Tomorrow I leave Taiwan back to the US where I spend a month handling shit and then coming back to Taiwan to live here for 2010. Ultimately that means I'll be hitting up most if not all Asia tourneys in 2010, but I also plan to play WSOP as well (if all goes well!). I've been in Asia (Taiwan, Macau, Tokyo) for the past 2 and a half months and here are my online results for that duration:
So I guess I ran like complete trash at 2/4 but made it up in 5/10. Over the past month though I've gotten extremely better and have went from 24/20 to playing around 28/24. Which is good because a month ago or so I was complaining that I wasn't improving and it made me feel shitty. November has been going really well so far and I hope it keeps up and I can close out these last 2 months strong. All I want for christmas is to realize my EV
i wanna do 100k vpp by december so badby whamm!, November 06
im just thinking about it now... i get 8800 in milestones plus fpps, granting i just break even lol
if by some miracle i pull off a W then better. any advice on people who play tons of hands? i havent really done 100kvpp in a month, maybe like 85k at best which was just one time and i got so tired and burnt out after. im planning to do it at 100nl. you think odds are good enough to go for it?
Its early morning (03.22) in Sweden so I'm talking about what happens yesterday. I was up like 3 bi after 800 hands or so, then after 1700 hands I was down 8,5 bi. That means a swing in 11,5 bi in only 900 hands, pretty sick imo.
Well, tonight I've worked, like a latvian whore on malmskillnadsgatan in stockholm, and won back around 6 bi of this. So with the rakeback Im almost breakeven on todays sessions.
last couple of days, last session was whack because i didn't really feel like playing, but i felt like i HAD to for some reason. at least i managed to break even, despite spewing two big pots
switching up from 18+ tabling nit 10/8 fag status to 8-10 tabling 16/13 mode.
in other news, since the beginning of that graph, AA is negative. rungoodonetimeimo
PTR started tracking <100NL hands right after I started my job. and this is how my graph looks like.
So I have decided to write Poker God's three amendments in my own blood, please see below.
So as I think I mentioned in a previous blog, I went to India. Just got back last friday. I have been sick for the past week with about every symptom you can think of - fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea, etc. Finally feeling better today.
I went to India for a work trip. For those who don't know, I work part time with a non-profit called PeaceJam (site is down for updates as I post this). We do work with Nobel Peace Prize winners and youth all around the world on both an educational program and service projects. Lately I've just been the web guy (built the site which is linked above with a friend) but I also help at conferences as an MC. No, not a rapper, it means "Master of Ceremonies" and it means I just kinda direct things from the stage.
Here's some pics from the trip for ya'll to enjoy.

Ok your a platnum star dude with 61K points. (For this example you make about 4-5K VPP, or 10-12.5K FPPs a week)
What would you do?
-save for next promo (for the possible instant cash bonuses)
(Best value for FPP's but promo occasions are unpredictable)
-save for a good electronics purchase (what would you get?)
-buy the highest non instant cash bonus (50K for 650$)
-???
btw the last promo, Pokerstars was selling 1000$ for 62K FPPs in September.
Does anyone remember from last year if PokerStars had a December promo?
Also deleted my facebook cus who the fuck needs one of those these days...seriously fuck off or I might actually be a nice humble guy when you meet me irl
FUCK NOVEMEBR
fuckin ridiculous
lose 300bb pots coz of 2 outers at least 2 times a DAY
FUCK YOU NOVEMBER
im turning 18 this month
i ll finally be of legal age to play poker and ofc i run like SHIT
on top of that i've been sick past 2 weeks and basically have become afuckingsocial
So I never play much poker each month, so I decided to buy a new computer and use it strictly for poker. I hope it makes me play more since it is specifically a poker station and not some place where I will fool around on msn, internet. GL Me.
The comp is overkill too, one of those i7s 860 with 8gig ram, yada yada anyways I hope crush.
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.
