Updates
June 14, 2007 by netssonIt’s been a long time since i reported how i’m doing in my quest of building a big bankroll! The past 2 days i have played 4 games. One freeroll wich i placed second giving me $15, the ladies game where i struck out early, wasn’t concentrating due to be in the $1 buyin $1500 guaranteed rebuy/addon at vegas at the same time. Did better there and placed 10th of 424 bringing me another $18 in winnings. The 4th game i’m still a bit p***ed about. was in 13th with 64 left off 450 when my ISP decided i had played enough and knocked me offline for over an hour. When i got back online i was kicked out of the game at 27th!! Well i got payed $12 for that place but still i could have won more. So in total i used $8 in buyins and won a total $45 in these 4 games so i should be and are pleased.
And i am giving it a go tonight again, so wish me luck
OK about work, can anyone explain to me how a company can first of all tell me to start a new office where i have to move across the country, invite me to a big kickoff and then a week later tell me that they are gonna close my office down? That i have to first move, start the office and be fully operational and fully booked with clients in a month otherwise it’s not economically defendable. I believe it’s a complete economic waste and impossible to evaluate after this short period of time! I’m not prepared to give away my valuable time on such company that waste their resources in this manners!
Anyone wanna give me a better job?
Well think positive and optimistic life to short to spend complaining about small irritable things! OK i’m done complaining, eager and prepared to win big tonight so shuffle up and deal!
for some reason unknown

May 31, 2007 by netssonOK I haven’t blogged in a long time now and i’m sorry for that!

We’ve to see tonight when the next game is on?
Tomorrow i’m of to Copenhagen to work. So i doubt i have time to play any poker!
Well i say taa-taa for now and be safe all
The ancient Viking-game of Påk’ar
May 13, 2007 by netsson
The Vikingscripts found around the VikingVillage of Birka tells us a lot about the game of Påk’ar and how they came to life
The great father of vikinggods Odin came to the great Viking-king Halvar Redbeard and said: Get my message out to the world that i have proclaimed the game of påk’ar as a way to Valhalla and a life after life as a demi-god beside me where the biggest reward is to rule the kingdom of all Games forever! Where there will be a neverending stream of the golden chips and sweet nectar of success if you learn the game well. I will lend you my army of Valkyrier who tend to your festivites you’ll set up in order to teach the world my wisdom of the game.So Redbeard set out with his army of påk’ar-trained men to give the rest of the world a challenge they named Verdandi Skuld of Påk’ar (Verdandi means the making of or that which is happening/becoming and skuld means necessity)
Eager to tell the world of all that his god have told him of what to come he and his men charged through the woods and over seas in search of true believers and followers to this glorious game.
They feared no danger when the mighty competitors put them all-in and in land after land they divided the competiton and conquered the opposition who preached of the danger of playing this game! The masses of followers grew and in folklore they became the påk’ar-gods beside Odin in Valhalla.
Halvar Redbeards grand-påk’ar man was a man called Beowulf and the story of his greatness is written down for us generations after to read about:
Hrothgar King of Denmark is haunted by the troll Grendel who proclaims to be the greatest påk’ar-player of all times, killed hrotgars men at the table with monsterhand after monsterhand
The Hero Beowulf arrives to Hrothgars castle with his 12 mighty påk’ar-fighters and it is explained that he is a relative to the king and he has come to slay the troll!
And Beowulf continues the monster isn’t using any other weapon than bluffing and fishing and I will stand beyond that and fight honestly with gentlemenship, heads-up
At the party wich was the grandopening of the big tournament Beowulf is put to his test by Unferth another relative to the king who is trying to unease Beowulf with insults and see to that his mighty concentration is broken. Beowulf proudly answers him and hurries to get his sleep. When they all are asleep after the opening party Grendel attacks the sleeping men to get Beowulf to play him with no sleep, drunk and tired.
Beowulf goes to heads-up with the monster Grendel and in the heat of the game Grendel ventures all he got and an arm in a big pot wich he looses. In despair and ashamed Grendel went into the nearby lake to drown himself. The arm and the rest of Grendels belonging puts up at display on the wall in the castle, The decision to play a clean game and not to use any other weapon than his knowledge, patience and wisdom is now proven to be a lucky-draw because they found out that every trick in the books are known to Grendel and wouldn’t have worked
The day after Beowulf is honoured by the king- It is obvious that Grendel couldn’t have survived this struggle. A bard minstrel a song where the mighty påk’ar-god Sigismund´s Adventures are tied together with this heroism of Beowulf
Again the festivities are echoing in the castle and again the fest is interrupted by horror when Grendels nameless mother shows up to claim her revenge for the shame her son was put through. She escapes when the big hero isn’t at the festivities but sleeping the ordeal of at a neighboring house.
Next day a troop of men went to the lake to finish off the haunting but only Beowulf dared to enter the house of Grendel and his nameless mother. In the house he found the mother with the corpse of Grendel and he challenged the mother to a heads-up where he used the magic of the cards to defeat her. The hero was celebrated according to the Nordic manors with golden bracelets and speeches and after the celebrations Beowulf and his men returned to the sea to return home
After returning home Beowulf inherited the Geaternas crown and became their king. Unfortunately after the rumors of his big game many came to challenge him and due to lack of time as a worshiped god and mighty king he had to refuse them all except some sitngoes before bedtime. After some time a big dragon came to haunt him when he refused to play this monkey of a dragon as he called him. The dragon in rage went out and destroyed the kingdom and killed off one by one of the mighty påk’arplayer-men that had been playing in Beowulfs mighty team.
The King Beowulf is disgusted and in despair over this horrific doing paid the dragon a visit in his dungeon with a troop of his bravest men. Gets into a heads-up and it ended with no winner at all, it was a tie
The King asked his men who dares to join him in a sitngo with him and the dragon for a rematch and only one man answers yes I follow, yes I play and that was a young apprentice named Wiglaf.
When the game starts unfortunately Wiglaf panics when looking upon his pocket aces, don’t really know how to play them and folds, the dragon went allin after the flop, Beowulf calls with Big slick. Showdown of the dragons quads wounded Beowulf real bad but with final strength Beowulf shows the Royal straight flush after the river and that kills the dragon. Seriously wounded Beowulf get carried out of the dungeon by Wiglaf who prophecies that his people would carry on the påk’arfighting worldwide and Beowulf dies. He buries with all the treasures from the dragon facing the mighty casino of Monaco
And so ends the story of the Mighty Påk’arViking Beowulf
Our King! Our Hero
So Vikings fear No-one on the contrary we seek out trouble! We divide and conquer with Odin, Beowulf and the mighty Valkyriers on our side!
Tremble with fear all of you who meets us – tremble with fear!
Gopher
May 11, 2007 by netssonPointed out something really good in gophers blog and got me to think really hard! He said that it’s good to go back and read some of your old posts and entries to analyze and pinpoint why or where the games isn’t going as you plan them to! I now know why i haven’t performed at my best lately! It is actually a simple answer to that and i’m not proud of it! It’s because i haven’t been really hungry and up for it with all the new stuff going on around me! I have missed this certain 
wich is a necessasity to do well in poker
Me who talked so much about patience and discipline aren’t following my own advices and rules! I’m ashamed!
I have entered games with the right intentions and reasons but after an hour been looking at the clock, feeling really stressed because i have to get up to work, haven’t prepared my work or thousands of other things flying around in my mind! And all i have felt then is oboy how do I end this game as quickly as possible….. oh geeee right intention-wrong timing can make anyone to be an easy target and loose money so this past week i have decided to not play anything but the sitngo challenge we have in the pokerchipsquad forum.
You really have to read blaggers blog about the Blasphemers name OMG still laughing so much my face and stomach hurts, I can’t even imaging where he gets all this from.
And all started with “Viking have never been afraid of trouble! On the contrary we seek out trouble and welcome it so…. Divide and Conquer is our motto“
It kind of feels sooooooo nice to be an inspiration to people 
Beginning to settle in
May 4, 2007 by netssonmy old hometown were i grew up. The journey up was an adventure in itself wich began with a flat tire and a fully packed car! Had to unload in the middle of nowhere and put on the spare tire. At the shop buyin a new one they tried to put a new tire on a to small rim. They told me that there is nowhere to be found a rim that suits my car so i told them to put a new tire on the spare-rim instead cause the old one was broken. It took them 3 hours to do so but i got it cheap so i’m not complaining!
Tried to play one nlholdem sitngo yesterday and a 7 stud h/l sitngo today but it really didn’t work out well for me. I didn’t find the right mood for it! Felt tired and not focused at all so i’m taking the night off poker and focusing on getting into it tomorrow!
See ya all soon
Some pokerfree days
April 30, 2007 by netssonI’m taking some pokerfree days now. I have to move up north because of my new job requires this! Unfortunately it also keeps me from writing in my blog. But i’ll be back soon again
So until then buh-bye and play great poker!
Last nights vip-tournament
April 23, 2007 by netssonOK I can’t enough tell you all what patience, confidence and to know it ain’t over until the fat lady sings (last hand is lost) means, i can give you a very nice example that happened last night!
I was really yo-yoing up and down the list last night and pushed allin with my pocket jacks and some 12000 chips (I know it sounds stupid but you never know with Ash and i had put him on pocket 8s or 9s for some reason) against Ashmaniac (fellow-member of PCS) and his some 10500 he showed me pocket queens. Oooops! At that point we were 23 left in the tournament and i suddenly found myself very lowstacked with 1600 left and last position.
Ok told myself it wasn’t over yet, breathe and start over fresh! Played solid, with patience and conviction that i was gonna make it back. The blinds were devastatingly high at that point so i had to push real hard and started to slowly move back again up the list! Came to some 4500 chips and caught ace jack. Pushed that hand allin since the BB came to be 500/1000 on Ashmaniac’s BB. He called and showed pocket 9s.
woohoo caught the ace on the river and was back in the game again up to 9000! 
I got lucky I know!
This mental strategy made me end up in third place and with a profit!
With this i wanna say to you if you play solid, with patience and real thoughtfulness, be disciplened you can turn a game wich at a point seems hard, negative and make you wanna give up!
Never ever give up! fight back!
And Ashmaniac you can try to “verbally abuse” me as much as you want, i can take it and it wount work In fact it makes me even more determined to win and that i enjoy, I love it!
(Your “verbal abuse” sounds more like a Putty-cat) 
Been away for a week
April 21, 2007 by netssonOK i’ve been away for over a week in business. Had to travel to the other end of Sweden Gothenburg and work with a colleague! And Man how i love to fly! When the plane made it’s takeoff i laughed all the way up in the air! The flight back where even more fun due to the winds, it felt like the best rollercoaster in the world and the plane came down almost with a broadside and with one wing tilting downwards a bit! The pilot had to struggle real hard with the upwinds and i really felt alive! I’m a adrenaline-junky getting high from all things that can accelerate like cars, planes and some rollercoasters! Been racing gocarts and cars for some years now.
All the landing i was thinking oboy what can top this and came to the conclusion i got to buy me a dragster and drive it so now to my question how to pay for it! It is cheaper than buying a 747 and employing a flight-crew, be a regular on flights just for fun or buy a ticket on next spaceshuttle but still to expensive for me at the moment and my own gocart well wonder if it’s enough
Oboy how spoiled I feel having such a problem… well i’s not a problem but that flight were the most exciting thing i ever experienced
On to poker!
Yesterday evening I really tried to build up my patience in the first tournament a $2.50 limit holdem with 130 registered i went out as number 27 but after that flight i felt kind of bored with poker so after another $2.50 buyin sitngo wich i kind of threw away (yeah i know, i know my discipline went out the window) i decided to shut down the pokergames for a day!
It’s not a good feeling to just give away my hard earned money without a fight and i had a long, long discussion with myself over how stupid that was! Wonder what my neighbours think of me yelling and arguing with myself here! Well lesson learned!
Swedish poker ladies team event
i played the team event this thursday and got 5th! After being chipleader and second for the first hour and 45 min, playing solid and strategic we were down to 5 players! Chipleader had some 11000 and me 3500, I sat in position of the chipleader and should have done much better but my cards went totally cold when the blinds went up to 250/500 with an ante of 100!
That fact kind of ate my stack and when i was down to 1800 i felt i had to do something and went allin with the most deacent hand i have had for a long time 10 j of diamonds, up came 8d-qd-ace of hearts. I had straight, flush and straigh-flush draw but the 2 cards that came on turn and river totally demolished me and my chances when rag, rag came and none a diamond. Chipleader won with a pair of aces and i hit the pavement outside so hard my booootie hurts even today!
Hmmmm kind of disappointed because diamonds usually don’t let me down! But everything has to have a first time!
Well i have 4 more chances in this tournament and next time I WILL take this down!
Buh-bye to next time
