Since we want to bring this blog back to life here comes another update about what I've done in the last days. Last Sunday I played the birthday million on Partypoker, which began promising. I was able to take down a couple of nice pots. Later on I was unfortunately pretty card dead. I can't really remember how I busted but after all I didn't manage to get in the money anyway. The 100k guaranteed on Stars went bad as well, I lost with AK 2 times against KQ. Domination is obviously not as bad as you'd think. At the same time the Sunday Million on Stars started and I played it as I did in the last weeks. As I recognized that there was no coach in the FL coaching I decided to take this one over and make a special MTT coaching. I told the listeners that I would continue as long as the tourney takes. Some hours later the Dutch admin Sharp80 joined the coaching as we where on the money bubble. We both where pretty short stacked. We both managed it to get in the money. Just a few hands Sharp busted unluckily. I however was able to double up twice and was therefore back in the game. Some time later we where down to 400 players as I got 99 on the button. An aggressive Tag raised and I shoved with my small chip-stack all-in. I knew that he had a strong hand and that I was probably flipping due to the fact that he raised the 2 hands before as well and got re-raised, whereupon he folded, in the hand before. He turned over AQs. Everybody in the channel, including me of course, crossed their finger but I was unlucky as on the river appeared an Ace. I busted as 363th worth $820, which was not a bad result. Thanks again to anybody who supported me till the end.

The day before, on Saturday, I was playing cash-game (NL and Omaha) with some other admins from the other communities. I lost about 4 stacks, which is no wonder since I always play maniac style in these games. Later at home I thought: " No, I can't end the day like that". I opened PartyPoker and started to play NL200 and 400. After an hour I was 1.2k up and went satisfied to bed. 

That's it for today. Till the next update Wink

As I didn't post here since a while it's time for an update. I finally had time to play a little bit cash game again. I played mainly Nl 200 SH and NL400 SH on PartyPoker. Furthermore I made a shot NL 600 SH. It where quite successful days. Laughing I made like 1.7k in 3 days with a nice win-rate. The limits I played where pretty aggressive, at least that's what I experienced. I haven't played cash games seriously a long time, so it was nice to be back at the tables. I recognized that even regulars have very high WTSD values like 33 and higher. That makes it easy to get value on the river. Anyway...I had a lot of fun playing again. One night I met a huge fish on a NL400 table sitting there with 3 stacks. This guy played like 80/30 and raised nearly any flop. I was wondering why the other tags didn't adjust at his play. Just one TAG did so, he started to min-raise on the BU when the fish was on the SB. Pretty interesting how he tried to adjust at the fish. Whatsoever I missed some value-bets against him, because it was difficult to put him on a range. After 1 hour the fish was broke and I had 300 Dollars more on my account. I don't think this guy will read this blog - but if he does - Thank you! Laughing

Ok, enough for now, I'll update this blog as soon as I can.

Finally the time has come for me to write my first post, it took me long enough.Smile

Most of you know me already, so there is no need to introduce myself in detail. I'll just tell you something about myself. I am a former coach and handjudge of the German community (which I still like to do, when I have time). For 2 months I have been the admin of the English community, working together with SoyCD. In the past, I mostly played NL SH up to  NL $400. In the last few weeks I've started to play FL SH up to $5/$10, which is a lot of fun due to the very bad opponents. When I find time, I also like to play tournaments.

Last Sunday, I played the Sunday million on Poker Stars and finished 40th, worth $2,2k. After the Battle of the Donkeys came to an end I concentrated completely  on this tourney. I opened up a thread in the forum and updated it whenever something interesting happened. Swiss, Cannel, Cardbender and VinoKom posted in this thread to support me. Swiss and Cannel stayed with me all night long till the end. Special thanks to both. Smile I had a lot of very important hands in the tourney. But the hand I would call the key hand was the following: I had Ak in UTG and raised to 100k (I had 800K). A mid stack with 400k moved all-in and I called. He had 77, I didn't improve and lost the hand. I was down to 400k instead of being up to 1.3 million. But that happens, of course. Before that hand, I won every coin flip and never got sucked out. The hand I finally busted with was ATs in the SB. I pushed for 9 BB and got called by AA. Unfortunately I didn't suck out. To win a tourney your really need a lot of luck.

Aside from poker, things are going pretty well. I like my job a lot and have a nice place to live. I've started playing golf. I really enjoy this sport. But it's pretty hard to learn. I am still working on my drive.

That's it for today.

Yours,

TribunCaesar
