Ok, so i got featured blog thingy here on LP, and have been thinking of writing something up for some time now on how things are in asia etc, lifewise/pokerwise.
ill start off with the bad news, im kinda busto, it all happened really fast frmo me haveing alot of bad shots/bad months before i went on the trip, and then in bali me and my travelingfriend (good player atleast same caliber as myself) decided to share profits and just mass volume, just to keep both from us from playing the same tables + taking more fish/less variance etc
but it was doomed, he went on the biggest downswing ever, and after losing a ton of money we kinda decided to just stop the company because it made both of us feel very stressed since my roll wasnt as big anymore + him loseing so much he felt like crap and played worse by it aswell, so i had to ship him like 50%+ of my roll
and after that i just kinda didnt have the diciplin to move down stakes/been running bad at the good higher games vs big fish + spending a ton of money on the trip/hotels/roomservice etc etc ballin etc
so what are my options? well, first off i paniced and deposited like my "last" 8k$ i could spare on ongame to 14 table 1/2$ and did that for a couple of days, and it went fine, i played well and were running at 7bb/100 over 15k hands
then daut contacted me and we talked it all over and i got a nutstake from him basically on stars, wich is supergood for me atm since im in thailand, and the EU sites dosnt run many games daytime anyways, on stars i can play 24/7 and now being on stake i can continue liveing my life as normal for the rest of the trip without any risks
so ull see me in the starsgames for quite some time probably 
ive been fortunate enough to catch a decent heater in the beginning since regs arent used to playing smoe1 playing as loose and wierd as me they are just spazzing off money to me basically
results so far since stake:
been playing 2/4-5/10 and trying to get deep tables going, with bad results, no one wants to play, but i got action by a bad reg (Faiv) today HU on 3/6 deep and ended up taking 4.5k from him on 1 table so that was sweet
hopefully can get more deep games going in the future, but my 100bb game feels pretty good atm aswell
anyways, even if this stake wouldnt work out, i would instaget good stakedeals/burrows from friends as soon as i get home to grind my bread and butter swedishsitegames, but for now, me and my traveling partner both share that site + that im alittle busto now getting this stake on stars by daut is supersupergood, im very happy for it <3 much love man
over to the traveling, we started off spending 2 weeks in Bali but the internet was supercrappy there so we went to phuket in thailand instead and have been here for about 3 weeks now, the first week or so we stayed at 5star serenity hotel, (following the advice roman on LP gave me in my prev blogpost and as he said the internet there was good)
but we left it due to its high expences with roomservice etcetc and have now found a supernice appartment a bit outside patong.
its 1/3 as cheap, and double the space and very fresh, and we got a gym/pool etc close to everything so its a nutplace really happy we got it.
we moved in here december first and will be staying here until february 1st, wich is when i probably will be going hmoe to sweden again (i miss all my friends  )
anyways, TLDR to the pics shall we!
(the first grindstation (only place where internet worked alittle bit ~0.3mbit/sec at our first hotel)
(me gayposeing at kutabeach at sunset, still Bali)
(switching hotel to a nicer one, called the Radiant, some decent priced 4 star that promised high speed internet, they did not have but could grind at some hours, but very unstable, but got in decent volume)
(radiant were very nice tho, and felt like we were the only ones liveing there, had some pretty sweet shroom trips on that hotel  very beautiful and relaxing place)
(most random thing ever hanging outside of the restaurant at radiant, rofl thread material almost, epic)
(i also bought a guitar wich was a great idea, havent played much at all the last years (played since i was 7 and probably where better when i was 11 then i am now, but its nice to have something else to grind then the pokers, learned how to play hotelcalifornia and stairway to heaven so far, close to the original versions, but had to do some deviations from it to be able to multitask enough to get the lyrics right aswell, especially on hotel california, but feels good to started up the musica again!)
(visited a sick temple in the jungle/mountains of bali wich was pretty intresting, my traveling partner on pic)
(we also drove by some village up in the jungle and looked at a volcano, (behind me, yes me on pic))
(on our way to thailand, sign got my attention, "fisk" means fish in swedish lol)
(insta started the grind for about 12 hours in a row as soon as we got to the hotel in phuket lol, finally good stable internet again)
(me giveing the moment an thumbs up sign of approval)
(went out on a "date" with one of the waitresses, very cute and smart girl, decent english and not some random hooker so thats nice, have met her a couple of times since, shes nice but probably in love with me wich sux balls to kinda have to break her heart as i go home)
(view from the hotel, pretty nice, and the tidewater goes all the way up at night)
(enterence to our appartmentbuilding the hindu god ganesha, "for good luck and fortune, protector of bad luck" wich was a great sign pokerwise i guess)
a couple of appartmentpics to come:
(have to share bed with my partener in crime for a month more, get a 2 bed roomer in january lol, gonna be so nice to finally not have some dudes ass in ur face when u wake up)
a couple of days ago we did a trip to ko lanta (outside of phi phi island, google for more sickness) to just relax and get away frmo the grind for a while and smoke some weed etc
as for the trip overall, we havent done much drugs/partying overall, we wanted this to be a healthy grindtrip, and its been awesome so far, have been working out 5 times/week following a great workoutprogram for 3 weeks now and it feels great, have been gaining about 20kg since i started playing poker, so it feels great getting back in shape again
have lost about 7kg so far, asia is the nuts for loseing weight, and have been already after 3 weeks been getting alot of great results from the training so everything feels wonderful
will schock ppl as i get hmoe in 6 weeks all negro and ripped
everything is gold except for the unfortunate bust, but thats kinda how i roll, i lost a big part on ongame taking a 25/50 and 50/100$ shot, and after that just kinda had bad timeings and some stupidity i guess.
but im superglad the stake have been starting off well, will be back in no time for sure!
hope everything is well and that it was a (y) read for the guys who read it all, ty for reading see ya soon and keep checking in on my hands in the handsection for some entertaining standard swedishness

ye <3 daut
as for the workouts i do i do
2 times a week cardio, very intense no break between 3-5 different back to back 20sec exercises, then rest 90sec, and repeat ~ 10 times
and then the 3 other workouts are fullbody mostly focusing on upperbody, since i do alot of high intense legtraining on my cardio
(like jumptraining with weights, squats etc etc)
i feel so much better already after 3 weeks, every1 should get into working out asap, its been very rough but now its almost fun to go there, getting all pumped up from seeing the results so quickly
and obviously the thaifood is sooooo good and healthy, so nice to eat good healthy food without makeing it urself lol, makes it easier to get in shape for sure

Thats rough man, Ive also practically busted my stars roll by playing 25/50 and higher while being grossly underrolled and not knowing when to move down. gl with the stake but also there is no shame in grinding it back up from lower limits :D |

nope, but he might join us, (no joke, one of sebs best friends shares alot of action and have known viktor for many years, aswell as seb they lived together for a while the 3 of them, and sebs friend told us the other day that him and viktor might join us in thai in january, but probably not since they are laazy bastards)

sleeping 2 dudes in a bed can't be good for the grind lol but nice pwnage of the Faiv |

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

living with isildur might be a problem when you pickup PLO again, and inevitably move up and bust him

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |
