Aight crypto going well guys.
What a time to be alive.
Missed out on some massive pumps but hey cant have it all. Looking forward to next couple of days.
Might put in some 500z volume too when i feel like it, but right now I dont
I realised that my posture has been pretty ****e and ive been working very hard on improving this. Also started meditating and its really nice.
Swimming going well except for my breathing on my right side is ****de when i crawl, really tilting.
Also started drinking some whisky, shout out to my boy Kangal for giving me some tips. Pretty good stuff but need a bigger collection for it to be more fun, pretty lame to drink the same whisky every day lol.
Was thinking about playing a live stop in Jan, well see!
Regarding thoughts on society, ill try post somewhat soon but its hard to formulate and structure it. Perhaps ill write a big post on the airplane if I decided to fly back for NYE.
Also watched fightclub for the first time yesterday. Holy ****ing crap insta favourite movie. Its crazy how deep it is. I think Marla, Bob and perhaps even the other project mayhem members are all just creations of the protagonists mind tbh.
The movie legit ****ed my mind and I even went back to searching one of my friends in the past on facebook if he even existed, since he somewhat reminded me of tyler and really impacted my life in my highschool years.

Havent been playing much online since december since crypto has just been carrying me pretty hard.
Had some severe back issues and flew back to germany for nye. Played some donkaments and ran deep, but some fish accidentally rekt my whole tournament by minraising me ott in a huge pot, rip.
MTTs are fun but the variance is pretty ridic, no clue how live mtt regs do it. I always wanted to grind some online mtts but meh variance + schedules + bad timezones = prob not gonna happen anytime soon. Might play some more livestops this year but well see.
Crypto going decent, have not been doing as much as i am supposed to, just been chilling very hard. Going to be flying back to thailand somewhat soon, also kinda getting more motivated to put some poker volume in again

(he loved it already haha) My mom also tried getting me into yoga thx though Alright so Germany has be very chill for me so far. Met some friends, had a good time and played some live donkaments in which I had a high equity deep run but w/e mtts gonna mtt. Also alot of relaxing at home which i think is pretty valuable given my stressful year of moving to thailand pretty busto at the beginnign of last year
My parents are pretty accepting of poker now that I have proven some success, classic...Crypto has been a bit annoying but its okay, ive been lazy or else I couldve shorted the high which I was actually planning to do multiple times -.-
Poker: Been dabbling a bit on my laptop 2 tabling, not playing a lot of volume, but running very good
Last couple days:
Started to be pretty motivated to grind more and looking forward to be back in Thailand.
My back issues are slowly fading which is nice because I felt like a retired grandpa with no motivation to do anything...
Will probably post a bigger update towards the end of this week when im leaving germany again to review this year a bit. What a year this has been!

Played some live today 2/4 deepstacked, up 400e only from preflop basically lol.
I got owned so ****ing hard from a fishreg I shouldve just left then and there lol.
He limped from EP and i iso JJ, 1keff.
Flop J67cc i cbet small he calls, turn T i cbet 60 into 100 he calls, river 2o
He now donks 60 into 220, I raise to 350 and he thniks for 20 seconds, then open folds TT and wants to bet that I have 89 lol.... wtf just happened?
After that I just had the sickest preflop heater of all time where i played for 2-3 hours and had AA,KK,AK 4 times each with some JJ and other top hands... Mostly took it down pre, obv happy that I still won money but jeez if i had that run of hands during wpt...
Looking forward to post a year in review soon

Some sick heat atm 
Back in thailand now, very motivated.
Started writing some of the review, heres a preview without pics but theres so much more to write itll prob take some time.
What a year 2017 has been… I remember sitting in my student apartment not even a year ago with 2500 Euros to my name, trying to figure out how the **** I was supposed to make it out of the ****ty routine 9/5 life that everyone else including myself lived in. Back then I was employed at a top financial institution with a relatively speaking very high salary (for my age), but I hated every second at work. It just wasn’t for me and I’m generally not someone that likes to conform to societies rules and norms, since in my opinion a lot of them are ****ed up, but that’s another topic. Because of this, I really wanted to make it on my own. I want to live life to the fullest and not regret a single second when I’m old, when other people think to themselves “what could have been if…”. I realized that to live that kind of life, I needed ultimate freedom. The first step to that is financial freedom. I decided to dedicate the following years to spinning up my networth while trying to improve in other areas as much as I could.
It took a while to think and plan everything but eventually I decided to take my shot, quit my job after I finish my degree in March and go shoot for the ****ing stars.
It began with a risk that changed everything
In hindsight, the following definitely wasn’t one of my smartest decisions, but back then it felt like I had to take those kinds of risks. I searched for homegames in my area and took my 2.5K Euros straight there. The game was shady as **** but I decided to go for it anyway and ran my 500 Euro buyin up to 6500 within 3 hours. Now the only problem was how the **** I was supposed to get out of this game. I was playing 3-handed with 2 extremely shady people that now hated my guts. So how the **** do I leave? I guess this is a story that deserves its own writeup, perhaps some other time. Eventually after some extremely shady happenings I manage to collect my 6.5k from what I believe some kind of mafia boss get the hell out of there.
I tripled my bankroll, but this was not enough. I decided that while I was writing my bachelor thesis, I would drive to the nearby cities casino whenever I have time and grind the 2/4 cash games in order to run it up.
I remember reading The Alchemist (highly recommend) on my train rides to the casino and man that **** impacted me deep. I really believed that I was on right way and everything seemed to make sense for me at that point. I was extremely motivated and driven to continue.
And boy I did. I went on a ridiculous heater at the casino and barely booked a single losing session for the month. My initial 2.5k roll was now above 10k.
Quo vadis?
I was almost done with my thesis and was ready to make a move. But where the **** was I supposed to go? My parents hated me btw, so that was definitely not an option. We barely talked at this point, this made me feel bad since I really would have appreciated some support from home, but that too is another topic.
I was going through my options and was thinking about moving to a cheap country where I could grind really hard and run it up, while keeping my expenses to a minimum.
I made a post on 2p2 that I was looking for likeminded individuals to room with in South-east-asia and booked a plane to Thailand.
THAILANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I flew there with a girl and we did some sightseeing in Bangkok and then flew to one of the islands in the south (Ill try not to avoid exact details of some things since I mainly still want to remain anonymous). We had a little fight there and decided to split ways. For me, this was pretty handy since I liked the island and could imagine living here for a while.
I told one of the 2p2 people, Hans, about my whereabouts and suggested him to join me to find a place together. He would arrive a couple days later so I used my time to explore the island and look at some places. I rented myself a scooter and drove around the island. I remember how overwhelming everything felt. I was somewhere in nowhere, with not much money at all and no solid plan, taking a massive risk, driving around a paradise island on a scooter, the wind blowing through my hair, feeling like a young prince that just took his first step into the world. I also remember the feelings of doubt and insecurity, the questions I asked myself at night and the mental strength I surprised myself with when telling myself “**** you I got this”. Boy, did I have to tell myself this a lot in the next couple of days when the rain started falling heavy…
(Man, there is actually so much more to write at every single part of this writeup, but I guess ill keep it short and conscise and maybe write a long version sometime later.)
And then I met Hans
Hans man, what a sick little **** you are. I’m happy I met you. You definitely deserve your own paragraph here. But don’t feel too good I feel I might be overhyping you a little bit right now being all nostalgic and ****, but yup def appreciate you loads.
Pretty weird meeting someone that you met on the internet. Especially if you haven’t really seen them before. Even more so if it’s a dude and not some supposedly (and hopefully) hot chick from tinder.
I can’t really remember what I thought when I met Hans for the first time, but I do remember that we both pretty much just trusted each other from the get go. Maybe it was some special chemistry #nohomo, maybe it was just simply because we had no real choice, or maybe it was because we both had nothing to lose.
I take back what I said earlier. I’m probably not overhyping. You see, me and Hans actually went through quite some ****. We were both broke ****s with nothing to lose but a dream. I sometimes see him as the little brother I never had, open-minded enough so that I can teach him **** but he has to hear it somewhere else first anyway before he believes it, but mostly we are companions, probably the sickest lone wolf duo you can imagine.
Also thought of another cool quote: "Your self-esteem is defined by who you are when nobody is watching"

Some thoughts about life
Yesterday I made 1-2 big punts in the afternoon session. I always hate myself for making mistakes at the tables and its hard for me to let go. But Ive been doing a bunch of mental game work in this regard and its easier now. In fact its become clear to me that im being way too hard on myself, because I feel like every one of these mistakes are obstacles that set me back on the way to my goals.
In this regard I had some deep thoughts about life itself:
I've always been a very serious person that has very high ambitions in life and mainly functions with reason. Everything needs to make sense and have a purpose etcetc.
Though yesterday I realised, while all of this sure is cool, that its completely okay to take it easy sometimes and that we shouldnt take life to seriously in the first place.
We're born on this earth, live our 80 years, and eventually well have to leave again.
It becomes slightly absurd to take everything as serious as I sometimes do, when you realise that eventually all of this will be gone anyway. Why not just enjoy your stay in this beautiful world, have great experiences, discover and explore new places and live a wonderful life filled with good emotions instead of stress and sorrows?
I definitely believe that ambition, drive and purpose are a positive factor in longterm happiness/well-being, but the problem is that when you take these too far and obsess over them, it feels like the primary purpose is lost. Its completely fine to step back and relax sometime, enjoy the journey and that includes hardships and problems that might evolve along the way. The difference is that if you see it from this point of view, the "problems' are no longer perceived as actual problems, just as parts of the whole.
The following comparison popped into my mind:
- Imagine someone who lives his/her life completely happy, taking everything easy and not taking everything super serious. Has great experiences, lives it to the max
Now society might see this as someone just strolling around in life planless, with no career and no real aims (if that's even true - must not be).
But when that person dies he/she dies, fully in peace with herself, smiling to the experiences she made on earth. No regrets.
- Now compare this to person B. The standard success story, worked extremely hard just to earn money/to reach societys idea of succes, gain status etc., standard corporate ladder climb etc.etc. maybe betrayed some people along the way. Very rich eventually, surely also had some cool experiences, but def more limited and way more stress and problems that he took seriously.
Society sees the dude as a winner, made a lot of money, successful career etc etc.
Hell, at first thought, even I see the dude as a winner who succeeded in life and the other person as a loser who threw his/her life away - the impact of societys programming of my mind at full force...
But at the end of the day, when both die and nothing matters anymore...
Who wins?

+1 to not absurd.
