Time is a flyin'

Live tourneys:
I skipped EPT Budapest because I really didn't feel like dealing with the travelling. Since I have a ton of travelling coming up in a couple months so I want to cherish my time in Berlin for now. I'll be playing the Deutsche Meisterschaften in Hamburg on November 13th. The fact that it's a crapshoot definitely increases my chances of winning :) It's certainly not a real German championship like they make it out to be, as it is pretty much exclusive to northern Germany.

Rake race:
Several people have asked me if I plan on going for the win in the next BossMedia rake race coming up on November 10th. It's only one week this time with the winner getting €12k. There are a couple reasons why I won't be playing it:
a) the money is less this time for the same amount of work
b) the Deutsche Meisterschaften are right in the middle of it
c) I like my life and I'd rather not sacrifice another week of freedom sitting here in front of my computer

Weight loss prop betting:
I've found a new victim. Ramin "raminator" Henke thinks he can drop from 89kg to 80kg by the start of the Aussie Millions. The bet is for €4k and 10% of the Aussie Millions. Anything between 80-81kg is a chop, I win at anything above 81.01kg. The chances of him winning are slim, his laziness will get the best of him for sure.

Online poker:
I didn't play much at all in October, but I can still be satisfied with the results. Some days all the networks are DEAD and some days there are more tables than anyone can handle, it's really a strange phenomenon. I've been spending my downtime watching tv shows and they are really consuming me.

Election:
And in closing, Obama ftw. They didn't send me my voting ballot so I guess I'm not voting this time around but I'll certainly be following it closely. Neither candidate will make a big difference for me taxwise, but Obama is clearly the better allround candidate all things considered imho. Germans are also following the race closely, click that link. It's worth it!
