Monat: Januar 2005

Today is last day in january and therefore time for the first reflection in this year. First and most important their is our poker bankroll. While getting a nice blast in late december and early january we are suffering since we went to tunica. We played tournaments for about 27k (including satelittes) and lost it […]

I just checked Pokerpages for the latest about the WPT Tunica main event and was shocked to see that Danial Negreanu is again on the final table with the second-most chips. This is scary. My thoughts are going to a scene in Rounders where Mike McDermott explains poker in the street to his girlfriend Jo. […]

My sleep last night was not to good at all. While I felt asleep after my head hit the cushion (around 6:45pm when I was up, traveling/working 36 hours) after some hours I woke up and could not sleep again for some hours as all the happenings over the last days went thru my head. […]

Starting from Stuttgart I came to Frankfurt an hour early as I catched a better train connection. Katja was already waiting form me in the hotel lobby of the Sheraton at the airport. Bad news: no room free! I was a little surprised as they have over a 1,000 rooms there and nothing very special […]

My last workday before Tunica is halfway through now. In only 7 hours I’ll be heading to Frankfurt, meeting Katja and tomorrow morning we are taking off to Memphis. Up to one hour before I was stone cold and it was just annother appointment. Now I begin to get exicited. I got news from Katja […]

I found the lost picture from weighting at Dec. 31th, 2004. 110kg for me and 138 for him, including clothes. PPM IV 4th qualifier updates: -Katja starts with 1,000, I start with 3,000 -Very first hand: 99, it raised and reraised, I call 300, flop comes KKx, I fold to a 500 bet. On the […]

After that failure on friday morning (well, mid-day here) I unfortunatly got no sleep. I went to lunch with my son and did some work afterwards. At 8pm we left for our live PLHE game, having already registered for the second qualifier. There all went well (me loosing 2k but Katja won over 4k) and […]

As I am writing here we have started to play the first qualifier for the PPM IV just 5 minutes ago and I am waiting for the „Super Thursday“ as my sidegame. My first hand was 77 and when flopping a 7 I won the first pot. Good sign! We just came back from the […]

Katja got a new nickname, „Lady Horror“. How come? We have a daily pot-limit holdem game running here since about 10 days, 10-20 blinds with a 500eur buyin. She totally cleaned out everybody. While some others may have won marginal amounts during these days, she keeps on booking winnings like 3k, 6k or even 7k. […]
