IMAX- a great experience!!!

Oi Oi live from Sydney!

Well now it gone a few days and i figure i give you an update.

The play i did in the tourney was not my best first hour, i played really donkey there but at same time it helped me because it made me get maximum payout later on as they all though i was a donk :-)



Overall i am happy with my play, on level 4 th i was close to chipleader, but i run into quads against better quads and nothing i could do, then i lost with AA against JJ where he got a flush and third hand i got JJ and cant double so boom. I needed a few days in the bar :)

I went straight to hotell, gutted and tired, i really think i played the hands i got as i should and i been over them again and again to see if i could done different but poker is like that, sometimes it doesent matter, you bound to lose anyway.

So for breakfast on Wednesday i bump into some Danes here in the hotel, and they where playing that day and Lilja, on of the guys girlfriend and i decided to skip casino world and go to a market a bit a way. It was a nice day in female company, not really used to that on this trips so it was a nice change. Lilja is a great girl and beautiful pregnant 5 months gone, we run up and donw this market, trying funny hats, wigs, cloths, tasting all sort of differnt things and laughing, alot, talking alot and had a great day. The fruit and vegetables section in this market wanted me to shop loads and go home cooking!!








And all the colors, not easy to give back on photos but i try. And man... i tell you am stubborn and if she 5 months pregnant can keep that tempo AM NOT backing! lol. We (read Lilja, i happily pay taxi but noooooooo, this is a walking chick ) decided to walk back to the hotel from this market and we passed trough what must be Sydneys chinatown, and isnt that funny that all towns got their own Chinatown?




We kept on walking and passed trough a park where they had an exhibition with big photos taken on the world from the above, also an absolutley amazing beautiful sight. What a fantastic world we live in after all.




Then after that we bough yet some more baby cloths, trust me that unborn baby got more cloths then any alive baby in this world :-) but its so sweet this little tiny outfits so who can resist.

We decided to take a little rest back at hotel and met up for dinner later, boys hopefully still in the game, so we did, dinner was great and the Shiraz even better!



After dinner we had reserved seats to something i never heard of, and never would if it wasent for Lilja who are an totaly unbeatale numbero ono Queen in reading tourist broschyrs!! Good there are people who can be bothred and not just do like me, toss me in and hope for the best!

IMAX: worlds greatest biggest 3D cinema.
And this was awsome, and a super nice experience, i mean the movie (Bewolf)it selfs could been better but that didint really matter and after all we saw Angelina Jolie Naked in 3 D Hep hep-Get in boys! And we all look like geeks in the glases :-)



The 3D effect was absolutley the coolest thing ever, forgett those tiny effect when 3D was so popoular this was HUGE and REAL and so so CLOSE.. amazing shit, and one could get addicted easily. I want more! http://www.imax.com.au/home/

Back in the hotel we meet the danes...playing poker in the lobby on their laps, sight for soure eyes, lol. Well i left em there and went up, i crashed, tired. And hope friday comes with sunshine and beach weather so the boops can get a least a little brownie!



take care and all the best!

Sydney APPT Grand Final Day 1A

Hiya!

Well no problem changing day as they are overbooked on friday so am playing today, in fact in 45 min :-) and isnt it just a shame that Jokerstars cloths didnt fit me ;-) thank good i brought a Mermaid top, what would one do without good old Mermaid!

And its raining outside so that grand, then beach on friday instead. Perfect.

Woke up relaxed and very rested and went down to breakfast, and what a breakfast, i seen many hotel latley but this breakfast was super, all the fresh fruits sliced and ready to eat, absoutley super grand.

I once for a long time ago read an artickle about a very skilled and rich buisness man in sweden, he said: you liked your rooms cleaning? You liked your conciergies taxi handling?
well.. do you know their names?

So i can inform you my cleaning girls name is Sabrina and my "taxi holding up the door and smile boy" ´s name is Tony, i say hi Tony he say Hi Hanna lol.

And i solved the mystery with that perfume in the bathroom, ahh well i ddint tell you but there was a perfume in there bothering me, well not bothering but puzzles me since its not mine.

And i was also puzzled why the bathroom got 2 toiletpappers holders on the wall, just underneath eachother, very stupid i thought but i FIGURED it out!! Japp i did!

The top one got PARFUMED paper and the buttom one dont. JESUS!!
And they look angrily at me for not wanting rechargable batteris- GET IN!

And by the way the manger in the casino, his name is Greg and he is like hmmm a biy sweet :-) he said the weiw on floor 17 is amazing and has to be seen, so i said ok, when? And smiled.... he said.... i let you know. loool. men men men...so easy.

The girl sorting out my lifetime membership at the casino was very sweet she said: hmm you smell nice, what perfume is that? (lol does this odd things happen to all you others?) i said: its the red one of Donna Karen, the green is better but i figure i go hot and red today :-) She laughed. Greg laughed too ;-)

ok now am off to play some POKHEEEEEEEEEERRRR.. *smile*
Keep a thumb for me.

C4Q

ps am always give some to charity before playing and havent really found anything here, need to find it, cant play else, its in my head!

Am odd, yes, and wacko, yes, but am me, and there is just one of me, most would say thnka god for that :-), so? lol. Zero interest!

Hep hep..

Time to "toss em in and hope for the best"

Road trip and zebra crozzing in Sydney

Oi Oi Mate!

So the journey has began. All went ok i mean i never in my life qued this much, jesus at frankfurt it was amazing!!! And enourmously strickt security.
Seated in my spot where am going to be the nearest 22 hrs or so i was lucky to have a nice girl next beside, and we could have an empty seat between us witch is gold travelling this far.
She was goig to Australia to see her wife that was working there :-) yepp, wife.

They fed us and we slept, or tried anyway.
We did a tecknical landing in singapore to refuel and we got an houer on the airport, hmm well ok now i been in in Singapore :-) didnt do much for me.

It was raining.

Back on my seat and a new member of our 3 seats joined, hmmm well ok then. His name was Martin and he was going to Australia to feel the freedom, huh?
They asked what i was going to do there and i concidered for a while to make up a story of visiting a friend that was going to get married or so since noone really gets that thing called poker anyway, but naaaa i said: playing poker. they said: ehhh you mean like they do on TV. (lool) and the rest of the conversation i think you can imagin yourselfs, they where chocked to know i played for real money online. (lol, well so am i some days so fair enugh)

The flight was actually ok even though beeing so long and big selection of movies to coose between so all good. Food crap but the Shiraz nice :-)





Okedoki, the hotel is classy and nice, and am not sure if they know something i dont because they gave me a huge bed, and we talking huge.


Whos going to sleep here?
The litle teddy bear i bought in frankfurt (only found one so far :-(( ) looked very lonley sitting there among all those 38 huge pillows. But yea good to be prepered and as usual the boys sneaked a bunch of mermaid condoms into my bag. Hey guys, what you really think i do on my trips ?? I work and play poker, no time for honekey tonkey stuff.


The weather in sydney are - horrible. Just my luck eh.
Raining and am freezing. But when sun gets out one can feel it heat like sugar to the coffie and i hope it changes. Actually i check the forecast and it will be better thursday friday so i am trying to reschedule my first day of playing to tomorrow when it will rain anyway. I hope i can do so, i mean i have to come home with some brownie boops right ? And i promised Dave to go to Boundi Beach and do the arm trick ;-), i tell you what THAT is after i done it,

Anyway i was in hotel around 08 and got my room shortley after witch was nice, i checked some mails and unpacked and decided to take a stroll in the city. Woow, this is a big town i say. I lurk around looking for some small things i needed, like batterys. Find a computer shop and get in and ask. He only have rechargable ones and when i say naeee cant be bothred he looked at me as it is my fault his kids are going to grow up in a destroid world. jah jah jah. I will shape up with that recycling shit i promise. But not today.



So i get me a nice big steaming hot caffe latte (its frezzing outside) and keep on my walk. As you know they drive funnie her too, as in Ireland, how come i seem to travel only to the few only countries left that are driving on the wrong side?



ohh hang on- roomservice!! Love hotel!

ok so i walk there with my caffe latte and its around 10, people are in a hurry everywhere and its quite nice to just dont have a time to bother about. I stop by a crossing, and i didnt bother to press the "i want to walk button" since i dont care, i stand there drinking my latte, lol, ok this is getting funny so hang on.....

A man in suit and tie and shiny shoes come and press it and says:
-one HAVE to press.
I say : OK.
WE wait.
It gets green and all including the man walks, i dont, i stand there drinking my coffie, i mean am not even sure am going that direction am i?

The man stops halfway, gets back to me (wtf?) and says: one are supposed to walk now.
I smile and say: ok.
(and i know that within 10 min are going to drive this man insane :-) )
He keep on walking. I dont.
lol
He turn around, hits his arms along his side and get back to me:
- hey mate, why you aint walking?

And now its not green anymore so he has to wait to next green. He is very stressed now. So i figure i need to say something so i turn to him, fire of a huge smile and say: well, am having my coffie.
Now he is starting to get frustrated and surly must think am either retarded or very interesting, i do smile so am not rude and my cloths are not dirty or trashed :-) and i dont talk to my self- yet.

Ok so we stand there, waiting for next green. And he says:
-hey listen, i fuck*** AINT walking unless you do.
I say: well why didint you tell me that.
He looks at me like am from mars.
It gets green, and i say: ok mate lets do this.
He says: thank you god! Thank you!

WE walk, and after crossing he says: wasent that bad was it?
I say: naeee it was ok, was it ok for you?
He laughs and gives me his hand: am John, how ur doing?

I think this was little funny. I got his number, he didnt get mine, he wasent that interesting :-), so if am really bored i phone him and ask for a coffie walk. I turned back and walked over again, i thought he didnt saw but when i looked around he was stirring at me like i was mental nut case lol.


Such a nice shopping center.

I do some erronds, find a place to have lunch called: The Grinders cafe, lol. had to stop there. But they must missed something becasue no even one grinder where there :-(
And manage to find my way back to hotell all by myself. Decided to rest a bit after all its been a long flight and time difference are making it tricky to know if its day or night, not that it matter to me. Its a welcome party at the casino tonight and a book release of some famous poker player i never heard of, standard. So the plan is to go there and mingle and drink drinks, am very good at that.

Laters mate.

Tricks to look pretty?

There are tricks to look pretty, yes.
I didn’t think this I mean how much can one really change things?

Ok,, a bit odd issue for coming from me since you all know I don’t bother that much really, one are as one are and if that don’t suit people well….**** them.


Ok, today I was at big spa and recreation centre here I town and had some massage, been having pain in my shoulders so figure I do something about it. The girl I know well, I go there from time to time. She really is very funny… last time she asked me if I ever use lipstick, I said noooooooooo, can’t be bothered and it makes me feel cheap. She said: u should, you got lovely kissing lips. And am sure she isn’t gay :-) she is married with 2 kids.

Hmm so today when I came there and we where done with the massage she asked if I had 15 minutes to spare? Sure I said. I didn’t ask for what, felt like pointless since I would find out in about 30 sec or so anyway. Ok she said, and led me into another room and asked me to sit down in front of a mirror. Obviously she is a make up artist as well so now the fun began.

She did half my face with proper make up that really don’t look like make up but just natural. And other half as I had it. Wooooow…that’s sick. What a huge huge difference, I mean even a man would be able to see it, because we all know they don’t see much anyway.

So she did the other half and hep hep I look awesome, didn’t even know I could look like that.
So of course I had to buy all the things she used because I mean how difficult can it be ??? loool, am sooooo crap!

So anyway, you who play online poker with me tonight, know one thing, it’s an awesome pretty chick for once, sitting here tossing her chips in.

lol one packet- winner? Me!

Hello!!

Long time since again. Sorry for that but the work and travelling takes a bit the energy out of one- but now am back in it!

If I am to give you some poker updates it actually gone well, not in winning money but improving my game and realising one or two things. My mentor say am the most stubborn person he ever met and , well he is spot on right, but thank GOD HE is the most stubborn person I met and very honest as straight forward to me so all good and once again- getting a mentor to help is the best you can do- but it need to be someone you click with- someone you can discuss widely with and exchange thoughts and adjust to what suits your game. I learned a lot, but of course still do mistakes, many of them, annoying and stupid ones.

And by the way- I still hate the STT variance- its an sick, insane, filthy, horrible sun of a bitc** and i hope it get **** and die.

Been giving the famous Sunday million a try two times lately and first time it was 2700 runners ( it was the bigger buy in) and I ended as 150 ish, well, I played well but maybe a bit to aggressive in the end defending my positions and blinds and it killed me. Second time it was 7700 runners (smaller buy in) and I ended around 500 ish, and really never was in the game, horrible card average and only pots I could take down was the ones I stole and pushed so amazing I lasted that long – fair enough. Good practise. ITS all about practis, cant say theat enough, getting clearer and clearer to me

My mentor buzzed me 10 days ago saying, wake up- get in! Let’s play a stupid 10 $ rebuy sat and just go crazy becaseu am tilting. We do that sometimes to cure some tilting :-) Anyway, after rebuy ended and I done an add on I invested 40 $ and had like 10 smallest stack loool, my mentor kind of invested about 300 $ but that’s another story, it helps him from tilt somewhere else far far bigger so fair enough- we all do what we can to master THE game.

Ok, so there I am very small in stack and I ask my mentor: -hey what are we really playing for here? He says- one packet to go to Sydney.
OMG OMG OMFG ....ONE packet!! We are around 370 people and am smallest in stack almost. Jesus what a big mountain to climb, but i do what i do Quite good :-) i "toss em in and hope for the best" and shame shame on those who give up and I actually ended up winning it!

Yepp you read right I did win and are therefore very soon visiting the land down under. Cheers mate!

It’s a far way to go for some poker but am going to see it more as holiday trip as well and only play the main event not any cash game or side events, only focus on that one and if it don’t go well and I dont advance to day two I am heading for the beach and some hunkey tonkey suntanned surfers to lay my eyes on mooooooaaaaa!

Well it’s quite massive buy in for someone as me and the proos can surely walk right over me but not without getting at least a try to fight back, after all it’s just a game, two cards and 5 to go.

HEP HEP And in worst case I get some nice days off, some beers and suntanned boooops and hopefully I also can annoy someone with my never ending talking around the tables and ship one or two on their bikes, I sure as hell am going to try, in the home land of The Master TonyG.

To be continued……

Waterford Winter Festival day 2

hola!

160 brave tired and pale humans started play 14:00 here. I slept 3 hrs but felt ok, coffie does the trick. In early stages i got involved in this hand:

quoute blonde: ""Anna Colley, who was the chip leader in the early stages yesterday has had her stack decimated at the start here. Brendan Hartnet (blonde's own Ericstoner) was also involved in the pot...

Holding 88 on a 672 flop, her chips flew in after an allin bet from Paul Fitzpatrick. Brendan, acting behind, thought long and hard before folding his 8-5. As Paul was allin, the cards were turned over and he was holding K9 for a flush draw and 2 overs.

The turn was blanc but the river completed Paul's flush, doubling him up and reducing Anna to a mere handful of chips.""

So back to grinding,, and done so well... up to 50 K just to see my JJ being killed by AK. And after a few more hands i lsot i see myself down to 15K. Well doubble or leave so i turned my table in to an all in table and stick it in every other hand and tokk it up to 30 k without seeing a flop. won a few and back to 45k. Then again... lost QQ against AK and are down to 28K. Average are 45 i think and we are 100 left. But not givcing up :-) just need a doubble....

Cheers for now!

19:45 dinner break.

Never experienced this kind of poker before- honestley. Really a rollercoster, sick. Up to 70, down to 40, up to 80 and down to 20 and on and on, drains my energy for sure! Am on 30K now and thats not good at all, antes is 150 after break and blinds 1000/2000, we are down to 70 players. Moved to new table and it was god it took me up to 80 k, then i raised an AK soooted and one goes all in, cos tme 17k more to call so need to do so, he got 88 and they hold up. Then i got KK cracked by 66 and got a couple< of decent AK, AQ 1010, JJ but no play. Ahh.. well. AM still in and now its all in all in to collect antes and blinds, gamble and hope for the best!

Cheers

Waterford Winter Festival 2007

Hello!

Travelling shoes are back on and got Irish soil underneath.


Almost missed my flight, what’s new eh? But finally in Dublin I met “flushdraw” aka tony and we get the car out and drove down to Waterford. Thanks for the company Tony, nice with some company, where supposed to have 2 Danish in the car to but they never turned up.

Friday 16, Day one Main event:

15 000 starting stack
1 H clock


Started off well, first 3 hours of play I managed to spin my stack up to 74 k! Had absolutely no good hands but decided to play as I had, after a couple of calls where I have to show the table realises I got a very wide range of hands and it got a bit harder to mess around  but I was chipleader and that’s good enough. But all good last short, I got AA cracked and lost a huge pot, hand after I had to lay down JJ after both big prebet and flop bet. Then I tilted away another 20 K of HUNGER, cant believe as hotel don’t serve things to eat. Anyway down to 45 k and stayed there long, -+ 10 k. Fair enough. Droped in the end, couldn’t keep my focus up without some energy to the body and brain and ended up bagging 37 k for tomorrows game. Average is 24K so better go out there and do some job pretty quick. And I will, we are seated same table as we break and that’s an ok table, full of potential double up possibilities.

Am dead tired now its 07 here and I have to stay awake another hour to get breakfast and play resume at 14:00.

Just when we started off 19:30 to play 8 levels a 1 hr.


Nickey Power " my bro" a steady MTT player and STT shark.

Poker in Da CLub


We got a pokerclub here, witch am pretty much involved in running, however I been out from there last 4 months due to other things going on but this week I did a little come back ;-)

Monday I was out walking TT around 21 in the evening and a car stop, its 4 of my poker lads, in na funny little car, always makes me smile seeing it. They shout, -poker in da club, spontaneous NOW, we are doing a deepstack 20 k looooooooooong night. Then they left. Lol. Ok, so I decided to be in, arrived after almsot 2 blinds periods (20 min each) since I hade some things to wrap up at home first. Had a nice but very long tourney and ended second.

Day after that would be yesterday I had to go out to open up and help out starting things off and can just as well play then, also a deepstack tourney 15k. I think the first 2 hrs I played amazingly good poker, and its not easy to say that for me, am very critical. I took the right decisions went on top when I felt weakness, I played back, I played fairly aggressive for being beginning of a deepstack tourney and manage to build my stack to 45 k first two hours so I was satisfied with that. Then 2 guys arrived to my table that really play hard balls and wild poker, I had to change my game a bit and lost a few bigger pots so decided to calm down and wait out the game, it was very aggressive and they kind of took my game, lol, to play others hands instead of my own. But I ended taken both of those two out so why complain. First of them was a play from my side that I cant be 100% proud of but he had played so wild and showed any two all the time so I took a shoot and it went home, did a stupid call on the turncard where I should have folded, I didn’t at all have odds to call but had the stack to do so and did, I had only top pair with good kicker and there where really good straight cards on the board and he is known to play those middle cards so I shouldn’t have called, river came and even did it more possible for him to have a straight and I knew 100% I was beaten but what he had left to go all in with was to small for me to NOT call, so I did and won it on my top pair, he was bluffing all the way. Against the other one I flopped a set of deuces. And it was not really anything interesting more then he did a stupid play. Lol. He raise pre with 68 off, I call with my pocket duces, he hit nothing on flop and insta stick his stack in that was around 25k!!, plenty of time to do something with those 20 k. BB was only 300.
I insta call of course and everyone knows it, “deuces never loses” lol.

I won the tournament, but must also say I got very lucky in one hand where I had JJ. We where 3 left, smallest stack raises 4 times BB and I got a big stack and push all in to get number 3 out of the pot. Number 3 says all in, and he got a few k more then me so I am covered. WTF??? Small stack that are really small now folds his way to bigger money. So my JJ is up against the big brothers KK, merde. But flop bring out a J and then I got 85 % of the chips and the rest is just a few more hands and I take them out.

And my best advice, get a mentor. It has changed my way of thinking and my way of attacking situation and take advatage of position and weakness. And i think he likes being my mentor too, am nice and fun ;-) or?

Its a win win situation. Bin bin´s and mentor FTW.

Hasta Luego Baby!
Taking TT out and then off out to have lunch.

Mystery with money in the braw resolved!

Woow i certainly intended to write more then once a month!
It’s been a crazy month, a lot of things have happen and they are not suitable to write about here. They are not all good but neither all bad either and life is still here to live so; Get in!

Last Saturday I was out here in this little town and funny enough I got a really good closure on a situation that accrued in January and that has been keeping me a bit puzzled. Anyway, the Saturday night action was a poker tourney first with the lads in the back of a nightclub/restaurant and after that some serious drinking and party all night. Well I think the drinking started straight up and the poker isn’t much to talk about. I had forgotten that among these lads 84 is a really good calling hand even if there is heavy raising going on, lol.

I love my poker boys dearly and we have fun but there hand selections are sometimes giving me tons of grey hair!

Anyway, we had a great night even though I hade to walk home barefoot but that’s pretty much standard. I have a tendency to give it all if there is a party and my shoes where really really killing me so why wear them? I could write a whole blog about my first lesbian experienced that was quite intresting but i save that one for a rainy day ;-) besides before you start to see pictures, i turned it down! Or i could write about how much headache i had day after and that i barley made it down to the pizza on my soure feets and that the pizza man was so kind to give me a pizza even though i forgott my purse at home!! He truly understood the huge efford i went trough! Bless him!

But i wont write about that but want to get back to the issue with the story that finally got a closure.

In January or so I won a tournament in the club here, a bit bigger one so nice very nice. Some of the lads ordered a table in our favourite place and I decided to tag along and eat and drinks, a bit spontaneous have a nice evening out. So I rushed home to swoop cloths and put on some girlie “stuff” as make up and so… I know some of you where thinking totally different things now but nope, just the ordinary things, promise. Well I was stressed so didn’t get a handbag but just my card.
Card goes a long way. :)

Well as it happens, we had a bit to drink and I can only assume I hade a really good time. I woke up following day lying cross my bed fully dressed, except the shoes which I had in my hand. lol.(yea what is it with me and shoes?) I get up and on very unsteady feet’s trying to hit the shower, when I take my braw of there falls out money, a quite an interesting sum actually. And up until last Saturday I have not been able to trig my memory on how they ended up there in my braw or why…. Well.. There really could be several reasons! Most likely a bet or a challenge since am a sucker for that. I also hade pain all over so I figure it must been some kind of bet involving a marathon run or something.

It was neither! It was a fair and square win at the black jack table and when the place closed and I had those money in my hand and shoes in the other one, one of my sweet pokerlads figured it was better he put the money in my braw so he kindly suggested that and I apparantley agreed and said: good thinking put it there for me please. So he put them there. That’s true friendship.

He also said he helped me home to my door since I wasn’t the steadiest girl in the box, lol. Standard. So not much left then to say thanks, most appreciated. And for those who wonder, no I didn’t have any pockets on my cloths, then life would been too easy ;-)


Ended my night today with a 10 ppl Sit & go in the club. We played with 20 k and ante , OMFG it took long, but we had fun no one really wanted to give up, the money was not the thing, we all just wanted to win and the side bets where far bigger then the buy in itself, lol, sa usual. Tess slept in the sofa in the club, music on and a few beers might have been opened up, all in all a nice evening with my boys.

I ended Heads up after being CL for long and then lost it down to a ridicules little sum when being 4 left (1500 or so, lol) and manage to come HU. NEVER give up.
Heads up lasted 3 hands… I get AK of hearts, flop bring out two hearts not much more to add. He get two pair, he had to call me I was so small stack. Thanks to my mentor for teaching me aggressive bubble play, it made me survive.

Swedish Köttbullar and Sex Addiction!

I have simply not even had my TV on for 3 weeks.
Since premier league is over for the season it’s not much interesting to watch.
But yesterday I took an early night cuddle up in bed with a cup of tea and TT on my right side and turned on the TV, and it took me about 5 minutes to remember why it’s been off for 3 weeks.

OMFG, Jesus Christ!

I mean I can understand people want to do different programs right, but HOW in this world do they find people to be in them??? For an example there was this documentary about being sex addicted. Well….what can I say? The programme followed a man and his wife where the man had this problem. And it was a bit odd because I came into the programme like in middle so I hade to watch quite a while before I manage to figure out WHAT he was addicted to and that kind of kept me watching. So…this man obviously cheated a bit now and then but that was really not the biggest problem, apparently! The biggest problem was that he “even on their honeymoon masturbated”. Hmmm well…am not going to get to deep into this because to me well… anyway! Lets move on.

So obviously he masturbated rather then having sex with the wife but she said she could only allowed, (WTF allowed???)him to have sex with her maximum of 2 times a week so what is the poor bugger going to do? It was really amuzing how this clinic they where at for a 3 days treatment look at this problem, First of all masturbation was totally out of the question they compeered it with alcoholism. And they had to do a lot of deeeeeeeeeeep looking into my eyes and say “I will never touch my penis again” WTF? The doctor said: the penis belongs to God and your wife and occasionally you can borrow it to pee with!
Woow thanks sir!

Well…am more stunned over the fact they find people who are willing to hang them self out in this programmes then the fact that there actually are “doctors” that say these things. And the solution to this mans problem was a rubber band around his wrist and every time he felt like masturbating he was going to pull it 10 centimetres out from his wrist and snap it back. Standard or?

And of course he had this problem because his mother didn’t love him enough and never hug and kiss him as a child. Really, am so tired of hearing that as an excuse to being a rapist or a mass murder or in this case a sex addict. Get a grip will ya? And yea.. when the now indeed very happy couple left the clinic they said: we could never sort this without XXXXX. And in all American style they raise their arms in the air holding hands, like a boxer celebrating! OMG OMG OMG

TT is the funniest dog ever I think. Today I was in the kitchen doing “köttbullar” you know famous Swedish köttbullar and trust me I do really good ones. But I had the fan and loud music on so I didn’t hear my phone beeping for an incoming SMS. But TT runs of into my bedroom and normally she never leaves the kitchen if there are cooking going on- trust me she don’t. She came back with the phone, she carried very gentle it in the leather stripe I have on it so it was like hanging out from her mouth, she came into the kitchen and sat down beside me waving her tail! would love to think she did it becasue she knows i get happy receving those messages but i acually think she did it more to earn another köttbulle then to really help me out, she is very clever this little brat!

Anyway it was from Vegas, as always these days, and I just love it, get hand rapports and funny incidents and +- reports, love love love love it! The message said: Not doing too good, put on more lucky bin bins! So I did, of course, even though I already had 8 on. So after a while I text back asking: better now? And got back: yes but keep them on! I like this kind of communication. lol I really do! We both know that bin bins don’t really help but it for sure is fun!

Today I was to the swimming house, will try to that a bit regular now, needing better stamina and shaping up a bit, sitting too much in front of computer last year! I used to swim a lot and I used to be quite trained but I know it’s going to be hard work to get back to it but one has to start somewhere. When I use to train regularly it was no problem for me to swim intense for more then an hour, now I can do 25 minutes and that’s it, lol, so hell yea, loooong way back! And yes before anyone ask, i didn’t go to the swimming house until my friend left the poker tables in Vegas to go to bed, because bin bins has to come off in the swimming house! When I take shower I always text saying no big pots nearest 5 minutes!! And always get back: ok hear you!

Its funny, I mean sitting hours and hours around a table can get to you really and if I can make it a bit brighter sending wacko text telling about my day and TT`s silly things she does all the time I happy do so. Am a good cheerleader!

Now am off for a long walk with TT and when getting back am going to watch an episode of last season of 24 and also bike my indoor bike along to it, very very boring but not often I feel up for it so better work when the iron I hot. Today is one of those rare days! Very rare. Standard.

Todays Tick: My köttbullar, they are awesome! Drop by and eat, I always cook too much.

Todays Tock: snapping rubber band around your wrist to stop a man from masturbating WTF!

And if you got this far I think you should leave a comment, I love to have them.

Festival in town a battle With Mr Pizza!

Yepp, time for the annual festival in this town and it for sure has its sweet moments. Like today for an example,. I could eat fried bananas and ice-cream to breakfast 16.00 a clock that not very day! And I can go out 03.00 and buy thai /wook/langos or what ever, that’s not standard in this town.

Nothing really new under the sun, my MTT`s glory with 7 Final tables last week seems to be gone, but giving up isn’t really my thing even though my shark scope on STT tell me I hade 8 massive heart attacks and finally now are not only dead but stone cold berried. LOL.

Challenge to turn it around. I will. Or start all over when am better with a nick you all can follow. And then I play you all one by one and smatter you!
It’s good to have a reasonable goal right?

Leaving it for a while though until my mentor gets back from the sin city. Got a shiploads of hands for him to work him self trough LOL, he will be very happy, NOT. Who cares.

TT is very annoying right now, she is in her fase of “female dog want male dog come and bang me” and it’s no JOKE folks!! But she is controlling that specific part very well she is not humping people or so but thing is she collect things and treat them as her puppies and god forbid if I want any of it such as my shoes! Geee she looks at me like am a baby murder and minute am done with my shoe’s she fetches them right back and cuddle up with them in her place. Wacko dog. Ah well it will pass in a week or two so no harm just fecking annoying.

The other evening I was playing a tourney and we all know how hungry one gets of hard solid body work keeping your AA holding up against 92 off and such so I pick up the phone wanting to order pizza, from a place where I know they deliver them home.
Ok so I ring the number and want to make my order, the man says: you need buy two pizzas we don’t deliver else. Ok cants see a problem here so I say- hang on I ask TT what she wants. And here is where it all get weird, the man ask me who is TT? And am not sure that’s really any of his business, what you all think? Why he needs to know who TT is?
But am a very polite girl so I say: it’s my dog.
The man says- my pizza is for no dog!
And then he HANGS up the phone!! WTF

Am stunned to silence, stirs at the phone and say to TT. -This man is a freaking mental case we shall have our pizzas if I so have to bomb threat him, TT agree. Not always standard but she is also hungry. So I phone again (thing is this is the only place that do home deliver of pizzas in this town, else I would of course phone someone else)

The man answers. And I say -hi it’s me again you just hang up on me. He says:- yes my pizzas not for dogs, swedish people very crazy. WTF? Who is this little man? Ok I say: listen here now MR capricosa man, I want to order two pizzas, and I force my self, very very hard, to say pleeeeeease because I really really want this pizzas, or one, the other one it for TT. The man is silent for awhile and says: -you promise no dog eat? WTF??? Is this man for real?

Here am split, I don’t really like lying to people but I really really need these pizzas. So I say-what you say can we do a compromise? The man say- like what you meaning? (and yes he talks this funnie its not my English) I say: can you agree I give her the sides and not the juicy parts? And I cant believe am standing here 2007 negotiating with a pizza man about what to feed my dog but I stopped being surprised anymore of weird things in my life.
He says- wait. And he turns to someone else in there and talks a language I definitely don’t understand. He comes back and says- ok. Pizzas for no dog, you make promise.
And I of course make this solid promise and am still very very keen to know if he was making fun with me or as I would like to think me making fun of him, I want to believe it was me but I am honestly not sure. Compromises FTW!

Of course TT hade more then the sides. Moooaaaaaaaa:
WE WON the pizza war!

Witch makes me a bit bad cheating on our promise to the man and that makes me think of a Ytube clip someone posted on poker net.. Am baaad, Am baaaaad.. Hilarious!
And they say the only one this man beat on the ship was Zupp! I think Zupp should let his Frida play him, instant cash out then I think.
I dunno why i cant make the link work inside the text so i put on the left meny, called Am BAD. Enjoy.


Todays Tick: Fried bananas for breakfast, one gotta love that!

Todays Tock: TT´s suddenly erg to treat everything smaller then a sofa as her dog puppies!

TT the Hero Girl & Vegas 2008 (Dohhh)

Ah well… right now am so annoyed at my self for not bothering to play satellites going to Vegas. It really is the place to be this time of year of being poker interested. Got so many m8`s there right now and you can really find tournaments in all different price ranges so even me would be able to play great organised live poker every day. I didn’t bothered either with rake race or satellites, its been a hard winter/spring in many ways, divorcing and all that shit that no one plan but just suddenly are a reality so I haven’t really had the energy for anything until lately, now am ok again, or will be, in time.

The tricky part by being here and m8´s being in Vegas is the time different because my phone is beeping constantly and I LOVE it, love to hear about there hands and beats and how they are progressing, just love it and am also good in cheering and supporting, am the BEST lucky charm anyone can have lol. I hope.

TT is just the best, walking her this morning I pass trough town and I then put leash on her, otherwise she run lose all the time. She stops and sit down, ok what now? Refuses, totally refuses to go anywhere and instead she insists by going back, eh!!! WTF!?

But I know my TT very well so I know there is something bugging her so I let her have her way and we turn back and after maybe 10 meters she stops marketing a spot in the grass, I look and what did I find,.. My keys! I haven’t even noticed lol they fall out my pocket. Standard.

So today TT is the hero!
I say to her: good girl, when we get back home you deserve… MUD FOOTIE!! And she was very happy with that so once again we got all muddy and dirty and totally soaking wet since the rain was pouring like crazy-love it! So now am sitting here after a warm shower and having a cup of hot chocolate besides me, it feels more like October then July. TT is cuddled up in a blanket, she is the most cold dog I ever had and after her shower she was trembling, what a chicken!

TT is the best. Early this morning when my phone where beeping regularly since my mentor where doing well in the CEO tour at Venetian and TT was very interesting to help out with the texting putting her nose there but I told her to bug of and she got to sleep. Well.. lol.. she was lying with all her 4 feet straight up in the air and every time my phone beeps she wave her tail and stop when I take the phone, and then when it beeps again she start her tail again and this goes on for like 2 hrs, still with her feet up in the air, VERY wacko.

How come she turned into a wacko dog? Can anyone explain that, I simply don’t understand?

Well I just decided that next year I will be in Vegas 100%. The main event am not that interested in actually, it’s just a silly dream and the odds of doing well of 10 000 people are too small for my brain but the side events and smaller tourneys, all this tourneys everywhere or STT maaaan could kill for being there right now. Next year I will set up a team with my mentor, we go there and crush those tournaments, lol, well no point being humble is it, and we are the best. Standard.

Today I also heard from an Irish m8 over there, he came in top 20 in the PLO championship and I missed that, am not that much into Omaha so that’s why, but big big congratulations, he is a very skilled player so am not surprised at all, and his name will surely be seen more places around. Look forward to see you in Ireland to the autumn! Drinks on – you, always lol.

ok am off to the swimming house in a bit, taking that up again. Ah well, lets see, normaly i get bored after a day or two and quit but i try ok?


Today’s Tick: TT-The key finder! And of course also Mr Mentor that let me have a part of Vegas here in my world, regularly entertaining me with text messages for 4 days now containing all sorts of things from Muppet play to celebrity spotting and lap dance reports. Standard. The man really likes his lap dances!


Today’s Took:
My self. Am very lazy. Why did I not even try to get a trip to Vegas?

cheers

He must have a very boring wife!

My neighbour rang my door about 05. Why?

Well I didn’t have a party or play loud music or for that matter having crazy sex on the kitchen table. I kind of wish all of it but nope! - I laughed. Just simply laughed! WTF?

And noooo my laugh isn’t that horrible, at least I don’t think so but sometimes when I start I can’t stop and it was really hilarious and I laughed so I cried. It was a post on a poker forum that just flipped me out, I was tired too after being tossed around the tables but still it was so hilarious written that I couldn’t help it. So my neighbours little terrier started to bark and they couldn’t sleep. As a side not in this I can say my TT slept like a baby trough all this, Standard.

Well it rings on the door and I open, still laughing and whipping my eyes and there he is in a very RED and now we are talking RED morning very gayish dress with his hair all “sleepy” ah well I simple don’t know what to call it, it was hilarious fun that too! And he says:–hello.

Ok fair enough but I can’t say anything so I just put my hand up in some peace salute greetings ala me Jane u Tarzan and shake my head. He says- are you alone?In all fairness I don’t think that’s any of his business, right? But I can’t say that so I nod my head, still laughing. He looks over my shoulder into my apartment like he was expecting 4 clowns and 8 stands up comedian or something. He says- you woke up our dog and you have to stop this laughing because he will not stop barking!

And must ad here that their little bloody dog barks to everything! Sometimes TT sits by the door stirring at the door tossing her head to left and right listening to that maniac little rat, TT is Quiet though, just listening to the little bugger.

I really hope you all can all see this sight in front of you because I still cant stop laughing and I wanted sooo badly to say – put on some pan pipe music it will calm him down, cos that was really what the post on pokernet was all about,, but I cant speak, trust me I tried but it was jidder jadder so I just try to say – sorry I will do my best, and then I crack down again. He clap his hand along his red dress and says- I give up, I give up. He said it TWICE CLAPPING his hands, turns around and goes.

Well. What can I say?
But honestly if I rang the door at a neighbour 05 in the morning and the person laughs so she almost peeing her self, I think I will start to laugh too, at least smile and classify her as a nutcase and let her be but I wouldn’t be angry, but hey maybe that’s just me, I dunno.
Note that TT didn’t even bother to jump down from the bed during all this! My dog is really wacko or she just used to me, I dunno. Seems pretty standard in this household. And yes am single- wonder why LOL!

I might add too that earlier in the evening, well ok, quite nightish time I realised it was raining like madness outside witch I love so I took TT with me out and played fottie in the backyard on the grass and it was great, all muddy and slippery and we looked like two mud wrestlers, also pretty standard. Great fun laughing and talking to TT like she is a human but thing is TT tackles really well to get the boll but am quite stubborn me too and the fact that TT got more red cards then a whole deck doesn’t seem to bother her at all, she is very happy and unaware of the world of rules and regulations, really!

Well when I did this, maybe around 01 or so, dunno, I notice this neighbour hanging behind his curtain looking at us, so I think I kind of built up to it already there.

Can also add that this is the same neighbour that caught me doing snow angels in the snow last winter 4 a clock in the morning wearing only my pyjamas and big glows and boots. I mean seriously when new snow is coming one CANT control one self from doing snow angels, simply cant, no one can- or? Me and TT can’t anyway. Then that I was so eager to get out so I forgot my keys and had to throw snowballs on their window so they open the door for me, well, I was excited to get out and also my pyjamas don’t really have pocket for keys, FFS am only human, I forgot! And he was up anyway spying on me and TT so I don’t think opening the door for us was that much of trouble but obviously he is a cranky one.
I think his wife must be very very boring.

How come so many men have boring wife’s?
They tell me that all the time?
I think its there own fault really. One are not boring in one self, that’s not possible but if hanging with boring people well then you get boring yourself, very simple. Never understood why people make life so complicated.

And just now it strikes me, so many moves from this house. I lived her 6 years and I been her longest. I never really thought about it before but maybe it’s my fault!!!!
Chist! But.. really.. come on! Fottie and snow angles FTW!

I actually think learning how to be a decent STT player will eventually help me a lot in my life, because even if a suicide bomber rings my door I will think its quite simple to handle, BECAUSE the beats and the variance in STT is no joke! Jeeeeeeeeesus! I think I played 50 today or so and maybe ITM (that silly word, who came up with it really) in 5!!! That’s no joke, and I been spending 2 hours now going over HH and I simply cant understand how I could not WIN at least a few more? But obviously I didn’t so. It’s a huge relief to sit down on a cash table and get simple standard beats as KK against AA and such lovely things, I mean it feels like sugar compared to the STT one outer programmed dealer. Actually it’s really are fuc**** up my brain.

And my mentor is of course in Vegas where everyone else but me is right now. And the moron texted me saying- I stay here it’s so great; you really should have come with me! Yeaaa that one want to hear sitting here getting all grey-haired and frustrated.

Am 100% sure that those who do STT instead of cash game are happier and more relaxed people, they MUST be, because if you can handle that variance then you can handle everything!

Todays Tick:
Well it has to be “Gambler” for making that post that made me laugh like I have not done for several days, and also “Codiciado” for giving me such sweet compliment in that thread saying: I'd wish all girls was as easy as you Anna-Panna ;-)
Well I know one can misinterpreted that “easy” but I can assure you its not THAT easy, but just.. Easy!

Todays Took
: Here am not sure actually. The man or the variance. Cant decide, take both. What a heck , MY blog I do what I want. Also pretty standard.

Love ya all!

Grrr....weak play never rewarding!

Its 06.00 here witch means I can go and have breakfast at bakery around the corner so am going to take TT with me and do so. Was quite a poker night and one can in all fairness say am hugely disappointed but one have to take it as an experience all right.

Played a 80 K Guarantee and we where around 400 to start. I did well all the way and when 13 left I was nr 3 in chips very close to first and second so wasn’t very worried. Then the problem started… I got involved in a hand I didn’t have to get involve in but I felt I been letting people boss me around on my blinds too long so I defended and semi hit and well… ghaaaa, you all know how it is. There I lost 35%of my stack. Hand after I chose to take a coin flip against a small stack with my pocket QQ and his A9 of course held up, Ace on turn. Standard. Well after that I was very crippled and pick up 1010 and with only 15 BB left I push, I don’t regret it, I do it any day of the week again and again, and was called by a small stacked with QJ and hit his J on river. Standard.

Anyway end of that. Just hoped to make it really high up, good money and be able to stretch my back and say I can do this, am good enough. But back on the horse, I gone over my HH and I think I played two hands really really bad that cost me a lot, and one of them I played bad because I not played it, lol, getting all weak and scary for the big boys when closing in on FT. Bad bad.. but I be back, trust me. I can hold my own; this was my 7 th FT this week, not freaking Sunday million but good enough and darn good practise.

Else a funny night with friends over MSN cheering for each other, Sundays are like that, tournament day of the week.

Todays Tick: my play down to 20 people, so great I almost pee my pants!! My mentor would be proud.

Todays Tock: my play from 15 down to 10. Played like a cissy!! My mentor would be ashamed.

cheers/

Friday, June 29

so now one been up all night again - Great!

Ah well…. Here one are again, light outside, children programme on TV and birds singing, or well.. It’s been light a while and those freaking birds have been on it since 4!

Man I tell you learning how to be a good STT player isn’t easy, first of all you need to play a lot of them, A LOT! And second of all I find it hard to swoop between cash game and STT, and somehow I always end up on a cash table taking back what I lose on STT. But am going to beat it, the variance, the luck boxes and the absolute erg to play every suited connector and fish for draws, going to beat all that shit- oh yes. I Will.

Ok enough of that thing called poker. Am going to take TT for a morning walk now as she really deserves it, she is a great mate, definitely, and she has the best of tummies to rub for luck when in an important hand ;-), it’s in my head and if no relevance to the game, I know!

Todays Tick: that would be two things, witch is not really allowed but I cheat, and since its my blog I can do pretty much what I want. Just stop reading if it doesn’t suit you.
1 Skype, great, and free, means without cost.
2 http://www.urbandictionary.com/ so much vital information in one and same place! Thanks! How did i ever manage before?

Today’s Took; totally and absolutely hate when coming into a place before closing time and get the replay- no sorry we are closing in 10minuts so we clean the cappuccino machine, you cant have a coffee. What? Or; no sorry we don’t have any salad or cucumbers left to your sandwich; we are closing in 10 minutes. What? What does that really mean? To me it means that the customer getting in 20.00 or even 20.30 is more important then the customer getting in 20.50. And that’s a lot of BS to me.


Am I really the only one thinking this is plain stupid?

Hang in there and speak soon!

Date With A Legend

Ok, so the mystery goes on.

And now I have been involved too. Am i Mrkinds better half, MrsKind?

I know I can do a lot of table talk to but I don’t think anyone that played me would say I am rude and harsh.

Well I do so much table talk that once on I got a message in the chat window saying:
“please be quiet for 15 sec”!
I think that was hilarious and I quickly took a print screen on it
The nick i dont use anymore, it was created to do a rake race with VIP points enough to go with the lads to Barcelona and see Barca-Liverpol in champions Leauge.

What a great trip we had!
Total of 18 Mermaid VIP players having a splendid time! Didnt have a voice for 3 days after. And of course i won the tournament we sat up in hotel

- Hands OF My Blinds - SHIP IT!

"I think that is progress"

LOOOOOOL

Well I seen this 8 times and am still laughing so I cant see for all the tears! I wonder how they recorded it without cracking down, honestly that’s an achievement! Stamp, Stamp, Stamp, and the guy in the background, just absolutley great!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SItPGEsjLQ


Far from this hilarious clip witch am sure did help me...the clip now and then and also AC/DC`s best record, “Back in Black” loud in my earphones, I managed to reach a few final tables online last 24 hrs. I have started to do STT and also guarantees MTT`s, with smaller buy ins but really good practise and yesterday was one of those sessions that really are rare and one of a kind, it was like I could play anything I just know it will come, totally insane, if I need a 4 it comes a 4 if I need a spade it sure comes, hilarious! No cash to talk about but a final table is a final table.

I got someone helping me with my gaming and am extremely happy for that, not just the experience and the fact that he really truly are good and special, but also the possibility to talk things trough, and more then that we have fun together and that’s how life should be really. Live today m8`s! And I have been looking for so long time to get someone to straighten my play up- so thanks!

I think for the moment what I picked up is more an attitude then really the gaming, hard to explain but more like letting go of the result and just be in the present and of course playing totally fearless. Problem for many I think is in MTT`s that one sit down and do a buy in that maybe are really too much money, and then its hard to play fearless and one get to much hooked up on getting over the magical line, InTheMoney! Stupid name anyway.

Well these days I see it like this, no point being over that line with a small stack, play for 1: st, always. No matter what, play a game you can stand for and be proud of, then the bad beats don’t seem too harsh really. And also I have hard time being focused if there isn’t a decent amount of money involved witch is why I force my self to play the lower guarantees buy in MTT`s, BECAUSE it shouldn’t matter, every time you sit down should be just as important no mater buy in. Else one should quite this really.

I got a friend that been a professional player for 3 years now meaning no other income then poker and he has been doing really well, 100% steady regular on 25/50$ stakes on several sites and sometimes I see his nick on 1500 people free rolls where winner get maybe 200$ and I asked him – what? I didn’t think it was him. He answers me: well if I can beat those 1499 and win I think I did really well, don’t you think so?

Never forget value of money.

While I was doing some mailing a friend from Ireland came online, we talk some now and then he is a really funny guy, always makes me smile and he told me a long line of bad beats he had in a live game this night, and I was like stunned to silent, because it was nightmare situations all of it, I mean how can anyone very same person get quads 4 times same evening? But then he said something I kind of took likening to and I quote him here, (hope that’s ok B?)

“”im normally a lot more depressed when I can’t see light at the end of the tunnel!! But a weird calmness came over me tonight there the beats don’t affect me anymore, I think that’s progress!! ""

Todays Tick: Without thinking one second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SItPGEsjLQ

Todays Took: People who sells things over the phone, i hate so i go crazy. first they talk without breathing for 2 minutes and THEN thay ask if one has time for a couple of minutes? Well that does NOT makes sense!

So lets all hope for some progress! And always remember to be open for advice.

Carpe diem! NOW, TODAY! Dont wait! Go Go Go.. go and grap the life!

C4Q & TT


NB1: TT isn’t well actually so if not better later on today I need to see a Vet with her. If she gets better i will go away a day to spend some time with a friend that breafley, unplaned and spontanious stoping by in Copenhagen before heading out to Vegas.

TT will be with her ex daddy, she likes that from time to time so she will be allright, more me missing her i think then she missing me!

Tess becomes TT and Bin Bin`s goes western

Japps midsummer around the corner and it came and it went.
Got stocked in town, no sea for me this year, first year since I was born I think I haven’t spend midsummer along the ocean somewhere doing flower head things (cant in my life figure out what its called in English) and playing games and hanging with m8`s but one do what one can of what is given so I did.

Tess and I hade a nice relaxing day, am reading a great book for the moment and get a bit carried away in times. My TV I don’t even think I have had on for 2 weeks, it’s really just the premier league I watch and it’s not season for that now. It rained like crazy whole night and whole day and I love it, I love sun and rain just as much as I love making snow angles in the snow at winter, it all has its charm and use, one just need to open up the mind and see it.

Its around 09.30 and am on my way for along morning slow jogg/walk with Tess and also see if any bakery is open to get fresh baked bread but not to hopeful, this midsummer is a pretty big weekend here I Sweden but I am going to se what I can rattle up. After that, well, I need to CLEAN my place and do laundry, not very exciting but needs to be done.

I helped a friend today, to pick present to his girlfriend. Well more in an advising way over the net then IRL, and very funny he was thrilled over my suggestion and ordered what I suggested. Always nice when one can help out and I am 100% sure she will appreciate it and so will he.


What was it he bought?
I suggested Bin bin`s/ Jali Jali or as we say here in Europe; Waste beads, when I lived in Africa I learned to wear it and have it on almost every day. In the African culture one believe this Bin Bin`s not only for the woman to look good but also to keep evil spirits our from the body and keep the energy left inside you. Well…. I think its fun to wear them it makes me feel pretty knowing they are there under my cloths. In Africa its not really good custom to splash them open, to show them, they should really just be there (funnie I know but different culture and everyone has it and a small glance when reaching for something is totally ok and welcomed ;-) but else nope) Here in Europe the girls and even I have it wide open, last year on the beach I wear mine and then it wasn’t so popular so many stirred, who cares, lol, but now I see them every where and you can even buy them in stores like H&M. so boys out and shop a special bin bin for the lady in some nice colours, and remember one shall never wear less then 3. Never. The more the merrier.

I like things simple so I got some bin bin`s in silver, not pearls, and they are my favourites. Got a few that also have pearls that glow in the dark *smile* ...ahhh well since am single no use for that kind of mysterious mambo jambo stuff but trust me it’s a fun accessories.

Ok so of we go me and TT (Tullamore Tilt) from now on will Tess be called TT, since a friend of mine keep calling her that and I never though about calling her anything but Tess but realising it’ indeed is a good name.

So Tess is from now on TT.
Thanks for that dear. Suits her fine and she seems to taken likeing to it.

Todays Tick: Bin Bins, always a winner.
Todays Took: Midsummer far away from my family and Vinö- very Took, very.

Midsummar around the corner

Well hallo there!
Welcome to my blogg that I as right now not really have a clue on what it will contain but a bit of this and that in my more or less crazy life I figure!

Tess is my little girl, the absolute most patient and loving dog there is. And right now in this very moment she is cuddled up among my pillows in my bed straight on her back with all legs in the air and yes, she is snoring, this dog is my substitute for husband to kick when he is snoring and she is doing very well. Bless her, my treasure in life!

Midsummer is coming up and hopefully I will travel to our summer house on Vinö an Island close to Västervik. My mum and sisters are already there preparing for all the traditional celebrating we do here in Sweden. Love it out there, one go out with boat and the only motor sound exept a boat one can hear is an old tractor that now and then makes its way between the houses. There isnt even steady connection for mobilephone so one are really cut off, witch in a way is nice now and then. Yes-*smile* there is electricity!

In wintertime the Island is very quiet, not more then 3 families living there all year around but in summer time it goes crazy with all the sailboats comming in everywhere. The BBQ smoke is everywhere and very quickley a guitarr comes out and shlager and singalong friendly tones can be heared everywhere. A heaven on earth for sure.

Todays Tick: Got my first comment in the blogg. N1
Todays Took:AA, FFS Anna just fold them next time!

And don’t be a stranger!

Blogging, Yea why not!

Not sure what this blogging will be about but i figure it out ;-), always have, always will!
Surely there will be a great deal of poker here and there since its a hobbie of mine and theese days also part of what i work a lot with, more about that later on.

For some reason that i still in my age havent got the hang of the most odd things happen to me in life, all from jumpers stories, suprisingly meetings and situation that sometimes are so priceless that one wonder- where is the hidden camera?

So just keep on dropping by and wish me luck!

End day 1 Ireland

About models: Its a myth that they don't eat, Jesus!!! Just had breakfast with a few of them and they eat like elephants! I changed some email addresses, but dammed they are tall.

Ah well the weather her is amazing, like July in Sweden. So starting with the emission taking money out, I look for signs for an ATM but no shit no signs!! Anyway find one and started to press 500 E, this machine can only withdraw maximum of 400 E, ok, I push 400;this machine can only withdraw maximum of 200 ok,; I press 200: this Machine,, ahhhh FFS write me a SIGN telling me how much I can withdraw!! I ended up taking out 50 E x20!

I mean a sign would do me good here ;-)

So I take a stroll down town to get some gifts, found a great football book about Pele;, always get English football books for M when traveling, hard to get English books in Sweden, M would be my ex husband, yea yea I know am a nice ex wife.

For myself, heheheh ALWAYS just one thing. Sunglasses!!! OMG OMG I got more of those then people got socks. But I need them since I always misplace them or break them. Found a freaking nice pair so now I have to take the car for a spin ;-) and look a bit cool playing Van Halen loud, true, they are for some unknown reason playing Van Halens JUMP all the time in radio, hmmmm dunnu why! Also I need to go out to a computer store so better get moving, and then meeting up with Derek around 13.00 our time here. And I did get one pair of glasses at Malmö airport and 2 more at Dublin, LOOOL, but don't worry I only buy junk one since I always misplace or break them anyway.

You guys cant imagine how fun it is so drive on the wrong side of the road; it really put your concentration on maximum and the adrenalin pumping. And the car is so nice ;-) and dark dark Grey, I regret now not having dinner with the lad then he might have got me a cabriolet!

Abut SIGNS: I forgot one yesterday, when driving on the bigger roads once in awhile it comes a sign, you are over speeding you got 4 penalty points OK OK sorry.. but hey, wait a minute how would they know, because it wasn't like a digital one, they just assume and I did some calculation on how often they appear and I think am about up to around 100 penalty points. Where do I go to get my penalty? Asked around and if you get 12 points they take your license and they got 4 cameras over the whole of Ireland working ;-) so narrrrrh not that worried!

Tournament started 20.30 Danish time.

OK overall with my game, lost two monster pots just before ending day one else I would been top 10 now am instead just above average. But blinds periods are 60 minutes and we still just on 150/300 with 50 ante and I got a bit over 20 000 so hopefully I can do something with it. Our table where great, everyone talking taking turns buying drinks, more like a friendly home game. The floor manager with speaker where ever so often at our table, wonders why!

There is a guy called John Miihn, he is famous here in this part of Ireland for being a bit crazy,, all tournament every 30 minutes floor manager says in the speaker, -WOOW John Miihn still in.

Fact is, John Miihn has not yet arrived. Thats why he is still in!

So 5 hours 28 minutes in the tournament John Miihn arrives, everyone applauds and whistling. He is left with 10 700, and average are 21 300, he is BB straight up and goes all in!! Getting called and get busted, he stand up waves, every one goes crazy and then he goes home!

Funny man! I mean it did cost 550 Euro to buy in..............

Well our comments and replay around the table makes the 9 hrs play feel like nothing and our tables is pretty intact, a few new players arrive but 5 of us sit there all troughs those 9 hours.

But not an easy table to stack up, chips goes back and forward.
Today is a new day and I got a tourney to play!!
Need to double up pretty fast but I will, I will..

Game resuming in just some hour so need to get ready.

Cheers from me

Waterford, Ireland

My morning started with biting the filling of a tooth!! Really good timing eh? NOT. So noooo eating just drinking for the whole weekend I suppose!

Finally arriving at Dublin airport, delayed, missing my train to Waterford and starting to figure out a solution to how to sort that. A man waves me. He works for a rental car company and he waved me and said: you need a car?

Hmm well need and need but actually no bad idea so we started to talk and after realising he played poker and him taking a break to go and have coffee with me I ended up with very nice car and my only request was really: nice stereo, this chick plays loud! So, he gave me nice car for actually cheaper price then the train would have cost me back and forward and far quicker in time also. Weird, but he was a nice lad and am a nice girl so. =-) I normally get may way.

Okey. as we all know, in this country they drive on the other side of the road.. The first thing one sees sitting down in the car is a big sign on the panel:
OBS, drive on left side of road!

haha one have to laugh, like anyone renting a car NOT knowing that would believe that sign? I mean of they don't know that already would they believe that sign?

Okey. here we go, tuned in a nice station, turned it up and of we go and dammed, it was a nice car, a sporty model that is quick like a little rat! Well. said and done, out in the traffic and dammed this is huge city! But I managed and after a while I was cruising along M50 looking for signs to N7 Waterford, turned out well, feeling like a new born baby on slipper ice. Most tricky is the roundabouts, I mean one can get lost there even at home but this was so freaking odd. but I said to myself, ok anna panna as long as it feels totally wrong you know your doing right!

Last time I was in Ireland are almost exactly on the day 12 years ago driving down to Waterford I start to remember some funny things witch are : signs, and even remember I got 4 pages in a photo album at home with weird odd signs.

Guys!! This is the land of signs, one can really smile. I mean driving along a highway and it says no more sharp shoulders.. ok good to know that here don't live skinny people or what do they mean?

Or heavy plant crossing, I mean what do they really mean here? Heavy plants crossing the road? Palm trees?

Or this one warning blind people crossing Ehhhh? Come on.
old people crossing is another one.

And honestly the whole country are build of this signs, I could go on forever but wont, my sense of humour is a bit dry I know! So getting a bit hungry and fore most dying for a coffee I stop at Esso don't know with you guys but Esso is like flashback to when I where 5 yrs old. Anyway stopped there and wanted to visit ladies room before coffee, well, getting in there it's a big sign:
please flush toilet after using it Hmmm, well why does that sign even have to be there? It gets even creepier. on the back of the door it says:
Zink to wash hands outside to your left. LOOL, and I can add the toilet area where like the size of a very small small room so no chans missing it. But hey, am not complaining, thanks for the info Government of Ireland.

So standing there washing my hands I look up to watch my pretty face in the mirror but nope, no mirror, instead another sign: machine to dry hands behind you Now am seriously starting to think this is a someone making fun of me and i am watching for the hidden camera somewhere but ok I turn around to ue the air maschine, and guess what, above the machine it is another sign: Zink to wash hands are behind you Woot? ok like someone would go from toilette to dry hands first or what do they mean here? A little less mentally disturbed person then I could be here all day, wash hands, dry hands, wash hands, dry hands.

Got to Waterford and found my hotel straight on. Entering the lobby there are like loads of super freaking skinny tall very tall females, I swear some legs where from neck to floor!, Whats this?? And I automatically starting to look around for some signs that will explain it and oh yes reliable old Ireland, there it is:
Summer beach fashion show by top 25 Ireland models!

Jesus Christ! Talking about knocking ones feet of the earth eh? Wanting to take a quick shower but it started really bad, I mean there where NO signs, and the shower wasn't a walk in the park guys, it was a really tricky one OR I got spoiled by all signs. Anyway done and then out to the place where they tonight where hosting a super satellite to tomorrows event. 60 people playing and just lads, everyone stirred at me like I was an alien but after a couple of beers they realised I was human, little do they know am actually are more an alien then human.

Did play, figure better then being in my room. Funny structure, one rebuy if empty OR one add one, and if doing the rebuy you get 5000 and if doing an add on you get 10 000. My sweet cowboys couldn't hold up even so hitting my set and then pushed since my all in after flop got called by a moron with 910 hitting his straight on river so rebuy. and then first hand after break I look down at the famous hate hand JJ and small stack as I am considering all at my table did an add on of 10 000 I push All in and got called by AJ, with J of clubs,,,, board come with yes your right 4 clubs. I start to look around after the sign: complain corner but couldn't find any so I went to the bar and had some talks with some other poker morons.

Well starting to feel tired after a pretty long day and kind of a bit curious how my girls with the swimming fashion where holding up I turned back to my hotel, to find out that on the door into the pub by reception where a sign here you can buy beer Nice info, I mean unless someone mistakenly took it for a church or so.. The supermodels where nice and still very skinny and very tall but one of them got really drunk and did some kind of interesting hula hula tropic dance on top of the bar, pointless to say she got tipped pretty well! Guys are the same everywhere, and the man in the bar put a bucket on the disk with a ...YES of course A sign:
Tip here please
