Yeah so I dont really update this blog anymore but meh. In recent news I didnt play almost anything in january, ended the month slightly in the red. February started out great, I finally in the mood to play again and I logged alot of hands playing 3/6-10/20. Peaked my profits at around 35k + an ept copenhagen package. Copenhagen was awesome, eventhough I busted on the first day it was a really fun experience and I loved hanging out with everyone there. Really made me wanna quialify for ept san remo and monte carlo.
However, after returning from copenhagen poker has really gone to shit. In a combination of playing sloppy/tilted/retarded and getting coolered and cold decked I think Ive lost around 30k, meaning ive basicly killed all my profits from february in like a week. So much of this was my own fucking fault, whenever I run bad it just creates a huge negative spiral for me where I just play worse and worse. Its so fucking pathetic how I can let losing affect me when I am basicly freerolling life.
I dont think I can ever completely stop myself from being affected by poor results, but what I can do is take good breaks when poker isnt treating me well. This would minimize the damage of downswings so much and it tilts me to no end that I dont do this more often. The main problem is that where I live right now there is really nothing much to do during the day. All I do is basicly work out/play the piano, play poker and play dota. I very easily get bored and feel useless if I dont put in a couple of hours of grinding. Playing retarded and tilty poker is an expensive cure for boredom though and I really need to stop doing it. So from now on I will be taking a break from poker alltogether for a week. Only exception being maybe some sunday donkaments but primarily the ept sattelites as I want to take every chance I have to win a seat.
Tomorrow im buying a guitar and some books to keep me ocupied. Wish me luck!
I just arrived to the hotel. Unfortunately being the fish I am I forgot to save the phone numbers fazi and soah gave me so I dont really know how to contact them. If any of you guys read this im in room 527. Call me up or something, Im starving!
Yaye! I just won a seat to the EPT Copenhagen. Spent probably like 2-3k on sattelites so I would have been pissed if I didnt win it. I think its going to be awesome, Copenhagen is a sick city and this will be my first major live donkament ever so Im really exited! I also hear alot of legendary lpers are coming like mezmerizeplz and nolan.
Seriously if you dont find this hysterical you have never been in an epic street poker match. This is not only a pretty solid analysis of certain game dynamics but its a perfect analogy and its hilarious in so many ways.
Im to lazy to randomly hassle my msnlist so ill just post it here, looking for 10k on FTP for 10k on stars. If you wanna do less than that its fine with me, only reputable members obv.
Just got back from a snowboarding trip in Åre, Sweden. As I was there I came to the realization that I really dont want to move back to my appartment and just grind poker after this. Im just tired of living in a small town in sweden when I could be living anywhere in the world as long as I have a solid internet connection. Also, if all goes well I will go back to school in the fall and this months up to that might be the only opportunity to do a long trip I will have in a long time.
A long dream of mine has been to go boarding in Canada where the best powder snow in the world is to be found. I have the money, I have the time. Why the fuck wouldnt I? Gogo imo! Just gotta sort a bunch of stuff out before I go, like, find a place to live and stuff. Im pretty pshyced about the whole idea of it though and I cant believe I didnt think of this earlier.
This blogpost didnt really have a purpose more than to ramble I guess but If anyone has been to whistler feel free to share any useful information you can think of.
