In the comments someone asked me what I think my edge against (most) other players is and why I'm winning and some others not....
This is a question I ask myself a lot as well and also makes me a little afraid.
I have a background in the financial world and one of the things you learn there is the efficient market theory. In a lot of ways the pokerworld is comparable to a stock exchange but somehow in the pokerworld the world is not efficient at all.
All the information is available to everybody but somehow, there are people who don't use all those information. Some people just don't care because they wanne gamble. Others don't have the time to study the game and so on.
The thing that makes me afraid is that making so much money as easy as with poker HAS to make the 'market' more effecient in the long run. Players are gonna get better and losing players will leave the market. The question is.....what is the long run in poker (6 months or 3 years?????)
Offcourse not everyone can be a winning poker player, some skills that you need to have to be a winning player are:
* Having great discipline (the most important thing I would say)
* Analytical (good with numbers)
* Eager to learn and improve your game
* Flexible (able to adjust to different situations)
* Mentally stable
And remember this:
* Winning players see a bad beat as a reason to play more poker and losing players see a bad beat as a reason to quit poker.

Cleaning out the tables
Yesterday evening I had some time to play again. Since I'm pro I don't play much in the weekend anymore but it always strikes me how big the difference is. So once in a while I play to get a little extra profit.
In the session from yesterday I probably stacked more people (lots of shorties offcourse) then Jamie Gold during the last WSOP ;-)
Most of this was on tables were I was HU and people kept taking shots at me.
It always strikes me that almost all the regulars on Everest are leaving the table immediately when they're HU or 3-handed against me.
But anyhow, this night I got my money in almost always as a favorite against the shorties and the strange thing was that I won nearly all of this all-in situations. I think that I won more then 10 60/40 situations in a row. Which on itself is offcourse very lucky but I made the right decision every single time and that's what matters.
On one table I was HU with a fullstack (non regular) and I really got him tilting of his whole stack. Check this 3 hands that did the job...
First one is probably a standard HU hand. Also note that his POT bet on the river was instant, which made it an easy call for me.

At the end of this session I won about 2K which was almost $1 per hand.
My winrates @ NL200 are really spectacular at the moment. For example:
My winrate during the last week was 11,54 PTBB/100 (14K hands)
My winrate in february is 9,13 PTBB/100 (36K hands)
My total winrate @ NL200 8,99 PTBB/100 (57K hands)
This really shows that my game is still improving here. Offcourse I had some luck during the last week, because I think my long term winrate (100K+) should be somewhere close to 8.

Still going strong
Poker is till going very well. I was just checking some of my PT stats in 2007 (80K hands) and it really looked nice. I won money with every single PP for example. So it seems that the small changes in my strategy have worked ok.
And with the hands that I put money in there are only 6 (KJo, ATo, 87s, T8s, A5s and J9s) with which I lost more then 1 buy-in ($200). And there is just one of these with which I lost slightly more then $400 (J9s).
This morning I played a session at Pokerstars again ( didn't play there for almost a week). The first 30 minutes I really had to adjust to the hyperagressive pre-flop game there on NL200 (compared to Everest). Overall it's a lot more difficult to play there, but there are still plenty of fish there as well.
Some hands from the session:

This guy (27/21/1) was 3-betting almost all the time from the blinds against a steal or from the button, but never showed a hand down. AQ is not really the hand you want to play in re-raised pot, but this time I decided that is was time to take a stand and as he was not that agressive postflop so I called.

*** TURN *** [2d 5c Qc] [6s]
AKA_PSV: checks > As he didn't bet the flop I don't think I'm have to be afraid of the flushdraw so I check again to get maximum value out of worse hand (mostly bluffs, but also hands like JJ/TT).

*** RIVER *** [2d 5c Qc 6s] [8c]
AKA_PSV: checks -> The third flushcard falls, so again betting is stupid as he will not call with a worse hand.

AKA_PSV: calls $129
This call took me a while, but his push just didn't look like it wanted a call. I also thought that he would have bet the flop with a flushdraw, so then it must be a bluff, because spots like this are most of the time the nuts or a total bluff.

My first 24 hours as a 'pro'
Today was my first day as 'poker pro'. I played a ton of hands (9,622 + FTOPS 6 max). As much as I played today I will probably never do again, but I had to catch up a little bit after not playing for like 10 days so today was a monster session.
But at the end of the day I was up $2,732.29 for a nice hourly rate of $162 (how the .... did I play 16,8 hours....). I also played the FTOPS 6max tourney and as usual was out somewhere in the middle after losing every single coinflip and not getting any cards at all (I hate donkaments) so thats -$216.
If I can maintain this hourly rate, I will be more then happy. Because after all I'm still only playing NL200 and I really feel that my winrate there in comparison with the low variance is best for me.
I close this nice first day with a very nice graph.....
