I started playing a bit on pokerstars this week as I am in Stockholm, sweden and can’t install my usual boss-media shit on my work laptop.
Stockhollm
Stockholm.. Niiiice place, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice ladies.

So I played the $50 buy-in $80,000 guaranteed, and managed to hack my way thru the (uber soft) field. 3 handed I had 3.5mill to 2 mill to like 700k (retard), then retard runs good (total herocalling station with no fold button btw) and I end up headsup with the idiot. Of course he doesn’t ever fold so my usual headsup strategy of pot control and postional play is useless. Minring in position is just a waste too and cbetting is a no-no as he calls everything, seriously. So anyway he chips me down a bit, then I get rivered in the most ridiculous hand ever.

I had some cool railers from 2p2 MTT community (<3), my forum (ukgf) and some of my msn poker buddies which is always fun when you final table a biggie.

So REAL quick report of the last month:

1- moved to London for sicko job / networking and to be near the big poker games. winner.

2- started sicko job (SEO chillax job)

3- Got out of work for a bit of a skive while the Unibet Open was on in the vic in london, ended up working there interviewing players, doing live webcast and stuff and commentating on the feature table on day 2 right down to the final table for live stream and DVD which I guess might make it onto pokertube too. I interviewed Mike McDonald Timex (holla), Lucy Rockach (fail interview srlsy – I was talking about a different hand than she rambles on about I swear..), james sudworth, michael greco (still high off his $250k win at WSOP) and some others, some of the vids are on http://youtube.com/unibetopen, some are still in the digital ether for now. I was amazed at how irish I sound despite 10 years living in Scotland. ach well :) Oh I also Interviewed miss belgium 2008. no Idea where the interview went, this sure isn’t it. BTW the unibet open had sickest struct ever 10k stack, 60 min levels and a managable 2.5k buyin iirc. Next event in Prague, I’ll try to get a seat sorted I think.

4- some good spinups at poker and the usual carnage KKK no good etc. – thx @ betfair who gave me a free $100 to come back to play on their “interesting” poker client. anyway I managed to spin that up headsup 100nl to 650$ last night in <1 hr. such fun.

5- oh yeh just heard today my old chums at CelebPoker are moving to iPoker, so looks like I will have to find a new boss skin to play on.

More some other time when something interesting happens!
