Today been a relaxing day, still detoxin and gathering strength from EPT Copenhagen.
Was out yesterday for some Tapas with Em and I don’t know but the wine made me so sleepy so it was an early night after the footie was finish!
Today I been to my darling hairdresser, there is no one in this world who are gayer then him and I love him, he is adorable and spoil me, giving me wine instead of coffee, great I need to go there every 3 th week, as am naturally blond but don’t want to be blond. Just bloody expensive but hey hoe, let it roll, my funeral is already paid so why save!
Done there I went to get some lunch on my favorite quick place nearby where I live, always order the same, salmon toast no tomatoes and today I had a glass of wine as well I mean after all sun was shining and one got to enjoy every minute of life!
Funny is, that place has same nickname as the person winning tonights Bad Beat jackpot on IPN network and that has always puzzled me, maybe it was an Maltese account who won over 100K euro losing with JJ against AA :P
See as I said before, one can’t win with JJ and one can’t win against JJ, just hate that hand, but I think if winning the bad beat jackpot for 102 K euro I change my mind. The one having AA got 51K Euro and all 7 others dealt into the hand got 7K each, that’s pretty good for folding IMO!
See it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=roqoj1KxQpY (i tried made it show here, am too hungover, lol, cant sort it)
|I got a bad beat with JJ against me once, so i kind of have a grudge agaisnt that hand, I travelled all the feckig way to Sidney, flopped quads holding 99 on a flop that said 99J, ENEMY had JJ and can of course not get a way, river dealt a J for better quads, well it was not particular funny, but I was chip leader so still left with chips (it was the APPT Grand final) so hand after I got AA, great now they think am tilting so i, “toss em I and hope for the best” I get a caller, he has JJ.
Did he get set, naeeee,, straight naeeee… he got a flush :)\
4 hands later I pick up JJ and “toss em in”, down to 8 BB nothing else to do…. Getting called by AA and bye bye panna anna!
I was not very happy for sure but they served good drinks in the bar so I manage to recover my balance and had a very good run on the cash table, didn’t leave table for 22 hrs, one can’t leave when the value is like throwing itself on you!
Sick bad players. Sick.
Tonight am going to Casino Dragonara to punish them for hitting against Mr Gugster, I promised i will and I always keep my promise.
Wish me luck!
And pls dear dealer gods don’t deal me JJ!

1...2...3... BOX!
Ahh.. its little crap that my laptop crashed on me arriving to cph, because it’s for sure been a lot to write about its also bad I can’t upload pictures or maybe that’s good! Hahaha
Anyway, Saturday was hysterical, early morning I took train over to Sweden to get me a new laptop I want one with Swedish keyboard, so I got one, but getting back they first cancel one train, then one more, aaaaa and FT started 14 and we had one of our sponsored players on it, and I had to be there giving intervjuvs before start FUCK!!
So… let the money role… ! Over the bridge in a taxi and first I hear when getting out outside the hotel/casino is a player telling me, Jonas busted.
My boss blame me :P saying I bring luck, yea well, I tried and it cost me 2000 Danish. NH GG WP.
Anyway I railed the FT quite a while, mostly because the Norwegian boy was adorable cute, lol no well he was indeed, and played like shit so it was hysterical to see the hands and his body language was unbelievable, I really think it’s amazing how he could go all trough the field and be nr 3??? His father was a very funny man, they are one of Norway’s richest families so as his son busted Michael on 9 th place, AGAIN sick shit indeed to bust two 9 th places in row, … he gave him a buy in to next EPT. That’s NH GG WP!
Saturday night it was time for Boxing!!!
We had 30 seats VIP ringside with bottles nicley lined up on the tables, yes you got to learn with Danish people its free bar, else it’s not good. I must say this was so so super great party. I know the live streaming of it was no good, but on spot, live, it was super!
After 30 min we where suddenly 60 people at our 30 VIP places, we had 3 big round table, hmmm.. well no one sits anyway, even though they did on the other tables but I cant tell people to leave!!!
We had fun! One doesn’t stop people having fun. Not me anyway :P
So I said to my boss we need more bozzze, he said: hear ya! And came back with 8 bottles of vodka, and 30 beers. After all we worked hard all week right?
I love Tiestoooooooo, its great great music! And haps…. Very loud with smoke, and light effect the countdown starts 8,8,7,7,6,6 ahhhhh you get it!
It was then our tables throw away the chairs and just party! So crazy good.
It was some funny boxing indeed, 2 seconds bang! hahahahah.. hillarious, he laydown and Tofte didnt even touch him! sicko lolaments. Johnny Jensen, DM winner did a good match! And so did the actor but dont remember his name :)\the box girls walking the signs where pretty and with big boops, so NH GG WP on Gus selecting them.
Afterwards when Theo showed Gus hes the great dane, it was a club open for all the VIP’s and their guests and Gus and Theo joined in too of course, Gus was very disappointed not winning but after a few drinks he smoothen up its very easy to make Danish people happy actually.
My girls Em , Li and I had a great evening going, except for the mental woman that I still wonder how the fuck she got in? She followed us all evening saying we where sons and daughters of the devil, ahhuuuu??? Sicko, and she attacked L scratching her face saying the blood will rinse us! Jesus what a horrible bitch. She also tried to take my top of lol, saying I can only met jesus naked, ahh well can he wait I asked her?
But she wasn’t in the mood of jokes, we got her thrown out and partied on. Jesus didn’t arrive or maybe he was there, but am sure he had fun, we all had!
Ended up in the hotel bar around 05 with some mates so lets just say packing my room after a week and getting myself out to the airport to get back to Malta was a BIG achevment, but I made it.
My bar bill for the week was on 23 000 danish. NH GGWP arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I swore sitting on the plane back to Malta this is enough, am too old for this life :P and now I be better, no drinking, back to training, eating good.
I was very very determined.
30 min ago Em rang me:
E: Panna am so so bored
Me: hmmm I know where this going
E: :)\ YES!!!
Me: when, where?
E: ****'s @ 20:00
Me: arghhhhhhhhhh one day!! ONE fucking day!!

Sex Drugs And Rockn Roll
Today is one of those hard days.
Lately they seem to come more frequent then ever.
I blame Jack. He is worst friend you possible can have.
I was home 10 this morning.
We where a group of players and others that stumbled straight into the breakfast buffet at the hotel and I think I had breakfast but not sure, It was little blurry and a sudden tiredness attacked me for few minute and did indeed put my head down and rested a bit, japp, indeed did, not one of my proudest moments but I learned not to look back, life too short for that.
After a few hrs sleep, in my bed though not on the breakfast table, it was time to raise and shine and work again, its been ok, I got very understanding work mates, and my boss brought me todays first beer already 15:00.
So actually when I think about it, it has not been a very hard day. Its been pretty much a normal live poker event day :P
Denmark is an amazing country when it comes to drugs sex and rockn roll, to put it straight out.
But when it comes to gambling laws and taxes they are very conservative. As that is more dangerous for people then the fact that pubs are open 24 hrs per day and you can buy weed in every street corner and smoke it totally open. I don’t know, sometimes I just don’t see the logic.
We had open bar last night and I also lost a bet with a friend so I had to inrocude him to old mate Jacks all night, fair enough, but it for some reason made me drink more too, wich in all fairness thre where no need to but hey hoe.. positive thinking.
We ended on a club and when they closed we moved on to the famous Hong Kong, if EVER in Copenhagen I strongly recommend this place, or not, am splitt minded. It’s a small small place down in Nyhavn, and Nyhavn is like the naughty areas so be ready to rockn roll.
Its so small this place that its basically is: first group in and its your bar.
Its dark, strange, very old fashion and no order what so ever, the music consist of a old jukebox with the weirdest selection of music I ever seen and youd ont even press a button to see the song, no you pull a stick like a slot maschine kind of, yeaa am telling you this place are not for balla flashy people, but many famous Danish people likes Hong Kong so I guess that’s how they manage to keep their licene becaseu its surley not for sticking inside the rules!
It also has the most horrible lady behind the bar you possible can imagine, she is so so so rude, but still that’s the place to go. They never close unless she is in a really baaaaaaaad mode, then she can just close not even letting you finish your drinks.
That actually happen yesterday, we got tired of getting one drink at the time so we order in a bottle, I mean this is pretty much standard these days when you go out but on hong kong it really isn’t, she didn’t even understand, it took long time, and she got really angry. And she told us we stood in the way, we stood in the bar. In the way of what I asked? Noone behind coming in, it was just us 5 people there, I mean after all it was 09:30 a Friday morning.
Anyway she let us buy the bottle, and gave us some softdrinks to it, that she open, AND THEN she says, -am closing now and you can’t take the bottle with you.
WTF, why you sold it to us if you are closing?
But it’s not possible to discuss with this lady she is just pure horrible.
So now there is a bottle in Hong Kong with our name on it! Great!
Am writing this in the break, we are back on now and one of our sponsored players are still in, one more to go and we are finaltabling!! Whhheuuuuuu!
Go Tulkaz
Play well out there!

Prefer dancing he said ....
Located with my lap and camera man just outside the ETP room, wireless is great :)\ i couldnt resist inviting Tony Richardsson for a little chat and the traditionally bad beat story, and I dedicate this blog to Mastereda, she seems to like Tony, well I think everyone does, he really are a nice person.
The poker need more personal profiles like Tony Richardsson to representing our sport, to be ambassadors, because that’s really what it is at this stage we all know that, it’s not really about the shoot on price pool, but its good commercial, well done Nordic Bet.
Also well done Stars for sponsoring Boris Becker, apparently big kahunas like that make demands, because else am confused, Stars can in no way sponsor his wife to play due to skills? Maybe looks, but skills no way.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t complain, she was on same table as a mate and she sponsored easy and throw her stack around – well done Stars.
Also of course well done Gus, he knows how to create attention, always arriving late and today placed on a awesome table, Gus, Anette, Kipster, Elky. He arrives 2 hrs late and limping in, wearing a hoody pulled up over his head, drawing all attention to him, lol, question all wonder was is he injured?
For the boxing on Saturday?
He is great. The great Dane. And when Annette ask him if he got beaten up online, that’s why he limps ? He ofc as a true dane says naeeee, injured myself watching porn online. Yea.. well I don’t blinc, I work with Danes!
Back to Tony!
Tony just busted when we talk so of course it was not the best timing but he gladly stopped by and chit chat a bit. To be honest am not sure I understand the hand, he isn’t very use to talk hands, but it don’t really matter, he said himself he played ok, done some rookie mistakes but of course also realized that it’s a huge strong field to be thrown into as first official tourney. His coach, the almighty never silent Peter “Nalle “ Hedlund slipped in some more bad beat stories from the online training they had yesterday.
Tony as the very stabil guy he seemed to be, calm added: but.… we also where very lucky in some hand where we not?
That’s down to earth allright hahhaah…
“Nalle” however ignore that, and I thought this was a very good opportunity to remind him about the really crap attempt to lap dace he gave me on Helsinki casino bar some weeks ago, “Nalle” counter with informing everyone the only one he always meet in bars on all events are , me, am not sure I see that as a positive thing, but HEY.. best business made in he bar! So ok 1-1 this round.
Indeed am curious if this was more fun for Tony then the dancing challenge?
He said it was little wrong timing to answer that due to just busted, and I think for myself dancing must be better right? There you got to hold the girls in your arms and wear glittery cloths, haha I mean come on, how often can you do that as a man without being misunderstood?
Tony again very steady says: but.... what about this girls here, cant you hold them, or is that only if you win? One have to WIN, is that the whole thing? I seen girls here, he says very sure.
We mostley joke around and not much to write here :P and it ends with “Nalle “ doing what he reaaaaaaaaaaaly do well, -hey lets go have some drinks now!
BTW: noway “Nalle” you folded set on the flop level 2 yesterday when up against “Pokergirls” set of aces! When you’re ready to tell me the truth am ready to treat back in the bar :P
Over and out for now, I really intended to give you some more funny tales and gossip and insider news from Copenhagen but since my computer died on me and we all know best writing is done between 03-06 in the morning and then am left with my dying baby that slowly started to give up by letting me manage without M C and V, am left to some small here and there.
Play Well!

ps.. still got a few VIP ringside tickets for Saturday left for the big fight, if passing by cph, let me know.

Luux tomorrow brings out memories!
OiOi
Bhaaa no Sunday tours today, ah well I got quite a few windows up but not playing, just keeping an eye on mates. Flying to Copenhagen tomorrow, so washing and packing in very last minute. Arghh.. always like that!
Will go straight from flight to SPA at Luux. Scandinavian Poker Award.
That be nice, several friends of mine are up for prices and lots of my Danish players are there to party, am sure it be great event. Luux itself is a pretty nice place; IF you’re not on “kryckor” then it’s horrible.
We ended up there after our company xmas party in December, and I surprised everyone by coming home even though I fraktured my foot in 3 differnt directions and couldn’t walk good at all, so no one believed I show up. I went so crazy sad sitting here knowing they have our xmas party without me, so day before, VERY last minute i booked the ticket but not telling anyone. I limped in at the restaurant just in time for main course, looks on their faces was something I won’t forget in a long time! I had told a few of my players, so they joined up too. :)\ best xmas party i ever been too, the Danes might be weridos, you know sexuall oversteamed but they know how to party!
I had painted very tall, big “snaps” glasses with Malta and Danish flag and also everyone’s names on, they were indeed very artistic!! NOT, looked like they made by a 4 yrs old but heeeeey, it’s the thought that counts.
The bar people in the restaurant had promised me to fill them up with shots of some sort and carry in to the boys, and my thought was, that hopefully it will make them think a bit how the glasses can have their names on and also say Malta and with Danish and Malta flag painted on them.
Ah.. lets just say I overestimated my boys skill for details, I was watching them from the bar, they take the glasses drank the shots, and continued talking and eating, not even looking at my hand painted glasses, FFS!
And as they already were quite deep on the road to sinners paradise so no point waiting and trying to give them more time to get the thingy with the glasses. When they saw me I believe the whole restaurant actually wanted us to leave AND the boys made me drink the 4 glasses of shots left, straight up, just as a penalty for chocking them, yea, and the bartender had pour pure vodka in them! What? Shots to me is not like pure vodka, its like some short of taste,,,, ahuuua.. Horrible!
My flight back to Malta was day after, 07.30 in morning, it was party all night else that would been mission impossible to be wake up to.
Anyway.. .. sorry.. I lost track …Afterwards we ended up at Luux, and its stairs stairs stairs everywhere between the different floors ect. So absolutely amazing I made it, I had tons of bruzzes on the most weird places and they still joke about that I had both “kryckor “ in one hand in the end, i mean am not very graceful even without kryckor :P , but hey hoe, I made it, I only lost my jacket and my handbag containing my passport, money, cards, phones, keys, yea just about everything.
Not that bad.
So The DJ at Luux said in the speakers…:
“we got a girl who needs to go on a plane in few hrs, we need to find this bag, a bottle up for graps, free choice!”
Then he played some stressing pump up music, lol. Quite funny seeing a whole place with dressed up chicks and lads starting to look on the floor, and yes bag where found, I had just throw it somewhere beside a sofa thinking I was in my own living room kind of. Thanks thanks…it cost me a bottle of champagne to the finder but in long run, that was well invested money!
My flight back to Malta was haaaaaaaaaaard. Very hard.
Sometimes I wonder why I put myself trough these totaly stupid uneccesary things?
Is this the shit they call Carpe Diem?
Play Well!

My flight back to Malta was day after, 07.30 in morning, it was party all night else that would been mission impossible to be wake up to.
Anyway.. .. sorry.. I lost track …Afterwards we ended up at Luux, and its stairs stairs stairs everywhere between the different floors ect. So absolutely amazing I made it, I had tons of bruzzes on the most weird places and they still joke about that I had both “kryckor “ in one hand in the end, i mean am not very graceful even without kryckor :P , but hey hoe, I made it, I only lost my jacket and my handbag containing my passport, money, cards, phones, keys, yea just about everything.
Not that bad.
So The DJ at Luux said in the speakers…:
“we got a girl who needs to go on a plane in few hrs, we need to find this bag, a bottle up for graps, free choice!”
Then he played some stressing pump up music, lol. Quite funny seeing a whole place with dressed up chicks and lads starting to look on the floor, and yes bag where found, I had just throw it somewhere beside a sofa thinking I was in my own living room kind of. Thanks thanks…it cost me a bottle of champagne to the finder but in long run, that was well invested money!
My flight back to Malta was haaaaaaaaaaard. Very hard.
Sometimes I wonder why I put myself trough these totaly stupid uneccesary things?
Is this the shit they call Carpe Diem?
Play Well!

Things i wonder about
Yea i wonder about a lot of things, things that puzzles me, things that dont make sense, The taxi system in Malta for an example.
We all know Wembley’s is what to use, yea but their service mind is a bit odd I say.
We all also know that when it rains it’s impossible, at least very difficult to get a taxi.
-Evening, can I get a taxi to Manwel Demech 32?
-Yes ofc Madam, when will you need us?
-as soon as possible, thanks.
-no that’s not possible (huh… I don’t get that, how can that not be possible, I mean as soon as possible means as soon as possible, and if that’s 10 hrs then ok, up to me to say yes or no as a customer, but how can it not be possible?)
- ok, hmm sorry, I don’t understand, can you just please come as soon as possible?
-no madam you ring in 20 min.
-but why do I need to ring in 20 min? Can’t you take my order now and just ship a car when you can?
- no madam, I don’t work like that ( what? Lol)
-hmm ok, so if it was someone else answering the phone it might be possible?
-yes madam, that could be true.
-so if I phone in 20 min, is it possible you then say phone in 20 min again or can I for sure get a taxi then?
-yes madam that’s possible I say 20 min again, depends on how full my paper is.
- but that’s not fair, cant you use another paper cos it means others get taxi before me even though I contacted you before them, can’t you just pls be so sweet and take my name down and ship on as soon as you can, ok?
- no that’s in fact impossible, and this is just how it is Madam
Silence; i don’t know if it’s worth trying anymore and after a while of breathing competition I say:
-Ok, THANKS bye
One can’t argue or discuss with a Maltese I have learned that but this is ridiculous. I believe, they should hire someone to reorganize and structure up their system!!!! I volunteer to do it for free, am good in organizing, some would probably say am a true bitch and am not sure I can say against but still.
WHY does one have to call back in 20 min? DONT make sense.
I have now set up an account with them; see if that can give me better service. After all I use taxi a bit. And the white ones are just so crap, they don’t find their way, other evening I was picking up someone and then move on together, at Tigne Place, easy to find, it took him 25 min. BECAUSE he insisted to use his GPS, so silly, when I keep telling him where it is or where to go, I think he just got the GPS and wanted to use it, and then when we ended up somewhere else, he said it was the GPS telling him wrong, yea well, I don’t care, am telling you the right way!
I also am puzzled about the amount of gay people I met since moving here, I don’t mind, I absolutely don’t care but I never anywhere I been run into so many gays, how come?
Have I not seen them?
Or have they chosen not to be seen?
OR are are there I fact more gay people in Malta?
AND if so, why?
The climate? Are they just more fund of mold in their homes then others?
Am genuine puzzled by this actually, I mean I only have good experience with them, for an example my hairdresser is gay, most likely the most gay person in world history standing there with his hand on his hip looking at my hair, and I love him! He is great! He gives me wine, not coffee, for that only I could love him, he also tells me gayish relations problems, and that’s interesting suddenly makes my single life GREAT!
Take care!

-cant win em all !
Ah well…. One cant win em all right!
Thursdays tourney at Dragonara, I busted just before FT and my girlfriend Em did well and manage to slide into the money :)\ whuiuuuuuu.. Em best best!
Well done. It was a really nice evening though, and NO we didn’t manage to stay away of the vodka in the redbulls. Am really crap keeping my promises to myself.
I picked up Em in a taxi, yes lazy, but it was pouring rain and I just set up company account, so need to try that, no not really but arghhhh.. come on, rain?
In taxi Em says she is pretty tired working like maniac all day, yea well we get us a few red bulls and that’s sorted I say, nooooo worries.
(I have lot of faith in this drink but am convinced now, it don’t help, it’s all in your mind)
She looks at me like a sweet dog pup with big brown eyes and say:
-hmmm is it going to be vodka in them?
(she’s from north of Sweden and her dialect here need to be heard to understand how absolute adorable it sounded)
I give up, never can resist a begging sweet someone, dog, human, male, female, ahh well am actually better resisting begging men for some reason as I find it very much “ turn off” with weak begging men, “my way is the fucking highway and u the whole lot can just fuck off” attitude is better, then and am all lost! If they also occasionally tell me to shut up and take some decisions of their own, Well then I could even be close to break the 4 yrs of no no. But i guess it takes a hooligan to get along for me to even consider that. Now I lost subject again. Sorry. Happens a lot.
Sooooooooooooooooooo.. Straight to bar to have a drink before tourney, I order for both of us, at least I thought so, silly me, should known better with this chick:
-two redbull vodka, thanks.
-yes Madam ( arghhhhhhhhh,, they gotta stop this seriously)
Em, says:
-and two for me.
I spin around and look at her and for second and for a little amount of time in world history I mistakenly thought she was joking, she was not. Lovely, started well this all right. Not.
Ah well… lets just say we had a good night, and manage to drive one of the male dealers so completely nervous and confused so he had to be swooped out, that was funny! It was a mistake putting the two of us on same table, as we clearly couldn’t help our self flirting with him when seeing he got so nervous -poor boy.

A rocket, a finaltable and a win :)
Well, it seems like staying of the beers are mission impossible! But hey hoe….sleeping are for sissy’s!
Yesterday a friend/collogue from Denmark arrived, staying only one night so it was no point to slow play right?
It was one of those nice warm days yesterday so when he arrived from airport around 15:00 it was not much to discuss, we ended up in the sunny balcony with some beers feet’s up catching up on this and that, mostly poker, he is indeed a very good player with good results in the bag so always nice to talk.
He is also Danish, and they do know how to drink their beers, I actually didnt realize until this morning throwing bottles and cans away how hard we went on the beers those few hrs on the balcony, but no regrets, that’s not the way to live life!
The plan for the night is Dinner at a filthy expensive place with good food and good wine. That’s it.
Ah.. well that plan had so many faults after first beers so one can’t even count them.
He wants to see the casino, he and his girlfriend are moving here in few months so he want to be psychological prepared for the Maltese play……. Or something likes that anyway. And who am I to refuse a person to develop their senses! Can’t do that!
Soooo.. Change of plans,,, we decide quick dinner and play their 20 Euro rebuy at Dragonara, its buy in under what both me and him play but as they say in Denmark, we are there for the “ hygge” besides I gotta learn how to play proper even if it cost 1 Euro, this are one of my biggest weakness, that I can’t focus unless it hurts the valet.
BUT… first we say the magic words that mostly only spring out of an alcohol influenced brain.
LETS DO A ROCKET!
Yea baby! We are hot , we are good, we are just simply The best! So said and done, we pick a site, new one, new nick, new money. Remember we are like under time pressure here so we said rocket=1 hr. Then we close regardless result and go and enjoy food and casino. And we decide to be loose cannonballs….. But of course we feel we are close to Phil Ivey level and say THIS is a rocket, not a fecking grind hr!
Win or lose!
It went…… ok … after 55 min he increased his role gooooooooood, but are little bored.. so we close all tables, save one and say next hand we are all in regardless, yeaaa, that’s really mature thinking right?
85 off, GREAT! But we play them like big hand, and raise, got re raised, and then we just stick the whole lot in and say GGWP NH to ourselves smash our hands in the air like winners, yeaaa I know, we are really good. Lol not.
Anyway, we got called with KJ sooooooooooted, flop and 8 but with two of his colors so little scary, but WTF we are Phil Ivey right? Pete minimize the table so we can’t see (he always does that in big hands, I hate it, and scream and try to steal the mouse, he says it helps, one win more then hahahah, jeeesus)
But our 8 hold up, we write the standard: KJ ??????? in the chat, and get the standard: I was ahead. Like we don’t know that??? We leave and go eat!
OK… food, yea it was good, that small little fancy place on the way to Dragonara, like inside the area between gate and casino… but they must think we where retarded, because it was probably not a place to go and rush it, and it was not very cheap either and we come in there say heeeeeeeey feed us, and do it quick, give us what ever medium cooked (lol he looked at us as we where lunatics’ ) and we told him, -yes we can pour our wine and water ourselves, we stress eat and before they even pour the last from the wine bottle we say can we pay please. Donkaments, I almost felt bad, but we tipped. Not sure I go back though, but food was great!
So tourney are almost full, so good I called Françoise from restaurant and say am coming with a guest, he is a nice brush, and quite effective I feel when Leo the wrinkle little man start to drawl deciding if he is calling or folding his J5 off and it takes 5 min.
Anyway to cut to the end, Pete bust when 17 left, we where 37 starting I think. Am just below average and really no patient to sit there, I call all ins to right and left and suddenly we are final table, but am still not very ok in chips. Not that it bothers me much, first price is 600 Euro so it’s only that one who counts really, but it’s a nice feeling making 3 final tables in a row out there. And yesterday it was a new dealer I never had, and 100% the best one, so so effective and good. And surprisingly really really good at poker because in the breaks of the finaltable we discuss hands, he asked me some key hands, first I get little surprised but we start to discuss and he defiantly know his game, am impressed by his input actually. His name was Allessandro in case any of you know him?
And BTW both him and Françoise are now hired for my 30 ppl only girls tourney as dealers, now am only lacking one more dealer and a male bartender to serve us drinks! Come on guys. Anyone?
Some play on this final table are shockingly bad and one can just hope they keep their day jobs. But I change gears and slow down a bit until we are close to the famous bubble as that seems to be the key issue for most of them. Then I play any decent hand very aggressive and coming in as short stack on finaltable am now ok in chips. There is a German guy, I played him before and he sometimes play a hand perfectly good and then other times do things I completely don’t understand, but I can’t discuss with him and get to know how he thinks because his English are so bad. Anyway, he is lose aggressive and been acting like he own the table when we are 6 left, I haven’t picked up any card but suddenly I look down on AA for the first time, actually only had one big pair all tourney and that was KK during rebuy period where I double against JJ, anyway I limp them UTG, hoping the German guy from cut off to do his normal standard raise.
He does. I rerasie, he say all in, I call, boom… am chipleader.
Then poker isn’t hard.
I ended HU against Leo (those of you going there know him) and outplayed him, sounds bigheaded and am sorry for that, but I did, completely, I think he is scared for me even though he says he looooove me and leave his wife for me, lolament.
I call him sweetie and say he got no balls in poker and I can’t have a man like that. He is like 100yrs old or so.
Last hand:
I have grinded him down to 40k I got 150k ish. Mostly on bluffs and re steals, he don’t seem to be able to adjust and value his card different HU, remember that if playing him.
Blinds are 3k/6k, am SB and pick up 45 sooted.
I limp in, I know he will check so I can see a cheap flop here.
Flop 10-10-4, he check I bet out mini bet, didn’t think he call more than that and I was sure I was ahead with my 4. I wasn’t actually. He calls.
Turn: Q and now I got two of my suits out there. Nice.
He checks, and I do too, and here it got big discussion afterwards people railing wanted to know what we both meant with that check. Well for me it was easy, after all I only got a 4, come one. And I felt if I bet out here even small, I risk an all in from him and I have to call that one, and then suddenly I take him up to 80 k. Not sure I would have odds to fold to an all in on turn, with small hit and flush draw, but I might fold due to not wanting him to get enough chips to play back at me.
So free card - am glad for it.
But I his case, in his situation I would have gone all in on turn, that be the right move, in my brain. He has the 10.
River K and in my suit. So I hit my flush. He checks, I bet out a value bet of 10k leaving him with no option really then to fold or go all in. He go all in, I call and that’s it. AND Jesus Madonna what a discussion.. lol.. he says sorry darling I got the 10. Oh.. sorry I say and show my flush. We sit in the little room, they moved us so the cash gamer can smoke, and there are maybe 10-15 ppl railing and all sort of languages, jada jada, and I just tell him NH and that it played itself, you can’t get away one need to give them complimetns so they keep it up, but I think he should played it different, since he needed to build stack and HU with big blinds are good chips even preflop.
But HU are a lot about daring to move, not being scared to come second.
Anyway, 3 livefinal tables in a row, in less than a week and 2 win and one bubble, that’s ok, in my book, even if the price money isn’t very big its fun.
Let’s try again!

They say i get all the good gigs
Hola !
I just seen I got to be blog of the week, how in earth could that happen?
Ty ty, it’s a huge honor and I am not sure how to live up to that. But I try.
Does this BTW has something to do with the bottle of JD I send other day?
Great, glad it worked! Always nice when people understand the value and purpose of gifts, its shows intelligence :P
I been working a few year in this business so over the year I get some weird mails, I do save them in map called “weirdo’s” and there they lay nice and easy until the day am publishing my memories called: Behind the scenes in the Poker world :)\ or something boring, but listen, seriously some of these emails are just about so stupid you wouldn’t believe it, I think once a week I make one blog of morons email and chat, how about that?
So Tuesdays is a bit dull day, so let’s start today :)\ and we start off easy, with just some anger and smaller retards, not the worst, trust me I saved for years i can post many!
My job is defiantly not to sit and answer random support emails, but still now and then I pop into that email server and do, am fascinated on the amount of crap that comes in really, and I also know how frustrated it is as a player contacting a support and just get bullshit answers so when I replay those contacting me straight to my email, I really really try to help them and find solutions for them, I try HARD!.
This guy emailed me like 8 times, and I do my best to cheer him up and explain about variance, discussing hands ect ect, he send me about 20 Omaha hands lol, and I went through them all and gave my comments, finally he gave up, I especially like the way he refer to a random card generator as a ‘he’ that made me smile:
i dont know your generator and i really dont care about him...and also dont say me that on the other sites is the same cause i played on a lot of other sites and things that happening on your site i never see them!(i played on pokerstars, kspoker, everestpoker, 32red poker. pkr and i never face so many bad beats and stupid bad beats...) so i advice you to not lose more players check your software...
i gave you one chance 2 months ago...you fixed something and it was much more fair but you started again doing things that i cant stand them so i prefer to stop playing on your site!!
bye
xxxxxx
Then some time ago, the software had a big cut down and nothing we could do anything about, even though I tried to push it as much as I could and even rushed home from an live event cos my phone where totally going nuts so I needed my pc to find out what was wrong or at least replay everyone instantly so they get a proof of life:
I know you dont give shit, but as the servers has been running the last two days, I'm gone, damn you suck. Puta putana morons fucking retarded morons, start selling candy, thats not going to enoy poeple as much. Why you do this to me? Fucking retards, now i have to surf porn instead. And then i get computer viurus, and then who help me? Fuck off, you are a bunch of idiots forcing people to watch porn!
MORONS
But then occasionally you get nice emails, like Barbara she emails me regularly and want me to hire her for some modeling job (we have used girls a lot prior esepcially on our Danish market, Danes like that :P Danes are by far the most ho***** people in the world, sorry for the outspoken thinghy, but that’s just plain fact )
Anyway, back to Barbara, take a look, www.barbarazatler.com/bz/html/gallery.php?gallery=Lingerie
I dunno, is she worth hiring? She says she wants to met up in Cph next week, I don’t know, I mean, maybe I can ask some of the boys to do it for me but then again, will they be objective?
I do remember how it was when we hired Bimla for Danish championship 2007 to walk around and give massage and serve our players.www.bimla.se
She was a nice little chick, not much of a brainer though but relaxed and funny in her own way, she got a little tipsy, ( read pissed drunk) bless her, and I took her to ladies room to sober up and there she just out of the blue pop the magic question if I want to touch her boops, they clearly are operated, a donkey can see that and since those opportunities don’t come along too often unless your male I suddenly feel pulled between doing the right thing or doing the ‘go with the flow” thing you know like holding JJ preflop to UTG raise, UTG+1 rerasie and a third one sticking in… its hard but one should do the right thing.
Ah well, let’s just say this was the topic of the week in our office,the boys say it’s not fair, I always get the good gigs.
I know- it’s not fair lads, but who am I to complain?
Now i need to chase my vaccum cleaner and make the guestroom bed, casa laa mariane catrine Loley getting a mate from Denmark here for some meetings, is everything really dead closed tonight, or can i have some tip of nice resturangs, St . Julians area, we dont wanna go all serious and go to those i always take my meetings, we wanna relax, eat ok, drinks some beers, yada yada....or we might just go to casino and do some roulette, lol, he is veeeeeeery good at that!
Me .. i just stick to 34-36, i mean, come on ONE day ONE time, ONE time! I win.
Playe well, lads and girls!
/panna
NB: next time i show you a chat, a player who didnt know how to get his ID and Utillity bill inside the computer :)\ i though he really joked, but he was dead serious. He had no clue
I just seen I got to be blog of the week, how in earth could that happen?
Ty ty, it’s a huge honor and I am not sure how to live up to that. But I try.
Does this BTW has something to do with the bottle of JD I send other day?

Sunday, February 8
Working my way trough the drink list!
Yepps, Sunday, lovely bloody sunday, hungover, standard.
But I dunno maybe the drinks in Malta are all made by homebrewed black magic alcohol because considering the amount I drank yesterday I should be close to dead at least not fresh enough to type a blog.
Saturday afternoon started with a 50 euro one rebuy out on Dragonara, it kicks of 15;00 so plenty of time ….to get tipsy early.I wanted a back to back but didn’t succeed, money to 3 (we were only 16 starting) and I busted as nr 4.
Straight home and out with TT for a walk, quick shower and swooping cloths and jada jada things yea.
Meting up with the girls, about 20 ish ( yea after a while i belaive it was 20 actually, poker girls lol) of them, they been out for dinner and have now proceed to the cocktail stadium, lovely, just in right time for my entrence.
I decide to start on top of the list and work me down, so first in was Moijito, always a winner but this one tasted sick bad, omg, so bad! So had to finish that one asap and order next one, some red slimy thing, OK but not a repeater. Number 3 was a Cosmo, also a possible repeater but I figure I can’t put the repeat mode on this early in the list, that’s not fair to the other drinks that wanna be tested, Number 7 on the list wooooooooooow, have no clue what it was but heeeeyy it was good.. I repeated that one a few times. I still think they don’t put enough alcohol in, they think we don’t get that or?
Anyway, too early to go out, so we go home to someone’s apartment nearby to do our own drink list. Kind of.
This was THE most great apartment I ever been to in Malta or for that matter anywhere in the world. The person building it can no way been Maltese, no offense but they can’t plan an apartment this good, no way! i want it!
We party like rock stars here for a while and ops time is like 02. Or something i dont know. Okedoki, out to the Ibiza wanna be area, you know where. Else go for the smell, puke and piss. Really, thats how it smell. One gotta be wasted to stand it
It was ok, we got lazy so we stuck to one drink, but instead repeated it a lot,(the glasses are small here right, cos else i dont get it?)Very nice and easy when they set up tab, and I actually think the drinks are very cheap here, or maybe he just didn’t put them all up, cos no way I can drink this much and put several other chicks drinks on my tab as well in Sweden for that SUM! Ridiculous low after all.
But I think he might not put all up, he slide me his phone number on a note before we left and creepy tickled my hand with his finger, huuuuuaaaa.. dohhh.....Keep it baby, you where adorable cute and good on drinks but thanks, NO thanks.
Me and Em move on just the two of us, we need to dance, and so we did, we dance Salsa so my feet and hips are aching, why does it always feel like one been doing a marathon, and WHO gave me all thee bruzzes I simply don’t get it?
And who was the guy taking photos all the time of me and Em?? Sicko pervert, why take like 20 photos of people you don’t KNOW? Why? Don’t make sense, is he going to go home, cos he prop was here on vacation and say hey, I met these two girls, we hang with them all week? Morons.
Baaaaaaack to the bars, and here it’s time for the classic: itslateamlittletiredspeedmeup’ friend , yepps you guessed it, vodka redbull, still think they give you too little of the vodka and too much of the red bull, I said I want a double, he said then you need a bigger glass, AND?
Omg, just give me that then. What’s the problem?
Well, we wobbled, yea on high heels with a foot that just been fractured in 3 different directions and been relesead from foot jail and still hurt even though I ignore that and a drunken sweet Em on my armm i belaive in all fairness its called wobble, even on our most good concentrated moments it cant be any more graceful then that.
I manage to throw me in the backseat of a taxi and in a miracolous way say Manwel Demech between the hiccups BUT hey,, the old sweet man said:
-Si si Madam (he can say madam its okeeeeeeey) I know, A Green door Madam, up in hill, me know. He was indeed very sweet, he helped me, my keys for some reason where just not very cooperative.
Finally home and its bloody light outside and the bloody curtains didn’t help much so I do the only reasonable thing one can do drunk 06 in the morning, yeaaa we all know it, all been there, one say, ahhhh just a few minutes of poker!
Mega lolaments.
WHY does one never learn, I have to close one eye to even hit the buttons, jeeeeeeeeessus so stupid that is. I yell at my players doing such idiotic stuff but then do them myself , bhaaaaaa!
It takes 5 minutes, both my home phone and mobile rings. One of my Danish VIP’ players calling, he didn’t even say hi he just said: Panna log off, NOW.
Hahhahahahahahah….how sweet and in the home line it’s another one asking if am drunk or just retarded lol.
I answered him that at this stage am probably both.
PARTY like a rockstar out there my little darlings and i rail you on FT!
