Beating 6.60$ (only)?
The past weeks have been rough, to say the least. I am down to earth and got a reality check. I have analyzed a lot and found that my sweet spot is currently the 6.60$ on-deman-turbo limit on ACR Poker. I used to play 11, 22, and 33$ tournaments also profitably but in the past…

How I dominated my last 22$ tournament
After my “interesting” experience of my very first 109$ PKO tournament, I decided to go back to the levels that I clearly beat. And those are on-demand tournaments on ACR Poker between 6.60 an 33$ buy-ins. The most profitable for me seem to be 16.5 and 22$ tournaments but I can´t regularly play on ABI…

My First $109 PKO on ACR: A Reality Check, a Confidence Boost, and a New Plan
For months, I’ve been grinding lower stakes tournaments. $6.60s. $11s. The occasional $16.50, 22, 33, or even 55. But I hesitated to buy-in to a tournament that cost more than 100$ – at least online. Like many tournament players, I dream about regularly playing $55s, $109s and eventually even bigger events. But unlike many dreams…

From Micro Stakes to a $109 PKO: Why This Tournament Means More Than Just the Buy-in
Poker has been part of my life for many years. Like many recreational players, I’ve experienced the highs of deep tournament runs and the lows of frustrating downswings. Currently, I am again on a bit of a rollercoaster but I am dealing quite well with it, I guess. Finally, I was patient enough and did…

+300$ in June 2026
The month of June was more successful than the previous month because I changed a couple of things: I stopped chasing the Sit n Crush bonus and reduced my ABI, when needed. Then, I also played less tables on average and played with more focus. Focus on making better decisions and not trying to win…

-500$ in May 2026
Looking at my stats in May, I have to come to the conclusion that it was quite devastating. I had a streak of about 70 events without a single win which is quite unusual, since out of 760 events on ACR Poker so far, I have won a total of 42 events – in theory…

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!

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…

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.
