Back on track? Or: Why I can´t win on CoinPoker
Maybe I should post the question: why can´t I win on CoinPoker? Anyways, I have completed my first 100 events on CoinPoker and experienced a massive downswing as I have written before. I don´t want to hide it: I am a losing player there (as of now) but I do want to change this!

Monthly report: slight winnings in April 2026
After taking up MTT and SnG Poker again a good couple of months ago, I can start with writing monthly reports about my progress in the “From 100 to 10000$” challenge that I had started a while ago. April has been a pretty rough month for me with a lot of testing. The good thing…

On Tilt on CoinPoker
In the last days, I have experienced a massive downswing on CoinPoker. In fact, I was not yet profitable there but maybe the sample size is a bit small. However, I had played tournaments with buy-ins from anything between 1.10 and 25$, and not a single time did I finish in the money (ITM).

Professional Poker: Am I good enough?
After a 2nd massive downswing in April, I am back on track, and according to Sharkscope, I am on a good trajectory and “might be good enough to play at a professional level” – whatever that means. Back in the day, when I was a student, I was semi-professional, since I had financed part of…

All-In or Fold on CoinPoker
In the past days, I have discovered the Push-Or-Fold tables (All-In or Fold) on CoinPoker. I have to say that the games are pretty wild at times, and I don´t know what to think of it. After a few hundred hands, I am definitely on the losing end (slightly) but it is definitely fun!

Sit & Crush Leaderboard: How ACR gives me 50$ bonus per week
I was surprised to see that I get a regular extra 50$ from ACR Poker, and so I got curious about how this happened. It turned out that I made the weekly Sit & Crush Leaderboard that ranks players who can collect points playing “sit-and-go” tournaments or the rather new “on demand” MTT tournaments.

Challenge from 100$ to 10000$ Bankroll
Today, I was thinking about starting a series called “from 100$ to 10000$ poker bankroll”. This will keep me on track and document my journey from micro stakes over mid stakes to higher buy-ins at the MTT poker tournament tables.

Zeus Live-Poker Event in Brisbane
Just 4 weeks after the event in Melbourne, I rocked up at the Wantima Country Club to join my next live poker event, the “Zeus” at Empire Poker. I think that this was another big step for me to finally make a final table and have a bigger live cash. Finishing on rank 13 out…

Back on track after tilt
The past week has been a roller coaster of some sort: I had my biggest tournament win on ACR for more than 700$, followed by a massive downswing on tilt of almost 600$. The result after 100 events was that I went break-even.

Goal achieved: 1000$ bankroll!
I had written about my next milestone in my last article and reckoned that I would reach 1000$ bankroll within the next 3-4 months. But it actually took me only one day more! Well, I felt like joining a 3000$ GTD Hyper Turbo PKO for 21$ buy-in, and guess what: I emerged victorious amongst 155…
