Its fucking awesome. Nobody knows me there and I get constant fucking action from bad regulars. I have in just a couple of sessions turned that 7,5k into 16k I also love the software. If the wcoop doesnt eat up my starsroll completely I might start playing there regularily. The last few weeks I have been kinda struggling at ipoker. I havent been getting alot of action at all and the action I have gotten hasnt really been super +ev. I have noticed that just switching sites for a while really helps beating yourself out of a negative spiral so I definitely want to have money on atleast two sites, preferibly 3. Speaking of the wcoop, I cashed in the first event, just busted 847th for $346. I think I played well throughout the donkament, I made one misstake in the first hour but thats the only one I can think of. Im starting to realize how huge it is to draw good tables. I was just running over my table after the 3rd break sooo much. Cards didnt matter, I just took down every single pot I entered with agression. I loved the structure in this first event, and I hope the rest of the events will be similar. I never really felt forced to do anything radical due to the blinds getting huge or anything, we could actually play poker all the way which is awesome and gives me a huge edge. I feel I have gotten alot better at donkaments and I am very excited for the coming events in the wcoop. Run good one time plz!

Went for the first day of school, instantly realized I didnt want this and left a happy man. Ive been really torn about this whole thing but the instance I dropped out I could feel it was the right thing to do. I am going to try and get into medschool, until then I will play poker and enjoy myself. One thing I have promised myself after my last 6 months of playing poker professionally is to maintain some structure in life. Last time my sleeping schedual got really fucked, I didnt eat very well and my appartment was a mess. I also gained like 5kg in weight which sucked. I have decided to run stockholm marathon next summer so I will have to start running very regularily which I think will help me stay focused on poker and just keep myself healthy in general. As for poker, I decided to split my roll over several sites. I just get way to little action on ipoker so I figure I will ship in like 15k on microgaming and try to get a good grind going there. I also now have like 9k on stars after my sunday score and that is enough to grind 2/4 imo. Hopefully I can play 2/4 on three diffrent sites and grind up a 3/6+ roll on all of them. My stars roll is going to take a huge beating during the wcoop though so we will see how that goes. As a huge bad beat start of my new life I have gotten really sick. I have a fever and just feel like shit. I have been sick so frequently the last year it tilts me to no end. Its probably just a reflection of my bad and unhealthy lifestyle and this is something I really want to change. Also, I turned 23 today and I cant go out drinking to celebrate. Such a sick fucking beat. Wish me luck in life and poker fellas, take care text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 sakisaki http://sakisaki.liquidpoker.net August hasnt been great. I was making a sweet recovery but jesus wanted diffrent and I dropped like 8k over the weekend. I have been playing very sloppy and unfocused so I deserve poor results. [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/1e5a3a87308c5f801130cd0b8a1bf3fb.jpg[/img] As always after a crappy weekend I turn to the big sunday donkaments for comfort, hoping that this week I might score big. I ran superwell in the sunday million, at one point I was pretty much dead after this nasty hand: [url=http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/515851]http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/515851[/url] Fortunately I shipped in 67s the hand after that one and got it in against two ppl who both held JJ. I rivered the flush and got back into the game. I ran well, mostly in table draws. I spend quite alot of time on tables where I could just run over ppl completely and build a huge stack. After building a healthy stack I proceeded to run superhot catching AA against KK, sucking out on AA with KK etcetc. With 12 or something left I am chipleader and I start glancing at the top 3 payouts getting a little excited. I fail with a couple of steals but still have a healthy stack and this happens: [url=http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/516000]http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/516000[/url] I have no idea what this guy is doing shoving 7 mill with AQ but its 6-handed and I have JJ ffs. Cant fold obv it just sucks that I had to put my donkament life on the line in a flip when I felt the remainder of the players where pretty bad. Then again, if I win that flip Im in suuuuuch good shape to completely pwn the donkament and just rape the final table. Right now I feel disapointed but as soon as it sinks in I think I will be glad that I atleast made 7,5k. After dropping 4k in ftops im now up 3,5k in donkaments so with rakeback I suppose Im booking a 6k month. Not really excited about that result obv but as I said previously, I dont think I deserve anything more with the way I have been playing in cashgames. School starts in a few hours and I cant really say I am excited at all. It was sweet to meet up with friends but fuck, I dont really feel like studying at all. I have been thinking ALOT about dropping out and I still havent decided what to do. Pros with studying: I my classmates alot, hanging out with them is sweet and school isnt all to hard most of the time. Gives me some sort of structure in life. Getting an exam is a good thing. cons: I hate 90% of my courses. This shit doesnt interest me and I feel like im not learning shit. I really dont want to work as a journalist ever, ever. School is interfering with my poker career. I loose focus and generally I have in the past done very poorly in poker during the terms. Therapy session over. Thanks everyone who railed my million run, take care kids!
