Back in Europe :p

Yeah after staying almost a year in Asia, it's my temporary return to the motherland Belgium.. it has been a very exciting time though, visiting Cambodia, Laos, Macau, Vietnam, and so on... it has been extremely fun and exciting, however, I haven't been grinding that much as I am supposed to, which clearly affected my game and level at the moment..

since my return to Belgium, I'm sitting in a downswing, yes I'm running below EV but still, I'm not very happy with the way I'm playing either, can't seem to stay focused for a longer period of time and swings are affecting my mood a lot more.. I think I seriously need to focus more on myself and my play in forthcoming period because I feel pretty upset about it :(

so this week I've just been playing MTT's just for fun, shipped 1 on the first day (out of 7 totally played), final tabled 2 (out of 5 played) on the second day, but busted out 8th position on both due to severely bad beats (KK lost to AQ and AA lost to 75) and then on the 3rd day I only played 1 MTT and final tabled it and busted out 7th position (A9 lost against K9), 4th day I also only played one and busted out very fast (AQ, flopped a Q but he rivered a K and 3 outered me with AK that he couldn't fold on the flopshove)

I've been playing in the Thailand HU Challenge 2009 also, which is just for fun and bragging rights ofcourse, and luckboxed my way through the semi-finals now.. you can see the brackets here: http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=335321 and the thread on the 2+2 forums.

enjoying my time here in Belgium and then it's up to Boston USA..

ship!
