[Closed] a coachs diary

Hello Grummeler!

It is nice to see that you are starting a blog :). I will sure be following it and I hope you catch an upswing soon to end your May misery :).

P.S. I've seen you play a 5$ 10k GTD on stars as well ;). Micro stakes poker!

Regards,

Primzi

Hey! Nice to see you make a blog!! Just try to write some positive things too and not just bad beats hope you have better luck soon!

3rd June:

im feeling fine, still a bit tired because of our boardgame yesterday (we played twighlight imperium, a very nice intergalactic wargame , and by the way i won ♦) but today i start playing a bit earlier because in the evening i dont have the time to.

starting with a 33$ 20k @ps, and a 24$ 8,5k @ FT poker.

i think today i will break the run

wow nice to see you there i wish you good luck and some nice streak like getting into first 3 in 4 tournaments in row should be nice

so the day is ending for me today, and here are my results:

24$ 8,5k 7th place for 302$ makes +278$
33$ 30k 81th place for 60$ makes +27
10$ 3,5k out after 55 minutes -10
24$ 7,5k out after 1,5 hours -24
10$ 10k out after 20 minutes -10

the 7th place was very cool i had AQ and raised the hand, and got called from the bigstack on the button.
flop was AK9 with 2 diamonds, looks pretty good because normally AK, KK, AA are reraising me preflop. so i bet a bit more then half size the pot and he called me.
the turn was another K, not a bad card, because AK AA and KK still beat me, and only KJ, or KQ has improved to beat me so i bet another time around half size the pot and i started to beeing comitted.
he called my bet after some thoughts and the river is a 4. no flush arrives. so im beating most of the aces except for AK and i beat the busted FD obvious. so im shipping the rest of my chips in the middle and he instacalled and turned over Aces full of Kings ♦
so was trapping from the beginning and the case Ace came on the flop to kill me.

but that was ok because i had a bit of luck in that tournament to become 7th place and im not that unhappy with it.

today the outcomming was an overwhelming +261$
combined with the -100$ yestarday this makes up for

+161$ in two days. that sounds nice and after all this final table gave me back some of my believes that i can really do it back to +EV

It's nice to hear that you came 7th in that tourney :).

I hope the luck continues and that I can rail you some more in the futer :).

Good luck!

4rd june:

i played those tournaments:

30$
24$ 96th place -24$
10$ 119th place -10$
10$ 1183th place -10$

and finally after a long long long looooooooooooooong run of bad luck i got it.
i chipped the 30$ tournament after a coinflip with AJ vs 99 and an ace on the river. and then having KK in the BB and he pushes JT.
i had a nervous moment when the flop came T67 but the kings hold up and i won a nice 4800$

wow. finally a nice come back from the dead

so with those
4800$+ -24-10-10 that makes 4756$ plus for today.

totally that makes
4957$+ in the last 3 days.

god im so happy right now. i think im gonna buy me a bottle of wodka and will celebrate the end of the downswing

well done. what i wouldn't do for some wodka right now..

so im feeling very fine but very tired because of this long day. the coaching was fine with a first place and some nice luckbox action ♦

today i was really lucky sometimes but i guess thats ok.
i have all my confidence back now that i can really make it, thx for all of you who believed in me in the coaching and so on

god damn it great to back from the downswing. grummel here i go ! ♠_evil:

Definately a blog I will follow as I want to switch from SnG to MTT full time in the future. Will be nice to read up on your experiences, looks really nice and moderately tempting so far
Maybe u can answer a question for me? What kind of skills and how much general poker experience is needed for a wining poker player to turn into a wining MTT poker player?

So I tuned in quite late in the mtt coaching, and got to hear some really awesome rocky music, but wasn't sure what it was all about. I assume it was when you won? And that you won with a bad hand? Or what?

dont know exactly
todAY its party time.
have a nice weekend vodka awaits me ♦
