It’s a long way
- 2 Comments... What do you have to say?
Unfortunately I’ve to lower my sights once again. It’s a long way till Vegas and it’s even longer if you go in the opposite direction. I don’t want to whine once again, I’ll be giving a recap about the last couple of days and I’ll be talking about lower expectation.
At the moment I’m in the biggest downswing of my entire career, something in the very high five figure direction with cash outs and living expenses. I was weak last year and basically burned a lot of money, but I already accepted that. There is no need to bother about things what already happened and are not changeable anymore. The good thing is that I picked up courage with the start of the New Year, the bad thing is that I’m just not running well and I’m already down 12k in EV.
I played a little bit of heads-up cashgame lately and things are not going my way. I’ve also tried to go back and grind SNGs, just 24 tabling on lower stakes to maintain a high ROI but I’m not able to do that. I just want to puke when these annoying things start. Not to mention that it’s hard to focus on something what you hate to do…
I wanted to play EPT Berlin and very likely EPT Snowfest (in Austria) and EPT San Remo. I did some calcs and I’ll be skipping these events 99%. I’m also skipping the 2,5k FTOPs what really pisses me off but I already dropped the idea of playing 5/10 when cashgames arrive and my bankroll for 2/4-3/6 will be in serious danger if I don’t start winning soon and still play the FTOPs. The main goal is still Vegas, so skipping these tournaments for my original plan seems to be the only correct decision. Even if I don’t feel like gambling and I’m not going as long as I wanted to go it’s good to have something what you can aim for.
However, that’s about the 99% of the time, but at the end I probably end up running godlike and these 1% will happen so I’ll be playing all the tournaments mentioned above. I’m happy that the down doesn’t affect me and my life at all. There are more important things in life and I still got time to make my millions :).
Not sure when I’m blogging again, I guess mid-to-end February sounds good.
Take care guys,

Hi Tobias, what do you think is the best way to improve cash game for a sng player (deuces cracked videos, any books for example professional no limits hold em).
Do you think cash game in Italy could start before May-June?

I really hope they introduce cashgame in March, but I have no idea.. May-June would be a real disaster.
Not sure how well you play post flop and if you ever played 100bb+ and deepstack poker, if not I recommend reading 2+2 SSNL forum, you will find there tons of information. I’m doing recently a lot of math, this helps me getting a better feeling of FE, BE points and EQ against various ranges. I never saw any DC videos, I’ve only experience w/ CR, but I’ve heard good stuff about them. Videos are definitly a good way to improve. I think by far the most important thing is posting and discussing hands in forums.
