Poker is going good. Played like 40k+ hands so far this month for a profit of just under 10k + rakeback. A lot of omaha which I'm learning very fast. Really excited about that and planing to put like 5k on some other site just to be able to play in more games since it's seldom more then like 2-3 5/10+ games going on at the same time on prima unless you get heads up action. Not sure if I can bring myself to leave my beloved Unibet though.
I'll start some courses soon so I won't be able to play as much in November and December which means that I'll have to play a lot this month to compensate for that. So far I'm ahead of my 20k/month goal since I took a break from law school but not by so much that I can just relax and say fuck it the rest of the year. Gotta grind!
Saw the Sweden vs Denmark game with some friends. Two guys from my hometown, two law students with their gf's and my roomie. After the game everyone chilled for a bit with some drinks and such and my hippie friend from back home took a gitarr and played and sang. The Wild Rover (NO NEVER NO MORE!) was a big hit. The we hit the town and people got lost if different directions but despite that I felt really happy and such despite actually dancing for a few hours. Got fairly drunk, tried txting the asian girl since I started to feel like a fifth wheel. My good law school friend P's gf J saw that and tried to read what I wrote, decided that I couldn't write like that and that I should probably be a bit nicer. I told her that I did respect her opinion a lot, however, I didn't care for it now but if I would every try to booty call someone I actually cared about I promised to first ask her opinion. Surprisingly enough she seemed happy with that. P approached me a few minutes later and asked me what happened. I told him that we had disagreed about the details of drunk late night text messaging. He seemed worried and told me that J always got her will through at which point I told him of the compromise and added that I would never dream of going against her suggestions since in this world I'm only afraid of 3 things; Death, Oliver Khan and her. He seemed happy with that. Got Asian girl to come over and took a cab home with her. I'm not really a fan of being drunk and sleeping with people at all but considering the alternative of going home alone or trying to pick someone up while in the state of mind I was in it was nice enough.
In other news I've started listening to Elvis Costello. He's fairly good.
So I've finally managed to get in the green for the month (after almost 35k hands), I've finally understood what Bill Hicks says in this vid;
and I watched part two of ep 8 of two months two millions (up on pokertube). It felt so good, I could feel those feelings like he probably felt it and it was almost as cool as feeling them yourself.
Anyway, down like 10k so far for the month, running sets into stuff that beats me and backdoors low flushes vs higher flushes. I've got faith though, I feel pretty good about things right now. Also; due to starting the month by getting like 17k hands in during the first 4 days I think I might've won Unibets weekly rake race for a trip to Unibet Open Warzaw (didn't think I would go before I noticed this). Not 100% sure, but still. Nice little bonus. Says some stuff about my playing habits though, heh.
Also did some fishing today. Was fun, I like doing stuff in the rain with dad and my cousin.
- 13k€ under equity
- Down like 3k or so after rakeback (I guess, +/-1k)
- Had a few sessions when I should've stopped earlier, might've taken a few poor decisions.
Good stuff:
- Learned a lot about Omaha, actually made a decent profit playing that this month.
- Had some sessions when I played really good.
- Managed to almost break even despite running so pisspoor over this sample that I'm fairly sure that the last 30k hands or so must be the worst run of my life.
Found out that I've got another month free from school (almost) so I'll try to get a lot of hands in, aiming for like 80k+ and if I make like 10-12k on 5/10 fairly fast I'll be back at 10/20 in no time. Also feels really good to have omaha as a back up when NL games are bad or I'm to tired to play and want to play lower.
As for traveling Prague was fun, Skåne was fairly weird but I ran into an old friend of mine (legendary for being one of the most banned persons ever on the Swedish forum Flashback) and it was fun having a few beers with him.
Think I've got a little bit of a cold, but other then that I feel really good. Even though I'm ahead of schedule as far as my monthly goals since I took a break from law school it'd be really nice if I could get big month now to really feel that I'm back on track since I won't be able to play super much in November and December.
Day before we went me and Pinny decided that you can't wake up half past 6 in the morning to get to a plane, so we decided to sit up grinding poker and computer game. Since Remmember can't book flights for shit the way to Prague was like this; (see pic)
He also managed to get us like minutes from missing the first plane and overall he tilted me. I therefore didn't warn him about some of the finer points of sleeping in the same room as Eric and precautions you should take. Right now I feel he's a bit annoyed with me. Although, to be honest I think he looks a little bit too happy here:
Anyway, the next day I busted the tournament pretty fast, made this interview (@2.50 or so). They told me not to say anything about wanting to join the ETA just because I got busted by a Spanish short stacker. After that I tilt-told my sister to book earlier flights home. Then I got to drinking more seriously. My sister had a friend in town so we started out with her, and then Pinball joined us when he busted like a champ. After a few drinks we ordered in a bucket of Cuba Libre.
After that everything got uglier by the hour.
Can anyone tell who's been drinking for 10 hours straight and who's about to win a shitload of money?
Other then that I've only got 2 observations; ordering Absinth shots by mistake in Prague is a mistake and Rem has no taste at all in liquor.
The last day we had dinner with some unibet people. If I can get enough interest I'm thinking of getting a little bet going on what went through the head of the Lady next to us in this pic when she choose her outfit:
(also if someone can tell me wtf it is it'd be cool too)
Bets:
Lost 2x CCR for a total of like 150€.
Omaha flips: Lost a little bit
Lost 40€ getting 3-1 about if Remember believed in hell.
