Alchemy of Poker

 Dear Alchemists, From a poker technical point of view this is the first week since the start of my challenge that didn't go so well. I simply had a lot on my plate privately and had almost no time to play. I don't blame myself if I made the wrong decisions that led to this result.  At least I was able to learn some new poker material, because I managed to finish reading "Whe Math of Poker by Collin and Douglas, which I can really recommend to anyone who is looking for a logical approach to poker. I also started reading the new book by Barry and Dara "Endgame Poker Strategy - The Icm Book. Since I have already read the two books in the series and found them great I am really looking forward to it. For me as a SNG and MTT player, there are a lot of things in it that I already knew, but also a few subtleties that I had not yet noticed in the way. I'm super excited to see what the rest of the book is like.  I have so much time to read, unfortunately, because I stupid...

Dear Alchemists, I am happy to inform you that I am slowly getting better. Both physically and mentally. My optimism and my family have helped me out of the worst of it and I believe that it would get better every day. Sometimes you have to heal yourself first to help others. The sad thing is that often one's own hardships come about because one wanted to help others. Especially when it is hard to admit to yourself that it is not possible to help everyone all the time, as much as you would like to. Poker technically, I have to refocus first. I had a lot of concentration problems the last few weeks and had a hard time getting myself to play at all. The sessions I played were rather modest, so I have to repeat a lot of things. I think that this process will be finished soon, because I already took some small breaks during the poker sessions. The planning phase for the next videos for you I have also completed. I will record the next videos for you in the next week. As soon as I have ...

Dear Alchemists, unfortunately I have no positive news for you this week. Disappointingly, I was not able to play poker or produce videos for you in the last two weeks. But I'll make up for it in the next week and will record several videos for my beginner MTT course. On the personal side, I'm finally getting fit again and will be able to start jogging again soon after this long time. I am really looking forward to it. Furthermore, my personal differences unfortunately ended badly, so I decided to separate from my wife. Sometimes you fight and do everything in your power to make it work, however, it always takes two there. No relationship is perfect or even close to it, but if you don't want to work on it anymore, there isn't much hope either. I am someone who very, very much does not like to give up, which is why I gave everything I had until the end. The thought of maybe finding someone in the future who appreciates me and my character doesn't make it any less dif...

Dear Alchemists, I am very happy to announce that  my second MTT video  has come out in German. I would be very happy if you stop by and of course do the homework on it. Unfortunately I myself couldn't play that much besides my private coaching sessions due to private differences. Nevertheless, it is very important for me not to stop learning more about poker despite that. Even when I don't have so much time to play, I read and work on my game. So I can only advise everyone to remember that for the beginning it is quite normal to work on your game as much as you play. I understand very well that we would much rather play than learn about poker, however, in my experience, it is just as important that we continue to develop. Because the more we develop, the higher our roi will inevitably be. So maybe it's easy for you to see learning about poker as increasing your probability of winning over time.

Dear Alchemists, I am very happy to inform you that things are finally progressing. The PC is finished (pictures are attached) and my health is better. I couldn't play much because of the PC and some private problems, but I'm looking forward to the future. As soon as everything is cleared up on the private side, I can concentrate more on playing again. In any case, I'm very happy that you like my two German  Beginner Videos . Your positive comments motivate me to produce even more didactically reduced, high quality content for you. Also, I am very happy that Pokerstrategy supports me with a  Homework Raffle . I wish you all good luck with answering and with the raffle. Don't worry, the assignments will of course be more challenging and always remember, you're not doing this for me, you're doing it all on your own so you can comprehend and internalize the content. The important thing is that you can recall what you have learned without thinking much like driving ...

  Feeling super pumped to build a PC after such a long time.

Dear Alchemists, in the last weeks I produced a lot of content for Pokerstrategy. A video of it has already come out for the german community. I started with a SNG video for beginners and will continue to record more videos on MTTs. I hope very much that I can translate the videos also for the english community. Then everything would have something from it and for me it is not substantially more work. The first two videos are already done and I hope they will be released soon. So if you have any feedback or wishes you can write me and I will try to take them into consideration. So when I'm not recording videos, I've been busy learning myself so I can give you more content on higher stakes in videos soon. But first I have to generate more samplesize on the limits and I also have the claim to want to beat them sustainably before I do that. So the resolutions are already good now I just have to run according to that, which was not the case after the many weeks full ...
