Feel it up the spine

I really have to admit that I have troubles accepting variance in poker, not that I do not understand that it´s somehting that is a natural part of the game or such, but it´s the fact that the bad runs for some reason always seem to come in groups.

And not losing vs a 3out shove here or there but instead you get a session where you lose vs every 3out there is, and after that there is yet another and another and another, and it´s at this point where I start feeling that creepy feeling that you can define as tilt, and even though I might throw a few thing or punch the wall, the monitor or what ever is close I do not start jamming 93 off or spewing like a mf:er.

So in that sence of speak it´s not tilt, but it still effects me in a bad way, since I get more inclined to either not play at all or play too much, both which is a bad thing.

But I´m glad to say that I at least do not let it effect my game and my choices at the table :)

And ofc it effects me even more since I play way above my bankroll, which is something I need to remedy by going down in stakes or finding a backer to stake me, but I feel it´s not easy to find someone to back me, but I´ll try and send a few applications out and see.

Any of you sng grinders out there know of a stable that is looking for another 9max sng horse, just let me know.

Until next time, take care and good luck.

Woot woot

Computers in place, daily routine about to become somewhat regular from monday, since G is gonna drag me to the gym, and today he asked me if it was ok to start with 4 days a week, which was about 3 days more than I was thinking, but ok.

I´ve also booked a session with a SNG coach for thursday and it´s gonna be interesting to see what he has to say about my game (or lack thereof).

I know I´m very weak and have big leaks when we are down to playing for the money spots, but I hope he will find more things that I need to improve on, and help me with those issues.

I´m gonna try and play a few satellites in the coming weeks, gonna try for seats to EMOP, iGaming Open, SM at Cosmopol in Sweden and perhaps WSOP if I find a nice satellite.

Still has not seen anything from Pokerstars when it comes to a supersatellite for the WSOP main event.


And regarding the future and the coming fall there are a few ideas, which all requires a bigger bankroll than I´ve got at the moment.

One option is Macau, which I do not feel that much for, since they do not offer alot of tourneys with smaller buyins, and I also feel it to be a must to learn the language if going there, and I am doubtful I feel that energy.


Second option is São Paulo, and I would love to go to Brazil someday, but I also feel the same for Brazil as for Macau, that learning the language is pretty important in order to get a good experience. 
Even though from what I´ve heard, Brazil could offer good games, both cash and mtts. 




Third option is Las Vegas, and from experience I have a hard time finding anything wrong with staying a few months in LV. 

But since the gaming laws in the states is holding a hold on online gaming there would be some trouble to be able to keep up with the regular online grind.
So in order to be sure to be able to play while in LV, the best option would be to become a regular at Svenska Spel, since they have no issues with IP adresses.


The biggest problem in all of these cases though is getting the bankroll up and steady enough to be able to go for a few months, and I´ll do my best in that regard.

The next issue would be getting enough people interested in going, and even though I know alot of people that would love to go, there is probably the same problems for the most of those people, having a bankroll to go or having the time to go, since some of them has commitments at home.

I will still try and collect a few lost causes and see what we can come up with.

Roots.

Back on track in Sweden, or what you call it. 

Moved in to a small apartment that is a bit below acceptable standard, but since I´m a person that is a bit below acceptable standard it suits me ok, at least for the summer, and then I´ll have to see how things look on the financial side, but up to that point I´ll keep my ass here and keep grinding poker. 

I´m not sure I´ve mentioned it before, but I´m now back to my roots, where it all started, 9max sngs... however not on Ladbrokes, but on Pokerstars.
I have no idea of what to expect when it comes to ROI, so I´ll just try it out for a while and see how the balance look after a while. 

Got to work hard if I´m gonna go past my 2 friends G and Fisfarfar when it comes to winnings in SnGs, but hey, I´m up for a challenge haha. 

Now time to put some hours down again.

Take care and see you soon.
