Anyways, just went on christmas vacation from work, and im off til the 11th, I'll probably work throughout the holidays on some stuff. Going to Munich on monday to celebrate x-mas for a week. Gonna come back and grind my nuts off, so please let me run good poker gods..!
So Im drinking my morning coffee at work, and just about to drink my grean tea. This is basically my morning routine when I get to work, is that I have one cup of coffee with milk, and some grean tea.
Anyways pokerwise, Im going to start playing some more heads up, since I got steel city to coach me, so that should be interesting. I got a bunch of leaks to fix, and at times I think i'm overthinking hands, but hey practise makes perfect.
Workwise is going fairly well, im at an IT company doing marketing and starting to get more and more into sales again, which is cool. I used to manage a sales team so I kind of miss it. Moneywise its fairly good too, I would say roughly 60k a year. I however dont really notice that im making more money than before since, a.) my apartment is shitty expensive and b.) i fly back "home" every weekend (which is not free as one would think).
My girlfriends birthday was 2 weeks ago and I bought a trip to paris for us, and booked an apartment down there for a long weekend. We're flying out on the 4th of dec at 1800is iirc, and flying back on monday night on the 7th at 2200ish. One of my best friends is in paris this semester so its going to be awesome seeing him. (Btw thank you balzamon)
I have also booked my x-mas flight to my dads place in munich, germany and will basically have 3 weeks holiday. Im going to grind a TON during the holidays, and make alot of money (hopefully). My old job is hosting their regular yearly donkament, which is a 80 dollar freezeout. I played the first one 2 years ago, and managed to obviously bubble (4/30 - top 3 get paid) against my boss. My old boss is a very very smart business man, I dont even want to think how rich he is, because its probably insane. Not only is he smart, but he is a decent poker player and treats himself in playing the main event every year = his results speak for them self: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=46628
So my goals for november:
[ ] Playing 10k hands of HU
[ ] 20 pushups and 20 situps to start off with (every day)
[ ] FT one donkament
So a friend sent me this song on facebook, so I looked up the youtube vid and it seemed decent:
But I didnt really listen to the music whilst watching the video, so listening to it on spotify since its probably better.
On a more sad note, a good friend of mine committed suicide about 4 weeks ago, ive been wanting to vent and write a blogpost but i never really knew what to write.. This is the 3rd person to have committed suicide but this friend was the closest. We had not always been close since I didnt approve of the people he hung out with since they were bad influence, he had a drug problem, and what i found out later was that he had a gambling problem too. I had tried to help him before on taking a different route, and path in life, trying to get everything sorted, but he never wanted to listen.
Things got messed up after the tsunami in thailand. His mother who he loved and admired died in the tsunami, his little brother whoms hand he held when the wave came died too, he went out on a guilt trip since he wasnt strong enough to hold his brothers hand, and his grandfather passed away too down there. His father, his sister and he survived, but he never really got over it. Im thinking alot about his father and sister, they are and will be very strong people after this, I would not know what to do if I lost the majorty of my family.. Anyways his funereal is in gothenburg next friday, so its going to be nice saying good bye one last time.
Anyways may you all run good, and let me run good too. Thanks for listening.
After about 7 minutes of playing, I had 350 big blinds and I asked pinball to give me odds on winning this donkament (since I wanted to bet like 10 dollars), but he gave me 2:1 so that kind of sucked.
Thanks faz for the rail (even though you think im a nit at times )
So I accidently fucking deleted my blog post that I had started to write.
So anyways, I played poker about full time for 6 weeks this summer on a stake. End of July I cashed out and traveled to the US (chicago) for 4 days to do some fall shopping. So I bought a ton of clothes for my new job etc.
Anyways when I got home it was time for the yearly golf tournament that I've blogged about before. About 160 guys get invited every summer to play golf (about 60 play). So its all about having fun, and drinking. We start at 6 AM, and end at 3-4 AM. So almost 24 hours of drinking.
Anyways I'm working at an IT company called IBS, and found an apartment in Stockholm. I'm paying 8k (SEK) for it though, so its kind of expensive. Im thinking about starting to train MMA, I did Krav Maga when I was in the army.
Anyways I'm back playing mtts again on a stake, so please let me & my stakers run good!!!!!!
****BTW anyone want to stake me for WCOOP #43 215 NLH - PM and we'll work something out****
