2025 Results (First, WITHOUT my WSOP win and I explain further down why removing your biggest score can be helpful): CoinPoker: -$100k PokerStars: +$144k GG Poker: +$409k GG Rake: -$70k GG Rakeback: +$40k —————————— Total Profit: $423k Hours played: ~200 Full 8–12h sessions: 20 Day 2 / Day 3 / FT sessions (2–4h): 10 Total sessions: 30 Hourly: $2,150 —————————— Now INCLUDING the WSOP Main: Total Profit: $4,323,000 Hourly: $21,615 —————————— I play 20–24 tables. That’s my sweet spot. I often stream on Twitch → extra distraction + people seeing my game. Yes, I could play fewer tables. But 20–24 maximizes my hourly. With 10–15 tables I’d have higher ROI. But significantly lower hourly. —————————— Yes, my yearly sample size is smaller. Usually 700 – 1,200 tournaments/year. I mostly play Sundays. 2–3 sessions per month (more during big series). I have similar results for the past 10+ years (of course not as big as winning the WSOP main). A lot of my time goes into my two businesses: Raise Your Edge and ACEND CLUB . Fewer sessions = more focus. More excitement. Better preparation. And that reflects in my results every single year. And I want to show you something important: You don’t need to be a slave to poker. Even at midstakes, you can earn very well playing only a few sessions per week - depending on your goals and life outside poker. —————————— I also spend a lot of time on: • content creation • studying • researching • updating material for our students That keeps me sharp. I spot new things and exploits fast. I like systems. Simple systems. Extremely effective. I don’t follow many of the pushed GTO concepts. I believe many of them hurt winrates more than they help. I focus on: • spots that are massively underbluffed • spots where I can fold my entire bluffcatcher range • spots where I don’t need to bluff at all I train to identify those spots. Result? I need 1 second to decide. Others tank 20 - 30 seconds, think about blockers, balance, GTO… and still make a losing decision because they don’t realize the spot is under-bluffed. That speed lets me: • add tables • reduce mental load • increase profit Example: I created Postflop Rocket → one of the #12 most profitable postflop exploits for our Champions students. It’s a checklist. Easy to apply. Extremely effective. Especially if you don’t want to waste hours in solvers learning strategies that don’t move the needle anyway. People still laugh and say: “Your game is unbalanced. Easily exploitable.” Okay. Sure. —————————— Why remove the biggest score? To identify trends. In tournament poker, big scores often carry an entire year. They can also completely distort reality. Example: You’re down $100k. Then boom - $130k score. Now you’re +$30k on the year. Add rakeback → maybe +$35–40k. BUT… If your graph goes straight down for thousands of games and one score saves the year, chances are high you’re a losing player with one lucky run. Yes, we need big scores in MTTs. But be brutally honest with yourself without your biggest score: • Break-even? → Not bad • Slightly up? → Good • Decently up? → Amazing • Decently down? → HIT THE LAB! Review with friends/coaches. Find the Leaks ASAP! This is about probabilities. Are you truly winning - or just lucky? Many players overvalue their biggest score. They move up in stakes. And their bankroll disappears faster than they can react. —————————— “WOW, if I made this money, I’d quit and enjoy life.” Reality check. This mindset is exactly why you won’t succeed. Yes, money matters. Making alot of money matters to me too. But its not everything. You lack: • Passion (NOT the Passion to make money with Poker), but REAL passion for the GRIND • Fire. Fire to also get up after brutal sessions. Fire to be excited about fixing leaks and improving. • Respect for the lessons this game teaches Without the above? It puts you at a huge disadvantage. For people like me, I dont mind ... • Getting up after downswings • Studying with zero paycheck • Grinding for years without results • Appreciating the growth and learnings without seeing the $ results. Yeah its not nice. But we accept those things as part of the journey. It took me 2 years to withdraw my first dollars. Are you willing to do that? 2-4 years of serious effort with no results? To grind your way up in Poker whilst working a job? You only see the highlights. The big scores. The Instagram moments. That’s not reality. That’s not the grind. This delusion will hold you back. You won’t last. You can’t handle effort without immediate reward. Welcome to life. We can do everything right and still lose. Results are often not in our control. Only consistent effort over years makes success likely - not guaranteed. But not trying guarantees failure. If you think you’d “retire” after making X millions, you haven’t understood what it takes to win. Why quit if you love the game? If it’s your fire? That’s the difference between: • players winning for 10+ years • and those with one good year who disappear Everything has a price. Poker millions cost: • sacrifice • downswings • self-doubt • people laughing at you • pushing through anyway Most people want the millions. Not the price. That’s why I’ve never thought about quitting. Maybe one day - because something else excites me more or I don’t enjoy the grind anymore. But never because I made X dollars. —————————— If you made it this far - good sign. Most only care about the money. They look for shortcuts. The value of this post isn’t the results. It’s the messages. That’s the stuff that actually moves you forward. I wish you a STRONG 2026 CHAMP! Lets Crush!

Online Poker since 2009. Winning 6-7 figures year after year. Playing 20+ tables at once, often 24-27, while streaming and battling the best players in the world. Over the last few years, I’ve mostly played just 2-3 sessions per month, without compromising my winnings. My main focus shifted towards creating the best possible content for our students and still proving that the concepts I teach work at every level - from Micro Stakes to High Stakes. I don’t blindly follow GTO. I do what works against real people. Exploiting weak players. Adapting against strong players. Making better decisions, consistently. Showing the Ups and Downs in Poker whilst maintaining a strong A-Game. Poker is simpler than you think. Yet, it is hard to apply. Most confuse it. Trying to apply confusing and unrealistic GTO strategies that dont work in the real world. Making it unnecessarily hard and spending a ton of time outside the game to improve. I built a system focused on simple theory, yet powerful exploits. Doing the same things, over and over again, at a high level. I’ve shared this system with Raise Your Edge students since 2016. We’ve helped many players reach the very top, turn pro, or simply build a strong side income through Online MTTs. Whatever your goals are. And yes, I still play $11 tournaments with the same passion as I do in $10,000 or $25,000 events. Because I not only love the game, but also constantly chase new exploits. The game keeps evolving. It tests you. Not only the strategies, but also your mental game. If you are looking for a simple but powerful system to become a long-term winning Online MTT player, check out my upcoming Online Bootcamp from May 18th to May 22nd. 5 days. Live. Packed with a TON OF VALUE. I’ll help prepare you for a massive summer - online or live. As a yearly champions member, you get access for free. Or you can purchase tickets separately. All info below. Let's make it our best poker summer ever!

“NO way you can exploit or adapt when you play SO MANY TABLES” A lot of people think I just autopilot. Playing tight ABC poker. But the REAL work happens away from the tables. I never blindly apply what a solver tells me to do. What helped me far more was thousands of hours of coaching, understanding how real players think, understanding their leaks, weaknesses, and emotional tendencies. Why would I force a GTO bluffcatch when I know a population massively underbluffs a spot? But this requires serious work outside the game and not being afraid to exploit, even if it looks stupid. I spent thousands of hours with other poker players discussing strategies, reviewing hands, and seeing other players' perspectives. And what I do best? I can shut my fucking mouth and listen to people who are ahead of me and soak up knowledge like a sponge. Also, a lot of time went into... ▶️Studying my database ▶️Taking notes constantly ▶️Researching population tendencies ▶️Working on my mindset so I never tilt. And then comes the part most people underestimate. No cap, I spent 10,000+ hours in HRC and other programs analyzing spots where people are too tight or too loose and building counter-strategies against those mistakes. Building systems I can simply execute. AGAIN, NOT blindly following GTO strategies. A lot of the outputs I found were useless, and I would never consider applying them. That created massive automatisms in my game. I don’t need 20 seconds to make a big exploitative adjustment. I often need one second. Because I’ve built deep patterns of recognition over many years. One example: After researching huge database samples across all stakes, I realized that facing a 3-barrel, especially after a big flop sizing, followed by a big river bet (80%+), is massively underbluffed population-wise. So when I face this spot, I simply fold most bluffcatchers without hesitation. Boom, next spot. You waste 20 seconds, I need 1 second. This irritates many GTO warriors because they can’t distinguish between theoretical poker and realistic poker. Of course, at Highstakes, you will find players who overbluff. That’s why I constantly review big final tables, study my own hands, and take notes every single week. But my biggest focus will always be exploiting weaker opponents, recreationals, and bad regulars. That’s where the money is made. I put my ego aside. If some elite players re-exploit me because of my exploitative style, fine. So be it. I’d rather crush 90 out of 100 players and lose a bit against the other 10 than try to play some perfectly balanced theoretical strategy against everyone. And again, people think this takes a huge amount of in-game time. It doesn’t. Humans are patterns. You play against the same player types over and over again: 🪨Nits 🤪Maniacs 😺Weak regulars 🧠Solid regs 🐟Fish 🐳Whales You learn to adapt within seconds. Of course, my winrate would probably be higher if I played 10-15 tables instead of 20-25. But my hourly rate would be lower. And you don’t need to jump to 20 tables. This approach can already massively help when moving: from 1to 5 tables from 3 to 5 tables from 8 to 10 tables Very often, players study spots that barely matter in reality. Take bluffcatching, for example. Why waste 15-20 seconds trying to find the “perfect GTO bluffcatcher” when the population simply doesn’t bluff enough? Just call hands that beat value. And if someone is a maniac? Call all your bluffcatchers. No player bluffs at correct frequencies anyway. All the randomizing, overthinking, and solver worship often becomes completely unnecessary in real games. And these exploit opportunities exist everywhere: ▶️Preflop ▶️Postflop ▶️Multiway ▶️ICM spots ▶️PKOs That’s exactly why I built multiple Exploitative Courses inside Raise Your Edge. Free and Paid. Simple. Straightforward. Practical. So players can gradually add more and more high-EV exploits to their game. At the end of the day, I only care about one thing: What makes you the most money? Not what gives you the highest solver score. Aiming for Solver players will unnecessarily confuse you, take you more time in-game, and hinder you from increasing your table count. And you spend all that time studying and wonder why you are stuck. Well, your approach sucks. Last week, we uploaded a BRAND-NEW GUIDE on YouTube (its FREE) on how to make your first $10,000 with Online Poker. Very structured, all the tools you need WITHOUT spending a SINGLE DOLLAR!

This happened before winning $140k on Monday (this is what most wont see, but those moments matter the most). If you STRUGGLE when playing bad/making mistakes. WATCH THIS 👇 I played terribly the first few hours on Sunday. I was already down 60–70k. Busted a lot of really good tournaments. Had to reset, refocus, and remind myself that every tournament matters. Funny enough, I shipped the one I was least likely to win, with the biggest field. (Full Sunday Session + $150 FT added to Champions Tier soon!)
