Midsummer
Post Date: 28 Jun, 2010
 

Hey guys..

Had a good week and we just celebrated midsummer here in sweden. Awesome weekend where everyone is getting drunk and just hanging out with friends and going to various parties... Its nice in someway that its over so you can get back in to habits. I havent been playing poker for about 2 weeks and its nice.

Ive been watching almost all of the world cup games and i must say Germany is my favorites. Such a good team and they have a really fun and offensive gameplan. Im so looking forward to the game vs Argentina. Both teams have their weaknesses in defense. Overall the finals now should be exciting to watch and also bet on. I think im down a bit on the W.Cup but its fun.

Ok gotta go to get my shot of vaccine for the trip.. My plan for the coming days until i leave for China is a super lockdown. Gotta make bank...

Hej....

Summer
Post Date: 15 Jun, 2010
 

Hey guys... was a while ago and I thought Id make a little post. Ive been crushing lately and been working on my game pretty much also. Ive started to take notes alot more. In someway it keeps you focused more on what is going on. Works like a reminder if im present or not also. And its good to know that if the same dude has 2 barreled dry K high boards a couple of times and you have giving him credit for it. Mayby its time to do somethinga bout it. But ive been thinking i need somewhat of a system cause i usually just bang out what happened and it comes out differently every single time. I have to think about it abit.

I have some problems with my eyes. They feel totally dried out and is really itching/burning. They arent red. Mayby im just super tired or something all the time. Anyone have tips?

Anyways. Been watching all of the WorldCup games so far. Its awesome really. There have been some nice games but more in a strategic kind of way. Not so entertaining probably but I think this will change when teams must win to go to the next stage. Nobody wants to loose the first match basically.

m going down to a old friends 25th birthday. Celebrating it in his familys ridiculous mansion in the southern parts of sweden. So i think this weekend will be nice. im gonna hangout with my buddy chandon.

Back in to the game
Post Date: 30 May, 2010
 

Hey guys...

So i didnt play any poker for 2 weeks or something like that. But last week I really played alot of pokers. The results where mediocre and I decided to do some studying and evaluate my game. When I start to put volume in i tend to get caught up in really big variance spots and go on semi tilt when running bad, making bad decisions. My style is really aggressive and its really frustrating when you dont pick up those pots that you are used to over and over again.

The good thing is that im grinding more than ever before and studying the game. I need to revert to a more solid game when im in big grinding periods cause its really putting to much pressure on me mentally being in hard spots. But in the other hand it makes me a better player soooo... we will see what happens. I up a little bit for the month so im happy. Being on the green side. Playing semi optimal is a good thing. Im not gonna say anything about running good or bad. I just feel my game havent been solid lately.

Lockdown @ the summer house
Post Date: 26 Apr, 2010
 

Hey guys... 

Today me and 3 other dudes are going to my friends awesome summerhouse @ the westcoast. Just chilling out and grinding all week. And there is this huge weekend coming up here in sweden when everybody goes out partying. So looking forward to that.

I promised you graphs from the grind in the states until now... the second graph is in swedish currency so you divide with 7 (unfortunately) Dont know if I've been running hotter than the sun or if im crushing a fair bit @ 1/2. Mayby its a combination....  

Some of you guys feel that i should go for 2/4 but im quite satisfied at the moment. I mean i could mayby make more money at higher stakes but this is so unstressful is some sense, games is softer, easier to find good games and so on. Mayby ill give it a shot later. Im happy for now though.

(swedish currency)

Bye Miami, Hello Sweden
Post Date: 21 Apr, 2010
 

Hey guys.. just a quick post on that im back home...

I had an enourmous amount of running good at the airports yesterday. People have been stuck for days (Due to the volcano thingy). I managed to get on the first plane to arrive near my hometown since thursday. Airports in Europe is a big chaos.

Pokers have been good during my stay in Miami. Dont know the figures exactly. Didnt play that much but when you are running fine it doesnt matter. Ill post the graph next post.

Back to Miami
Post Date: 13 Apr, 2010
 

Hey guys...

Denver was really awesome.. i mean this was once in a lifetime thing. Beacuse i think i would never go to Denver otherwise. Formal thing sucked but rest of the weekend was awesome. I did see Red Rocks which was cool. This collage experience was really wierd in a sense. Cause everyone was getting retardedly blacked out like every single night. I saw this guy. Faceplanting the pawement and nobody didnt care. I mean i like to get blacked out but not in that fashion. =)

Came back to Miami yesterday and im still tired from the trip. I'll grind the pool till EU hits evening time. Then its time for grind. Ill mayby go to coconut groove tonight for another collage experience =)

Chat:

TucoMandruco: Hey man, I only have experience playing Ongame and Ipoker some PKR. I mean people suck all over. Dont really know the difference between Stars, Fulltilt compared to these sites. I mean fish is fish you find it everywhere. Just keep looking. GL dude

Goodbye Sweden HELLO Miami
Post Date: 15 Mar, 2010
 

Hey guys...

Ill start off with pokers... I have been struggling alot really and i decided to go back down to 1-2 ... I mean it kind of sucks but.. Hey leave pride some where else... I'll be back at 2-4, 3-6 when i feel the time is right again..

Otherwise life in sweden have been kind of booring. Nothing really happening. Bathroom is almost finished. It will be done in 2 weeks... 

So ill be leaving for Miami 2morrow.. Cant wait to put on the sunglasses and shorts and drink bud and grind. I mean the hours for grinding EU sites are great in US. just play the afternoon 2-9 and you have the primetime hours.. how good is that.. I mean you can do whatever.. Hang out by the beach morning/lunch.. grind the hours you need.. then go out have dinner / drinks ...

Ohh well super psyched about WMC.. i have made a schedule for parties i want to go to... So much to choose from.. (change to weeks and get forward to 23th of march)
