan beginning december and had pretty much exactly 70k vpp to do for teh 600k milestone and since there wasn't much else planned this month i decided to go for it. My biggest month vpp wise this year was around 55k so i was up to quite a grind. In retrospect prolly a bad decision but after seeing results its always easy to say stuff so i prolly would do it again if i had to.</div>

<div>
also cleared 2.5 1.6k$ bonusses along teh way which is nice.</div>
<div>
But thats about teh good news.</div>
<div>
Bad news is i pretty much lost all what i made in bonusses at teh tables which was not so much funas...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall just teh usual terrible month where i never caught any heat apart from teh very last couple of days besides showing big heart along teh way - sometimes big heart is not enuff though. Month also fits in quite well into teh entire abomination 2014 was apart from 2 siq heater months (jan and july from which teh majority of my table winnings are coming from...)</div>
<div>
But yeah, rough stretches happen and given my overall run since i turned pro i'm not really suited to complain too much just yet bc i was running way too well for way too long to put things into perspective.</div>

As you can see, there is no hope in this garph, there is no god helping in certain spots, nothing. Its just you against teh world.</div>

<div>
I started playing a wild mix of 200-600shorthanded and fullring and some PLO as well beginning teh month and aimed for around 3.3k vpp/ day which is around 7.5k hands in order to leave early for NYE celebrations in Taipei and to maybe have teh odd day off every once in a bluemoon. Never checked any results but wasn't quite hard to guess that i was down teh majority of time after swearing and shouting at my monitor which rarely happens in general.</div>
<div>
Around mid december i decided that i dont want to bother with those intense swings anymoar and switched teh entire volume to fullring no limit while including NL100 as well and 18-24tabled that teh majority of teh time for teh last 2 weeks. VPP/hand obv went down significantly but hands/hour went up and since i was a bit ahead of pace it was ok to proceed like tis and in retrospect it prolly helped me finish down only 5kish instead of possibly 10 or moar. But even here i was running atrocious apart from teh days after chrissy where i caught teh first heat in ages. Even managed to have a minus 13stack EV session in 4k hands 1 day prior to chrissy (havent checked how much i was down in real $) and i wouldn't even have thought this is possible but if tis month taught me one thing: UNPOSSIBLE is nothing...</div>

Teh garphs above are for fullring no limit only and at least teh 2nd one gives some #hope that there are better things to come (can also see teh epic 13 stack EV downer in teh middle where i thought teh worst is over now but got slapped straight in teh face afterwards.)<br />
Also quite fun if you compare those garphs to 2011 fullring ones - it's just insane how much variance is involved now even in a game with comparably low variance playing a fairly low variance style overall...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In teh end month showed me though what will work for me and what will definitely not. Gonna start off next year by massgrinding hundo+ fullring and gonna aim for 200k us-hand months like in teh old days with decent winrate and see what happens. After couple of months in i can reevaluate then and see how things go but especially during 2nd half of teh month i felt quite good with my overall play and i think this aprroach is teh moast +EV i can can take for myself in teh current state of games.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will upload BB garph for entire year once its loaded but made a bit over 6figs usd (including 50k rakeback) which was like teh mingoal for 2014 (and is definitely my worst year as a pro up to date) and which is definitely disappointing especially how teh year started. Main reasons are not enuff work on my game during teh first 6 months, a very constant bad run throughout almoast teh entire year and mixing and jumping around too much between different games, etc.</div>
<div>
Should definitely be able to avoid most of those things in 2015 so we'll see what happens...</div>

That's it for poker and fingers crossed for a hotter 2015.</div>
<div>
In appr. 12 hours im flying over to Taipei to spend NYE there and visit my major travel aquaintance who studies over there. Quite pumped to finally have some days off and recharge for next year.</div>
<div>
Might possibly head to a beach on teh Phillipines for a couple of days after but given how this month went i really need to make some cash so i might skip and go back to Bangkok on teh 2nd to go back to work.</div>

<br />
currently sitting in tokyo, it's 10am and for some reason i cannot sleep. went clubbing like every day 6 days straight but with fairly moderate alcohol consum tbf.<br />
<br />
but first things first. i finished last time b4 me and my friend left to jakarta so first about about our weekend in jakarta and afterwards a bit about our week in teh capital of japan,<br />
<br />
only been in jakarta for a weekend and prolly not much to see there besides one thing: NIGHTLIFE!!! definitely by far teh best i've seen so far in SEA and i didnt expect that beforehand. if you walk through teh city there is nothing going on, its quiet, there are not street restaurants, no music, nothing - directly in teh center of teh fucking town. definitely superweird and teh strangest place i've been to so far but once it turns night and you hit teh rooftopbars or clubs just wow. we had somewhat an advantage that i knew a cool girl from there who obv knew where to go and where not to go but even if u randomly just go there for a weekend and ask google you cannot do too much wrong after all i've seen, definitely best and moast confident girls i've seen so far in asia and insane clubs. there are literally no tourists and teh foreigners who are there seem to do well so you dont have all teh idiot backpackers and tourists who stay there for a week and ruin a potentially good night. in general way moar girls than guys in teh clubs and 90% male are foreign while 95% of girls are indonesian or at teh very least asian. quite safe to say i'm going back there sooner or later for a weekend if bangkok stays like it is atm. even though indonesia and therefore jakarta is muslimic, at least nightlifewise you wouldnt think so. can only highly recommend to go there and make ur own picture especially if you are into spectacular nightlife ;) its also cheap as fuck so that even if you go out to teh best places you will max pay euro prices but get insane value in return. if you on a budget you obv can get around supercheap as well if you leave out some of teh superfancy stuff...<br />
some pictures i aquired on teh way:<br />

<br />
now to tokyo which is a bit moar recent:<br />
<br />
tokyo from european standards is basically samesame but very very different and i still dont understand teh city at all. arrived last monday 24th november and since im in asia mode first thing to do at teh airport was getting a cab. was freezing as fuck with something like 15degrees (dont think i had that cold during last 12 months) and i was somewhat surprised that compared to teh 200+ taxis i can choose from in bangkok there were only 2 waiting at teh main airport in tokyo. when im cold i dont seem to think too much so i got in 1 of those 2 and told teh guy to drive me to teh ritz carlton. after 10 minutes i worked my currency translator and realized it was oreddi at 30euros or something ridic and teh street sign said "tokyo 50km" so i figured that might rather get one of teh moar expensive rides. arrived an hour later or so at teh ritz and oreddi learned teh first lesson: dont take taxis in tokyo - ever - period. went for breakfast at teh ritz and since we couldnt check into our flat closeby b4 4pm and my mate was still on his way from osaka to tokyo i walked a bit around town to see some stuff and kill time... try to structure teh rest a bit from now on into different categories.<br />
<br />
city/feel/whatever: definitely by far and not even close teh cleanest city i've ever been to. singapore is a dirty shithole in comparison lol (whoever been to singy knows how ridic this sentence is but in comparison to tokyo its true). we really been around a bit and no matter where you step out of teh metro you have teh feeling teh boardwalk was clean like 5 minutes b4. part of that also might be teh smoking ban on literally all streets we've went to. in my opinion a bit weird since in teh majority of clubs and decent amount of restaurants smoking is no problem which doesnt really make sense...<br />
another thing is that everything is organized to perfection, everything fits perfectly together. bit hard to describe but normally no matter where i go i think like this could be improved, this is not optimal, etc. in tokyo it's like:"yeah, this is gto, this is max efficient, theres no way to make that any better than it is" - i think you get my point. also safe to say teh city itself is moar modern than anything i've seen before with singapore coming close after though. also to mention is that climate is soso. still better than in germany, we had 15degrees now end november here but also alot of rain etc.<br />
<br />
people: very very friendly and probably teh moast friendly ive seen so far in asia. also on average a bit smarter than teh average human i would say but that goes hand in hand because tis country is not where it is for no reason. people are also fairly curious and interested what you do, where you come from etc. also worth noting is that as a white male down here you considered lower middle class compared to teh walking ATM you are in thai indonesia or anywhere in SEA apart from Singy...<br />
<br />
food: prolly teh moast variety of food in any asian cuisine i encountered so far. obv in a megacity like tokyo you get everything from any country in teh world but teh japanese food is far moar than just sushi (which i dodged teh entire week). fairly famous is ramen which is like some sort of noodle soup, teppaniyak which is grilled on a hot stone i think, yakitori, which are skewers with meat and veggies, okonominiyaki which is a japanese pancake and and and. even if you would only eat japanese and nothing else you still would have alot of variety compared to other countries. prices here were fairly reasonable for teh moast part but still alot moar expensive than bangkok for instance. on teh upper side you are pretty much unlimited bc they have a fair share of michelin stuff here but thankfully we dodged that as well... also worth a mention is that u can have dinner insanely late compared to what i used to. alot of places do til 1:30 and decent amount does 24/7 unlike in bkk for example - and those places are still really really good. food quality in general is probably teh best ive seen anywhere also.<br />
<br />
shopping: moar or less unnecessary to say but shopping options are massive and you can get pretty much everything and alot of stuff (even from designers) which you wouldnt find anywhere else in teh world...<br />
<br />
nightlife: teh thing i was teh moast disappointed with tbh. we prolly looked at 10-15 different clubs and nothing really hooked me. we asked some chicks on tinder beginning teh week and they basically were like "Yeah, nobody is going out during teh week" - iw0tmate? weekend was a bit better but still far away from bangkok or jakarta standards. didnt have any contacts here so we had to go trial and error but yeah, during teh week its fairly dead for a city that size and even on teh weekend you have to know where to go. male female ratio is a disaster and prolly like 70% on teh male side no matter where we went (and we went to alot of places). they are also completely mental regarding entrance prices so that even during teh week you pay at least 12 euro entrance for any given club with an occasional free drink and 18-30euro on teh weekend without any freedrinks. those are standards clubs, nothing extraordinary, no special dj, etc. and its always no entry so when you dont like one club and u hop to another you easily pay 50euro just for entrance fees combined.<br />
me and my mate had quite some conversations why nightlife is how it is even though teh city is big and here are teh points we put together:<br />
<br />
- teh really hot girls dont go to clubs bc well, they are really hot chicks and they dont belong in clubs (not really our point but we heard that but given teh chicks you see on teh street and teh ones you see in teh club id assume its an accurate point)<br />
- nightlife for teh general student is too expensive with entrance fees of 10eus+ everywhere + drink prices starting at 5 eur<br />
- no metro between 12 and 5 and taxi is not affordable if you dont make serious cash (we went home from one club with taxi maybe 15minutes ride 45euros, no problem...)<br />
- young people live with their parents for way longer than in other countries and teh parents make teh rules<br />
- people work moar than anywhere else and are happy to finally come home. even at 11pm you see insane amounts of people running around with suits - dont think they wear them for fun...<br />
<br />
could prolly add some moar points and you get teh piture.<br />
<br />
<br />
biggest differences compared to other cities/countries/whatever:<br />
- nobody gives a shit what you do. you can dress whatever teh fuck you like and nobody will ever give you a strange look - ever.<br />
- gamehalls: there are gamehalls everywhere where you can play all sort of games, slots, you name it.you find everbody in there: tourist, females in their 40s, businessmen in suits during their lunch break, students... and those places are jampacked at times.<br />
- safety - definitely safer than anywhere else. feels like there is no crime in teh city<br />
- queuing: people love to queue. even in teh nightclub they queue at a bar and nobody pushes in front ever<br />
<div>
- tipping: u dont tip ever, noone, ever<br />
<br />
<br />
think i killed my time and have to take transport to airport now (no taxi this time lolol)<br />
<br />
definitely liked teh week, bought some cool stuff, spent alot of money and had a good time but to be honest i would take bangkok every single time over here bc i feel there is moar personal freedom in thailand compared to here. very subjective though bc some people might rather choose absolute safety and modernity before freedom. another big reason are prices and since i'm making teh same money no matter where it makes no sense spending 4times teh amount id spent in bkk and live like average joe while living like a prince in thailand :P city overall would rank above average on my list of places i could imagine to live though and its definitely worth a vitis just to see it for yourself, bc as being said its same same but very very different!<br />
<br />
peaze out<br />

<br />
alot of people asked me where teh fucking update is and well, here it is. I know i know, one month late but given how i butchered september i didn't felt too much like writing about it at that<br />
time so now that i have a bit of distance towards it i feel i can give a better review.<br />
Normally we start with poker but i gonna structure it different this time that we start of with real life past and presence, then how teh pokerz is going and finally future midterm plans. Could<br />
possibly get a longer poast this time so be aware of this b4 you continue!<br />
Allright, last update was end august and since then quite a bit have happend.<br />
Beginning september a good friend of mine visited who lives and works in Hongkong (works in banking and makes quite a bit of cash as well). Since Bangkok nightlife was still pretty quiet at that<br />
time we decided to go to Pattaya at least for one day on the weekend to have a solid all nighter and make it rain because things in Pattaya run a bit different.<br />
Essentially it's a city 2 hours away by taxi from Bangkok (taxi is like 50-60$), it's directly at teh coast so there are some beaches, alot of tourists and a shitloads of hookers. People told me<br />
upfront that 70% of all women there were sexworkers which is a bit hard to believe but since i've seen it now with my own eyes i would say that number should be somewhat accurate. People who know me a bit better know i'm not much into that paying for sex thing but nevertehless it's interesting to see and also to see what kind of people such a city attracts. Basically me and my friend felt<br />
like we were moar or less teh only normal guys in that front court to hell and we are far from normal as well. Watched some shows there, had some drinks in different venues and ended up in a huge club called insomnia where we stayed for teh rest of teh night. In contradiction to Bangkok where clubs were closing at 2am in Pattaya everything had open til forever so our plan of having a solid allnighter worked out fairly well.<br />
We decided we had seen enough when we woke up next day and took a taxi back to my condo in Bangkok.<br />
Another day i finally managed to see some of teh Bangkok sights, mainly due to my friend bc my sightseeing game is not too strong. Here some shots of that couple of days:<br />

Besides that visit in teh beginning of september it was moastly poker for me that month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Didn't went out much, maybe 2 times or so but that's about it. Really felt like grinding alot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
and since clubs still seemed to be closing at 2am there was no real point in hitting teh streets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
because i hate going out early.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Originally i planned to potentially go to Pattaya for a couple of weeks until teh situation in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Bangkok is better together with a friend and i looked for properties but didn't really came up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
with something i would've wanted to stay a couple of weeks so decided to stay in Bangkok and rather</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
play and keep a low profile especially since teh year is going mediocre at best pokerwise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
However teh friend i planned to go with to Patty moved into my place beginning october so that after</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
a while i have a fixed roommate again which plays my games a little bit lower stakes though but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
it's still moar than nice to have somebody to discuss poker and life with instead of being alone for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
teh moast part. We both have been grinding pretty hard lately besides teh occasional night out. On the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
brightside it seems that moar and moar clubs stay open again after 2am so that things seems to be</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
going back to how they used to be when i originally arrived in teh city of angels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After one club night my tuk tuk also got stopped by police and i got raided for drugs next to teh </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
street but since i'm a nice kid i could go my way after 2 minutes. Police were surprisingly friendly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
so that teh experience wasn't really as bad as it sounds...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
October wasn't really alot of party either and alot of poker instead. Alot moar satisfied with this month compared to fucking september but moar about that later. Currently i'm chilling in Bali with a good friend who was visiting me in BKK a while ago and is living now in Taipeh for "studying" 6 months. All teh stuff he tells about this city makes me quite curious since it seems like a pretty nutty place to live in SEA as well (and i heard that from a bunch of people by now). Also it seems like i really will be playing zero poker this week and recharging my batteries instead for teh end of teh year grind which is good as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Teh main reason i'm in Bali is that my visa expired and i needed to go for a visarun because of this. Since i'm staying at least til end of april in Bangkok teh longer visa i get teh better and Indonesia is one of teh very few countries in south east asia that is issuing 9months tourist visa for Thailand (triple entries) so that teh decision was easy. Currently really just chilling and having alot of amazing food - there is really not that many places i've been to where food is that good. Also teh weather is quite sick still (wet season starts very soon) so that i even manage to get my tan back while here. On friday we go to Jakarta for teh weekend where teh main goal is to rage compared to here where teh main goal is to do nothing :P Fortunately i have a lovely contact in Jakarta so that we know where to go and where not to which always helps if you grind a (big) city for teh first time. Here's teh pictures i've gathered so far from Bali and some other october shenenigans and teh rest of this trip will follow in teh next update:</div>

It's a fairly interesting game but that being said will take long time to get to a similar level of current</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
100 or 200 regs and rake is not your friend either. So for now i'm moastly cured from teh PLO virus even though it was a somewhat expensive lesson.</div>

Since Pokerstars introduced their retarded Spin and Go's cash game traffic suffered a bit as well and i decided to reallly start playing 6max again no matter what from october ongoing and therefore put quite a bit of database research and studying in to make this happen smoothly. So far i run around 4bb-ish at 6max 200 which is good but 50k hands is not teh biggest sample to draw any conclusions from but it's at least a good start. I think the main thing which helped was comparing my game with teh game of teh biggest winners at that stake which made me aware of quite alot of leaks which are somewhat really easy to fix though and i think i did a good job so far in doing this and really looking forward to teh future.</div>

This month started fairly slow and i caught a fairly decent heater in teh middle but a very bad run in teh end. Was really like 10 days going supersmooth and then all of a sudden don't hit a single hand for 10days straight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Haven't changed a single thing of my game or stakes or whatever during that time so that can be contrinuted almoast entirely to card distribution and variance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also had teh feeling that i was running quite poorly overall over teh entire year or at least during teh last 3 months and couldn't really figure out what was wrong. EV was somewhat ok almoast always, i felt i was playing at least decent almoast always, my tableselection was topnotch as usual etc. So i digged a bit through PT4 and had a look for stuff which shows you how u run in different spots and i came up with a thing called teh luck bell curve. This tool essentially shows you how often you flop sets and turn or river flushes when you have teh opportunity and than displays on a scale how lucky or unlucky you are.</div>

Now it would be quite easy but also insanely stupid to blame 3 mediocre months on a single issue which is sets but nevertehless i believe this is a major contibutor atm which accounts for me making not as much money as i would like to make. This is quite a sick sample of at least 300k hands and while normally you should flop a set around 11.7% longterm i manage 8.3ish% over teh last 3 months. While this sounds not like a big deal for teh casual reader if you play for a living you know this is huge and especially for my game where teh biggest moneymaker against funplayers are definitely sets it explains quite a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I return back to Bangkok on teh 2nd of november and have pretty much to do another 100k VPP for teh last 2 months of teh year which will keep me busy so that i finish teh year with 600k VPP and almoast exactly 50kUSD rakeback (with 45-50% rakeback equivalent).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Goal for teh last 2 months is to play only 200-600 prolly a mix of 50% ring and 50% 6max obviously somewhat dependant on what games run and what seats i get. Maybe i can at least finish teh year as strong as i started it - teh motivation i have for sure...</div>

Enuff for poker and a bit moar about future plans and current life observations. I'm in South East Asia now for a bit over a year and lately teh timezone really starts to get teh best out of me. It is litereally by far teh worst timezone to live if you play onlinepoker for a living and want to make teh moast money you can for different reasons. The main reason is simply that once you play somewat meaningful stakes (which for me means 200+) you cannot play teh same volume all around teh clock and you have similar timewindows each day where teh moast action and teh moast +EV games run and where you will be able to play alot of tables without too much effort. This time in Bangkok goes from around midnight until 9 in teh morning for sure, sometimes a bit longer. The main issue for me is once i play this schedule reallife begins to suck and after a while you naturally will get depressed in one way or teh other bc you maybe see one third of daylight other people see. Don't get me wrong, i love playing at night, grinding it up til 3,4 or 5 i don't mind but i hate grinding it up til 10 in teh morning... From my personal feeling going to bed at 4 and waking up at 11 feels 250% better than going to bed at 10 and wake up at 5pm where it's almoast dark again. The first option also gives you a somewhat decent lifestyle comparable with a lazy student while teh 2nd one basically makes you a fucking degenerate zombie who moast of teh time doesn't even know which weekday it is... I think it's no problem doing this for a couple of weeks or even months but when you do that several years straight i think it's not very healthy in teh grand scheme of things also. Don't get me wrong here though - i love it here, love teh people, teh girls, teh fact that cash is king, teh weather, etc. but all this still not makes up for a completely fucked up lifeschedule IMO. So long story short after living over one year in Asia and another 6months ahead of me i think i call it a day in april and probably move back to a timezone which is better suited for poker. Not sure where i will end up but Vienna sounds like a nice city which can offer a good lifestyle and since i know alot of other people there i would have a social circle from day one which is better than building everything from zero. But yeah, nothing is set in stone and since i change my mind alot i might end up somewhere completely different in teh end but currently i think Vienna is teh moast likely and moast reasonable outcome. Having my base there would give me a better connection to teh stars server and moar stability and speed in regards of internet which is very beneficial these days, I would have a somewhat normal life schedule while not permanently working crazy hours, i could finally get a sick sports car again finally, would be close to alot of euro friends i've rarely seen over teh last years and i still have to option to go abroad in winter when it gets cold and travel a bit and get some variety. But all in all it just sounds moar reasonable to me to have my base set up somewhere in europe compared to somewhere in Asia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyways, my lease in Bangkok still goes for another 6 months and i have no plans to leave early so i will keep you posted over teh next months what is finally happening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Last but not least my immediate plans until end of teh year. Poker i already pointed out earlier so what am i doing besides playing poker:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Current plan is to go to Japan or better said Tokyo for about a week in end november to see what is all teh fuss about. Since i might be leaving Asia sooner or later i really want to make sure i've seen alot of stuff i wanted to see before. Another thing which is definitely on my list is visiting my boy in Hongkong and spend a weekend there and do some party. Definitely gonna stay in Bangkok over Christmas and not fly back to Germany but try to rape some christmas funplayers instead. New Years i'm moast likely not staying in Bangkok since i was here last year and i never do NYE in teh same city twice anyways (life is short...) so current plan is to have a look at Taipeh and prolly go there for 4-8 days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As you can see alot of things lined up fot teh future so it's unlikely i end up wit a boreout anytime soon. I hope this poast wasn't too long but since it's been 2months since last update i had to write a bit moar to get up to date.</div>

<br />
First off not too much happend this month overall but let's begin with poker. I came back to Bangkok pretty much the start off August after having had my first real business class travel (and safe to say i'm prolly not flying anything else in near future).<br />

Arrived back to my place and after alot of parties in europe i wanted to focus this month on teh grind. However when i returned i realized that those morons turned off my electricity after me not paying a dime since moving here - tbf i cannot really blame them. Was kind of a hassle to find out where to go and pay them off but with the help of a friend i managed and was back on at teh end of teh day and ready to grind.<br />
<br />
However things in august weren't going too well overall but see for yourself:<br />

EV wise it's a pretty similar month to last month but while i banked 17k pre rakeback there i only managed to bank appr. 5k pre rakeback here. Shows you a bit about variance and running good vs running bad. But yeah, bottom line i'm up 10k ish with rakeback to i definitely had worse months and not gonna complain here...<br />
Played mostly fullring during teh month and went to ZOOM for 3 days at teh end of it but i think i'm cured for teh next couple of months in that hinsight. Was fairly happy with my play and volume overall - managed to make a bit over 60k VPP in total. But yeah, every now and then you'll encouter months where you lose majority of flips and stuff where you are miles ahead - nothing can be done about it.<br />
Plan for september is to grind decent amount as well. Aiming for 600k milestone i think and am pretty much on track. 700k is not unpossible either but prolly too much of a grind to be bothered for teh little moar rakeback it gives. Main volume will stay at fullring but i gonna mix in a couple of good 6max games as well to get sessions started bc fullring it sometimes just takes too long/forever to get a session going.<br />
<br />
<br />
Regarding life i'm happy to be back in Asia but Bangkok sucks bigtime at teh moment. As it seems of now there is really no moar clubs open after 2am in pretty much teh entire inner city because off teh army.<br />
When i came here in April you could go til 6,7, 8 whatever you like. Then teh army took power and almoast everything started closing at 2 with a few exceptions which stayed open longer. As of last week it seems that even those exceptions are gone for whatever reason so that you basically have to go home at 2am or organize some sort of house party or whatever - a bit pathetic in a city this big.<br />
As being said atm i'm so pissed off by that i prolly not bother going out much at all anymoar here and move to Pattaya soon for a couple of weeks/months until they get their shit together here because things over there seem normal in regards to nightlife and i also miss living close to teh sea :/<br />
<br />
At teh beginning of teh month i had a friend visiting who still managed to break down with a mild heart attack after a couple of days here even with all teh restrictions - maybe i'm just playing it wrong, who knows.<br />
<br />
Also had some other people visiting during teh month so that i managed to get out of my routine every now and then. Might start doing some city/party trips over weekends in september/october, especially as long as nightlife stays like it is at teh moment. Really kinda hard to tell what is happening, could be over tomoro, could stay like this for very long...<br />
<br />
Besides that not really much to tell - having a fairly stable gym routine with like 4 days a week and as being mentioned one day of drinking per week with terrible hangover teh next day. Besides that it's grinding and waiting for the rainy season to go away :P<br />
<br />
Last but not least a few shots and i hope next time i have a bit moar to write!<br />

<br />
Was pretty sick month pokerwise overall, especially if you consider that i was in Malta and going out 2-3 times a week moastly. One of those months where basically everything is going your way, be it setups, EV, gameplay, you name it.<br />
<br />
Here's teh garph:<br />

Garph is a bit to pretty to put in teh EV line as well so i just left it in teh info box. As you can see it's decent amount above but my ev adjusted WR overall was almoast 3bb with which i am quite happy as well.<br />
Here is also teh stake breakdown:<br />

So what changed compared to last month? Basically only teh one thing that i dropped 6max for good and played exclusively fullring. Tbh last month garph itself wouldn't have looked very different without playing 6max. That being said i had 2 major heaters over those 122k hands and was pretty much never running really bad - garph makes that obvious - furthermoar games became alot better once teh worldcup finished and it should go up from now bc euro winter is coming :) Also there is no rakeback included so with rakeback im def. in teh 20k's for july which makes me a happy man!<br />
<br />
Goal for august is to ride that heater as long as possible and not lose too much once it's over. Volumewise i should also be able to play a bit moar overall once back in Bangkok but volume is not necessarily my goal as long as i run good and make enough money.<br />
Ah, yes, and definitely not trying to play 6max anytime in near future but i guess that's quite ldo after those results.<br />
So in regards of poker i leave it with those numbers for - don't really know what else i should write.<br />
<br />
In life regards i spent teh 2 weeks after my last update in Malta and left it yday and am in Germany now for appr. 2 days. In retrospect i prolly should've left Malta after teh worldcup because i was quite bored overall teh last 2 weeks but than on teh other hand i put in some good work, made some money and felt good overall so teh 2 weeks were not really wasted. Nevertehless though i'm quite happy once i board my plane to Bangkok tomoro and will be out of Europe for teh foreseeable future. Just an easier life over there, way moar laid back, friendlier people, cheap as fuck, no stress, hot temperatures, etc.<br />
Last 2 weeks i went out a bit but not as much as during teh worldcup i think but put teh main focus on poker.<br />
Nutrition overall was not very good either so that this is going to be a main focus once i'm back to get a better gym schedule again. Wasn't necessarily bad in Malta - still average 3-4 times i guess but some breaks every here and there and overall too much pizza, pasta and alcohol... time for change!<br />
Really not much moar to tell now that i think back which prolly explained my boredom in teh end. On of teh cool things i heard lately was teh Dan Bilzerian interview which i can only highly recommend:<br />

After i arrived in Frankfurt i was positively surprised about teh weather and went straight to teh rental car company to get teh M6:<br />

However in teh 30minutes i needed to sort teh car out teh weather changed so that i had to close teh roof directly and german autobahn looked like this:<br />

<br />
So yesterday and today i didn't do much besides sleeping, eating and chilling with teh parents and tomoro i prolly gonna meet some friends in Frankfurt before flying out to Bangkok. Going to bed soon and will try to wake up superearly to grind a bit in order to be hopefully tired during teh 2nd half of teh flight - since it's business i might even be able to sleep a bit if i'm lucky...<br />
<br />
Once back in Bangkok Damon Booth will be oreddi waiting for me which i think is moar a bad than a good thing but i have to accept teh fact that he is going to be there to make my life worse - looking forward.<br />
<br />
Somewhat tired so that's it, short update but better than nothing i'd assume.<br />
<br />
take care guys and cu on teh other side...<br />

<br />
update a bit earlier than expected but this is not a real update but moar like a promotional post on my behalf.<br />
<br />
Just yesterday i scored an affiliate deal with a fairly new company specialized in business and first class flights world-wide (long haul 5hours+ only). If you are not interested in this you basically can stop reading here because what is following might be not very appealing to you. If this sounds interesting please continue ;)<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To give you an impression what is possible:<br />
<br />
I just booked Frankfurt to Bangkok with Thaiairways for 1250Euro while the normal rate on Thai Airways would be 1720Euro. So in the end i saved 470Euro on this one which equals 27%. The economy flight would've been around 600Euro which makes business only double as expensive, which is a really really sick deal if you know a bit about flying. This is one way and you can expect roundtrips to even be cheaper from a percentage standpoint! I inquired not even 48hours ago and received my Ticket this morning via emai, i paid very conviniently on Stars.<br />
Also note that flights from and to Europe in general have the worst %-deals. For example when you fly Asia to US or Asia to OZ the %-age you save compared to the regular business class should be significantly higher than the 27% i got here.<br />
<br />
A good friend of mine is one of the agents for the company and so i offered him a collaboration to boost their business a bit.<br />
<br />
Basically there are two options for you to get a quote and to book:<br />
<br />
1.<br />
<br />
go to <a href="http://www.ionlyflyfirstclass.com/" target="_blank">I only fly first class</a> > Booking Request, add your details and what flights your looking for and post "timstone" in the "how did you hear about us" in order to 100% get the best rate available. They will give you quotes as soon as possible and you can decide afterwards if you want to take their offer or rather fly eco instead.<br />
<br />
<br />
2.<br />
<br />
you get in touch directly with me via Facebook, Skype, Line or whatever and i will you forward you to my friend the agent who will take care of you from that moment on. Overall i would recommend this option because you will receive direct feedback and have a bit more personal experience but in the end this is completely up to you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Every quote you get will be specifically researched extra for you with the best price available!<br />
<br />
A wide variety of payment options will be available once everything is finalized - at the moment they have for sure paypal, skrill, pokersitetransfer and some banks, credit cards will be following asap.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cliffs:<br />
<br />
- business and first class flights for better rates than found anywhere else<br />
- worldwide<br />
- long haul 5hour+ only<br />
- if you are in a miles program you WILL NOT receive any miles for using ionlyflyfirstclass<br />
- very easy booking process - all work is taken care of by the agents<br />
- you'll receive your ticket via email you provided and will even be able to change your seat, meal preferences etc. afterwards<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really hope this might be interesting for some of you. If not just ignore!<br />
<br />

As you prolly oreddi know since teh update was delayed last month it was not a very pleasing in case of poker for me. I had a pretty poor start (after decent last may), then went to europe and started in Ibiza where i cannot grind poker bc teh market is seperated and once i was back in Malta i got back on it again.<br />
To be honest i was fairly surprised when checking results - i knew wasn't teh best month but was also quite sure that i should be somewhat in teh black so i was surprised ending up down b4 rakeback. This is teh beauty of a garph which came with it:<br />

As you can easily see 6max once again costed me a fairly decent month and made it into a breakeven one. Good thing after all this is that i think i finally learned my lesson and will not play 6max anymoar unless games change drastically or i put in an insane amount of theory. I don't see one of teh both happen in near future.<br />
<br />
<br />
So far i haven't played a single hand 6max this month and i think i should be up around teh 10k mark before rakeback which is certainly one of my strongest 2 week performances up to date. Feeling very confident at teh moment and needless to say i know this is a giant heater but after running fairly meh for several month now i think i somewhat deserve it. I haven't really checked results so teh 10k figure is a guestimate but i don't think i had moar than 2 losing days so far and 80% of my sessions are winners which is quite insane.<br />
Definitely have to fucking stick to my game which is fullring for teh rest of teh year and whenever i feel teh need to play 6max again i will prolly just reread this blogpoast :D<br />
<br />
<br />
Enough about poker though because it was fairly busy and interesting month in regards to real life as well.<br />
First week of june i didn't do much besides grinding and hopefully making some moar money for my europe trip (which didn't really worked out as u can see haha).<br />
<br />
I left Bangkok teh 9th and arrived in Ibiza on teh 10th to stay there for 6 days, party with teh gumballers and meet some old friends.<br />
<br />
First off here a video of like 80% of teh gumball cars:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10202243015224122&set=vb.1452533123&type=3&theater" target="_blank">Gumballaments</a><br />
<br />
My friends there had a nice Maserati which definitely turned some heads while cruising around town :)<br />
Regarding Ibiza i don't want to write alot but i didn't like it too much to be honest. It's like nothing compared to what it was 7 years ago when you could walk down playa d'en bossa and see shitloads of characters you wouldn't see anywhere else in teh world + a shitton of insane chicks but now it's moar like a copy of mallorca with football teams, bachelorette groups etc. I don't understand in teh first place why so many people on normal salaries go there while they prolly would have a better time for way less money on teh neighbouring island. But not really my problem in teh end. The clubs were, besides teh music, fairly meh as well, normal areas too crowded, vips too empty and insanely expensive or better said a very bad value for money if i compare it to alot of other places i've been. The good parties during teh week were teh ones far outside of playa d'en bossa - Blue Marlin and Destino to name two. Those were daytime events, you don't pay teh usual 50 or 60 euro entrance and all of a sudden you see chicks way hotter than anything you would ever see in a club and all of a sudden people start speaking spanish and english and not fucking german :)<br />
If i should ever go back i definitely will play teh whole thing very different, getting a villa in teh middle of nowhere, a car or a driver and go out daytime and stay in at night - just not worth teh hassle and teh money.<br />
Alot of people might prolly disagree with me here, maybe i'm just getting older, maybe i have a different perception of thing, who knows. But at least teh 2 guys i spent teh majority of time with had a very similar opinion of this. Don't get me wrong here, i had a good time but moar bc of teh idiots i went with and not because of Ibiza and i could have that good time basically everywhere else in teh world for a fraction of teh money or a better time for teh same money if i think about Florianopolis, Brazil where i was 3 years ago during carnival which is just waaaay better on any level if you compare to Ibiza in it's current state...<br />
Last but not least couple of Ibiza shots:<br />

Anyways, was fairly relieved when i could finally leave after 6 days with destination Malta. Scored a quite decent flight (it's normally big hassle to go Ibiza-Malta) but took only 4 hours with one stop in Barca. Unfortunately this layover was too short for my lugage so that i ended up without it for teh first days in Malta.<br />
First night i crashed on teh couch of another grinder and on teh next day teh goal was to find a flat for 4-6weeks. Shortlets though are a big pain in teh ass which i realized quite quickly so that there was not much available and what was available was nice but sick expensive (for example if you would rent it longterm would be like 1.2keur and shortterm they ask 2.5k+ a month). However ran fairly lucky when another player i had on facebook approached me if i want to move into his penthouse and share rent so that i snapped that offer and basically moved in 3 hours later.<br />

Feeling quite good here atm with my 2 roomates and we having tons of fun for sure. Also be able to put in decent amount of work in which finally seems to pay off this month.<br />
Was really nice to come back here and meet all teh people again and see how they doing, little bit of party etc. but after 1 month in i can oreddi moar and moar tell why i left in teh first place last october and getting excited about going back to Bangkok end of teh month.<br />
So far i've been out 2-3times a week here but still was able to play alot which is good. However good old paceville just bores teh shit out of me so that i will try and focus on other parties teh last 2 weeks i'm here. But in teh end in regards to put in serious work and make money Bangkok is definitely teh better place for me. Just too many distractions here, people drinking 24/7, party after party after party, etc. Definitely good for a couple of weeks but too hardcore for me to do it longer than that. The other thing is also quality. In Bkk i go out on night a week and i know teh night is teh bomb, no matter what. Here i can go out 4 days a week and it's a complete hit and miss and if you run bad all parties were shit...<br />
<br />
Allrighty, almoast over teh hangover so time to finish this up and go back to work. Also finally no moar fucking football for teh next 2 years and finally Germany on top of teh world again - bout time!<br />
