As i got back home from this winters asiatrip i got a cold and have been sick this whole year basically (100 day curse from hell). But i seem to start getting rid of it, finally! have been missing a couple of weeks workout so gonna compensate that by joining my partner in crime in thailand again for some training and chilling.
Its still semicold here in northeren sweden, the snow just melted away and its only topping at +10 degrees so im not missing out much on the spring in sweden. For this trip i plan only to be away 3-4weeks and get back home to a swedish summer and eurocup 2012 (go sweden yey we made the qualification) wich i look forward to alot, gonna be an epic summer hopefully!
Muay thai training camp!
The place we are gonna train at is located in phuket, 15min taxi from patong and is supposed to be one of thailands best trainingcamps
( http://www.tigermuaythai.com/ ) the goal is to do 2 workous/day for the whole month. gonna be really nice to get back to working out again and try some muay thai. have been interested in starting some sort of mma:ish training for a while now and living nearby the campsite (2 min walk from hotel according to my friend that already is there since a couple of days ago) and go there everyday to book privatelessons aswell as grouptraining is gonna be a nice push to get into more intense workouts (still have sucky cardio). also doing it all with a friend is gonna help for motivation etc too.
heres alittle videotour on the camp
booked flight next monday, may 14th and will go back in beginning of june.
Poker
As for poker i feel i need this aswell, have been downswonging some lately on 25/50$ shots as some of u guys know already and im back down to grinding out 5/10 and hopefully 10/20 again soon enough and i feel i lack motivation in grinding when i cant split up my roll as much with not to many games running most of the time, i did the classic longplemistake wasteing almost all of my $'sl on shots last couple of months playing both SH and mutlitable HU games at the same time and im gonna look to only play SH next time i take shots as the swings in HU is just to great for me to take shots in it without feeling bad when failing, unless i wanna grind up a million BI roll on 5/10 10/20 beforehand. (wich i will kinda try to do for next shots aswell)
allthough i feel that ive played my best poker during these shots and ive gotten a decent amount of volume in during march/april on 25/50$ and i know that i beat those games and most of those guys, its just a matter of time and dicipline and better running
as for recovery ive played some 2/4-5/10€ games alongside with the swedish site svenskaspel as those games are very faimliar to me even tho it rarely runs to many games, but some evenings u can get 4-5 25/50sek games running and maybe even some 50/100sek (4/8$ and 8/16$) but most nights ur stuck playing 2 tables or so.
i have trouble to put in as much volume as i would like to after busting both my stars and ongame roll + getting easily bored/annoyed still after wasteing so much that i cant even take 10/20$ games anymore on the networks that id like to, stars/ongame etc. so going to thailand focusing more on health again and less grind will hopefully get me a refreshed mindset on grinding my way back again (even tho ive been doing well recovering so far)
April results:
peaked at +120k$ in beginning of april but ended up down 50k$ or so total
$ sites:
SEK:
also lost 10k$ live + some in stakeing/% buys etc etc
The 120k$ profit heater in the start of the month was all <25/50$ and down, kind of a repeat of march ^^ heater up 100k$ on <25/50 and wasteing all profits there, boom!
Busted stars and ongameroll due to takeing the shot to far left me with less options, started a small roll going on a € site at the end of april and have been doing good there, playing 2/4-5/10€
The plan
so the plan is to obviously continue grinding in thai, at a more chillaxed rate, take some games here and there but basically only take soft games and not worry about it to much, because i still feel like playing higher then i should, and thats, as Daut putted it: BAD LONGPLE, BAD! And when i get back im gonna be pumped to play again and hopefully by then ive won some more on the € site so i can get a starsroll going again and be more motivated in putting volume on 5/10 10/20, and soon ill attack them 25/50$ games again, but with a little better approach next time
Gay stuff
friend linked me this video, its all gay etc etc but it was still a nice motivational video imo and it made me alittle happier inside
now ive been laying on my couch snoring all over the place for to long, its time to get back on the regiment!
Ive felt alittle bad after promesing a video with commentary and then not delivering. Makeing the poll and all so i decided today as i woke up i had enough energy makeing one. So i just just recorded a video with commentary and as im rendering the project im writing this blog + cooking lunch.
its a live recording, just ranting and babbeling mostly but there are some interesting spots and i run like jesus (still) and win alot in the video, so atleast there is alot of big pots, lol
I talk about it some in the video, but i had this chat about life with Andrew, Highcard (on lp) for 4-5 hours or so last night and i told him that LP support really helped me gain enough confidence to move up to 5/10+ and just feel confident in those games, and i really do, i see nothing stopping me now, i have yet alot to learn, im not a perfect player or anything but i think i can do it, and thats thanks to all the attention ive gotten from LP. so thank you guys
I took myself completely on my own, playing my own wierd style from NL10 to NL400 but i kept failing at the 5/10 shots. About a year ago or so i posted my big post about how i got a good winrate on midstakes, and thats when it all started basically. The support and appriciation i got from that post from LP was sick, and i went up to 5/10 and started crushing a during that time, and by the 2nd half of 2011 i was takeing 10/20 and even some higher games then that, doing well and then busting on 25/50 50/100$ shots and other retarded stuff, u can read about that in older blogs if interested. (lol random combo breaker in my speech right there ), but now im back, and already im takeing 25/50$ shots again and im pretty sure im there to stay this time around, im not gonna make the same misstake again.
So LP helped me in that way, and after getting the greenstar and a ton of people responding to everything i post has given me that extra confidence i think i really needed. So this video is for you guys!
enjoy! DL VIDEO HERE: https://rapidshare.com/files/2240865890/ongamevideo.wmv
Its just sad LP kinda is dying, but ill do my best to keep it alive, we are still a decent group of people posting here regulary so lets go on for atleast a couple of more years!
as for life, got some issues atm irl but running well at poker and doing fun things IRL is really helping out alot, working out 4 times a week now with a close buddy, really love that ive taken up training and getting fitter/healthier. i really recommend all of you doing the same. get that laazy ass moveing.
And oh yeah i also finished up my tattoo last week, it hurt like fuck, 9 hours total of pure pain but im very happy with the results, what do u guys think?
So as i told ket and wrote in some thread also is that i took water over my head promiseing full commentary on the video, but i tryed for a couple of hours at different times but it just turned out bad. there was just too many hands all over the place and i didnt really remeber much i was thinking + i got slaughtered, and commenting on HU is so wierd because alot is based on leveling and gameflowfeel for me, and it just got to hard.
But i uploaded the video anyways, u can download it here:
as for life and poker, february was great, i made over 100k$ own money in february, about 30k of them at the livegames in stockholms casino cosmopol livegames, mostly playing 10/10$ ish and 20/20$ ish stakes deep. was fun
for the 3k$ live tourney during the eventweek at the end of feb i semibubbled it at 16th with 99 vs QJs all in pre 25bb deep or so, out of 70 ppl or something, small tourney but took like 20 hours until i busted for no score at all zzzz always anoying
They made some interview with me during that week, svenskaspel the site ive played alot of highstakes on the last year+ or so they somehow recognized me as a svenskaspel HS player so they approached me and asked me if i was longple on svenskaspel and if i wanted to answer some questions in their pokershow "pokerstudion"
so for the swedes, + if u guys wanna look how i look like or sound like or what ever>>>>
you can find the interview with me here starting at 9:40:
i just have to say that its pretty funny because i dont say anything smart in the video at all, for example she asks me whats most fascinateing with poker and i think for 30 sek and answer "its fun" + Show Spoiler +
started takeing some 10/20$ shots on stars, the deepgames are really fun to play, battled some with our own wobbly_au the other day and it got pretty interesting. u can find some of the hands from the last couple sessions of 10/20 in my hand section if interested.
anyways, not much more to say, feel kinda sad have some girldramatrouble irl atm so im not looking to play to much in march probably, just dont wanna grind to much when feeling down.
hope some will find the video interesting, post comment below includeing what time in the video the hand approaches if u got any questions, and im gonna try and answer most of them as good as possible.
weed + this = true
take care keep check out my hands to the right as i will keep posting interesting ones :-)
