winning is a very tough goal in tourney poker but obv the goal that every player sets out for themselves when registering for tourneys, theres a tonne of heartache and pain involved in this game but hanging in there and maintaining a positive attitude will help you deal with the bricks that you throw and make the wins that much more special. Enjoy em when you have em because they dont visit very often
finally a win again,
this time i had not a month full of badbeats, i just couldnt play for a couple of weeks cause i was in africa and had no steady internetconnection 🙁 but back i shipped one in the second session i have played, but only a 1,6k gtd, but it motivates to get back on the grind.

there is nothing better than going on a downswing, having a week off, and then shipping something the night you get back to playing. it reminds you why you love the grind so much.
well done sir
Glad to hear someone’s getting some success, I have tightened
up my game by watching as many early stages vids as possible and now getting
lots of deep runs (plus the odd spazz out on level 2 obv lol) but just getting
my soul crushed for min cashes or just missing the cash with hands not holding
up – very soul destroying – good to hear some success stories to get my hope
back up lol.
@butt:yap losing with the better hand is part of the game and i know sometimes it can be devastating.
but when you have a lot of deep runs its just a question of time till you win some 😉 watch bigdog vids, they had an immense impact on my game!
@hape: lol ty bro, lemme know if you have any special advice for live tourneys 🙂
he has 2 midstages series you should definetly watch, but all his live sweats are great and i also think the “stick it to the man” with him is very educational and entertaining. just his last live sweat series was not his best.
oh and dont forget to watch the 3b shoves theory vid!!! cause i think when you struggle in later stages it all comes down to your 3b shove game 😉
for shortstacked play i'd recommand ttwists “dont call it a comeback” vid
not a win but
just made my first final table on PARTY POKER (3k gtd tourney) and grinded/lucked to finish 2nd place.:)
all in all over the years ive just played 40 tourneys there cause i never liked playin on partypoker, dont know why. now because of bonuses and the upcoming pokerfest i deposited a lil money and i recognized they really do have a great structure:
3k starting stack 15 min levels, level 10: 200-400 (on stars level 10: 300-600) i guess i'll start playin a lil more over there
4th place in the 50$ rebuy (40k gtd) on bwin 🙂
not a win but finally a good score after 2 very very dry weeks
unfortunately this hand went in the wrong direction:
Ongame Network $40,000 European Rebuy No Limit Hold'em Tournament – t4000/t8000 Blinds + t800 – 4 players

Ipokeherxx (BTN): BB = 102.4, t819376
Pre Flop: (t15200) Hero is CO with J K
Hero raises to t16000, 2 folds, Tweng0d calls t8000
Flop: (t39200) Q Q K (2 players)
Tweng0d checks, Hero bets t16000, Tweng0d raises to t44000, Hero raises to t332436 all in, Tweng0d calls t82977 all in
Turn: (t293154) 5 (2 players – 2 are all in)
River: (t293154) A (2 players – 2 are all in)
Final Pot: t293154
Tweng0d shows T 7 (FLUSH KING)
Hero shows J K (TWO_PAIR KING, QUEEN)
Tweng0d wins t293154
i've been at the prague pokerfestival the last week and pokerwise it was close to a disaster,played xtremely bad and ran bad, somehow a bad combination 😉
i played 5 tourneys busted 2 times with QQ (<AA and 2nd time <KK) also AQ<AK and in an ept turbo sideevent i lost 2 50/50ies in a row 🙁
but in the end i got real lucky and won a package for the GSOP live in SALZBURG next month, in a game that needed real skill – a coinflip all in tourney
ok i face the reality, it seems like i cant win anymore 🙁
but i made some great deepruns lately.
and today i made my first 100$ rebuy final table, unfortonately i busted 9th but still a 2,6k win
and i won a hand against bigdog, i take this also as a win 😉
“Only” 18 ft's in January? awesome m8… ur a beast!
ul to make only 1 shippament tho, but if I hear u get sucked out on at rivertime, ur apparently going in with the best hand, so I blame variance for the “1” takedown.
getting deep and into ft's over and over again ensures a good profit in the long run imo… very nice job sir!
finally i got the NATIONS CUP WIN 🙂
1/2318
after a 2nd,7th and 3rd place in recent nation cups it was about time. not much $ but good for the ego 😉
here some TPE promo ;):
