Everything packed, leaving for sweden alittle bit earlier then we planned, tomorrow, we payed for the apparment in phuket for january but me and my fellow (poker) travelingpartner got alot of homesickness + we got some very tragic news on chirstmas eve as we got back home to our room on ko lanta (paradise/weed island outside of phuket) and since then we just didnt feel the same about the trip.

About 5 swedish pokerplayers had tryed to contact us on xmas eve, and i called one of them up and e got the terrible news of that one of our traveling friends (swedish, maybe u heard about it on the news / on 2+2) whom we lived with for 3 weeks in bali was found dead on his hotelroom from a fire in the room.

We couldnt believe it, everything just stood still for a while and all i could think of was that we were jokeing on christmasmorning as we read the news in swedish newspaper "young man found dead on bali" and we were kinda laughing and saying "haha its probably "J" that sicko" or something along those lines....

Very intellectual, atletic, kind guy. Very successfull in everything basically, inclueding poker, achieved way more then myself pokerwise, and only at the age of 20. Pure talent

We were 4 ppl starting out together in bali, but the internet was so bad and me and my "main" traveling buddy felt the need to move to thailand (read older blog) to get better internet for grinding, while the other 2 were gonna stay for another 3-4 weeks or so and then join us for new years in koh pangang for the famous full moon party.

The 3rd person in the "group" joined up with us on dec 16 and stayed in our appartment for a couple of nights as he already had booked his flight to phuket, while "J" where staying on his own in bali for another week or so before joining up in thailand, and then this happends. On christmas.

So no fullmoonparty for any of us this year. The 3rd person who were very close with "J" insta booked his flight home, and we now feel kinda the same way. We were still planning on staying for another month, but the sadnews just made the homesickness to strong, we just wanna get back home. And i miss my friends and family so fkin much atm.

Sorry to bring this news to you all during these "happy" times of the year with new years comeing up and everything. But i wanted to write something about him.

All thoughts and love goes out to his closer friends and family.

Im not a believer, but if there is a heaven he sure deserves to go there.

Im happy i got the opportunity to get to know you

R.I.P - J <3


+ Show Spoiler +

to write something pokerrelated, the stake has been going well so far, havent been playing much the last week, obv, but overall its been a good month on the stake on stars, for the ones following me on PTR, its pretty off, so here is graph of the progress so far during these 90 hours of play this month, mostly been playing 2/4 and 3/6

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
