Poker is a game of skill

The cards in poker is random, but you can make the odds in your favor,
which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill.

Play your cards right, and you'll be the winner in the long run.

WBCOOP ME: Running

The Main Event has been kicked off!
More than 2000 bloggers are playing the main event. Good luck everyone, you'll need it ;)

I'm danish

In case you're wondering why I misspell a lot of words; it's because I'm danish, and english is a foreign language. Plus I'm writing 100 words per minute, and I don't check the articles for mistakes.

WBCOOP Event #2: All-in

Just won all-in vs shortstack. AAQx vs AAKx. Luckily I outdrew him.

WBCOOP Event #2: Monsterflop

All-in on the flop ;)
Pretty nice to flop the broadway straight and a set (draw to house in case I'm against a flushdraw or the broadway).
I wish another of those flops would come soon ;)

WBCOOP Event #1: Winner

Congrats to devlsbnkroll the winner of Event #1, and a $1050 SCOOP Entry. ;)

WBCOOP Event #2: Tournament status

DONKFIGHTER currently leads with 50k chips.
But I'm commin' for him ;)

Weird plays

I've been noticing a lot of very weird plays. I guess that's what happens in a freeroll.
My opponent decided to call my river bet instead of raising, when he had the nuts. Obviously it's pretty nice for me, but it still doesn't make much sense :D.
Earlier a guy without anything, decided to call my river bet.

Boku87 and Goral still in

A few good players still seem to be playing. Luckily I got position on Goral ;D.

WBCOOP Event #2

Won a 8k pot ;)
I hope I can go deep in this :P

First live tournament

Going to Prague to play my first live tournament ;) Or atleast my first "big" live tournament. Total worth of package: 1300 euro.
From 1 euro to 1300 euro :) Pretty good return on investment.

Cash game?

I've never taken cash game serious, niether have a played a sample of hands that really matters, here's my 2009 graph. I've had quite a downswing in the last hands, and I know why: Playing way too loose. But just couldn't take it seriously enough.

poker pro labs vs sharkscope?

These two are old graphs of mine, but the funny thing is, that the two graphs is over the same tournaments on the same sites. That's wierd!

T-Shirt shop

I've started a T-Shirt shop at http://the-playa.shirtcity.com/ so please buy one of these cool t-shirts and support me!

Rebuy or rebye?

I am going to play a lot of rebuy tournaments in the upcomming time on PokerStars, I like them, because you can rebuy in case that you should bust out, and also that the prize in them gets really huge, due to players who bust out a lot and rebuys. The value in these tournaments is massive.

How to get TLB points on a budget (danish)

I've uploaded some graphs for guys who want to make top 1000 in the TLB (Tournament Leader Board, on PokerStars) with a small bankroll ;)

Too much fastfood!

I've been eating way too much fastfood recently, poker and fastfood, it's okay for the first couple of weeks, but it gets boring in the long run. You gotta mix it up!

I'm going on a diet, my goal is to get more fit, and secondly lose some of those unwaited pounds.

I started at DTU (Technical University of Denmark)

So I'll spend less time on poker now, and more time at school :)

In 3,5 year maybe I'll be an IT engineer, who knows!

Lasse busted, but we're still having fun

What a cold deck! AK vs KK vs AA and, and that's the end of this chapter. But we're still having fun, but we're not going to follow the tournament anymore. We'll go to the casino at Conrad's and play some cash game! Hopefully win some $$$ ;)

Cya next year!

I really met a lot of nice guys here, and also some celebrity pokerplayers, like Greg Raymer, Barry Greenstein and so on, I'll never forget it ;)

Arrived at the LAPT

We have arrived at the Mantra resort, it's the finest hotel I've ever seen. By to be honest, I really don't like to have my assed kissed, I don't need it. At the first break, Lasse is one of the tournament leaders! He says he has around 26k chips! And everyone we met is very excited on his behalf. I really hope he makes it far.

No respect on the pokerscene

Is it just me, or is many online pokerplayers assholes? Most of the players that are assholes and call other players for morons, fishes or so, is playing really bad themselves, often when I look a player up (officialpokerrankings) who calls everybody a donk, he is for sure running really bad or just playing bad :)

Punta Del Este here I come!

I am going to the lovely Punta Del Este, Uruguay with my friend. He is going to play the LAPT (Latin American Poker Tour) and I'm going to be his railbird! I am looking forward to celebrate his LAPT victory. No matter what this is going to be great! My friend won an online qualifier at PokerStars.

Folding QQ?

Yes, I finally did it for the first time!
Folding QQ on the button, without action, for the first time ever to win satalite :) Yiha!
Nr.1 tie ;)

Playing a 50k granded tournament with my friend on Full Tilt Poker

I was bored today, and I have been playing microstakes poker for a while, and I've decided to up the stakes a bit. So today I joined a 55$ 50k granded tournament on Full Tilt Poker. I asked my friend on ventrilo if he would play poker with me, even though I knew he didn't really like to play at FTP. He was kinda bored too, so he said yes, and we played the tournament. I played passively for a couple of hours, and then busted out, and my friend said for fun, if he'd win, he'd give me 100$, but I didn't really think he would. Like 6:50 hours later he had won it all, and I was happily 100$ richer aswell!

Congratulations to my friend Lasse, for winning 9555$!

Counter-Strike

Damn, I'm whooping ass in Counter-Strike! I pwn ya bitches so frickin' hard. That's all folks ;D
