Depending on results, I might add some plo and hu events.

Things going allright I guess, had to move up in limits. And so far I'm doing well. After black friday the stud games on pokerstars are pretty much dead. Since the stud population were mostly Americans. I cant multitable anymore and mixing games from 0,25/0,50 to 2/4 is not working for me.

Good thing I have to change my nightly routine to a back to normal one. Not quit there yet:(

Finding a new grind and filming!

It has been a quite disappointing period of playing the online games lately. I have been pushing volume to some extremes with the expatiation to do well or break even. Instead of  putting time in developing my game, I'm starting to get predictable and exploitable in spots where I have clearly way to many leaks. Its a big sign I need to improve! Bottom line I can't beat the soft games and lost a big bunch back of my winnings.

There is a lot of work to do with my mindset. Accepting loses and keep them to a minimum is one of my weakest points and can be destructive to the point were I have an "I don't care anymore attitude". Its something I always need to consider before jumping in the games and need to recognize the patron and quit immediately when I feel im just pissing away money with no reasonable lines taken and becoming the fish on the table myself. That happened a few times after running terrible. 

An unlucky streak. Even if I do hit quads some one has a royal flush. Witch is so unlikely in stud high: http://weaktight.com/3195406 Thats summing up how I run. After that I was fed up how slow pokerstars rewards me with vpp's to buy a bonus or to clear the stellar rewards, that I moved my bankroll to full tilt to get a weekly rakeback. 

Its was a fun ride on full tilt. Playing stud 0,50/1 was again like on stars a pain in the ass. So I mixed some 1/2 and 2/4 stud high games and pretty much owned that games. I limited the tables to just two tables, what helped a lot. Did pretty well in the 10 mix games and ran terrible at the low plo10 regular tables. But made a nice profit playing plo25. 

But I promised myself to stay at the stud games. And cashed out my hole roll and bought a led TV a HUGE one:) That arrives tomorrow at noon. I also bought a video camera. And planning a new start on stars playing as low as 0,04/0,08 to rebuild a good roll and document it.

I've been taping some samples, but have to figure out Imovie to get some better results. 

Its getting way better, but to give you an idea, here is some material:

2011 plans!

I am a stranger in this new town. Have to find my way a bit. But surely its just a matter of time before I feel home. So welcome to my thought spins and  my adventures!

The title of this blog refers to a great German philosopher. He was a controversial thinker and inspired me to see the world in a different perspective. Its time for me to go out there and planning to show you how it looks.

About myself: Unemployed, past the 30 year mark, some issues and that are just he good things about me:) I have my own place and living with my 8 months old cat called: Boris, in the Netheralnds.

I have a hate love relationship with online poker. Roughly I have been playing for 5 years and tried becoming a pro in 2009. I had a "to high to much" spending patron and wasn't able to move down and went broke. In 2010 I recored a 25 times broke till busto record. Do I have a gamble problem? And struggled a lot and still do with confidence.

I gave up the dream becoming a full time gambler/pokerplayer. Just don't have it in me grinding the games for so long each day in and out. No surrender! When it becomes to having the ability to become a steady winner in online poker games. But I have to make a radical switch, finding new edges in low risk limit games with minimum losses and high wins. Doing pretty well, and having fun again and less stress playing your mtt life  in plus EV shove spot or your 300bb stack vs other deep stack in a 60/40 flip on the flop. I can't handle it!

My plans for this year is to play the limit games as in stud high. Moving up when I have atleast a 400BB roll and drop down when im below 300. Playing for points to order a camera 60.000 on full tilt and 55.000 on stars, and show you my world.
