High quality striking which is really nice to see since some people seems to think that Silva and Machida is actually world class strikers . They're obviously great and all but in the pure striking department the small K1-guys are really crazy. That's just some mighty fast hands :/
And on the fighting note; Overeem looked like a total monster at the weight ins vs James Thompson and the fight lasted about as long as you can imagine. Can't wait to see him fight Fedor. Can't imagine anyone actually beating that Russian dude but vs Overeem I'd imagine it'd be one hell of a fight. Overeem is really strong, really big and has very good stand up so Fedor would probably have to get him to the ground unless he wants a really close, and possibly losing, fight. I know Fedor is crazy strong and everything, but Overeem makes Lesnar look like a fat American beer-drinking and TV-watching fuck rather then the monster he is in his own right.
Anyway; War Übereem!
Poker
Next month I'll have a ton of school stuff. Mostly really interesting things so I'll try to like open up my mind and get wise and profound and all that stuff. I'll also be social with non-poker player and non-druggies a lot more then the last few months, which will be very nice. I don't think I'll get to play too much poker, but I'll play some live (Iop got me interested in some kind of team poker challenge in sthlm), I'll try to get in like 6-7 real long mid stakes sessions (5k hands) and then mostly play whatever I feel like. However, I will try to put school first since; A. It's interesting and B. I've played so much poker it's ridiculous.
This month I've played close to 90k hands, made a okish profit but since I've raked like a mad man my rakeback will be about twice what I'm used to which should give me something in the neighbourhood of 30k€ in total profit. Not the greatest month ever, but really solid and that's pretty much what I was looking for considering how I actually lost a little last month and won't have that much time to grind in November. Also learned a bit, I'm much less of a Omaha fish now then when I begun the month (and it only cost me like 10k or so!) and I got my head on straight about one hold'em concept I had kinda forgotten thanks to something Ansky said in a training video. Think I got a little bit to passive in some spots before trying to play "perfect" and such. Now I'm back to blind aggression as my go to solution for problematic and close spots.
Other stuff
Will go and see Zombieland tommorow with some friends. Think that movie might be the best one this year. Woody Harrelson is crazy good in everything he does.
Shogun is the true LHW champion. Machida will probably make a better fight in the rematch though.
oh, and someone wrote something about the Queen song Another one Bites the Dust in some hand I posted or something (can't find it now) so now I put that on everytime I stack someone.
