Hi HanktheBank, welcome to my flock and thank you for posting/reading here!
hahaha, now worries
your post isn't offending at all, i laughed a lot!
But i will tell you a secret about Germany which may surprise you a little. You are not talking about Germany at all with your comment above
You talk about Bavaria only! (see picture, the red part is Bavaria, i live where the blue cross is
, near the France border on the left side)
No one in Germany wears Lederhosen except in Bavaria (even there most people don't to be honest^^), and most people don't eat Bratwurst at all^^ Only in Bavaria and maybe in Berlin we have a high Bratwurst consumption
Concerning the beer...well...we do drink a lot of beer in Germany
But the "Maß" beer you probably have in mind is Bavaria as well...not Germany.
But don't get me wrong, it is not offending at all when people talk/think about Germany the way you did.
It is just funny how every country is strongly perceived by it's stereotypes, even if the people who have this stereotypes only reflect like 10% of the population in the country.
Another example is Spain, everyone thinks of lazy-siesta-dudes chilling on the beach all day and not working at all. But the truth is, here you are talking about Andalusia, the south of Spain. The other parts of the country are more like Germans... hard working, disciplined people.
i bet, i have wrong stereotype-clichés about America as well
Anyways, it's so funny talking to foreign people about Germany and their country as well. Wish i could do that more often... every 2-3 sentences there is something like "whaat, you do this and that in your country???, no way you could do this here"... so funny

i hope i will rise in stakes in some time... but with my low volume it might take a little
After 7 winning sessions in a row, i lost 2 of the last 3 sessions i played. The first loosing session was bad luck for the most part (-2 Stacks, but +1 Stacks ev), but the second loosing session was superbad play, which is so frustrating, when you look at the result after some time
i am kind of angry and disappointed of myself when it could have been a slight positive or break even session but in the end i loose due to bad decisions... even worse, when you think about, that you have to play one very good session, only to get back where you was before
anyways... i'll try to learn from it and try to reduce those kind of sessions.

It's really sad to hear that you guys still can't play on PokerStars. Sometimes we (in Europe) forget how fortunate we are to be able to play, even tough we have our legal problems too :-(. I really hope that online poker will be accessible in the US very soon. Would be so great for poker overall.
Where are you from
HanktheBank? Are you able to play poker at all nowadays?
Best regards to you guys and thank you for reading and even more for commenting!
