Ok, let's eat it. |

Got a few things I wanted to talk about.
Gold got absolutely smashed a few weeks back. Too many theories about why so I won't even go there. I find some of the conspiracy nuts equally ridiculous as the guys who believes that gold just decided to suddenly drop like 10% over a few days for no reason after being a somewhat stable store of value for 5k+ years. I think it's probably just a little bit of wall street 2 going on, everything is leveraged to hell which makes really strange things happen. I think that a bunch of big western banks or other entities plays gold both long and short in an attempt to just smash causal traders and abuse sell-/buy-stops a fair bit too. So far it seems that the only thing that happened was that the demand for physical gold went trough the roof and unless the demand let's off again as prices goes back to "normal" this drop might've been a very good thing for gold. I'm fairly sure it will though, at least for a while, and the gold chart and such looks fairly bad so I think it'll take a while before we have a decent rally. Worst case scenario we'll see another leg down before anything good happens.
Anyway, since I've been living with my girlfriend for about two years I've learned never to waste a good discounts so I put some more money into metal streaming companies (this is not investing advice, blablabla) and bought some silver and gold coins. The delivery on the gold is fairly late, go figure. It's about two weeks now which is somewhat impressive considering the silver was sent in a day or two. Apparently a lot of things are sold out and it's a shortage of certain kinds of coins and investment bars in various places around the world.
The good news is that a silver dollar seems to be the right size, shape and weight to serve as a chip protector. Also, it makes a very distinct "clink" when you flip it in the air which is cool.
As far as poker goes my PLO winrate is ridiculous. I'm not playing enough to I'm crushing hard the few hands I do play. Running way above ev for the most part and not playing that many tables is nice. Running good at 10/20 PLO HU also helps, heh.
Trying to get Longple to tag along to Unibet Open in Portugal in a month or so with the plan of swapping like 10%, bust early day one and still get 10% of the first prize money. That'd be nice.
Tournaments has been going well. I min cashed in a bunch of high buy in tournaments this weekend and I've had a bunch of medium sized scores the last few weeks. Still down in tournaments lifetime (at least I think so, not really keeping tabs) but the last few months I've won a few K each month playing most of the big Sundays. Been watching a lot of runitonce content for MTT and PLO and it has helped out with both games. Thinking of playing a bunch of Scoop events, probably anything I know how to play that runs on Sundays and the big PLO/5cPLO/croucewhatever-stuff.
If anyone wants to buy action I'll probably be selling a bit at the following events assuming I play them:
High: $2,100 Pot Limit Omaha Heads-Up
High: $1,050 Pot Limit 5-Card Omaha Six-Max Rebuy - (not sure how to sell action in a rebuy, might skip selling for this one to get rid of the headache)
High: $1,050 Pot Limit Omaha Six-Max, Turbo, Rebuy - (not sure how to sell action in a rebuy, might skip selling for this one to get rid of the headache)
High: $1,050 Mixed No Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha - (stupid crap is running when I want to go to BJJ-class, so not sure if I'll play it)
High: $1,050 Pot Limit Courchevel 1 Rebuy, 1 Add-on Turbo - I love that game, I played a ton of it 5/10 HU while people still played it
High: $2,100 Pot Limit Omaha Turbo, Zoom - This one looks like something I'd be good at.
High: $5,200 Pot Limit Omaha Six-Max - Looks like great fun, probably fairly crappy value but it's scoop and very few people in the poker population knows how to play PLO well so if the field is big enough it might be worth it.
I'll possibly sell action in whatever high NL they run on Sundays too, but unless the fields in the "high" ones are really soft I'll just skip those I think. Saving like 10k in buyins would reduce variance a fair bit, heh.
Full disclosure:
1. Only time I ever sold action in online tournaments before I missed an event and thereby almost scammed Nolan out of 50 USD or something like that. It was a mistake (I forgot one of the tournaments) and I felt bad about it forever. Fairly sure most people consider me a good guy anyway.
2. I'm not in any way, shape or form sure that I'm a favourite in these. I'm fairly sure I'd be in the Courchevel and I would guess I am in most of the other's. Unsure about the 5.2k PLO-even, it depends a lot on how many randoms satellites in. However, I'm sure enough of myself that I'll play at least a couple of them regardless if anyone wants any piece of me.
3. Not gonna sell action to random. Only to people I know or who is respected on this site/vouched for by someone I know and trust.
4. Will send screenshot of my HEM2-database to anyone who passes point 3. and is interested. The PLO-cash stats are impressive, the MTT stats are not.
5. Unless demand is ridiculous I'll just sell 1:1 or swap % straight up I think. When I have a big db of me beating both MTT's and cash games I'll start selling at a premium, heh.
Also, I may or may not be online much the next few days so I might take a while to get back to anyone who tries to contact me. Facebook is probably the easiest way to get hold of me about anything that can't wait 3-4 days unless you have my phone number or e-mail.

Hey!
Randomly read this and just wanted to pop in and say that although that happened wayyy long ago as I recall it was resolved quickly/amicably and Dusty contacted me pretty much ASAP to sort it out.
Wasn't anything dodgy about it whatsoever and I bought % in a line up of WCOOP (FTOPS?) some MTT series. Was so long ago I don't even remember but I just bought a flat % package of a bunch of events so missing one was hardly an issue and like I said it was communicated promptly and effectively from SwedeBaller.
Frankly I wouldn't even have recalled it or found reason to mention it if Dusty didn't bring it up himself, and any potential buyers shouldn't worry about it whatsoever. It's not like I would always expect someone who sells a part of a multi-tourney package to make every tourney 100% as real life does happen and as long as it's sorted out quickly with solid communication it's a non issue obviously.
Sorry about the mini essay, just wanted to be clear that Dusty shouldn't have felt bad and it was a completely reasonable/understandable situation given the large schedule -- we quickly adjusted what I owed/he owed and it was resolved easily.
Buy his action! |

Thanks! That's one vote of confidence I'm happy about.
Oh, and I'm not on skype for a few days in case someone tries that. |
