Ever since I moved to Tromsø 1 and a half month ago me and Erik (Dokosoko) have been playing Squash 4 times a week or so, and I've never managed to win.
I been frustrated, annoyed, trying so hard to beat him, watched tips on youtube, searched on the web for how to take backhand strokes better. But nothing seemed to work. But I've slowly build up my insanely bad endurance, and now it's sicker than it's ever been!
So we played today as well, and it was siiiick!
I felt I played pretty good, first set I was up in the lead most of the match, at one point 7-3 in my favour, but he made a comeback and I managed to lose 9-7
Second set I managed to beat him 9-7 which felt great!!
Third set I was starting to get really exhausted, but something weird now, instead of just getting really exhausted and downhill from there, a short break, some water and I'm good to go again full energy woaah!! Third set was really close, it went to 10-8 to him, you have to win with 2 goals, so nearly had it, and I made him run a lot more than usual, and I was playing good, still struggling on my backhand left side serve catch!!
On the fourth set I was just happy I did so well, but didn't expect to win it, because by now I'm starting to get so exhausted, and he's in great shape and never get exhausted, but for some reason I just didn't get tired, and I managed to win 9-7!!
Siiiick a tie 2-2!!
We took one more set, at the start I felt i played beautifully, I took the lead 8-0!! Then I got really nervous, he played sick well, perfect serves, and I started to miss and do stupid mistakes, he caught up to me 8-8 and I got really disappointed!
I just thought, ah so what, I never done this well, I'll just try my best and he took it 9-8!! Or so I thought, for got you had to win with 2 goals, and then we had some amazing points come, and we played for nearly 20 minuts more. Just kept winning the serves of eachother (U have to win the serve before you can win a point).
I managed to catch up and take the lead 10-9, he caught up and it was 11-10 for him, then I managed to catch up to 12-11 and at the end probably one of the best action we had, were we switched the ball 20 times or something, having to really throw ourself to catch it, run at the back, then run forth, he won that cool one ,but missed serve, i won it back, and took it 13-11 xD
But didn't gloat or like "IN UR FACE" Just felt grateful, never had this good endurance, and he's so competitive, he'll give me hell next time, and it just felt great to finally win once xD
Yayy!!
Oh, didn't notice I wrote so much, sorry lol, no1's gonna bother to read this lol!! But felt good writing it anyway <3 xD
Friend linked me to this, watch the first video full before watching the second video:
All my thoughts voiced in the second video
Winter is about to hit down-under, going to head up for a week to Mt Hotham for snowboarding which should be awesome.
Oh and LP has been a great place to be for the last week with Rhaegar vs Rekrul turning into Rhaegar and co. vs the world and then some guy begging for help posting up his myspace and loco finding a semi naked picture of the guy posing in underwear (W T F?!)....
To those unfortunate enough to be down in the slumps or stressed out, smile ... it helps ...or don't and keep bringing smiles to everyone else's lives
I've finally managed to get the FTP client to look better than ass so I'm thinking of moving my roll over for the 100% deposit bonus and rakeback.
I'm sitting just over $500 which is pretty sweet :D
From what I understand I'd need 8300 FTPs to clear the bonus but I've also been told that the bonus is deducted from the calculation of rakeback until it's cleared. Can anyone explain to me how the calculation works as I'm a little fuzzy on it.
Also if anyone wants to let me know what NL25 is like on FTP vs Stars I'd appreciate it. Also funny pictures are welcome.
Yesterday I play roughly 110 sngs and was only up about $60 which isnt bad in my mind but i'm sure everyone on here will say its sucks but its not like I did it on purpose...
In my never ending quest to get rid of FT points, I've been playing a bunch of satellites. Jesus F Christ these things are soft. Whenever I play tournaments of any type I always say, "...if only we could get these people to play cash games", but wow, this player field is a whole new level of soft. Problem is, I know nothing about these. I recognize the glaring errors in bubble play and near-bubble play, but I can't honestly say I'm playing optimally myself. I've watched some videos, but I'd really like some written resources on topics such as: push/fold ranges on the bubble, how you should play pre bubble with big stacks, how you should play on the bubble with big stacks, etc, etc.
Any guidance whether it be from you guys or directing me somewhere else would be helpful. The math-ier the better.
Last few days really gone up and down, highest I've been at was around 2780 euro roll, and that felt amazing, then dropped down to 2500 again, then up to 2700 twice.
Today I started off losing 2-3 buy ins, then winning back 4 buy ins or so which felt pretty good, but had a session just now where I lost A LOT (comparing it to my normal standards) And my roll fell down to 2400, so have to go down to 20nl and grind it up again. GRRR

Sick I feel like I am near rock bottom. Obviously I'm not, I still have plenty of a roll for 1/3 but its more like a confidence killing thing and being stressed that I'm out here on my own (except for myth's support ofc <333333) and not winning atm. Mostly just feeling so stressed ...
I've played enough live now to understand what people are doing so I need to start following through with my reads. THIS R SERIOUS http://polygamia.pl/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/serious-cat.jpg
btw first guy who replied to that blog can suck my balls
btw I think I'm going to deposit 2k on FTP and grind nl50 on the side and move up as appropriate, maybe it'll keep me sharp 'n such.. If I do that I will still have 28 buyins for 1/3 so whatever..)
