I quit my job about 2 weeks ago due to various reasons, and in Malmö its kind of hard to get a job here (i will not work at mcdonalds). If I nit up I can manage the summer with some I got saved up. On the other hand, my dad has gotten me an interview in stockholm next week, which sucks because a.) I have my girlfriend in malmö, and she gets really upset about the thought of me moving to Stockholm. B.) I moved from Stockholm to Malmö to be with my friends, and c.) getting an apartment in stockholm is hard, and I dont want to pay 2k/month, or live in a ghetto.
The good thing about moving is a.) its good job, a big company with a bunch of benefits, and I will most likely be making an ok amount.
I really really like my girlfriend, and I dont want to move from her. But on the other hand, I need to think about my future too...
I started playing some poker recently and its been going ok I guess. Will start grinding again next week. Mtts, cash game?
Summer - get ready
Me top right
So a nightclub got destroyed a few years back in my home town, now they've started to rebuild it and its soon
finished.
Got some friends over at www.husarrest.com that are dj:ing here in Malmö. Check them out, here is a youtube vid from one of their gigs in lund at the university.

1: how long have you been together?
2: is it possible she could move with you?
3: why did they build the entrance way around the trees rather than chopping them down
4: is 8 miles of tiled stairs a good idea at a nightclub when theres drunk people around?
1.) About 6 months
2.) She just go an apartment in central malmö (which takes 3-4-5 years), and is working in Copenhagen.
3.) The nightclub is right by the beach in southern Sweden.
4.) Probably not.

When I lived in Stockholm I lived inbetween Östermalmstorg and Karlaplan, and I would not want to live outside of tullarna...

WhenICanIWill, May 21 2009
this girl drives me craaaaaaaazy, she looked so fucking good last night even though they made an ass of her. found lots of pics, i cant even decide which ones to post so i'll just post them all
First 100k hands after learning how to use HUD correctly (I used it incorrectly for years and didn't truly understand how to play hands vs different stats til moving to Vegas and learning from rS.eVaDe over the course of a week or so like a month ago. Thanks Adolpho :-)
Or maybe its not the FR that sucks, but I at the FR that sucks. :-)
So after comin to vegas, I played nit ring and MTT for a month or so, b4 realizing I'm a 6 max and HU player no matter what, and pretty decent at MTTs here and there, but have a LONG, LONG way to go to be one of the best MTT players, and a LONG way to go to make it to the top of the cash game ladder as well.
So there is a guy i play with every day on cake who is 100% straightforward no range balancing etc. What he has is at all times 100% transparent to me.
Has someone ever calculated how deep i need to be to call with 54s or 56os or anything like that? It's insanely easy to figure with a set because you can only hit one hand that you want to continue with postflop. If someone can show me a site where they show the likelihood of flopping all of those types of hands I'll make a really good post with my results.
I can't get unstuck tonight, down 706 dollars, played a shitload of hands got assraped and nothing really went well. I won 2200 the other day though, still way up on the month even though im only averaging like 1k hands a day this month which is really really shitty considering poker is my only source of income and i only play nl200. I want to play more but none of the regs will play shorthanded with me and all the tables just broke and i tried to play full ring and instantly threw up and left.
It breaks my heart into pieces when regs dodge me -- Especially when they mouth me and tell me how horrible i am. They insta leave at hu after i raise every hand for about 10 hands and on their last hand they 3b to try to recover losses and leave after the 3b hand. Happens every single time i swear. I usually just 4b with any2.
I haven't got to play much this month because ive been sick busy with getting my new house ready to live in, painting, buying shit, building shit, fixing shit. It's pretty fun really, I miss having a real job and this gives me that fix a bit. I dont wanna do it forever though but still, real jobs are pretty cool they just pay too terribly to consider when im making more money a month than 90% of the people who live in my community.
I want a girl in my life. I'm lonely romantically. I think i might deposit some money to stars or just sit and observe some tables and or look around and see if FTP is easier than cake where everyone is a reg. The fcking cake hand converter is broken too, i can't use PT anymore which also shatters my heart into pieces. DWI classes this weekend and i get my license back on the 4th of may!
I dunno want else to rant about i doubt any of you care, life is good!
this could potentially be the biggest f'ing WIN of my life. and possible the biggest win i will ever achieve...if i fuck this up, i'm off'ing myself. I've done some stupid shit to ruin potentially great things, and i've failed. and i always thought that the reason i've failed is bc i learn from mistakes and eventually, i win.
In other news, wsop starts in a couple weeks, pretty excited about it, gonna play atleast 4 $1500 events (most likely goin 50/50 with a friend/(s) on them), and also highly likely that I will be in the ME.
hrm, our lease is up july 1st, so im gonna start lookin at new places soon around the vegas area, anyone who knows any nice apartments plz link me
mmmmmmm.........lost like 1400 last weekend
won like 600 this week
+1800 this month so far.....
Doing well in the cashgames, sucking in MTTs
Gotta start putting more hours in and smoke less pot
after an epic 16k breakeven strech i get my well deserved heater! about time! love saturday NIGHT!
omg i just realised i played 16k hands in 2 days lol. 12 tabling 6max limit ftw
some notable hands if u nl players are interested in seeing what goes on in the world of min bet poker!! limit is all abt squeezing those extra vbets in.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690193
77 vs preflop 3bet. the flop is paired, its unlikely he has a piece of it. his likley holdings are aj-ak kq kjs so i craise him for value and to protect my hand. he just calls and my assumption is correct. however some gd players wait for the turn to reraise if they are strong, with a read, u could fold to a turn reraise. i cbet the turn, he just calls and his hand is now face up. river is easiest vbet in the world and he pays me off.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690195
blind defense hand. i hit mp with a gs and op to donk out and he rearises me. no point reraising here as my hand has sd value and plenty of outs. i make trips on the turn and craise him and he 3bets. i put him on a draw and cap. river is an easy vbet and he pays off with a draw and pair
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690202
he 3bets me and 1010 is a cap pre flop for me. flop comes k high i bet and he just calls. same thinking as hand1 and river is easiest valuebet
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690204
i make trips on flop, i slow play and just call, waiting to cr turn. on the turn comes the worse card in the world. no point rerasing here, im Way ahead way behind. i fold out worse hands and lose value and get value towned by better hands so i just call. my line induces him to bluff the river with a high.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690185
i have lots of history with this guy, and he is very very spewy and donates to me every session. i make trips and a fd on the flop, and he reraises me on turn. since he just called pf, its impossible for him to have AK KK and very unlikely A9 A8. from expereince, he goes nuts with trips no kicker so his likely holding is ace2-6. having the fd makes it an easy cap on the turn vs this player. the river completes my flush and i elect cap it - and get max value from his ace10 which i was quite surpised to see. vs a normal tag i would have just called down the river.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/690179
i had notes on this player as being very passive and make this sick fold getting 10bilion to 1 with the second nuts. HAND OF THE WEEK PLZ
SPOILER: Blog post contains epic pictures of VITAL FUCKING MYTH below.
Yea, so my New Years Resolution about keeping my blog updated is not going so well as you can see. The playing 2500 hands each day minimum was going well for about 3 weeks, then I realized I'm lazy. I started going to the gym, then stopped, then started again, then stopped again, and now I'm just too busy to get my ass back up to go again. I'm pretty bad with time management and organization in general so that definitely is probably contributing to my so-called laziness. Other than that, this year has been a successful one already for one simple reasons: THE LIVE POKERS!
There is a card room in San Diego called Palomar where they run a 5/10 game with a $2k cap buy-in, with the occasional 10/20 w no cap buy-in. I knew about the place when I first came down here to San Diego, and visited it once or twice at the beginning of last year, when I didn't really have the motivation or discipline to play live poker yet so I never really went back. After a year of practice on the live tournament circuit, and losta time spent in the Vegas live cash games I came back to San Diego with more of both motivation and discipline. So starting last November, I started to dedicate atleast one day a week to the Palomar grind. At the beginning of this year, I was going 2-3 times a week. Starting March I upped it to 4-5 times a week. Basically it would be spewing money not to go, the games are THAT juicy. It really is the sweetest mix of loose/passive random middle aged guys, super old super nits, and gambling loose aggrotards. Very comparable to the Commerce games during LAPC (Really, nothing on earth will surpass the goodness of the live games are Commerce during LAPC). From Jan 1st to the present I'm up ~$65k playing live 5/10 and 10/20 (which breaks down to 21k at Commerce 10/20, and 44k at Palomar 5/10). Pretty funny since most of my time is still spent playing online NL 6-max / HU, and I'm up but not close to those numbers so far this year.
All the practice has really made my live poker reads really sharp, mainly because I get pretty good insight into how different people think about how to play hands. Before I'd always think "Shit this guy is so stupid, none of his logic makes any sense" but now I realize that most people actually attempt some sort of reason to their play and even thou it is incorrect the majority of the time, now it makes a lot more sense to me on why they think these ways in certain spots. Can't think of a better way to put it, here is kind of a basic example of what I'm trying to say: Player A never realizes the pot size in any hand. Therefore, when he faces a $50 bet to him and has the decision between calling or folding he only sees the size of the bet. He reasons that his opponents hand is probably weak because he only bet $50. If his opponent bet $250, he reads the hand strength as strong. So he ends up calling looser in single raised / limped pots, and folding big (seeing ghosts in the closet) in 3bet pots, assuming that his opponent is adjusting his betting sizes to the size of the pot (surprisingly some people don't adjust their betting sizes either because most of them think like Player A). Just one of a dozen things that run through the head of your average live player. Live poker so ez lol...
So far this year, went to LAPC which was a bust tournament wise (Direct yourself two blog posts down to my 10k Commerce event recap), followed by a trip to Rincon which is an hour north of San Diego (even thou they call it WSOP Circuit in San Diego, but in reality that shit hole is nowhere close to SD). Only played the main event there and ended up getting 8th for $24.5k which made up for all the LAPC buy-ins I dropped which was nice. Last hand was a coinflip to the ever so aggressive shaundeeb prodigy, Esther Tayor (E-Tay) for a top 2 stack. Decided to skip the Bellagio series because I got lazy and decided to do real life fun stuff with my friends, here is a short recap with pics:
On Oahu with a couple high school buds of mine, this is the backside of Poli
On top of Diamond Head over looking Honolulu & Wakiki
Going snowboarding for the first time @ Big Bear
On the lift... before I bruised my tail bone on a rock
My boy Noah and I on Valentines Day with the girls in LA @ Geisha House
Some girl smiling at the camera before I smashed her skull open with my pool stick. GTFO bitch it's my picture day imo.
That's VITAL FUCKING MYTH!
That's VITAL FUCKING MYTH ONE MORE TIME!
Oh yeah so last Friday was my 24th birthday. Fuck I'm old. We've discussed that if you're 21, you are the average age for an online poker player. At 24, you reach your mid-life crisis. At 28+ your like grandpa (or grandma) to all these young-ins. We ended up having a chill dinner in Mission Beach at this bomb place called Mizu's where they are like "FUCK YEAH!" if you sake bomb. So we sake bombed all night, then headed to Bar West in PB which is also pretty ill. PBDrunks round-house kicked one of our grey goose bottles to the floor. Smooth.
For the weekend me and my "kinda" girlfriend Anna, went to Vegas to see Dave Matthews Band two nights in a row at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Let me mini-rant first: Wynn's ticket service people can suck my fucking left nut. Other than that is was an awesome weekend. Boyd Tinsley on the violin is the illest. Dave Matthews Band absolutely rocked the entire house. I'm def a big fan of all the new stuff they have coming out too. Can't wait til the new CD comes out in June.
Here is some random youtube clip of my favorite song 'Dancing Nancies' played on the second night (Note-> Boyd Tinsley rocks socks):
