Thanks,
I will probably do another challenge, since i withdrew most of the winnings... But that will be another story

Last week was a no poker week, and it will maybe continue in the next month or so.... Spring came, which means work has started...
Went with Mrs. on her ultrasound check, and they said that for the next three weeks we can expect baby boy to arrive anytime:f_love::f_love::f_love:
Therefore many distractions, no concentration for grinding

Hope everyone else is having at least as much fun

Hey! Congratulations for this huge MTT win! Wow!
Would be interesting to hear where did you spend it!

Haven't visited your blog for a while now. First of all I would like to congratulate for the baby:f_thumbsup: I wish everything the best to all three of you.

Also I somehow overlooked your big mtt score! Congrats on deep run...but why didn't you win:f_ugly:

Keep us updated and enjoy:f_biggrin:

Thanks man. ♠_cool:
As for the money, most of it is withdrawn, and will go, and already went to adapt to the additional family member (+buying a 5 door car, with a nice boost from mtt win)
Also decided to invest some of it into coaching, but that will happen from June onwards, as for micros, nothing new, BR is good for NL25, but I'm still @NL10, until I show some decent results, but I can play NL25 when I feel like it and maybe even lose a BI or two

Thanx,
we're expecting our baby boy in the next few days, getting very anxious
Oh boy, how I wish I shipped the MTT.... Entered the final table as chip leader, no cooler, or setups whole night, but then just the cards stopped coming, and I am not that skilled in final table play, when it got down to the three of us I was the shortest stack (and pretty drunk ), but hey, next time I'll ship it ♠_thumbsup:

Actually here is the hand where I got out:

Spoiler

PKR - Hold'em Cash Games - $10000/20000 Blinds - 3 Players
Hand Converter by Pokerhand.org

Player2 (SB): $1,302,498
Player5 (BB): $564,896
Hero (BTN): $337,606

Pre-flop: Dealt to Hero J♥ J♣
Hero raises to $60,000, (1 folds), Player5 calls $40,000

Flop: ($130,000) 4♣ K♦ 4♥ (2 Players)
Player5 checks, Hero bets $90,667, Player5 raises to $181,334, Hero raises to $181,334, Player5 calls $90,667

Turn: ($674,002) 4♠ (2 Players)
Player5 bets $20,000, Hero calls $3,605

River: ($697,607) Q♥ (2 Players)

Player5 Showed K♥ T♥
Hero Showed J♥ J♣
Player5 wins $16,395
Player5 wins $687,212

Maybe I played it wrong, it's pretty obvious he has a K when he raises, but hey, I ended up on the podium

Thank You all for still following my blog, I hope I will get back to regular bloging next month...

Congratulation for the MTT win. In that hand it was most optimal to just get it in with 16 bigs as you're last, JJ are the nuts three handed and you don't have any ICM pressure on you as you're short. But top 3 is really good in a tourney where the buy-in was prolly around 150 dollars.

BOOOM, I'm back!

almost three years have passed since my last post!

I see that my last post was on May 5th so 9 days before my baby boy came to this world, so that could be the main reason for my absence. But its not. Completely.

After MTT win, I cashed out some of the winnings, purchased W34z3l school, and decided to go trough micros the right way. Adam is a great coach, and we had some great sessions, but I had to start a second job, due to expenses rise, and there was 0 time for poker.
Jump started again in late 2016, played some MTTs again scored around 4k on 888 poker (great field), contacted Adam to continue with school (18 months passed, and we continued with the next lesson like it was yesterday), but then the real problems started

After the MTT wins, I started to do sports arbitrage (with a software), and some online live casino as well. As I was on a roll, I won 1,2k on arbitrage for less then 2 months but got banned from most sites (didnt use VPN), and got some nice cash on blackjack also. With my gambling habits, I started doing arbitrage without software on a hunch, and started losing money rapidly. Started chasing gambling promotions, opening slots, etc., you know how it goes (hopefully you dont!)
From August 2017 to February 1018 I lost all money I had on my e wallets (around 6k) plus deposited 4k more from withdrawn winnings. in other words spent almost all the money I approximately ever won online (mtts, arbitrage and gambling).
That was a wake up call, as I always considered myself a very responsible person, I was unable to admit that I have a gambling problem! Good thing is that my family did not suffer greatly since I never invested any of the money from our household (but then again we could have had some great vacations with that money).
So not to get too pathetic or something, here comes the good part!
In the process of curing my gambling addiction I have decided to do it with.......

With little money left from all this decided to enter CFP and learn to play solid micros poker, and creating a base for future vacations and MTT wins ♦
i guess I will be opening a new blog, will post the link here as soon as I start it!

Play safe and GL @ the tables
