Stuff and stuff |

Poker in February was fairly bad. Played probably like 10-15k hands and lost a couple of K's. Was up 15k or so mid month and then proceed to drop it in a couple of bad-ish 10/20 sessions. Annoying. Played a big live. On ~400€ PLO event with something like 40 players in which I finished probably 2-3 spots away from the bubble. Did not get any hands but out of the ~25 people I was at the same table as during the event I found 1 person who I considered half decent and in all likelihood someone who had played the game before. Then I played some 1.2K NL thingy which I did decent in until I ran 80 bbs, or 2x avarage, into topset with my 88 on T84ss against some guy who I had tangled with a bit. I also played some live 20/20 SEK which is something like 3/3€ or so some Saturday night since my girlfriend wanted me to tag along to the casino to see some friends of hers.
Played one hand that wasn't super standard. Before this hand I sat with 3000 SEK or so after having shipped over a squeeze while talking like a mad man and overall made my best "I have AA"-impression which got me folds. Young guy who seems to be friendly with some good tournament players and I've seen in some highish stakes tournaments (like 1-1.5k buy ins) raises in CO to something like 5 or 6bb's with like 200bb behind, some other 25-30 y/o who seems like he is some kind of "live reg" and sits really deep calls and some fish calls. I call BB with T7ss which obviously is questionable. Flop is A87 rainbow with a spade. I decide to lead to get rid of the guy I suspect might be good, he mumbles something confused and the live reg calls. Fish folds. I think I put something like 450 into 600 or so but I'm not completely sure but pot is ~1400 and I've got 2400 or something behind. Turn is 9s giving me a straight draw and a flush draw to go with my seven. From the moment I put money in the pot on the flop I've started talking a ton of random crap with some tilted fish who isn't in the pot and also made a couple of weird claim about my hand. I keep doing that and put 900 into 1400 leaving me with 1500 or so behind in case he calls. Likey y/n? I can't play NL lol.
The weight bet is going fine. In 4 weeks I've lost 7.5 kilos and I think I'm losing just over 1kg/week right now which is about the right amount from my perspective. I'm still fairly low on energy from time to time but I feel fine and I'm seldom hungry thanks to my paleo-ish diet. Still favour a lot of fruit and stuff rather than fat but that's mostly to keep my calorie intake very low. Getting down to ~90kg by late June would be good for me and then maybe something like 85 during late summer would be ideal.
I'm also very happy that my small bet on Okami over Lombard worked out. Was a little worried in the third but Lombard is simply not a very smart fighter and I suspect he has some cardio issues. Dude's just a brawler and he has too much muscle on his frame. I was right when I wrote:
"Huge size difference, Okami having much better wins the last few years and the fact that Lombard haven't really beaten anyone in the top 10 makes me think that Okami might decision him.
Also before the KO (that he probably learned from) Okami was schooling Boetsch who got a fairly close win over Lombard, so unless Lombard brings his real A-game I don't think he'll actually win standing unless he gets the KO."
UFC 158 seems like it'd be hard to bet on though. Maybe Nate over Ellenberger if the odds are good enough, but I'll probably just end up watching it and rooting for Diaz. UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Mousasi will probably have a lot more good opportunities to put bets down. I think Robbie Peralta over Akira will be a fairly safe bet if the odds are reasonable and Ryan LaFlare "should" win over Alloway. Might wanna look close at Amagov vs Spång too. Unless Amagov decides too grapple Spång will be a live dog.

7.5kg in one month. Supposed to lose 16kg in 4 months so 3 months to go and 8.5kg to go, should be a piece of cake. |

If you just lost 16kg in water weight the day before the bet time expires do you win? |

Yes, but I somewhat feel that's against the "spirit" of the bet. Also this is probably more healthy. |

If all else fails, I'm sure Dusty will Anthony Johnson his way into making weight.
No need to lose a bet just because your conscience might get in the way. You can cry over your win as you eat some pizza and drink some beers during the next UFC event. |

generally like your blog! just have a problem with your (in my opinion) overuse of "xx-ish" "fairly" "decent", like nothing is definitive. just -ish, farly good/bad etc.
but that is my problem, not urs!
