Hands and pictures

I must have been the only poker player without Pokertracker...until yesterday. For the longest time it was not compatible with Bossmedia, but now things seem to be working fully. The only problem is that the program does not recognize the difference between the multiple gaming currencies, so the total winnings/losses stats are slightly off.

I really like playing the Euro and GBP tables though because I think people underestimate the value of the money, meaning they are a lot more likely to stack off lightly and make looser calls at GBP600 rather than at USD1000, even though the USD1000 is significantly less money.

Luckily all the important stats at Pokertracker like VPIP, PFR, AF, etc. are still accurate and my first 60k hands give me a good idea where I and where my opponents stand for now. One additional benefit is that the hand histories are saved and easy to locate, which is something I always had problems with in the past. Here are some big HHs from the last few days:

NL5k stack says adieu: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1825560

Literally 5 minutes later, another one bites the dust. Sick setup here against one of the biggest winners at Boss: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1825563

My aces hold on a pretty sketchy flop: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1830868

We're pretty deep and I 4bet preflop and then checked behind on the flop to rep AK, though it would not have made much difference: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1830875

I am pretty embarassed to post this hand, this is bad on so many levels. This move is incredibly -EV, please do not try this at home: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1830857

I like this move against these two particular opponents on this board. The river is awesome for me and my half-pot fake value bet takes it down: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1830883

I flop a monster draw and get it in, hit the river obv: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1830885

Of all the hands in his range (which is very isolated btw), I was certainly not expecting to see this one at showdown: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1830895

All in all things have not been running too smoothly lately, but I'm sure it'll turn around pretty quick, I'm very happy with my game right now, so it's just a matter of time.

Oh yeah, one anonymous comment poster requested some pictures from Prague, so here you go:

Group photo at the Coyote Bar (Czech version of Coyote Ugly)
from l.t.r Chris, Seb, Morris, Flo, Flo's friend, me, Tobi...not pictured: the Zink brothers, Freddy


Someone thought it would be a good idea to order champagne. Gives me a reason to post a pic of our waitress.

Tobi and Seb armwrestling for money. Tobi won with ease and both lost the beer chugging competition to Flo, haha.

Random gambling in the hotel room. Me most likely losing. Pretty boring.

Lohnt sich der Mehrgewinn auf NL 600GBR im vergleich zum höheren Rake?

mMn ja. Es ist natürlich hart, $6 (3 GBP) pro Hand an Rake zu zahlen, aber für mich lohnt es sich trotzdem. Ich finde es auch eigentlich eine absolute Frechheit, dass soviel aus einem Pot geraked wird, aber zum boykottieren sind die Tische einfach zu juicy.

Für Lowlimit Spieler würde ich auf jeden Fall nur USD Tische empfehlen, da man als Low Limit Spieler viel mehr gegen das Rake kämpft.

wo konntest du das aussie package kaufen? von celeb poker? hat es noch mehr zum vorzugspreis?

Ich hab das Package von einem Bekannten abgekauft, der es bei Betfair gewonnen hat. Soweit ich weiß kann man die Packages nicht direkt von der Seite kaufen, sondern nur wenn die schon von jemand anderem gewonnen wurden.
