Put up a rather conservative stop loss but other then that I'm aiming for 10 hours of (effective) poker today, breaks for food, toilette thingys and de-tilting acceptable assuming they're no longer then 20 minutes and no more then 3. Aiming to start at 1300 CET+1 and have it done before midnight. Hopefully I'll get 7 or 8k hands in if I don't hit my stop loss.
If I hit 7k hands I'm happy, 10k and I'm really glad.
What big trustworthy sites outside of the prima network have some decent PLO action and good service/rakeback?
Unibet has the most retarded new system in the history of online poker and my bonus offers actually loses in value if I rake more then something like 5k/month so I need somewhere else to do some grinding.
Preferably not ongame, and it has to be a big skin. No small crap that will go bust tommorow.
Having a good month so far poker wise, and I'm going to Malta with my wonderful gf tomorrow.
If anyone wants to hang out on Malta shot me a PM or msg me on facebook (facebook prefered due to the fact that I won't check LP after tonight for a while).
If anyone who plays PLO wants to discuss hands and crap shoot me a PM, preferably people who plays 1/2+ or something. I think my fundamentals might suck.
Had a 5 fig day yesterday. That was nice, first one in a while. Got an eye infection that have kept me away from BJJ a week or so and then a cold that's messing with me a fair bit. I've read a decent bit and school is still going really well so I guess overall I'm ok with this month, even though some of my goals went down the drain. But I'm happy that I'm doing well overall in life and still manage to put in a decent amount of hands. Not any huge numbers in profit or hands, but still semi-solid so far.
New roomie is awesome, <3. Me and the gf is talking about adopting him.
Really looking forward to the next UFC event, Alexander Gustafsson, Swedens great hope in MMA, is fighting James Te-Huna in a fight that'll probably be a lot of fun and end with a highlight real knock out. The other fights seems cool too, assuming BJ manage to stand a little bit with Fitch rather then getting dry humped for 3 rounds. I think Gustafsson will be top10 material within 2-3 years, the guy has sick stand up, seems to have a lot of power and is just getting stronger. Dunno if he'll fight in light heavyweight for the rest of his carrier or if he has to move up, but still.
Nick "oh-you-de-ent" Ring fights in his first fight back from knee surgery. That might be fun.
Got 5000 SEK (just over 500€) on Shugan Rua to fuck up Jon Jones next month. 500 to win 1300 or so I think, I might try to put more down.
Gf is asleep and I it'd be weird if roomie was in same room as sleeping and very scantly dressed GF but I still want a rail. I'm 6/10 in primas 100k grtd. 25k€ for first.
4 out of 4 suckouts when allin for tournament life so far. Gf is probably a lucky charm. As if I needed on to begin with
My (former) room mate moved out yesterday. Within 24 hours I got a girlfriend. The thing I said about him being the worst wing man in history seems to hold true.

My friend Patrik who just took his law degree and started working a couple of weeks ago was back in the city this weekend. He, my other friend Ramin and another guy named Erik decided that we'd get some drinking done. Patrik and I got started with a few bottles of wine and a bunch of beers fairly early and later Erik and Ramin joined up for a couple of burgers and yet another bottle of wine (or maybe 3).
We laughed, we drank and we listed to music. We went to a bar and had a few drinks and then to another bar when the first one closed. At some point I got very drunk and decided to take a walk home. When I got to bed, like 3 am in the morning, Patrik calls and asks me where I am and if he can sleep at my place. I say that that's cool and that he can just call me when he's at the door.
The problem is that by now I've undressed. When he calls I'm drunk as hell and in only underwear and I decide that "fuck it, I can open the door like this". Mostly because I can't be bothered to locate pants. This would've worked out fine if it wasn't for the fact that a young couple also was at the front door of the apartment complex. They seemed slightly bothered by the sight of a half naked dude twice their size who tried to open the door, drunk as hell. Patrik laughed his ass off.
Other then that poker is going decent, BJJ ok and except for the fact that I've been eating badly the last few days I'd have to say that I'm very happy with how February has started.
So a friend of mine needs some income. He's really smart and probably fairly level headed when it comes to these things. Knows very little about poker except the rules of hold'em. Reasonable math skills and good deductive skills. Doesn't have to be a high hourly, but it'd be cool if he could make like 10 bux/hour or so fairly fast. Obviously I'd have to teach him some stuff but overall I'd like it to be as simple as possible. Any ideas?
Ok, so I've decided to put January in the books. My profit isn't great by any means but it's ok. Still more then twice what my parents does toghter, lol. Poker makes weird things to your perception of money. I've played pretty low and after two losing months it always feels good to turn it around. As far as the goals I put up goes I'd say I did so-so as poker goes. I put in the right volume, but not the right quality. I've started coaching a little bit and even though I havn't really got the hang of it yet it's ok. Slow but steady. I haven't watched enough poker videos, mostly due to some problems with my Bluefire subscription. I should probably fix the last part this weekend and the take steps to organise my life a little better.
Also I tend to see the girl I'm seeing right now for to many hours at a time. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that she's both fairly pretty and smarter then me. It's weird to actually have a conversation with a girl about anything remotely interesting (ie: not feelings) and stuff I actually have some use for in my every day life. It's fucking up my sleeping schedule even worse then poker though so I'll need to fix that.
As for the other goals I've started talking more to some interesting people, I've read two and a half book (but all by Pratchett ) and I haven't done enough BJJ. Investing is going semi-decent though, and I've been taking a lot of long ass walks and eating fairly clean. I'm down to something like 87-88kg from the 90 I started at in the beginning of the month so that's nice. I've also done reasonably well in school and managed to clean up my e-mail, rrs and facebook account a little bit so that I don't spend half the day figuring that shit out.
Overall I'll say it's been a very interesting and fairly productive month despite the fact that I've underperformed slightly. My plans for February would be to get my sleeping under control, figure out a good way to get a few hours of poker in most days without playing to bad and getting my bluefire account active again. I also hope to get a lot of BJJ in, I really start to feel that it's fun again.
And yea, I know that sounds harsh and it's probably not true but I really got annoyed with people a few days ago. I have this "buddy" whom I've known for a very long time and been somewhat close too. He's never been the kind of guy I've trusted with important emotional shit really, but still someone I'd hung out with more then almost anyone else for a lot of years. I was ranting to him about how I considered one of the girls he knows a piece of crap for apparently having cheated on some guy and stated that I found it appalling how his other friend always made jokes about cheating on people in a way I considered more then a little bit offensive. I've got nothing against sexual promiscuously at all (fuck, my favourite book is "Stranger in a Strange Land"), and I don't mind people joking about pretty much anything unless the situation calls for some class, but cheating on people just plain sucks.
Instead of the usual nod and "yea yea, that sucks man" I assumed I'd get as a reply he says something about how her bf apparently wasn't used to being in relationships and didn't really put up enough of an effort in some areas and then he goes quiet. I decided to shut up since I did recognize that it was probably in poor taste to question someone's friend's moral character without knowing all the facts.
At a party for my buddy a few days later some girls are joking about how they all slept with him and someone makes a "funny remark" about how he's so weird and why did they sleep with him. One of them says that "yea well, back in blablabla I used to love him a little bit". I'm slightly intoxicated but something feels weird. Then it dawns on me that he had a long time gf at the time, so I joke right back about that. I still don't really know if I believe it but three people, two girls he's slept with and his own brother, stated more or less that he did cheat on this girl. I never really got to know her, and as far as I can remember I thought fairly poorly about her, but it still just sucks.
I guess I should just leave it alone, because I don't care enough about him to actually feel that it's super important that he knows when I don't approve of shit, and in a month or 6 weeks I won't spend as much time with him any more for various reasons I can't do much about. I've done a lot of less then honourable things. I once slept with a fat chick and jumped out of her window while she was sleeping. At one point I kept sleeping with some girl just because "she'll leave the country soon, so I don't have to worry about it". I'm fairly sure I hurt one girl, even though I for the life of me can not figure out how (she was from another country and I think it was a cultural thing). But as far as relationships goes I've never hurt someone other then by mistake. And during the sorts spans when I've been in relationships, I've never cheated.
But on the other hand there's a lot of beautiful things in the world. I guess I should focus on that.
