March was a rather short month pokerwise, as I was sick at the beginning and started the grind super late. Still I had set a few competetive goals which I mostly managed to achieve, even though alot of changes happened during the month in my current stable Smart Spin which took alot of attention away … More March 2019 Recap
Welcome to my delayed February Recap. Sadly the flu caught up on me and bound me to bed for the last 9 days. But let’s not get distracted and talk some poker! This month taught me how incredible cruel streaks in Spin & Goes can be. All February was just about damagecontrolling and learning how … More February 2019 Recap
In January I had to change my goal for the month rather soon, as Pokerstars started a promotion which added $5 and $25 Spin & Goes. As you can hunt for a million Dollars there, for sure plenty of the recreational players, that would usually play a limit around them (i.e. $3 to $30), got … More January 2019 Recap
First of all let me wish you a happy new beginning of the year. Yet again I have to report, that I failed my volume goal in December, but it was just out of my control, so I’m not dissapointed at all. First my brother went for a visit, which was great! Later in the … More December 2018 Recap
Winter is coming! But we are prepared Pokerwise November actually was a decent month considering the goals I set beforehanded. The Volume was super low as expected, but I got in a lot of high quality hours especially on the study part. My partice partner excluded himself from playing to prepare better for his exams, … More November 2018 Recap
October was a single big struggle again. I had to change the goal from moving up, towards fighting to not go down a limit rather early in the month. That, including the facts that I had to attend something similar to a 9 to 5 job again, looking for a new car and being sick … More October 2018 Recap
September was the last month I planned to get used to everything that is different between my old stable and Smart Spin. I had a high Learn-to-Grind ratio in order to learn everything the right way. Basically everything I did in September only was done to be able to grind comfortably in Oktober, so I … More September 2018 Recap
Welcome to my August Recap. As announced last month already, August was the first month I played Spin & Goes under the banner of Smart Spin. After some struggles early on, where I played a hybride mix of old and new stables strategies, and therefor got poor results, I by now feel more confident than … More August 2018 Recap
Next awkward month! But last one for now, promised! First and only time you won’t see any numbers in here. I did play 500 Spin and Goals on 5$ limit quite successfully, but they aren’t on any Tracker so I just won’t talk about them. If you are just here for the numbers, you can … More July 2018 Recap
June was an awkward month. Really awkward. I spent the last 3 hours thinking about how to approach this monthly recap, as things are different than usual. In the beginning of June, Alvaro, the co-founder of the stable I was part in, was found cheating and therefor banned with immediate effect on PokerStars. As the … More June 2018 Recap
Thanks for dropping by and welcome to my May Recap! As you may already have read in my April Recap, I finally got in a healthstate that allows me to go back to work. I still have to use crunches from time to time, but I’m improving slowly but steady! I wanned to go back … More May 2018 Recap
April came to an end and so comes my free time from work soon. Beginning next week I have to go to my dayjob again, finally! Pokerwise April was very challenging as I made myself alot of pressure with my ambition to go up a limit again! My database got destroyed twice over the month, … More April 2018 Recap
Happy chaotic Eastern! And welcome to my March 2018 Recap As I caught the flue in the beginning of March I had to cancel the “4000 Spins in 31 days challenge”. Therefor I changed my approach to Spins a little. I only 2 tabled most of March and focused more on making the correct plays. … More March 2018 Recap
On 12th February I was able to start the grind again. Since then I am investing more than ever to improve as a player. Every day, I grinded 5-6 hours at least and studied 2 additional hours. As I’m in the middle of a “4k Spins in 31 days challenge” it often occured that I … More February 2018 Recap
First off I’m sorry for the delayed recap, but until yesterday evening I was still in the hospital recovering from a planned surgery. Gladly all went well so all it takes is a few weeks of time now for me to be completely recovered, hopefully fitter than I’ve been in a long time! Only bad … More January 2018 Recap
Happy new Year! December finally went as planned. I’m German, and we Germans are not really know for being the most spontanious guys! Having a strict plan without unforseen stuff happening is exactly what we need to perform well! In December I had 21 days of grinding as we had alot of family birthdays and … More December 2017 Recap
November was a very challenging month with very ambitious goals set beforehand. But there are always things that can’t be taken under consideration when setting goals. That’s what happened in November. Right in the beginning of the month my girlfriend had to stay in hospital and get surgery. While I do not want to get … More November 2017 Recap
