Hi all,

Uh, I totally forgot to update this blog. Well, haven't updated the others either so I guess I was just lazy. Working for PS.com, even if I'm there part time (or should be) , consumes a lot of time. Not only for being there but because when I get home after chilling a bit I can't play a lot as I'm not gonna go to sleep at 4-5am as I used to bc gotta wake up in the morning. However, as I had a downswing at the end of the month, I'm trying to play 'as much as I can' these days so that I got it back.
November started 5k down but finally my SD winnings are going up again:

I'm still around 15 BI down after the down (a bit more in $ because I lost at NL1K-NL600 and I'm winning at NL400), but I'm confident now as the blue line is where it should be. Difference with EV is a bit crazy: I was 15 stacks over EV, then 20 under EV and now just slightly under EV. But don't care much about it anyway, it's just ''''funny'''' to check it.

This was about the graph. As Siete said, we are going to Argentina in two weeks as there's a VIP event of the Spanish Community (if anyone around is living/wanna go there, let us know!) and I've never been there so I thought it was a very good opportunity even if it's only for a few days Party is gonna be good (Argentina people have promised me:D). Talking about parties, last weekend we started drinking a lot at my place in Gibraltar and ended up picking taxis to go to Estepona (to a disco there). Crazy and nice night ♦

Maybe I should post some hands to finish this post

Some bluffcatching:

Semi-fish guy: I think he will only value bet KQ there and two pair. So, not such a tough call IMO:

Im gonna fly in 2 days to Zürich for a few days for some busniess, afterwards back to gib and then (probably) to buenos aires with my mates here dani, erick and samy, beside some other employees of the spanish community of ps.com. Im gonna spend xmas and the new year in Gibraltar cauz I got to grind till the 31st of december. Im on 730 k VPP, made 110 k VPP so far this month.

Best regards Siete

Nice comeback ED!

I'm not playing much this month but it's going gr8 anyway. Prob won't play much more bc got some plans this weekend + I'm flying to Argentina (as Ed explained) on wednesday from the 23th to the 28th, which means 0 time for grinding. Not that I'm worried about though!

Would be nice if I got time to win 10k$ by the end of the month (taking into consideration that I don't have much time this is not so ez). Also, whenever I got time to play 5-7k hands more I will get the 4k$ bonus and I will be close to 600k VPPs which is something like 3.8k$ more I think. Won't achieve it this month though, but still I'm happy about it.

Apart from that, I hate the fact that I've been playing NL400 lately. Didn't have bankroll on Stars (as I cashed out a lot) and couldn't open higher tables. So, missed the opportunity to win a bit more.

BTW, I'm like 30 BI up in NL400 and I'm not even in the TOP50 at PTR, kinda sick/funny. But who cares, as long as it's in my cashier!

Kr,

Samy

Hey guys!

I was in Zuerich for a few days for business reasons (I run a company beside playing poker and always try to search for investment opportunities like venture capital which was the reason this time). Had a really nice hotel with view on the city and sea in Zuerich. If you guys havent been there so far, you should visit it, its a rly nice place. Planned to grind there as well but the bad influence of drugs and women changed my mind so I played like 500 hands the whole weekend. Now Im back in gib and played like 15 k hands last 2 days. Im running kind of bad, but obv. thats complaining on a high level (if that saying exists). Already 13 k $ under EV this month. Im still v motivated for the 5 weeks to come. And Im looking forward to Argentina / Buenos Aires, its gonna be epic!

Here u got pics with my iPhone.

Thats the sunset from my flat in Gibraltar. On the left side you see Morocco, on the other side the southern coast of Spain.

Me vs samy in Fifa12. Im Milan obv! He wanted to bet money, but I did not want to rip him off cauz I was 100 % sure Ill kicks his ass. So we only played for 10 $ and I offered him 5 to 1 to be a little fair for him.

View over Zuerich from my hotel room

Thats how a waiting room looks like in Zuerich. There are VIP areas in german airports that look worse!

My dog, hes a cool guy, u gotta love him. (id still sell for him for 100 €. If s.o. interested, plz send me a pvt. message, chinese restaurant owners as buyers are welcome!)

Ah, I forgot, this is a pokerblog!

villain is a pretty good regular. He thinks Im v v weak though for whatever reasons. ♦ Always flaming me on the tables and blablabla. This is really stupid cauz when people do that they dont induce tilt. But they induce 100 % concentration and focus in my game against them. He messed with the wrong guy. Obv. I showed the bluff. ♦

why would you sell that dog bud ? ♠

My dog would eat your dog ♠_cool:

But I bet your dog is far better behaved than my dog

Did you call a retard fucktard just that?

great life, thanks for inspiration.

Siete, u got ps3 in the apartment? do u have nhl in there too? i wanna play vs u when in Gib!

like the limit to ur love song also, very much.

KQ hand is insane, very interesting. Y, makes sense he folds a str8, since flush is much more in ur range then his, and esp after his 3bet on R, had he put u on a low flush and thinks u re weak, he alw showes his big flushes, was this what u were thinking too?. (and he cant have many low since PF overcalling i d estimate)

gl, all the best to all of u
