On the other side of 40!

LIFE

Yeah it’s true, I have actually ran passed the first 40 years of my life. Well, more like crawled in a slight fetal position and with a minor brain injury, or at least that is how I would classify the life so far.

It has basically been a huge failure if I am to be honest with myself, which we all have to be from time to time.

The fact that I am 40 years old and basically broke is to me a testament that something has been done incorrectly, be it financially and/or socially or what, I can still accept that it could and should have been handled in a different manor.

That being said, that is as much time as I will spend dwelling on that shit, thinking about it will not get me in a better mood or bring me any fortunes, so let us put it behind us and at least TRY and learn from it, and let us see if the next 40 years could be handled in a better way J

This is not me putting up any goals or other targets that I aim to reach, but more of me trying to tell myself that something need to change.

Should I decide to set any goals going forward, I will share them with you all here on the blog or in any other way.

My best friend Niklas think that I should start a youtube vlog and start a weightloss journey, however I am not the most confident person when it comes to filming myself, or talking on camera, well at least not sober. For the moment that is only in the back of my mind.


POKER

What else is going on… not much really, October has been the poorest of months in the last year or years, and this due to some unexpected expenses, which hopefully will be solved in the next few weeks to a month.

This also mean that my plans for playing Battle of Malta 2017 has been going from set in stone, to the stone start crumbling and at the moment it is more like scribbling in the clouds and could easily disappear to become a try in the satellite and see how that go.

Totti and Antoine treated me to a present for my 40th birthday and bought me into Pokerstars Megastack tournament at Casino Portomaso and we played Day 1a on Thursday 19th. 

It started with me pissing away half of my stack and then having to get into the grind mode for a bit. 
Luckily there are always a few nice spots at the table and I managed to catch and hit against the right spots and built it up to be the chipleader on our table for a bit.

Sadly, the rush faded and next time where I finally felt I had a nice hand was when UTG+2 opened to 4500 on blinds 800-1600 and 300 antes. 

I looked down at AK of diamonds and my stack at this point was around 75-80k, I decided to 3bet to 12500. 
Action folds back to him and he moves it all in, and I call it off and he has 2 black Aces and I am out. 

Not sure if anything else I should have done in that spot, but if you have input, then please let me know. 


Being basically broke has also meant that I have not played anything on Svenska Spel or any other places, and once I have bounced back on my feet I am looking forward to battling my way back into the top20 list on Sharkscope for MTTs on Svenska Spel. 

With that said, I probably should study a bit more of poker as well, and stop being so darn fucking lazy with that as with everything else. 

Now I will try and pass off a few hours and then perhaps me and Totti will be going up to Portomaso Restaurant where Totti had been promised a free dinner for 2, and invited me, and who am I to say no to free food.

Until next time, take care people.
