Alone with three girls...

Okay, I know that I'm almost as frequent as Santa Claus with my blogging, but there has been too much at work lately... so I'll blame that this time. Anyways, this time I'll talk a bit about my quality time with my three favorite girls.

On a side note: Poker is going awesome atm. Check my graph for March!

Last Saturday we... or Quisqueya decided that it was time to go shopping in Algeciras with Jun. Vlada and I tagged along, since the weather was okay and it has been some time since we did some shopping. We took the bus from La Linea, which was pretty nice, since you could just take some time to sleep. That's at least what Jun did. She passed out in like 1 second. "Switch off!" like Quisqueya said.

"Watch it or they will shit on you!"

After getting lost in Algerciras, we pass this dumpster area where they dump all the fish. Not so surprisingly there were quite a few seagulls swarming the place. Pretty much a mine field for anyone who tried to pass through. Don't worry guys, WE MADE IT!

After asking a few old ladies and a man that no one listened to, we got some directions to get to this Corte Ingles or whatever it's called. Huge shopping center with lots of stuff to buy... for girls at least. At the bottom floor there was an area for guys, but they had pretty much just spread out the same shit everywhere. Not much to choose from. Maybe 5 different kinds of 'decent' shirts and 7 pairs of 'decent' pants. I ended up buying one shirt, one pair of pants and finally a pair of sunglasses.

"Hey, I paid like half of what I should have!"

Fortunately, they had some kind of huge sale, so I paid like half of what I should have. I had no idea! What a win! With happy faces (well... at least me and Vlada, since Jun and Quisqueya _still_ couldn't decide what underwear to buy) I asked Jun "OEH BU OEH!" and she answered "OEH!" which means she is hungry.

"This tastes like shit! I will never eat here again!"

After this we strolled around in the town taking pictures and ate some ice cream. I also baught another shirt from a chinese guy that had EXACTLY one, long, shaft of beard (is this how you say it?) coming out from his chin... lol, "chin-ese" :D

After this we went home. Vlada and I were pretty tired, so we took it easy the rest of the evening. The bed has never felt as good...

Tripping on the finish line...

So close, but yet so far. A day filled with food, poker, Rock Band and... Blade III?


Damn, it's only 13:00? I usually sleep longer than that on a Sunday!... wait a minute. Summer time. Right. Anyway, time for English breakfast, as usual?  We gathered up at Lord Nelsons, only to witness bad service and less food than usual. Is that a way to treat a regular? Forgetting Vladas Apple Pie... big mistake. No tip for you this time!

"YES! I won the satellite for the $100k guaranteed!"

Yesterday I played the satellite on Bodog Poker to play the $100k Guaranteed. Good money, few players (500), good value! I just finished it, as we speak, and is very sad to report that I came 107, where 63 places where paid. Sucks extra hard since I also busted (midway through) in the $10k Guaranteed Freeroll.

Tough luck!

I plussed $75 on my cash games today though, so profit! Oh, speaking of profit, have a look at my new page for you guys that want to learn poker (I know Sven would like to learn) :P

"Headhunting is the shit, everyone wins!"

Lately I have been headhunting a bit for PokerStrategy.com. Turns out it could be quite profitable, but not only for me. The dude/girl gets a job, PokerStrategy.com gets a good employee (yeah, if I think you are not serious, I wont even bother referring you).

PROFIT!

I have two guys in the pipeline at the moment after assisting them through the process. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

"Vlada, you wanna play drums now?"

Apparently not. This little girl realized that after trying out the guitar (after a lot of persuasion) that it was quite fun! Would you believe how fun things can be that you have not tried? ;) ... AND she actually kicked ass. Most people play... not so good, the first time, but she scored around 85% in average.

Another discovered talent was Trine. Pretty good at guitar, but also on drums (Vladas speciality). Although it was not only pretty accurate, it was also pretty entertaining! Especially when the complicated parts came, Trine did a... quite interesting solo. Apparently, hitting everything at the same time increases the chance of hitting all the right notes. Would you believe?! :)

"Suck my blade, mother fucker!"

I finished the day off with blogging and watching Blade... III I think it was? Not a very good movie, but sometimes its quite nice to just sit back and watch a crappy movie with a lot of action. Turns out, if you poison Dracula with something green, he dies... and so does all the other vampires! Sorry... I spoiled the ending of a GREAT MOVIE!... or...?

Anyway, thanks for reading. I should have been to bed like three hours ago. Night night!

First pro signed! Johan Storåkers works for PokerStrategy.com!

Hi everyone! Finally a lot of things are starting to get going in my life. For instance, today the Swedish PokerStrategy.com-team could announce that they will now work together with the Full Tilt Poker pro Johan Storåkers! Isn't that the coolest thing ever? Johan Storåkers, working as a coach for us?!

Taking poker more serious

Two tables now. Advancing. Everything thanks to our own poker material. I love the irony of me not really watching videos closely or even creating a poker blog, when I work for PokerStrategy.com and tell everyone else to do it. Guess what! I've done it! I got a poker blog and I've even set up some nice goals for myself. It feels good to have things on paper. I CAN do this.

Although my graph for March 2011 looks terrible. A lot of bad beats followed by tilt -> bad play. Although after realizing I played like an idiot, I have taken some serious time to watch videos and stuff. Stopping the madness.

Storåkers first show is on Wed. the 16th!

On Wednesday Johan will have his first show, where he will be playing poker, talking live with the community as well as discussing different interesting topics with a secret guest. 20:30 CET it will start, and you can read more here or check out the coaching here!

Okay, enough being Mr. salesman pro. I've started editing some of the videos Johan has sent to me. I messed up the quality of the first one, although it's still okay. Next one will have the original quality, I promise! :)




It's actually quite exciting working with someone so bright. Someone that can live out of poker totally. It is not an easy thing. This is something I admire. Maybe one day I will be able to as well. Not that I want to, 'cause I would go nuts if I didn't have a job to go to every day (yes, I'm serious).

Fun things every day.

Yesterday, we were playing "Werewolf" (Info), something similar to the party game, Mafia (Wiki). It was me, Vlada, Håkan and the Chinese gang. I was the first one to be voted for execution... everyone ALWAYS thinks I'm the villain. Well... I was.

Last Saturday we had a carnival party in La Linea. Crazy. Håkan got his first "Spanish shitface-experience". Interesting, now I know how Håkan is when he is drunk. Pretty wild for a polite Swedish guy.

Last Friday I first had dinner with some old friends, to later join up with the others at my place, playing a home game of Poker. Of course the fishes, Quisqueya and Håkan won a lot. Too bad Håkan turned a better straight than I flopped. Gah, shit happens.

This week we will probably have a Rock Band evening. The usual people are invited + some new faces. It will be fun. Can't wait.

Life is pretty nice right now, even though I'm on antibiotics and have to stay sober for the rest of the month.

See you in the next blog entry!
