dedicated work

I have been grinding a ton again lately and I think I am back where I have left off before last year. Dedicated again, and having several lockdown and 12 hour grinding days again.. been running terrible but in the end always seems to be clocking profit, so I guess I should not be complaining :) Further on I have been preparing myself for the trip to China and Macau this week, I am leaving this Saturday and will be grinding live and hopefully bring the Macau Millions Cup back home ;) I think it's due time that I get lucky once hehe ;)

I got lucky before actually already because it appears I still needed to go to school to apply for my Student Visa extension papers, and I would have never gone to the school if I wasn't planning on going to Macau in the first place, so that would mean I would have to throw away another visa, which would be my second one lol. Would be a very tilting thing :D So basically by spending money on the trip, I saved money on the visa, so freeroll? lol

I have been making videos lately for my friends back in Belgium to help them ease into their new part time poker carreer, hope they appreciate the work, because it really is very time consuming.. not only the making of it but also the follow up. I think they will be ready soon in a few weeks to actually start playing a hand ;) but that would definitely mean a ton more follow up.

Will be having a friend from Singapore flying over tomorrow, so I will probably hang out with him for a bit instead of going to my regular two times a week football session. Get ready with the packing of my stuff and try to wake up in time Saturday morning around 4 am to catch my flight :) The buy in for the main event is very small, so I won't be selling out any action.. time for a hit though ;)

good luck

recovery run

Had the worst afternoon session yesterday, lost 3 pots who were all about 4K$ against this guy who was running hotter then hell... each time was the same scenario. I would flop two pair on the flop and he would flop a flushdraw and just jam it all in... but he hit 3 times in a row. I was like sigh... but then the sickest moment came when this huge fish came down doubled up and we both had 4k$ stacks and he wanted to make a play 4 betted my raise, I 5 betted with AA and he jammed, I snapped he showed 23o... flop 2 6 8 rainbow, then K on turn and BINK 3 on the river. Almost wanted to throw my laptop!! sick freaking hell 8k$ pot gone just like that.. mark that as the biggest losing pot of the year 2011 lol. So in the end I was stuck about over 10k$ total. So much sigh, I quit playing and went to bed.. ofcourse couldn't sleep but I took a rest of about an hour or two.. then went back and did a marathon session (grinded 16 hours total) to end up with making back about 8k$ (had a sick 8k$ stack on the nl2k tables at one point) and then today I managed to make a sick call with A high on a 4K$ pot.. sick adrenaline rush after that.. totally super FISTPUMP!!

So now im slightly up for the week. Oh yeah.. not touching poker for today anymore.. just gonna watch a movie, well if that superfish doesn't sit down again haha... anyways gonna get ready for footie :) have a good one fellas.

not the hottest run

Been playing steadily again, putting in the hours.. but it is pretty annoying when you see all your profits go away by running terrible.. had a decent afternoon session to lose almost over half of it during the evening session :( ran KK vs AA twice and set over set twice and then my turned nutflush got owned by set that river paired up, total good for dropping 5 buy ins :/

Not only have I have been picking up more hands and more hours at the tables, I have been playing twice a week football again also, think I will get a good condition and form back in a few months, be afraid lol -_-'

Beginning of next month I'm probably moving to Macau for a week to play the Macau Millions Cup and maybe a few days of degenning in Hong Kong / China ;) Hope I finally will score a big one, and be a lucky koala ;) for the rest I'm gonna keep putting in the hours to coach my friends, which I must say have been steadily improving vastly and ofcourse keep working hard at the tables crushing the asian fish that are around :D

wish you all the best
