Buenos aires round 3

Hey

In this entry, I'll deal with how august has gone, with how I'd like too see it going and with my plans for September.

I withdrawed all my monie from PS (or near, I just keep enough so I can win that sunday million one time) and deposited on iPoker and onGame. Games a easier, plenty of fishs, less regs and they are more or less easier to deal with. I now have 50% rakeback which is a huge addition to my winrate.

I'm in Montpellier right now with my DUDE Alex. We put a ton of hands and we both have great results (he made a nice 17 buy in yesterday, congrats). I'm 7.5k up since I'm here which makes me feel good and confident and to be honest, self-confidence is the key to be sucessful at poker.

I'm in the green for August and I hope I can end this month up close of 10k (rakeback included). 5k to go which is doable if I find my balls back to only play at 2/4+. My huge downswing last month affected me so much that doing a steady grind at 1/2 was all I could handle. But I don't plan of grinding 1/2 for life. I don't want my grand son remembers ADZ122 as the guy who played 1/2 for life coz he was a pussy. I want him to remember ADZ122 as the one won a 31k pot at 25/50.

At the beginning of September, I will go directly from Montpellier to Cannes. I go there for vacation, a friend of mine has a room at the 3.14 (an hotel if you did not guess) and the final partouche poker tour will be held at the same time. There will be pretty much all the french poker community and it should be fun.

AND HERE THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.... I -finally- booked my flight ticket and my apartment in Buenos aires. I can't wait for it but at the same time, I'm hugely stressed about it. Here is the picture : I will arrive in a huge city of 13 millions habitants without talking a single word of Spanish (except maybe OLA QUETAL LA SENORITA). Hopefuly, there is a big and solidary 2+2 community around there so I won't be that alone. I want this 9 months trip to be what I'll remember of my years as a poker pro and I'll do a ton of effort to discover another culture (even if BsAs is probably the most european city in South America) and learn another language.

I'll update that entry with pics of my futur apartment (I rent it for the first month coz I wanna find a place better to me when I'm in city).

cya guys, take care, make a lot of moni and enjoy



Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires

I gotta feeling that this year is gonna be a good year...

YOOOOO, ADZ "omg is he back ?" 122 blogging from France.

Last month was very rough. I had never felt this bad. Poker affected my mood and I'm really not proud of that. I lost close of 20k (mainly in PLO) and I was pretty much broke at this time.

Hopefuly I had enough monies on my neteller account to book some vacations in Barcelona, Spain. It went very good, I finally drove my Audi TT (car bought with my poker $$ : pics at the end of the thread) and I ate a ton of amazing foods : catalans ppl have these delicious meals like this bread with squeezed tomato + oil olive + garlic called Pan amb tomaquet (or smth like that).

I have not played during my vacation, I just wanted to relax, think about my futur. I had not taken any off poker vacation for a year and I kinda needed some. Poker (or money ?) is so addictive and I believe it almost ruined my envy to play poker for good.

I'm now back in France and I'm doing well for August (down 1k for the month but I was down 5k at the lowest point). I now mainly play NLHE and I will play NLHE until I rebuild a roll big enough to handle swings at PLO. I moved down at 1/2 and 2/4 and I plan to play 2/4 for the rest of August, hopefuly I can move up at 3/6 next month.

Saturday I go to my dude Alex who lives in Montpellier. I went in Montpellier once and I enjoyed the city (south = the sunny part of France). We will play A LOT (I hope at least) and I also gave him a chance to freeroll me : I have to do 30min of sport everyday (he has a bicyle in his apartment) otherwise I give him $100 a day I don't do excercie.

That's it for today, CU AT MICROSTAKES
