Players, Grinders & Pussies

Let’s cut right to the chase: The Player What kind of person is a player? We can define a player as a person who enjoys taking risks and getting maximum out of anything he does, no matter if it is poker, gambling in general, business, investing, relationships, going out with friends etc. He simply has […]

Aim for Great instead of Good

64 Squares Robotic grinders make good players, but we’re mostly interested in what makes great poker players. From what I’ve observed, I think it’s mostly openness to new ideas, which translates into intelligence. Combined with hard, deliberate practice of course – too much practice for a normal person to handle! Nobody ever played great chess […]

Oh boy, the sail is set – King’s of Tallinn, here we come! Less than 14 hours to the departure – hoping we go on an even keel as the Maria storm has hit the coast since the weekend. You can expect the first session report at latest on Thursday noon. (a week goes by) It’s […]

Smooth Sailing

Song & narration playing in my head: Rounders intro scene It’s Day 15 of live poker in a row. I’m running above expectation, most sessions have been smooth sailing. Yesterday poker was quite fun, and since I haven’t played any interesting NLHE hands for a while, there was one hand with multiple factors that made it […]

Theme of the Year 2020

”Practice like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.” Song playing in the background: Dire Straits – Money For Nothing It’s 2020 and the theme of the poker year is locked for my poker playing character, that little nerd inside me that wants to figure out everything but has failed in implementing his strategies […]

At the familiar little park near Imperial Wharf I prepare for my sprints and observe the different people walking […]
