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.

Hep hep

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……
