So I'm back from Prague, and I had a great weekend! It's nice to travel, and I haven't seen my dad since last christmas so it was alot fun seeing him and spending time with him again.
He was waiting at the airport for me, and a driver came and picked us up and drove us to the hotel. After dropping of our bags, we walked to the old town and stopped at a couple of bars (pubs) and had a few beers. The hotel (check my last blogpost to see the hotel since it's pretty cool. So the hotel had a booked a table at a restaurant down by the river. We arrived there pretty late, and had a really nice dinner, with some nice bottles of wines and good talk about life, work etc. The day after that we got up at 10-11 and went and checked the castle out, we took a walk down to town afterwards and had a nice lunch with another good bottle of wine (and some more czech beers). The driver took us back to airport, we sat in the lounge and had a cup of coffee before it was time to part ways, i left for stockholm and my dad left for munich.


So this part of the blogpost (if anyone actually reads since there are no pics) is going to be about me. So I was born in Stockholm 1985, my parents lived in Holland at the time in Den Haag so a week after I was born I got on a plane and moved to our house in Holland. I lived there for a year before moving to Munich, Germany with my parents and my sister. My parents got divorced when i was about 6. When I was about 9 I moved to Sweden (the south of sweden, malmö) for the first time with my mom and my sister. We lived in Sweden for 3 years. So when I was 12 I moved back to Munich to my dad and lived with him (my stepmother and my sister) for 4 years (oh and my little brother).

My sister graduated and moved to Brighton to study at Sussex, whilst I moved back to Sweden. I went to a school in Malmö for a year, after that year my parents asked me if I wanted to goto a boarding school, I said hell yeah since all of my buddies went to one. Although it wasnt the same one, but it was all good. So I did my last 2 years of highschool there. I graduated from Highschool 2004 and 10 days afterwards I did my military service in Sweden on an island called Gotland (ironic name huh?). So 10 months, and getting discharged as a Swedish sergeant I moved back home. I didnt really bother getting a job, but my friends dad who owned a pharmaceutical packaging company needed help, so I worked there for 3 weeks during the summer. I continued working there for like 2 more months with three other friends. So nov.05 a friend from my boarding school asked me if I wanted to move up to Stockholm and he said that he had a job waiting for us, so I said ship it and got into his car and drove up to Stockholm.

So I got us a 2 bedroom apartment on the upper east side of Stockholm and we started working with telemarketing. The hours were great and the pay sucked as hard as CrownRoyal. Since me and my roommate were out like 2-3 days per week partying something was bound to happen. So after a bag in box and a few beers later I was in an ambulance. What had happened was that I had got my ass kicked:



After a few stiches and a visit at the dentist I was good as new.

So I got a new job working as a Site Manager nov.2006, did that for 6 months and got a new jobboffer with the same company as a project manager for an e-commerce project and here we are

So if people have read my blog before I've been talking about the team poker leagues that I played last spring. So I thought I would explain the structure of the league that I'm going to play again.

On the sitenote I've been playing alot of Dealers Choice lately. So alot of PLO and PLO Hi/Lo, and some random stuff like razz, 2-7 triple draw, 5 card stud, Badugi, Crazy Pineapple, Seb Holdem.

For the swedish people: Expressen/Poker

So, the team consists of at least 4 players and the maximum number is 8. We are 7 people in our time (like we were last year). 4 people in the team get to play. So 8 FR tables, and 4 of us are divided into 4 different tables (we're never allowed to sit on the same table). 10,000 | 25/50 | 30 min levels. So the structure is pretty good. Anways every hour you get a team action which means that the 4 people that are left meet and are allowed to bring a % (depends on the size of your stack) of their chips with them. So if i'm a good chipleader I can donate some of my chips to my team mates to keep them alive or vice versa. When then final table is arranged and lets say that our team has 2 players left then we can put or stack together, and we can also change play every button. It costs $2k per team roughly, and we won it last time So im hoping ofcourse that we can win it again. Oh and this time its in the whole of sweden, where the top 2 teams from each city travel to Tallinn to the finals!

Here are some pics from it:

So I just bought a new comp:

Here are the specs to the important stuff:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2,2MB
Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB Kit w/two matched Value Select 1024MB
Samsung SpinPoint T166 400GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
XFX GeForce 8600GT 540M 256MB GDDR3, PCI-Express, 2xDVI, 540/1400Mhz

So my roommate is working his last week (hopefully for a long time) since he's going to play poker fulltime. If you guys have any advice for him please let me know so that I can support him

I'll probably play a $100 freezout this friday (10k chips) at a local pokerclub, depends on how I feel. I think my MTT game is getting pretty good, even though its Oldschool T.J. Cloutier style but whatever it works for me.

A pic for Muwheli since he likes asian women



So I was out in the archipelago in Stockholm this weekend with a couple of friends. We took it easy, drank beer, ate good food, waterskiing and other stuff. My best friends family own an island there, so I go every summer there to enjoy the weather!

Pokerwise: I'm playing HU sngs, sngs, and MTT's on Svenska spel - a swedish poker room. Im probably up $1000, but I had to cash out some of it. I think my tournament play has improved alot throughout the past months. My room mate quit his job to play poker full time. He plays NL300 live at the casino in Stockholm, and NL100 on the internet. So I wish him the best of luck.



Loving it


Good times

So I havent updated in ages. But I haven't been playing that much. Uhm, we got to the quartar finals in the martins poker league that I talked about in my previous posts €1200 to the team, instead of €20,000 (that we should have gotten). My heads play has improved a shitload. Throughout the league I had a 54% win frequency in heads up (PLO + NLE). In the quartar final I enihalated my opponents. By winning 7/8 of my HU matches. But we got unlucky and lost to pokermagazine 34-30 . Yesterday I managed to reach 3 out of 4 final tables. I took down a satelite ticket for a friend when I played his final table and got second place for a ticket. I played another 100+10kr (roughly $14) tourney and got 4tmh for $100 or so. Then yesterday I played a 555+55kr = $80 Five-handed tourney with 71 people in it. I got third for 4728 for almost $700.



So I'm off to Båstad to party today, which should be alot of fun. A bunch of my friends are down there so it's all good. So since the summer has arrived in Sweden I decided to post a pic of a sweden a summer or 2 ago (im top right in the yellow sweater looking at a girl)
