English Blog
posted by NikiJSince some people asked for me to write in my bad english, I´ll try to please them. So this is my first english blog entry. Don´t get used to it since writing in english is actual work for me.
I played ALOT today, even by my standards, I would guess about 9hours, but it could easily have been more.
But first, in case you do not speak german, and don´t know me, here is a little bit on my person.
I´m 19years old, from Vienna, Austria and have been playing poker for about 2,5 years now.
Alot of people believed that my nickname on FTP belonged to Kai Budde, the most succesful Magic Player of all time. Magic is a trading card game I used to play, through which I actually made first contact with the great game of Poker, actually in a Sit and Go with the great Kai Budde himself, on a break of PT San Diego. Most people realized by now that this account is just named after, but not used by Kai. However, some people seem to think I got my Bankroll through playing Magic, which is not the case since I never was a top player there.
In my poker carreer I´ve had my fair share of succes lots of times, only to go broke time and time again due to bad BR management and a lack of discipline regarding game selection or quitting bad sessions.
Anyway, I hope I learned from my mistakes in the past and try to do better this time.
I started out playing SNGs online, soon switched to Limit Holdem and went up until I reached the biggest games, by that time that was the 300-600 at UB. There I also got in touch with PLO, got hooked and thats what Ive been playing since. I still sometimes play Limit Holdem, but mostly for fun, or to steam off, since by constantly clicking the auto- raise button you´re not making a big mistake there.
Until a short while ago, I was actually playing 10-20 and 25-50 mostly, then deposited a little on FTP, took shots on bigger games, got on a roll and have won big since.
I´m now on of the biggest online winners on PLO this year.
That much on my person.
Did I mention that I played alot today?
Was on a roller coaster ride the past 2 days and lost about 350k, which I followed up by a big winning day today. It started of bad again with me getting really unlucky in a couple of big pots, but I found my rhythm and won about 500k in the end.
I think the big losers today have to be Ziigmund and ZRC, with SBRugby and me being the big winners. A bit hard to tell cause there are so many new accounts playing I might not even remember. 20k of my winnings come from Limit holdem, where I misclicked twice to hit gutshots and won nearly every hand in the 20 minutes I played.
Had a few interesting hands I converted at pokerhand.org
- One of the reasons ZRC might be down today
- One of the reasons sbrugby might be up today
- Not very interesting, nice flop against Ziigmund
- He played good, but wasn´t to unlucky either. Perfect coinflip on the turn
- Ugly hand, considering he called with just a gutshot on the flop
I´m very excited to go to Barcelona in a few weeks, itching to play with real plastic cards again :)
If u are an english reader, please comment this blog entry so that I can see if there really is that much international interest in my current rush…erm, I mean, success.
Thanks for reading,
Niki

nice blog!
at 8:34 am 2
nice post, i’d gladly proofread your english in exchange for some plo tips :)
at 8:38 am 3
Rest assured there is alot of interest in your PLO game, just google your handle and there is page after page on your plays.
One thing I still can’t figure out is why did you check quad aces to maerliu?
BTW your english is fine keep on posting!
GL at the tables.
at 9:20 am 4
Thanks for writing/playing.
at 9:25 am 5
It would be great if you started posting in english, or at least if you can get someone to translate your posts. I’d definitely become a regular reader.
at 9:35 am 6
Thanks for this, your efforts are appreciated. (btw, your english is good)
at 10:01 am 7

I’m interested…
at 10:22 am 10
thank you for doing this!
at 10:30 am 11
Ohne den Spielverderber spielen zu wollen: Nachdem das deutsche Idiom überall auf dem Rückzug ist, wäre es schade, wenn auch hier die englische Sprache Einzug hielte. Daher würde ich es befürworten, wenn Du weiter deutsch schreibst. Soll doch die internationale Pokergemeinschaft unsere Sprache lernen (oder sich durch grausliche computertechnische Übersetzungen quälen müssen !), um Informationen und Neuigkeiten über einen sehr starken und allgemein Aufsehen erregenden österreichischen Pokerspieler zu erhalten …
at 10:31 am 12
I’ve studied German for 8 years, but always nice to read it in English too. Awesome blog, I’m sure my few readers will definitely check yours out after I link it, tschus!
at 10:34 am 13
Great to see you posting in english so that all can read about your success, greetings from Sweden.
at 10:54 am 14
endlich schreibst etwas über dich, war interessant zu lesen.
dein english passt eh, kannst ruhig weiter schreiben, dann besuchen sicher mehr leute deine seite …
at 11:28 am 15
Hey Niki,
I think it’s great that you post in english aswell! I will definitely check your blog on a regular basis. Good luck in the big games.
Greetz,
Matthijs (Holland)

lol ok, this comment thing isnt working too well.

at 1:24 pm 25
do other highrollers have a blog, too? Just know the blog of sbrugby but what about ZRC (who really played like a donk yesterday) or David Benyamine? Oh i forgot he cant speak English , lol!
at 1:37 pm 26
very interesting. thanks.
at 1:54 pm 27
Very cool stuff, there’s not a lot of PLO discussion/players so it’s nice to finally hear from someone who’s stuck it out while it wasn’t the biggest game
at 2:35 pm 28
Finally great to hear about you from yourself and not second hand from discussion boards and such(at least for us english only readers). Please continue to blog in english when you can.
Question: Do you play any No Limit Holdem? I guess not since you don’t mention playing it, but what are your thoughts about that game in comparison to why you are so good at PLO.
Thank you.
at 3:03 pm 29

Hi Niki,
It’s Cole aka MUCKEMSAYUHH, someone passed me the link to your blog. Great stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I’m actually trying to learn German right now but am still pretty weak at it so if you could continue to post the occasional blog in English that’d be great =) but maybe your blog will help me in learning a new language…
Anyways congrats on your recent success and good luck!
Cole
at 6:46 pm 47
Nice blog Niki. Your English is great. If you get the English dictionary plug-in for Firefox, it’ll automatically show you your spelling mistakes, although there aren’t that many.
Congrats on the recent success. You may have done so already, but I’d strongly advise you to take a big chunk of your winnings out and invest it in the stock market or property. Good luck!
at 6:58 pm 48
American here and I am interested in reading your blogs so keep posting in english pleeaasseee!!! Its fun watching your latest rush, dont lose it all back at once. Good luck when luigi comes back!

Nice blog

Keep blogging in english please.
at 7:25 pm 51
I’m interested.
Your english is fine, but if it’s too much work I’m sure you could pay some lowroller a few $ to translate your blogs.
Looking forward to more entries.
Thanks
at 7:58 pm 52
I can’t seem to follow, where this ‘bad English’ is. If this was written by yourself then you clearly give yourself too much hard time. Only looking forward to your new English entries.
Respect,
JJ
at 9:12 pm 53
Your English is very good and easy to read. Keep the updates coming!
at 9:14 pm 54

Would love to keep reading the blog in English. Actually bookmarked it before I even read it, then found out you may not be writing in English all the time :-(
at 10:34 pm 56
Keep writing in English, very interesting!
at 10:49 pm 57
I enjoy your English blog, please continue! I’m sure you will get plenty of following from 2+2 forums as well
