This will be my first post in this blog and alot happens when you are travelling with your laptop and try to find a good spot to play the tournies.I won some dollars at Star City in Sydney,well I was betting 30 dollars on the trotters in a trifecta and won 2245 dollars,not bad for an afternoon.Anyway, I have since I bought that car played many hours in the car while it have been running to get power for the laptop because the bloody battery don't last for more than an hour each time.I have to buy a new and powerful battery to my next trip.

Anyway,most of the times I found a great coffeeshop to play online and most shops are happy because you sit there and play and eat and drink all day.Recently when I played online at Stars and was nr two in a tourney and playing in my car as the powersource,then the screen went black because it was to hot,36 degrees,so I rushed to a restaurant and sat down and started up the bloody thing.I ordered a drink and sat down but after 20 min,then a few women turned up and said I was rude using their power,but I said,heyyyy,I want to eat here and play some online.Okey,they said I must leve or they would call the police,ha,ha,yeah plaeas do that and tell them I use your power for my laptop,they come here with FBI,I am sure,anyway I had to take off again and I didn't play for an hour until I found another place wirth a powersource.

Okey I had dropped heaps in chips after 42000.I had 31000 when the blinds took it's share each lap.Ok, I fought back and came 7th in the 27.50 Dollars at pokerstars.I have noticed alot of people think people with laptops are weird people looking at their screen all day,anyway,I have done alot of things except playing poker.I have tried to get in shape running on the beach 3 times a week,that is something I recomend to all players.Don't get stucked in front of the computer without excersice.Maybe you even play better when the jogging has been done?(or the opposite,it depends I guess)Okey,I will write more later.I cashed in almost all the SCOOP at Stars. I came close to FT 2 days in a row in a few other tourneys.Soon it will happen,I am sure,just don't give up,that's it.I have faith.I can't give up after several years without a BIG WINNER!!

If someone read this part,see you all later and Good Luck//DIAMONDxxx

Okey,I will try to keep it positive but first I will copy a few handhistories and the last hands or at the end of the tourney when I busted.I know we all get busted sooner or later but the first goal when I play, is to take the tourney step by step.I try to build slowly and hopefully I can trap some bully out there or avoid getting trapped.Sometimes it works and sometimes it makes me wonder,how could he call that?Xrayglasses from buttricks or what,or drunk with sunglasses and daddies VISA Card.I don't know how? For an example someone can push ALL IN with 37.This example came from the milliondollars at Pokerstars and the pot was approx 160.000 when I got AA vs one player.I rasied and he pushed me ALL IN.Flop 3, river 3 and I was busted.OMG*****OK you need xrayglasses to call that one or to be any of the above.Hell if I know how he or she can call that, he or she did and said afterwards,I was bored??It was approx 180 players left!Well whatever,this weekend ended like below and a few handhistories from pokerhand.org,excellent service!See how the hands where played at the table!!

Ok,this was what happened this weekend and the DD at Tilt and the others had their moments but I didn't have the best of days but I will look forward to positive days and hopefully a few FT's at the end of the rainbow.I am positive most of the times but just after a beat,then I could call some players donkeies and so on,sometimes they had to call and I was just unlucky not to win the hand but that's what happens when I am hot and want Victory.The day I love to lose a pot,then I finsih playing poker.It's like a boxingmatch when the other guy says,oh nice punch or great knockout)) A great thanks to those who buy my shares,a BIG )))))) TO YOU.I hope you stay and folow me all the way to Victory.Maybe in a Large tourney.That's the goal***Cheers***

Good Luck ALL and may the pokergods be with you

I am travelling for 6 months and I am a visitor of Australia and have been since December.This is a great country and I have had many great experiences.It all started down in Sydney when I decided to visit a friend opening a venue for pokertourneys in Cambelltown.I recomend a visit if you go there and you can contact andray at cmu if you want more info.They have sit and go's and standard tourneys.Anyway,I came to Sydney when the BIG Tournies where on at Star City the Casino.This was Dec 2008.I didn't play any tournies because I didn't qualify and I wanted a break from poker.The break part from poker is not easy for a veteran like meThat what it says at cmu if you look at my number of postsAt leasy I am not addicted like a few others(Joke)

Anyway,I watched some great poker at Star City and suddenly I decided to do a trifecta at the trotters,so I did and I remember I took one horse with the odds 11 times the money and this horse had to come 1,2 or 3.I made 3 single tickets + I had several horses as nr 1,2or 3.Anyway my horse came second and I knew I had the others correct.It cost me 30 AU Dollars to do this and I went to the hole in the wall and the guy started to count 100's.Hey is this the hidden camera or something,anyway,it all ended up in 2245 AU Dollars,wooooooow.Great start on my 6 months trip

Ok,maybe a few words about the poker lately!Since that Finaltable and the winnings of 1350 Dollars,then I have sold full buyin shares because I have not been able to deposit.I don't have an Australian account,so that's why.I have had a few great investors and they have bought it all but for how long when I am only close to the FT's and lately not even that.I had 260.000 in chips in a tourney a week ago and said,now it's gonna happen but in 3 hands all gone.I got QQ vs AK and K on river and AA and the guy hit a str8 and the rest is history.

Without luck then it's not gonna happen.I sat in a tourney the other day and I could honestly not even get a pair when I entered the pots.This was for 2-3 hours and not even a pair and when I tried to bluff(sometimes I do )then they reraised me ALL IN.Like I said before.I am in the bush playing mostly from my car as a generator to the laptop and it's working great except for those FT's.I use Telstra wireless and it's also working great in most places around Australia.Hopefully I can get a few FT's soon.

I will keep trying and I will go back to my homecountry in a months time,then I will start up my internetbusiness with a game called V75 in Sweden.It's a game with trotters and you have to pick the right combination in 7 races.This is every Saturday and the reason for this trip was a Huge winner in this game.I sold 20 dollar shares and after all the races then each share was worth US$ 7000.I can tell you my Australian friends felt happy but also a bit nervous I think.I mean who is this guy calling himself DIAMONDxxx at cmu? He could easily pull the plug and throw his computer and run with the dollars.I want this business to run for many years and it's no point ripping people off,I rather have great friends + it's to much crap in this world anyway and I don't want to add any %'s to that!Join if you want.I will begin in the beginning of June 2009.Only 20 dollarshares.

This is the address: http://www.freewebs.com/v75andelsxperten/

I will play alot more poker when I get back (don't I play everyday now??) and hopefully with the help of backers or shareholders.I want to keep going and we all know what variance is in poker.It's up's and downs that for sure.Maybe I try more Live poker and I will try to sell shares when I play.It could be interesting.I have practised a bit while I have been in Australia and hopefully I can make it.I am sure you wonder what I am doing in the bush in the middle of Australia,well I registered a claim for gemstones and this is my next goal!

I will work hard at the pokertables + with my business selling shares in V75 and the trotters and hopefully I will be able to go Down Under again and buy some equipment to set it up and hopefully I find heaps of gemstones as well down the hole.If nothing works out,then I am more than happy to get an investor for my next trip in Feb 2010.I need equipment to start it up.I do this because I need a break from poker now and then or I will burn out and life is full of other experiences as well.It's easy to forget about while we are chasing that FinalTable.Cya later if you have read this,then you have read it all

Good Luck to ALL players from DIAMONDxxx

I haven't updated alot lately,I have moved into my flat in Sweden again after my roadtrip in Australia for 6 months.I used my car as my home and also the office for the pokerbattles online.I drove my car to remote beaches and used Telstra Wireless.I mean,how could I complain with that kind of a lifestyle!Definately not, and I will do it again if I get a chance!I enjoyed the beaches and excercised regulary and took a swim in the ocean

Back to this part of my life that is called the reality.9-5 work is not my thing,so I must do what I do and suceed in one or another way.A strong mind can move mountains.I am stubborn enough and with some skills and some luck on the way,then it will happen.

I have decided to play Live at least once a week in Stockholm to make a plan for the next year to reach WSOP in good shape.I will try to apply many different strategies and hopefully I find my livestyle that works.I will make misstakes but also great guys do misstakes!

I will follow WSOP 2009 and try to get organized for the upcoming WCOOP at Pokerstars in Sep.I have struggled with the online poker for a while now and it seems like I am close to FT's but always sucked out with KK vs K10,AA vs 37 and so on.How can someone call a 160.000 pot with 37 when ALL IN?I don't want to bore you with badbeatstories,I am sure you know what it is and you have your own stories to tell!A few online buddies struggled like myself but, then all of a sudden,then they get a FT and get great dollars to keep them going.

I have a few coaches out there telling me - You'll make it soon You will get a good score sooner or later with your game.Sure,let's hope so.Positive thinking is one of the ingredients and excersice.I am aware of my leaks!I have to fix it, close them and do the deed.The results will come.Be among positive people and apply those vibes to eachothers game.That's the goal.I don't need negative and dark energy in my world,we have enough of that already! Hang on,yeah that's it.To be stubborn and a bit crazy helps.Let's see what happens!So what image at the live tables?A superman dress?Don't think so!We'll see!Not even a Flash Gordon dress.NOOOO!!!

Good Luck ALL//DIAMONDxxx
