Just busted out of the Unibet open. My first table was reeeeally soft. A bunch of singers/acters that was sponsored by Unibet and the rest didnt play good at all (except pinball maybe).

I got my stack up a couple of k before I managed to raise an utg limp with 33. Flop came KK3 and utg had AK so I doubled up pretty early. Then my table broke up and I was moved to a pretty bad table (from my point of view) with two really aggressive guys to my left.

I barely sat down before we were moved to the feature table with cameras and all. Guess I didnt bring much value for the viewers. I was so complete carddead its unbelievable. For hours I coudnt even find 96s to play with. It was pretty annoying. What was worse was that the 2 guys to my left 3b like everytime I went into the pot so it was very hard to steal (even when I was so tight!).

Well, even if I was caraddead I managed to steal atleast some and double barrel through the levels so I had just under average stack when my final hand came. I had about 18k (blinds 200/400/50, soon going up). I raise KK in mp, aggressive guy 3b me, I made some theatre and I knew he thought I was tired of his 3b, so I just pushed AI. I called with JJ and he obviously spiked a J on the flop. Good night and goodbye...

Well it was fun even if I had hoped it would last longer. The value was insanely good so I might do some more of these. Will try to find dusty and pinball now, they are in some dumbass suburb somewhere, drinking and singing careokee.. GL all LP:ers that are still in the tournament!

As I hinted in my previous post I started playing some at Noble Poker last week. I am however disapointed at the software so I havnt payed too much attention on the players. Obviously that cant go very well Recently I have played pretty bad at Full Tilt too so I am down a fair bit this month.

On the positive side is that I am now in Prague to play Unibet Open. Except that pinball and I cant connect both our laptops at the same time (due to that you must have a 1 meter cable plugged in to get internet) it is a nice hotel with good food and good service. I will be playing day 1b tomorrow and my first goal will be to come through that alive! Will update and stuff how it goes..

Cheers!

What do you guys know about Noble Poker? I know its the ipoker network but not much more..
I got a proposition that I could get 70% RB during September and 55% permanent so I thought about checking it out. What do you think?

RB + bonus: 850$
Live: -1200$
Total: about 11500$

What´s happened this month:
[x] I have improved my game a lot, especially my deep game.
[x] I have no fear at all for the money at this level
[x] I have no fear for my opponents (except a handful of good regs)
[ ] I am not loosing a lot of money in non-SD situations

All in all I can say it has been a really nice month. I have played decent (except for today maybe) where I´ve found a lot of situations to VB in and spots where I can abuse players. Its nice to finally be a NL400 reg!


My plan for September is to continue playing/running good at NL400 until the 17th when I am going with dusty, pinball etc to Prague to play the Unibet Open. This will be my first big live tournament so I am excited about that! I am really hoping to see some of you there!
I will also try to put in some more hands in September then this month..

Another goal for September will be to have a large enough bankroll to start taking shots at NL600. If I play as good as I am right now I feel I have a decent chance for it to be successful!

GL everyone in September!

Phil Galfond wrote down so many truths in here I had to post it. Most of them are old truths but they are none the less worth reading again.. Its also interesting to read how highstakes players think in certain areas..

I normally like going away on trips and stuff. But this summer I have done that too much. Tomorrow is time for another one On the schedule is a bachelor party, a wedding, some days on a lonely island and some other stuff, things away from a computer.. hate vacation! (but love my friends so what can I do..)

I know I will have time to grind this autumn but when things are going well I want to continue the good streak. Well.. atleast I can be glad Im up more then last month..

I dont think I have been running this good in a long time. Quite the opposite from my live games this weekend. I won 25BB/100 during the last session (about 3k) and my only regret is that I didnt play better. With my card distribution I should be winning 35bb/100 For example I hit so many sets I even missed value from them (my opponents ofc hit worse sets or 2 pair etc).

One other thing I did bad was that I became somewhat passive at one table where 4 of us where 400bb+ deep. I missed a lot of value there and I must work on that. Next task for me: Improve my deep game!

It was also a long time since the games were this soft.. there was almost a complete idiot at every table that wanted to donate money. Its always nice not only to feel that you are much better then your opponents, also to get cards that match perfectly with their range.

I really hope this good streak continues!

WARNING: this blog entry might contain ribberish about bad beats and rigged live play. Read at own risk.

So I am in Gothenburg now with cousin and we decided to test the casino here. In an earlier post I have said that 2/5 in Vegas almost was as soft as Swedens 20/20. I think I have to take that back!

The night started out as it should. 4 people limp, I raise and everyone folds. 50 times in a row :-) I think I doubled my stack the first hour in only raising pre and CB! I played around 60/55/4 and completely destroyed the table. Nobody even tried to do anything :-P It was really crazy how much value it was.

Then something happened. It all started when I lost a decent size pot with ATv AJ on a AA5ss72 board. I couldnt win one hand the worst might be when utg raised (first time in 3 hours so I put him only on AA/KK) I call with 99, so does button and SB. Flop comes Jh9h8x. Utg bets, I raise and then button sits and swears for 3 min and finally shoves. Utg then swears and finally folds (KK he said). I call, button shows AJ ("thought I was bluffing"). He is rewarded with turn 8, river J.

Then a strange hand came. A pretty good player 3b from SB very big, since I didnt know what to make of it I call with AdQd. Flop comes 9c7d6c. He instabets something weird so thought he was completely empty and call. River is 2d and he puts me AI for like 3k. I almost followed my plan and get it in. But then my stupid-gay-idiot brain started rabbling about that he wouldnt be stupid enough to do this as a bluff (dusty you know what Im talking about). So I finally fold and he shows ATo, having 5 outs against me.

That almost started tilting me. But not really, I think I am healed from that! :-)
I won some more $$ at pawning the table before my final big pot for the night. I raise utg w KK, button squeeze and we see a flop of K62r, get it in and his AA spikes an A on the turn. I didnt want to reload at that time and got my last 1/2 stack w 2pair+flushdraw and lost against a straightdraw.. Why not?

To summarize it: value is crazy but bring the lucky boots if you want to win!
(ps. Promise not to whine in a while! :-P ds.)
