After finishing a long PLO soulreading session I thoughts it was time for a short update. More than a month has passed since my last blog post. Brutal things happened this summer and I had / wanted to make sure that one person cannot track whats going on in my life.
Before I start writing some stuff I wanna make one thing clear: This post doesn't mean im back to blogging. Actually it is very likely I won't ever be back to blogging like before (which was very regularly). There is a chance I will be updating once in a while. But I'm not even sure about that. Time will tell I guess Could be I stop by here once a week for some poker updates or just discussing things about a video series etc.

After stopping I got many messages, esp in Skype. Def more than I expected. And I realised that way more people were following that blog than I thought. So many never posted but visited my blog regularly. Thanks at all for the nice messages I got. I think I replied to all of them. If not, please flame me in Skype!

This is gonna be a long blog entry with three main topics, it will start out with sad news and throughout this post it will hopefully end in positive energy.

SCAMMING, CHEATING BETRAYAL

What I have experienced this summer was basically the biggest personal betrayal a person/family can experience in many aspects. Besides tough months this year it will also have longterm effects and it definitely destroyed parts of my understanding of life. I won't go into detail, thats all I will say about this huge nightmare.

My overall attitude has always been to help people out. Especially people I have a close relationship with. Also, I think in the longrun I can only achieve my business world domination plans if I am good to everybody on my way to the top. I did never like the idea of borrowing money to friends or staking people. However, many plrs in the (online) poker world need stakings and stakings overall make sense and if both parties are trustworthy usually ends in a win-win situation. I also can't play 25/50 ++ on my own bankroll (and I dont want to cuz I have my moniez mostly invested in business ventures and not lying around) and I also did make use of stakings with close highroller friends. win-win.
I am very paranoid in general when it comes to lending ppl moniez. However, one friend had some troubles and since I am a nice guy and also staked him I thought its not a huge issue. We are talking about a good amount of money. I saved his ass quite some times I would say. Well, long story short: Over the last months he doesnt feel the need to reply to my messages and didnt start paying back his debts slowly ... just nothing, pure silence.
Yesterday I decided the nice TT style is over. He will now feel the powerrrrr Tony G Style. Obv I won't go into detail here what exactly is going to happen. And yes, he is also PS member. I don't want to say who it is today, but I will do so in the future. You guys can be sure I will make sure he wont be able to ask for staking around her. (@ those who know, pls don't mention the name for now, ty)

On top of that a very good friend of mine just got scammed by a family member (!) for a solid 5 figure amount.

My question now to you: WTF is wrong with people?? Is this how the world works for everybody? Just scamming and betraying everyone? I really really see and understand how ppl become mass-murderers. I mean the amount of hate I accumulate atm is def too much for a weak mind. If this shit continues for some years, I dont know but I think I would tell the police to arrest me to save the world cuz I dont know what I would do with so much anger and hate in me.

POKER

Black Member Party Budapest last week was great. For next year Stockholm, London and Hamburg in my BMP schedule.
Met many great guys, had cool talks and also fun partying (basically for the first time in months I felt "free").

I played basically every game format over the last weeks FLHE HU/SH (lol maybe not the smartest idea, but I wanted to clear PE bonus faster, and I def learned a lot) NLHE HU/SH/FR, PLO HU/SH, HU-SNG, SH-SNG ....

Had crazy sessions in all games. Biggest variance in HU SNG, followed by HU PLO .... all the rest play in another league ♦

To post at least one funny hand: this guy from Canada had a nickname like "IlooseMonieez" ♦ muahhahah, well and in this hand he berated me for quite a while after the hand that "he was ahead ... far ahead and I should fold my fkn AQ .... " lol i was 55:45 favourite here but whatever, didnt want to hurt his feelings ♦ well, also funny cuz I asked him if he wanted to rebuy and try to get his moniez back and he just said "account busted" - muhahaha, account busting is most fun. usually its more fun if you could take several stacks, not just 50bb but fun anyway ♠_biggrin:

Yout might have noticed, some weeks ago I could win the seat for PH Championships in London in November. TLN was so nice to let me win in our heads-up. Nice freeroll and paid hotel/flights. Will meet many friends in London and hopefully also see some new faces!

During WCOOP I only played one event. Came pretty deep but unfort busted 15th place. Close to the FT and the real money places but losing AQ vs AQ pre didnt help in the end

BUSINESS LIFE / PRIVATE LIFE

I could write pages on that topic, but will try to make things short.
Being nice to everyone also has its benefits ofc, I dont get scammed everytime. Knowing many smart guys helps in getting business ventures going. Atm I have 2 promising projects running. In both companies we are a small but smart and dedicated team. One is in the energy sector and involves millions, so it will be supported by banks. The other one is small in terms of investments (though the connecting ideas behind have huuuge potential) so we could start it without banks or investors from outside. Looks promising overall. More to come

One thing I did never verbalise but probably knew inside through history in my own life. I recently read it and didnt't think it was that important, but it probably is. They key to success (or lets say one of the main keys) is auto/self suggestion. Mindset is important, but you also really need to believe in your visions and really really have faith. Im not a pro about self suggestion, but will probably read more about it. (Any book recommendations appreciated)

My daily schedule also changed a bit. Basically I commit noons and afternoons to private coachings/video recordings and especially working on my business projects. I only grind evenings / nights. (But I still play a lot )
I dont care if its Monday or Sunday. Ofc, if I feel like playing golf/tennis or we have a party scheduled I do that. I dont have a 5 day working week like others do. I also dont like to use the term work-life balance. Why should I balance it? Isnt work part of life? So it should be a life-balance. Whatever I am working on should also enhance my life overall and my happiness EV. I dont like these modern expressions and I even think there are just badly used and misunderstood.

After recent events this summer I also decided that the "lowroller" life style has to end as things can turn around so fast, I wanna live in a baller apartment and have a sicko office etc. Long story short: I got my penthouse city centre Its rented but I plan on staying here for a looong time. Its just nuts! Not completely furnished ofc, but parts of the office are in, bathrooms are rdy ... so I already live here ♠_love: roof terrace, 140m2 2 floor penthouse. nuff said? pics or ...

office:

my coach @ work, view and my gaming room.

/

The flat is very central and just awesome. I usually dont like to spend a lot of money for things, but the furniture will be nuts so this time I am willing to spend quite some money ♦ One time! Its the place I live, so I think it should be a nice place for me spend so many hours. I have three bedrooms, one fun/gaming/living room, huge kitchen/dining room, 2 bathrooms, one big office with 2 setups, roof terrace. love it

OK, enough rambling for now. One more last thing: I opened a Twitter account for some trash tweeting. Make sure you follow me http://twitter.com/tw1cet

if you have a jacuzzi, I will be instantly book a ticket to Vienna. one-way preferably ♦

here ya go; ♣ some luck of the Irish.

The bear has its own setup now ? Whata baller bear ♦

I guess it's just the only way to learn that some people do everything for money. I think if you ask a lot of rich people who made their money on their own you will find out most of them have at least 1 such story, whether it's for a lot of money or just a bit. I just see it as something stupid that was unavoidable for me at that time, but now I've learned from it and it won't happen again.

(I obv don't know the details of your case, it just seems a lot of people have a comparable experience at least once)

btw, did we play HU?

+1

Situations like that have to be viewed in terms of RL variance IMHO. At least that's how similar stories from folks I've come across seemed to deal with such things.

Awesome to see you moving forward Monkey Man.

A couple of posts like this a week or a short one every day should be enough ♦ and I promise we won't call it blogging

omg baller apartment, can I move in there? It looks fucking asweomse!

Welcome back! Nice post btw

Meh scammers. Can't see why anyone would do it tbh, to ultimately get your name blacklisted online forever and betray people that thought they were you friends just does not seen worth a bit of money to me. But hell, I guess people go crazy over money.

I'm a hitman, enquire within.

Glad to hear it was already planned, we're hopeful about weeding the scammers out, but as always we need community help reporting that it's happened.

holy cow, hopefully not ♦

I only played on Party. 5/10 and 10/20. But mostly SH, not much HU. So its very unlikely. But maybe you realised huge waiting lists on 10/20 one day and also joined my table ♦ ♦ ♦
