Hi guys. Hope you all had a good turn of the year and I wish you all a good 2011! I've had a pretty amazing party to inagurate the new year and was to tired to do anything yesterday.

December recap
December has been an awesome month for my standard. I actually managed to play a lot of hands and had great dicipline in my play. Which I think is a personal victory!
Played a ton on Full Tilt, because I find the black card/iron man system is very motivating to grind. I playd OK enough, but this is not all that great at all.
Most hands are 50bb or CAP tables.



Also won a little under 1K playing on Stars and Absolute. But total hands on this was 2.5K so graphs aren't really all that interesting. I guess I have ran pretty good in the sample...

January goals
A lot of people have goals for the entire 2011, but I just decided to do this one month at a time, since you never know what will happen to you or your interest in poker.
My exams are from the 3rd till the 14th, so I won't get in many hands in that period.

[ ] Pass at least 4 out of 5 exams
[ ] Play 20K hands
[ ] Study my game more
[ ] Visit 2+2 and leggo forums more regularly
[ ] Blog more

These are pretty passable and realistic goals in my mind.

This is it for now. Good luck on the tables!

Hope you all had a great Christmas. Mine was pretty avarage, but still fun enough. My sister was very sick and had to stay in bed the whole Christmas, which sucked (the most for her obv). She's doing a little better now, so that's good.

And since everyone is showing their Christmasgraphs, I can't miss out (even though I didn't play all that much):

Full Tilt


Stars;


Also my exams are starting january the 3rd, so I'm gonna start studing a lot in the following week. Got 5 exams over a 2 week timespan. Some are tough, some are pretty easy. But we'll see how it goes.

Also have gained Iron status on FT for the first time (first month of playing there), which is pretty cool. I'm also pretty heavy ahead on Black Card status schedule. So that could be awesome in the future.

For now, that's it!

Take care all!

So paited up my whole room today. Did the first half on my own, got help from a fellow inhabitant of my house for the 2nd half, which totally rocked and it went so fast.
It looks pretty allright now (no pics yet). Monday my furniture will arrive and I'll be setteling in.

Poker has been great. Been playing a shitload on FT (thanks to the one who swapped $ with me). Primarily playing the .5/1 and 1/2 50bb/cap games, since I feel I play better at those and there is slightly more fish over there. Results have been good, been running insanely hot as well.



Hope I can keep going like this. I feel like I'm playing pretty well (could improve a lot still though) and obviously getting lucky a ton.
Getting hands in is not as hard for me anymore as it used to be. The Iron Man Challenge is a motivation for sure, but also my new PC is just so sweet to play on.

Been losing a tiny bit on PS (mostly 2/4 and 3/6 short games), and decided to play more FT atm since I like it there and I have ********, which is big.

Planning to pay my extra expenses (moving out of your parents house costs money) in the future with some ********. Got $70 this week, which is $1/100h. And if I keep going at this rate (which I'm planning to do), I can manage with the ******** only and don't have to take on a job .

For now, that's it. Play good all.

So yesterday was an awesome day for me. Woke up, played some tennis. Relaxed a bit. Wasn't really feeling like playing any poker, so didn't do that. In the evening I had a night with some old school friends of mine, which was really cool. We played some Wii-sports first, the I schooled everyone with Virtua Tennis on the PS3 and we ended up watching 'Meet the spartans (which was funny as hell), before going into town. Town was not so great, but still OK, because we were quite late.



Pokerwise I'm planning on leaving Stars (even though the software is insane these days), for a site with ********. Still doubting which one. Fulltilt is my first choice, but never played there thus far, so I'm gonna give it a go. William Hill could be a contender too, because the amount of fish there is insane. Anyone tips?

Also planning on renewing my Leggo abbo in december.

Take care all!

BTW. Does anyone want to swap $ mine on Stars for yours on FT (~500)? Send me PM if you wanna help out.

I do

So I haven't played poker for quite a while, but today I gave it another shot. Did allright in a tourney finishing 14/444, but only got 4x my BI. Not a lot of reward for long play, and that's probably why I dislike tourneypoker.
Played some cash too, and lost 2BI. Played quite rusty, but not too bad I thought.

Have been playing NBA 2k11 a ton and it's just an awesome game! Very realistic. I'm not really good at it though, I'm strugling quite a bit on All-Star dificulty (which is 3/5 difficulty)



I'm playing as the knicks and I have traded Carmelo Anthony to the franchise, which is likely to hapen IRL I think.

That's pretty much it for now, but I will try to update more frequently in the future!

Take care
