Back in Business

So we won the live poker league, I got sucked. I raised with AKs to 1000 (150/300 blinds) in mid position, a guy who just sat down at my table went allin. I was thinking and thinking and I finally made the call for about 5500 more in chips, 10-7c - WTF? Of course I can't manage to win an allin when I'm a clear favorite, just like the past 2 months. But i'm not one to bitch about that since we won it.
So I got about $600-700 for being in the team The team got $4500 or so.. I got a $100 tourney ticket at betsson, and hopefully I'll cash there.

Next goal: reaching the finals of the martinspoker league, which will be played in Vegas! I'm the blonde dude with the long hair on the pics

So I'm still playing the Martins Poker league and we're in first place in our group. So hopefully we can reach the finals and go to vegas and win the €20,000. I can explain briefly how it works, you play against another team (8 people in a team, 4 get to play). So you start off with 4 heads up matches, everyone plays against everyone in the other team. Then you play a SnG, and you play a 128 person MTT. This all takes about 6 hours. The goal is to get more points than your opponent.



The other league is a live poker league. Basicly a 60person MTT. 4 team mates play, and you are never allowed to sit on the same table as a team mate. We need to get to the final table next time to win the team poker:

Dusty and Saki - Hands down to you guys
I was in Uppsala last weekend where Sakii and Dusty study, a swedish holiday called "Valborg". That shit was craaaaaaazy. I actually have no idea why we vikings celebrate this, but I know that the social democrats like to demonstrate when we are hungover, i'll post some pics. In my next update. Oh and I turned 22 on sunday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRONE and )ls(honest.

So I haven't updated in about a month. I haven't been running too good, but I haven't played that much either. I am concentrating on donkaments, and I'm reading Harringtons book on NL Tournies, it's pretty interesting to be honest. So this weekend I'll play some more tournies, and hopefully cash in them. I've written about two poker leagues that I am competing in, I thought I could at least give you an update on them. I played last thursday against PokerMagazine, I went 2-2 in my HU matches, and I won my SnG.

So, I played the first round of the poker league. The blind structure was really nice. 10k chips, 25/50 - 25 minutes. After every 25 minutes you got 3 minutes to talk with your team. Things started out great and I had almost 20k going into the second brake. Some well timed bluffs, and overall solid play. I tried to bluff a guy with his Q high flush. Then something happened that had never happened before. I didn't get any cards, nothing. For about 2.5 hours I didnt get a decent hand. So the blinds started to eat off of my stack. I found QJ off and moved allin, I managed to tripple up with a K high straight. I still only had about half of what the average stack had, so not much to do.. After about 30 mins, I found 99 and moved allin, only to get a call by AK. I was out 22'nd out of 60. Our team was really unlucky, out captain had found AA, and moved in preflop facing QQ and KK. Flop came Q high - turn AND river Kings. It was alot of fun to playing 5-6 hours of poker.

I was sort of hungover and I didn't manage to shave, I'm the guy with the blue sweater.

So this weekend will be a weekend with lots and lots of poker. On friday we will have our traditional afterwork with beer and poker in our office. More than half the company plays poker, so we usually play a mini-tournament with 30 people or so. I've played in it twice, getting 3rd and 2nd place. Afterwards people like to play cashgames too.

On saturday I will be competing in an offline poker league in Sweden called "lagpokerligan". That should be a lot of fun too. I will also try to play online the whole weekend. I am going to cashout out my whole roll too after this weekend, so lets hope for a good poker weekend. We are in the lead in the Martins Poker League. We beat De Knjiff and Thuritz team last week. Today we're playing another team called "Skåne" - Omaha time. I still haven't made my debut yet, but I will probably play next thursday!

On a sidenote, I am going to have to start playing omaha, so if anybody has some simple guidelines I would be more than thankful. I'll play the $1 sng's just to get the hang of it.

So I played a $10+2 yesterday with 1050 people in it. I never play MTT's but I decided to play the daily double (A). My goal was of course to get ITM, next goal was FT. Then I wanted a Top 5 place, I ended up in 3rd and recieving $880 or something. I got to bed like at 08:30 AM - I played the whole night. Today I'm just going to take it easy, I'll play a session in a while, but first I'm going to eat breakfest

Regarding the martinspoker league, we are still in first place. We beat De Knjiff and Thurtiz team last time

Deuces lose?

So I checked my group, and we got Team Martinspoker De Knijff/Thuritz in our group. I am not playing today, they will send this league on a webradio, so you are more than welcome to listen. I will also update you guys when I'm playing. €55800 in the prizepool, and the finals takes place in las vegas. There are 32 teams in the leauge; MartinsPoker. I am playing in the bluff devision, agressive conference!

I myself haven't really played any poker at all since I was at the casino last sunday. I played basiclly the whole weekend and I am sort of "out-pokered".

Oh, my roommate and I both play poker, and we challenged eachother yesterday. We each will deposit $100. In 7 days time we'll see who made the most out of those $100 (no rebuys). I think he will mainly play SnG's $10+1, I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. Any advice?

So, I got back from the Casino after playing the freezeout. We were 80 people on 10 tables. Things went pretty well to start off. I stole some blinds, and was doing pretty good. At least above average.

I find 99 in late position. I call a raise of 400 (blinds 75/150). We are three in the pot. The flop comes 9-6-6, 2 hearts SWEET! I call a bet of 700, third person goes allin the guy who made the previous bet goes allin and I ofcourse call. The show: JJ, and AA. An ace came on the turn, and I had to leave the table 62nd place. Oh well thats poker.



My roommate wanted to play some cash games, so he sat down and played 20/20 (swedish crowns) pot limit. I didn't feel like it but I still registered and was waiting for a place at the table. After getting some money, I saw that they had opened a NL table (50/50). Roughly $7/$7.

So I sit down with $210, I take down a couple of pots so I get up to around $300. I raise (botton) to 400, I get a reraise to 1200. After thinking for a minute or two I put my chips in the middle with AJc. I flopped a jack and he mucks his cards (SHIP IT). So I'm doing pretty good now, I got around 6000kr ($840). But I seem to lose a couple of pots, and I leave the table with 4200 (almost $600). So I've had a pretty good weekend, +$600 (including friday).

Uhm, I'll probably get my UltimateBet account going this week, clear their bonus. As I said in the last two blogs; (any diets tips, please let me know:D)

So, I'm going to play the NL500+100kr Freezeout at the Casino tomorrow with two friends. Goal: Getting in the money. 80 players, top 9 get paid.

So as usual we had our "after work" yesterday, lot's of beer, wine, cider and pizza at work. Then we played a poker tournament. Buyin 100 swedish crowns (~$14). To my surprise we were actually 24 people, top 3 get paid. So at my table I was playing very aggressivly. We had 3 tables with 8 players on each table. I only knew about one player on my table, my boss who is a solid poker player. Anyways, I eliminated 5-6 players by myself on my table. So things were looking pretty good. Key hands from the first table; A10c on the button. My boss sitting under the gun raises to 500 (blids 25/50). One caller, I reraise them allin. Both of them call, my boss shows AJoff and the other one shows KQoff. My lovely 10 comes on the turn. I had taken out 4 people prior to that hand, so I had a good amount of chips now.

Down to two tables now, since I had such a chip advantage, and I wanted to come itm so I tightened up my game (doesn't work with beer). Stole acouple of blinds, then I tried a bluff where this danish poker pro whom instead doubled up. He is a $15/30 $25/50 player if I remember correctly. So we are down to 3 people, and I got about 35% the danish guy had 50% and the third guy had about 15% of the chips. I let the third guy double up on me, so I'm very shortstacked, but I find AQoff in the very next hand and go allin. Both of them call and check it out with 22 and KQ. I find my Ace on the river and I'm doing ok again. So the danish guy takes out this other guy and he has a 3v1 chip advantage. We steal a couple of blinds, but he finds 66 and I find A2s, no ace came but I still won 800 swedish crowns.

Some people were playing cash games, by this time I was fairly drunk but I thought what the hell. So they were playing 1/2 blinds with a min buyin of 300kr (roughly $50 and the blinds are ~0.10/0,25). First couple of hands I couldn't find anything, so I basicly folded. Until I found KK under the gun, I reraised up to 12. 2 callers. Flop came 2-8-8 rainbow, I check he bets I call. Turn came a K, I check again. He goes allin with about blinking ' insta call! I probably doubled my money, another hand that I found was AJoff where I raised and 2 people went allin with 60kr, I call. One person had KK, the other had 910h. flop came 10-8-6. a 9 came on the turn, and ofcourse a 7 came on the river giving me a staight. We were only 3 people playing, and on them wasn't that good. But once again I had to sit down with my boss. The final and biggest pot of the evening. my boss had been making these crazy raises, like in a 20-30 crown put, he would make a bet of 200. Since it was dark and I am colorblind I had trouble with the colors of the chips, but my boss had trouble too and accidently raised up to 55 instead of 15. I call with K4s (it felt right at the time). Flop came 5-3s-5. I bet out 300kr, just like he had done. So he started discussing with this guy from pokermagazine what hand I could have. They probably went over the hand for about 10 minutes, putting me on a AK, AQ. I knew he had 3, so I started to trashtalk a bit, in hope that he would fold. He pushed, and I was committed so I called. Turn 2 of spades, river 8 of spades - giving me a runner runner flush so a little over 1000kr in that pot to me
I left the office with 1700kr (~$240) in my pocket - after buying in for ~$14. I met up with my roommate and some of his friends, grabbed a couple of beers and went out. I spent about 700kr on taxis and various shit, so I have 1000 left.

I played 30 min of poker on the internet prior to the poker tournament and won a sh sng $10+1 (my speciality) and I 2 tabled NL10 and made about $50.

Oh, and if some still has someone "diets" or a weekly food schedule for eating healthy I would be very thankful

So as I wrote in my previous post I will be competing in a live poker league in Sweden, called "lagpoker ligan". So that's going to be alot of fun, I'm really looking foward to that. I will also compete in a online league: Martins Poker Online League. Martin De Knijff and Patrik Antonius each have their own team in this league. I will be playing with some very good poker players, so I should learn alot. That's another thing I'm looking foward to!

Pokerwise, I didn't play that much yesterday but I'm up a couple of buyin's. I will transfer around $300 on to some poker site in a couple of days. I really like Fulltilt, but I kind of fucked the rakeback up, so I don't get any. I wrote an email to their support asking if I can close down my account and re-open it, ofcourse their answer was no.

Uhm, I really want to have a full blown poker weekend, but I don't think that it will be the case. Since I might travel home to see my mom and my stepdad since they are in Sweden. Both of them live in Chicago so I don't see them that much. My dad lives in Germany so I don't see him that much either. I might be moving to Chicago next fall to start studying, I really haven't decided what I am going to do. I've been thinking about opening an accound either on UB or on Mansion, any suggestions? I want to play on a site that has NL25 + rakeback.

Oh, has anyone ever been on a diet? If you could help me out on eating healtier since I want to loose a couple of kilos. I'll post two pictures of myself so you can see the difference, it's only a couple of kilo's but I want to follow a weekly routine with my eating habits. Just want to point out that I hardly ever eat junkfood. Just want some pointers! As you can see my face is a bit rounder I know some of you will point out that I should exercise, I do walk everyday and when the snow has disappeared I will start running.
