For the 3rd year in a row poker in December has been horrible. That kind of sucks but everything usually gets brighter when the new year starts.

Here's a few things I'm grateful for:

When I got signed by Bettingboys.com I got an idea about how to make really affordable group coaching possible and for the last week I've been getting people interested and so far I've got about 10 people in total for 3 or different groups. This will be very cheap and aimed mostly to people who plays fairly low, something like NL/PLO20 and up till 1/2.

My plan to begin with was to make 2 groups, one for omaha in Swedish and one in English. Due to much more demand then I thought I'll do it like this:

1. Omaha in Swedish - group coaching
2. Omaha in English - group coaching
3. A No Limit studygroup in English where we'll spend slightly more time on hand discussions and such relative to the amount of theory
4. NL in Swedish - group coaching

Depending on how many people who'll sign up this following week I might turn group 3 and 4 into one big group or do something cool with that in some other way. I did not actually think that I'd get so much requests for NL considering how I haven't played it very much the last year or so but apparently people feel that my poker mind is good enough so that they'll get a lot from picking it anyway. I got really excited when I found this out and decided that I'll get back to grinding both games actually just to learn it better so that I will not disappoint anyone. If anyone (only non-US, sorry ) wants to join just send me a PM and I'll get back to you at some point before New Years (but probably a lot sooner).

I'm really excited to try and teach some of the things I've learned in my 5+ years of online poker, not primarily theory and such (even though there'll be lots of that too!) but mostly stuff that has to do with the right mind set, the correct ways of thinking and such. I haven't really had much that I've been feeling super excited for in a while but this might be one of those things I'll get a lot of fulfilment from.

I'll also have a few other cool projects going on as their new "team pro"/blogger and if I find something with decent value I'll be sure to keep you posted.

2. It's Christmas. I get to listen to my Christmas play-list which I started with back in 09. http://open.spotify.com/user/dammk%c3%a4rlek/playlist/3yKzxdPWid5CqK0ei2h3OD

A girl I know from school made this list: http://open.spotify.com/track/4irEMjfTyWjZLDecbHaw1S I found it surprisingly well made.

3. Despite becoming a fat fuck (not to worry, I'll get back in the gym after X-mas. 2012 will be less hectic) I'm fairly healthy and no one in my family died or got seriously ill this year. That's a first one in a while.

I don't know how much I'll be at the computer during X-mas but I'll try to answer stuff as soon as I can.

Also: WAR KOREAN ZOMBIE!

Someone brought up an old game I played a long time ago called Skyroads:

As I contemplate typing this, I think to myself "how should I start this off?".

I would like to start by talking about my prior experience playing holdem. The town I live in is made up of 3 things: casinos, restaurants and more casinos. (Shreveport, LA) The main live game played is 1/2 and 2/4 no limit. I understand how a lot of the members of this site are well beyond 1/2 and 2/4 and consider them newbish games but I would that me a "fish" or a newby. I have played in more tournaments than i can count. Just simple 200 dollar buy-ins with about 60-70 people. A dream for some of you pros on here who would make an easy 2k.

During my poker time I had to go to Iraq for a year and have yet to get back into poker. I wasn't incredibly successful at 1/2 cash games breaking more even than winning. I won multiple tournaments somehow finding it easier to play and more strategic. I never wanted to play poker leisurely. I did my best to acquire the most knowledge of the game I could. I bought multiple books, went though and highlighted what i thought was consistent in all the books. I folded pages with good information and did my best to include the tips and tricks into my play.

Now that I decided to get back into the game I have been re-reading my books, trying to re-understand everything. I have the bank roll to play the 1/2 cash games but I don't want to have the same thing happen as last time. I don't want to come out breaking even, every once in awhile doubling my stack at 1/2. I am posting this looking for guidance and help. As I read these forums and browse through the threads you all seems to be very skilled players. I want to be like you guys. I want to view 1/2 as low limit and a game where the easy money is.

I was looking for guidance from you guys. Any help you could offer. Any thought of good material for 1/2 no limit? Any good threads you could refer me to? Any tips or play styles you guys could give to help me become a better player and finally surpass 1/2 and move up the ladder.

Thank you guys for reading this and I really want to become a great poker player and lose my fish mentality. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again guys!!

Contender for worst movie ever. ever. ever. I can't really get over how bad it was.

Nevertheless it has quite high ratings on rottentomatoes.com (94%) and imdb.com (7.9/10)

Anyone else seen it?

2 days after graduating from college, I received a phone call saying that I got a full time offer. I nearly crapped myself when they told me how much they were paying me. I never expected to get paid that much with a liberal arts degree (Statistics and Economics). My head is still spinning. All the dreams I had 2 years ago are coming true. I plan on playing live poker at the casino on the weekends to supplement my income from my job so that I can make more money and hopefully play in the big tournaments and also start saving for the future. I cant believe I can actually get to live my dreams. I am still not sure how to feel. I have not been this happy in the longest time.

Full time job and a part-time poker player, sounds really good.

EDIT - Ok, $52 K is what I am getting paid. That's why I nearly crapped myself.

Still up about 15k at tables for the month but can't think right now. I was sick for a good 4 day stretch and dont think i played much at all, was hanging out with a new person of interest here in vancouver as well during that time so combine those 2 and not a good recipe for the grind. Luckily I am all better now, the person of interest went back to states and now it is me back grinding 12 hour/20k vpp days for the rest of the month. 12 MORE DAYS, 12 MORE DAYS 12 MORE DAYS keep saying that its only 12 MORE DAYS lol w/e gridning is fun

I started using cannabis on a daily basis in early 2010. Before that I was a very casual user and had used at random times since I was 13 years old (parties, special occasions, etc). But as I realized that I could smoke at night, have a great time, and wake up in the morning, not only without a hangover, but also feeling more rested than when I didn’t smoke, I began to use more regularly since it wasn’t bringing anything negative to my life and was definitely adding a lot of positives. Fun times, good laughs, deeper connection and conversations with my wife, less stress, etc.

Today in 2011 I have been using on a daily basis for about 2 years. The only break I’ve taken over the last two years is for a week while visiting family on the east coast during Christmas. Last year I made the journey, wondering if I would feel any sort of withdrawal symptoms. I never had before, but I also had never smoked daily for a year straight, so I didn’t know what to expect. According to the government, I was in for a hard time of:

• Sweating
• Sleeplessness
• Anxiety
• Drug craving
• Nausea
• Anger and Irritability
• Headaches
• Loss of appetite

I landed on the east coast and the week passed uneventfully. The first 24 hours without cannabis resulted in a slight headache. That was it. I returned home and began my routine of daily use again, and maintained it until now. Here I sit again on the east coast, and yet again, the only “symptom” I’ve had is the occasional headache which fades quickly, especially if I do some yoga or distract my mind through something as simple as watching TV. I wondered whether maybe one year of daily use wasn’t enough to draw out symptoms, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Despite the fact that over the last year I have increased the frequency and quantity which I smoke, no withdrawal symptoms have found their way into my vacation beyond that headache, which I’d rank at about a three on a scale of 1-5, and which only lasts for a few minutes if I don’t take any action to reduce it via Yoga, etc.

I am only one person, and I am in great physical shape (the best of my life, better than when I was on the starting lineup on offense and defense for my high school football team), and I have a loving family, fantastic wife, and a lot of psychological stability and strength. I’m sure those all help reduce any potential withdrawal symptoms. My guess is that the hardest part of quitting daily cannabis use for most people is the psychological dependence, just like it’s tough to stop daily Starcraft use when you absolutely love it. I entered this week without weed “cold turkey”, and even though I have an edible in my bag which I could take at anytime to get high, I haven’t even thought about it until I started writing this post.

So I’m here to tell you that after daily use for two years (minus that one week I took off during last year’s holidays), the symptoms have been extremely mild and basically no different than if I drank a bunch of soda and neglected water for a day or two. On top of that, I began daily use in 2010 before returning to college, and over the last 2 years I’ve completed 4 semesters and received straight A’s in all of my classes, made the dean’s list, received several scholarships including the most prestigious one awarded by the psychology department (which is my major), taken leadership roles in multiple clubs and established good friendships with about a dozen professors and university administrators. In other words, the daily use, and even heavy daily use of the past year, hasn’t ruined my life. On the contrary, I have no doubt that it has made my life better. My physical health and immune system are at my lifetime peak, my creative thinking and problem solving has improved dramatically, my memory is better than at any time in my life, and my relationships with friends and family are deeper and more fulfilling than I ever knew possible. Cannabis didn’t cause all of these things to happen on its own, but it definitely helped them to be possible, either through the psychological changes it helped produce (reduced stress, creative thinking, open mindedness, empathy, and increased laughter and joy) or through the healing effects it provided, as cannabis has been used as a medicine for over 200 ailments over thousands of years.

The most important lesson I’ve learned about how to use cannabis in a way that improves one’s life is to use responsibly. I often use a vaporizer to protect my lungs from inhaling burnt plant matter, and avoid joints and pipes as much as possible, preferring a water pipe if I don’t vaporize. I don’t get up and smoke a bowl and go to class. I wait till my work for the day is done and then I smoke. But there are tasks I can do very efficiently while high – cleaning the house, watching and learning from TED talks, running basic errands. As tolerance develops and a person moves from acute to chronic use, the effects of cannabis change, and the body and mind learn how to compensate, allowing a chronic user to complete tasks while high that an acute user would find difficult. For example, playing a game of Starcraft. As an acute (occasional) user I had a lot of trouble playing SC2 while high – as a chronic user that difficulty has disappeared. So it’s important to be self aware and disciplined, and to make sure that you are using responsibly, which means that your use doesn’t get in the way of achieving the things you must get done.

There are many myths about cannabis which have been debunked for years, but the mainstream culture hasn’t caught on to the truth yet due to continued government propaganda. I’m writing this post because I hate lies, I hate injustice, and I hate being manipulated or watching others manipulated by corrupt, greedy, or morally zealous people in power. A shift is coming and 75 years of lies are finally starting to crumble. I hope that this post can help push that shift right along.


PS - There is no doubt that some people do have withdrawal symptoms, but that is a small minority of users and only seems to happen to long term heavy users. The vast majority of people will have no withdrawal symptoms or very minor ones like what I experienced. Some people have addictive personalities or are bio-chemically different in a way that makes them susceptible to addiction. Those people should be very careful about what they put in their body.

Or almost at least. I'm a blogger and "team pro member" over at Bettingboys. That feels pretty cool. It's in Swedish now but I'll try to get a text or two togheter in English too.

Just watched this documentary and it really is an amazing masterpiece. Revolves around the topics of collective and individual consciousness, ancient forgotten history, universal rights,the universe and stuff of that nature. One of the best movies I've watched. A real masterpiece!

Sure it must've happened to everyone who makes $$ from poker, the moment where you just go "oh I know what to do"

After using all my luck getting a really good job even though I dropped out of uni (Investment banking job with no degree, Be less than 0.1% of people in these jobs that don't have degrees) and being insanely busy I closed all my online accounts for a minimum of 6months so I work hard and don't get distracted.

3months later, I got bored and opened a pokerstars france account.
Deposited around 100 euro donking about stupidly, was down to 3euro. Enter a turbo MTT, ship 44 AI first hand vs KK. Spike a 4. Cash for 20euro, AA gets cracked later on for massive pot. But can't complain. So i take my 20euro to 9max turbo sit and go's -

http://i39.tinypic.com/10i5noo.jpg

(Euros not dollars) And I win 20 euros on battle of planets. + 30 euros rakeback (1st deposit bonus's as well)

Not too keen to move to the 3euro SnG's (variance with 30buyins when I 20 table is uncopable) i move to 2nl - 1k hands 1 euro winnings

Move upto NL5 -

http://i43.tinypic.com/21az7ua.jpg

God mode activated, 18.3bb/100 over 12k hands. Last 2k hands are NL10 (20bb/100)

Jump between NL5 and Nl10 is much much bigger than I expected, 3bet lights are so so so more common. The analogy of "it's micros they can have any 2 cards" is long long dead (Until zynga poker arrives!)

Again I have a horrible sinking red line, the result of 15-24 tabling. But a blue line that goes double the other way is worth it. Not too sure if you can have a + red line at these stakes, very hard to force people to lay down hands and thats why nut hunting is solid.

Obviously my luckbox is faulty. I think this might be my worst month both as far as money lost and in running under equity for at least 6 months. That kind of sucks. Fairly impressive seeing how I've mostly played 1/2 too. I'm playing decent but results just refuses to come. This is the third December in a row where I lose money. Maybe I should start doing charity work for Christmas instead of playing poker?
