Very little has happened poker-wise since last update, the grinds have ended up around breakeven, slightly positive expected valuewise. I've also played some really tough HU opposition a bit like cole south, jungleman, tibster, tycon87. My PLO HU game is definitely behind my 6max one, it's good to play against very good players every once in a while to learn, but prolly gonna try to game-select a bit better now for a while. I'm leaving for Miami this saturday with my family, looking to learn to surf and have a short break from poker!

Also been looking on cars a bit lately, but haven't really decided about anything yet, I've always dreamt about some kind of smooth cabriolet, and the summer will shortly be over in finland so perhaps it'd be smarter to buy one next Spring. The tax on cars is just ridiculously high in Finland, like 50%+? more to the price. Carrera 4s would prolly be my choice if I had to decide right now, but just looked at some under 20 000km driven Aston Martins and the price wasnt that bad. From what I heard ferraris can't even be driven in finland, unless you wanna hear shit in the traffic every day, finnish people are very jealous... I'll keep you updated if there is any progress :)

First of all the best hand in a while against Ville "nuts" Haavisto

I call the turn knowing I'm drawing to 1 out but have great implied slowrolling odds, on the river I time down to 1 second http://www.pokerhand.org/?5572971

Some big hands from grinds

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5572757 my nut straight + set is a nice 48% underdog, we run it twice and I lose, nice 900bb pot going the wrong way

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5572761 after looking back at this hand, sunra prolly has aces too rarely with the bet-sizing for my coldcall to be good, if the 2s was a more connected I'd like it. Anyway I was 35% 3way so result-wise the right call, Postflop obv plays itself

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5572764 some 100/200 cap hands where i run goot

big EU site pots:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5572766

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5572767 this guy was on extreme tilt 3betting like 70% over 50 hands, Flop is still prolly fairly close between a checkback, but don't think pot/calling can be too bad, I get him to fold that kind of hand for ex if he doesnt have the FD

 

ps. last time I give an interview for anything else but poker media, somehow they always end up making me sound like a bragging asshole

 

GL at the tables!
