Alchemy of Poker

Dear Alchemists, this week I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that I am joining the pokerstrategy team. I am very happy that my journey in the poker world in the year 2006 now results in a coaching job at the site that I have been a member of for 16 years now. I am very happy to be able to record videos of tournaments for you in the future, initially in German. On 15.02.2022 I was already interviewed for the English community by Coach Lemon about my poker journey. So if you missed the coaching on Tuesday, I'll be happy to post the link to the video here as soon as it's online. At the moment I'm still working on the stream layout for the first video which will be about my bread and butter format SNGs. Of course I will continue to participate in the BR-Challenge and continue to maintain this blog, which I owe all this. This will also allow me to offer private coaching, which I am particularly looking forward to. On the health side, I'm slowly getting be...

I find it very important to adapt my coaching to the individual needs and wishes of the learners. First of all we find out together which coaching variant is the best for you, so that you can develop the way you want to. Enclosed I have listed some topics and variations for you to get an impression. Basics -How to study the game of poke...

Dear Alchemists, this week I am writing a somewhat shorter post than usual, as I am still dealing with the aftermath of my knee surgery. Unfortunately, there were more things to repair during the surgery than were seen before on the MRI. I still have to take a lot of pain pills because of it and am still a little dizzy about it. I hope when the stitches are removed on Monday it will finally get a little better. It just feels difficult not to be able to walk from one day to the next and to have to rely a lot on help from others. Without my wife it would have been really hard to manage alone, so I am very grateful to her. On the poker side, despite this, I was able to play a few small sets with a few tables that went quite ok. I have a hard time concentrating because of the pain and I'm afraid to make many easy mistakes. From the mindset while playing poker I also always unconsciously tried to tell myself that I make normal mistakes only because of my pain. This makes grind much hard...
