        <title>Free pokerset wuut?! (for swedes)</title>
        <link>http://balzamon.liquidpoker.net</link>
        <description>(as the title says this post is pretty much only for swedish people)

I dont know why im making this post, im tired and stumbled across this site which was an ad on [url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/]http://www.aftonbladet.se/[/url]. So its says if i download Titanpoker, register with their bonuscode and put in $20 (120 SEK) i get a baaaaaaaller chipset worth 795 SEK. Since im a cheap motherfucker and need a new chipset (the old one is like drowned in old beer and liquidshit from all the drunk playing) this sounds to good to be true (nothing comes for free!!).

Well maybe its true, if youre a swede check this amaaazing offer out: [url=http://www.pokerproffsen.se/]http://www.pokerproffsen.se/[/url]. Since i already have an acc on titan im gonna register with my dads creditcard tomorrow i think, anyone already did this, is it a scam?!

Must be ultimate cheapness to play nl400 and wanting a free chipset so bad but well whatever!</description>

        <title>Grinding &amp; Las Vegas plans</title>
        <link>http://balzamon.liquidpoker.net</link>
        <description>Its almost exactly two months since i dropped down from nl400 to nl200 to rebuild, relearn and gain confedence. So far its going good, its no amazing results but im happy with the $ i make and i think i play solid poker most of the time just need to step up my aggression some. I think I will be ready for nl400 soon again (BR wise i've always been but i have this feeling its a jinxed level). Heres my results so far (like 10k hands and 1k profit is missing), havent played that many hands theese 2 months but i've noticed shorter sessions with just 6 tables have been good for my game:

Ok so in the last blog i wrote about winning a trip to play some WSOP events in LV this summer. Noiqpoker shipped me $4500 yesterday to book flight + hotel and the rest i get to spend on whatever i want. I will play [b]No-Limit Hold'em Event 49 $1500[/b] and [b]No-Limit Hold'em Event 52 $1500 [/b] and will be in Vegas june 26th - july 4th i believe.

If anyone got tips on good hotels/casinos i would be very happy since i kinda have no clue (and other general tips would be great). I would like to stay in a nice casino that runs a good $1/2 NL game: Bellagio, the wynn, ceasars palace others? Also it seems hotel costs are pretty expensive and i guess it would cut the costs in half to be two so if someone is in the same situation as me and looking for a pokergeek roomie you can always send me a PM and we can discuss it. Im trying to bring some IRL-friend but no one is very into poker and its a kinda expensive trip so its hard :) Why cant i have more degen friends! :(

Oh well cya there!</description>

        <title>Going Vegas and WSOP!</title>
        <link>http://balzamon.liquidpoker.net</link>
        <description>Since my past two blog entries been fairly depressing i guess a happy update for once would be nice! Not only is moving down to nl200 to rebuild confedence going pretty well (running 2.5 ptbb over 30k hands which im ok with) but today i had my first BIG donkament score. The 10 highest people from a ladder today played a 10man Sit&amp;Go with some great prizes:

SHIP!

So a $7500 WSOP package which i believe is some 5k event + 2500 for the trip! If i find a good deal i may sell my donkament spot but either way i will be in Vegas during Wsop! :)

Lastly thanks to Dzoo who was railing me and giving advice during the tourmanet! </description>

        <link>http://balzamon.liquidpoker.net</link>
        <description>I may suck at poker, i may run really bad, probably a mix. I just gonna list all big losers/winners here from my last 2 sessions and see whatafakk going on. This is mostly for myself and i cant see anyone else really fins this interesting :) I can say that i've had 13 BI dowswing last two days and that this happens to often for me to continue playing like this. I dont know if this will help me anything at all but whatever here it goes:

I feel many pots abit over $100 where i got totally bad beated is missing which adds alot to the downswing but can make the list any longer. I also notice alot of bad plays from my side but hmm.

        <title>Rebuilding</title>
        <link>http://balzamon.liquidpoker.net</link>
        <description>So this is my first blogpost. I felt like creating it now to reflect abit over things so i can look back at it when things (hopefully) turns around.

Had a pretty hot run hole summer and all the way to november where it crashed, or not really crashed but i've lost 20 buy ins on nl400 which is a limit im fairly new at so it hurts, my peak was at -25 buy ins:

[img]http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/3712/nl400downswinged0.jpg[/img]

It was a very intense period with 60k hands over 15 days (i was doing a rakerace) and i felt very frustrated a couple of sessions and had my first tilting sessions for perhaps 5 months which im very not proud of - thought i was way ahead of that stage but clearly not.

Tho with rakeback and winning $2k in the race i just lost $2000 in total which is nothing but still after 80 hours it feels like shit !

Even tho im still very well rolled for nl400 im gonna go down to nl200 to find my A-game again, win a minimum of 10 buy ins and then move back up again. I feel im way ahead of the average player on nl400 ipoker but i found myself having BIG leaks when under great pressure and i probably could've cut this loss to half with the right discipline.

Had my first little nl200 session today, went ok:

No biggy but always nice to book a win after a downswing.

Also congrats to Locoo that won a &quot;VIP&quot;-invitetournament at the same site which i play (Ipoker - Noiqpoker). A 10man Sit&amp;Go where top 3 won tickets to EPT, i was also in it but with my november luck I busted out first, shame that extra 8k euro would've been great ! But at least a LP-member took it down!</description>
