Goooooooooood morning everybody,

I am regularly getting up between 4 and 6 am (early bird ..) actually when i think back, i was never the early bird and always overslept so went late to school did miss even my a-level degree, which was like 10 years ago.

Now i believe and got taught, when having goals and being thirsty for results i have to have a routine, get up early, sleep early, eat healthy, have good fun with the wife (quality time) and play with my cat daily eheheh.

I am 28y old german living in Malta already my 4th year now, happily married to my brazilean goddes and was working in several igaming companies like stars, betsson, mrgreen, evolution gaming etc etc, any questions, throw them out.

I started playing spins around 6 months ago at the $0,25 Limit on PartyPoker, pretty much unregularly, yes one month here and there active, but that was pretty much it. This year this 2020 stands for me personally for commitment and achieving goals day by day on a regular hussle. I decided to start this blog in order to have something that i can do in my daily morning or evening routine. To rethink my day and even evaluate the week or month or whatever comes in mind. This year stands as well for traveling, before we moved to malta i was pretty much traveling for 2 years straight, and i kinda miss it.

Anyways, playing now the €2 Limit on Winamax and will be working on going to €5 pretty soon.

That was it for my first blog post, looking forward to a lot of productive posts especially from myself Nevertheless, any thoughts or ideas, just leave them here, because i do value input a lot.

Good morning everyone, after a great grind yesterday

I still have to do a couple of things before the next big session, as i am leaving in about 7 hours to go to germany for exactly a week. Yes i have been there just in december right before christmas (funeral) but this time i promissed myself, it is for pleasure. I love esports since i was in school like 15y ago, and always felt that i am very close to this topic, especially with me visiting dota 2 esport events yearly.
This year the dreamleague season 13 is held as event in leipzig and so i will be visiting with one of my old school buddies in Hamburg and go with him directly to his home in Kiel (north germany) then on thursday-friday we make our way to leipzig. It is going to be epic again for sure, I have been doing this now for the 4th or 5th year. It is how it is, when you want to stay friends with old buddies from school or kindergarden ( while travelling) find a passion that you share and then spend time together each year. So you can still work on your dreams while having good relations with friends.

I will be back on the 28th, so my next update will high likely be at that time around maybe at the 29th. Now i will just put a relaxed morning session in and then pack my bag and leave. Are you always packing your bags the latest possible as well?

A short delay in my update, as i can tell, i have already written quite a bit, but i did not save it when i restarted my browser, therefore a real real quick one right here, summarised the last couple of days:

Leipzig was 7/10, event was quite nice, the venue was amazing, but staying in a 8 story building on the last floor without elevator is everything but fun, when u usually sit in your studio in Malta, and literally never walk around ( yes i need to work more on my gym visits, but for now i had to many excuses that made me not go lol..)

Germany itself, well the journey towards Hamburg from Malta to Frankfurt and connection flight to Hamburg was a bit more rough than it should have been. For like 2 years when i fly with the plane, and the plane starts to decend toward the targeted airport, i have like a sticking pain in my upper forehead, basically right under my right eyebrows. It feels like someone is putting needles against my skin but from the inside lol, like hundreds of them, meanwhile the eyes start to have some tears as well, it is really not for the fun part of it.

Nevertheless i got "lucky" and on my flights back to Malta i had no pain when decending to any airport, so good stuff. Just yesterday i had an short first telephone interview for one of the bigger companies here in Malta for the position of: German VIP Manager with quite a reasonable salary, considering, that the malta tax percentage and overall percentages of the salary that is taken away (taxes, social security) is way lower here in Malta than anywhere else in europe. I remember years ago i was working in Germany, Frankfurt am Main in a Hostel as checkpoint agent, i signed the contract for €1500 gross but in the end had like 900-1k net, then sick expenses as well, and remember, it was in germany, so i paid around 400€ rent for a room in a private penthouse 1h outside of the city, and had issues to come to work in time as well as my connections were not the best using DB - Deutsche Bahn so there i had to pay around 180€ for a monthly bahn card + up to 120€ in transportation using taxi when i did not make the connection to get home. so yeah quick maths, 900-400-120-180 well i had €200 left for food, lucky i could eat breakfast every day in the hostel lol. That was my life like, after school when i finished with my volunteering internship in a seal station.

And there i knew, i will be traveling alone or with someone, and in that place in frankfurt i met my now wife, who would have known how all will turn out for me to the positive.

Well alright i can just tell, before i started traveling and living in other countries, my life was quite a desaster, nothing seemed to work out well for me. Then i started traveling and it was like something or someone wanted me to achieve all my steps, my small goals i had and with every year i had a better job, higher salary and of course, a bit higher savings.

Alrigh alright, it will happen sometimes, that i just fly in my thoughts and write different topics hidden in 5 other topics, so please apologise that, it is just my way of thinking.

Nonetheless next week probably regular interview for new highest paid position that i have every interviewed for and i feel definetly like i will crush it. Same goes for my wife actually, she has one interview as well, just quick, we work both in iGaming, it is THE industry here on the Island of Malta. When landlords ask you where u make your money, and you just say igaming, they dont ask anything else, but ok, the rents here at least are not the lowest that needs to be told for sure as well. We once paid 900 excl bills for a 1 bedroom apt that was as big as my garden shed at my mums house But when u look for a place at the right time ( like now in the beginning - winter of the year) then the prices have dropped at least by 20%. Usually a good 2 bedroom apt with some views in malta costs around €1400. A good 3 bedroom u get for already €1700. Penthouses start good at €1.900. And a good 1 bedroom apt (without view) will cost you €1.000.

So you can probably imagine, a €900 or €1500 net salary is not helping on this island, u should at least, when u live life alone make around €2.000 net to have an acceptable living, as the costs of food are way higher than rest of europe, cheapest food is in germany and croatia. My wife and I can live good with €4600 net p. month but investing each 2.000 hours a year, i mean yeah u can do the math, and this is where i see me crushing at Smart Spin, not only to get to higher stakes, but to make a living to start building up a real estate portfolio, i will tell more on a later stage, so far yeah, that was it, i have applied for my promotion to the €5 Limit and with some luck i might get it as well.

So far i played
1500 Games on $0,25 limit
1000 Games on €1 Limit
5500 Games on €2 Limit.

Hope u enjoyed the not so quick read, have a good one everybody, may the cards be with you lol.

Bigger update coming soon, cliffs for now: I got promoted to play on the €5s now. I have played so far only 50 games as i am super occupied at this moment with daily viewings and hours of facebook price negotiations for apartments and penthouses here in Malta.

Good evening /morning /day everyone!

As part of my daily routine was blogging here, well, i played more days than created posts that is for sure. I am now close to my first 1k games on the €5 limit on Winamax, and i am not disappointed with my progress, my start is better than on the €2s and one thing is for sure, it is not harder, not a bit.

My next step towards the €10 (next limit) is to collect 150 EV Buy ins. At the moment i have already 20% so still 80% to go for the next promotion.

A few answers to questions that were not asked:

My setup looks like this:



edit: if anyone knows how to make the picture visible i will mention your name in the blog.

At the moment we live off of our savings, i might work again next month either as new German VIP Manager or as German Game Presenter (sitting in front of cameras and deal blackjack or roulette, for the ones who could not imagine what it means)

I live still in Malta, it is our 4th year and might be our last, but nothing is planned besides buying real estate unites in gozo + some land there as well.

Anyways, if there are more questions not answered i will be happy to explain further.

I play always 3 tables and listen to music or audiobooks or short talks + ted talks.

Have a great one!

New Update coming soon, it might even be a big one, lets see about it.

gl man.. what is a decent sample at the spins? 5k games?

Thanks man! Lets say in regards to one limit itself you could say, 5k sample should be enough to say that you beat a limit or not basically.

A decent sample per limit is 5k for sure! Per month 2-3 tabling depending on the hours you put in, 3-4k sample is a desirable sample. So to calculate, per year 40-50k Sample is decent.

Btw, to quickly show i am still alive, i am at the moment in Germany (trapped due to covid), not playing poker at all. And i plan to be back mid of June to go on crushing and play on the 5s on Winamax with getting to 10s ASAP!

Thanks for reading boys (and girls).
