I am really tired but happy to be home again! I have been on a long trip, first to Malmö to celebrate christmas and then to Sälen for a week of skiing. It has been two amazing weeks with lots of relaxing and fun!

I didnt belive it pre-trip but I have actually played some poker. Not online which is a pitty but against friends and relatives. Mostly we played who would buy the hot chokolate the next day in the ski slope or like 20SEK - and it has been lots of fun!

Even if there was some hugh differences in skill I made it fun for myself (and for them) by playing a solid LAG style of 90/80/4

Before I can start my new pokeryear I need to make a summary of the past year.

2008 started ok and I was up €10k the first 4 months or so. When the summer came many things went wrong, I had a dowswing so I did many other stuff instead of playing poker. But as usually I recovered and this autumn has been fine - I´m up more the $10k. Live I am also up like 50k SEK during the year (probably more but I am not that great at writing down my results).
As a total for the year I think I am up like 275k SEK ($35k) or something (maybe a bit more but I dont have all the numbers since I started with PT3 first in august). Even if I had higher expectations for the year I am ok with this since I havnt played that many hands and havnt made the big effort I need to really improve and become a great player.

My goals for 2009 is to become so much better then I am right now. I will watch CR movies, go through my PT database after every session and try and find my leaks. I also want to play higher then I do now - a goal could be to play like NL1000 at the end of the year.
But I actually only have one big concrete goal for 2009: I want to have $25k in my pokeraccount in May (I have about half right now) - then I will fullfill a dream and go to Las Vegas!

After that I will take a year off from lawschool, play poker and maybe study some economy if I feel for it. Except from this I wont set up too many goals. These first months I will do my best in poker, study some, start to train and just wait until the summer comes - I hope it will be epic!

Good luck every one in 2009 and I hope to see some of you in Las Vegas this summer!!
