Run, run!
Just got to Kuala Lumpur. Had to get out of Thailand to get a new 30 days Visa. Back in Phuket tomorrow and then we'll head out to Koh Phangan and Full Moon. Great fun last time! Time for a sequel.
Just D!
Grattis Sverige!
Swam with sharks?
As you probably know I spend a week in Macau a month ago. If was kinda pissed because I did not win the sum of money that I expected. I thought the opponents where weak. I guess I was wrong. BIG time!
Now afterwards I understand that I played against several real good, high stakes players. It all started when I got my hands on Baller Magazine and found out that one of the guys I played with were Gordon Huntly. Gordon finished 2nd in the APPT Pokerstars Manila and won $ 166 800.
Three other guys I played with were Pokerstars Team Asia members....
To top it off I also played against professional players from all the Nordic countries.
I guess my result was not that bad after all...

Ladies and Gentlemen...
...this is a cruel badbeat.
I raise with JQs from the button. Big blind make a nerdy gayraise with his sevens, I call. The flop hands me top two pair. I bet, he calls!? The turn open up a flush draw for me and I raise again, he moves all in. He got 5 % chance (1 in 20) of winning.
The lucky bastard catch one of the two remaining sevens in the deck and bust me out. Just sick.
I just can't believe why bad luck always taunt me. Later on it strikes again, all in on flopp, he chase and draw out on a backdoor flush. All in with Top pair and the middle pair make trips, Pocket Kings all in pre flop and ATo sucks out etc etc.
It's just so fucking annoying to repeatedly loose a lot of money due to Frau Fortuna's mocking game.

Två finalbord på en dag om det är bråttom
My second tournament for the day and gosh my second final table!
Quit your dayjob
Managed to reach another final table today. Ended up at 6th place. Shortstacked and went all in with AKo from big blind. Small blind (chipleader) called with J8o and flopped a Jack. Curtains down...
Made some bets at the FIFA World Cup, Nederlands won and so did I. Then somehow Japan poke in a goal against Cameroon and I lost.
The Sit & Go grind is going real good. Reached my all time high!

Do you want insurance with that?
Sometimes you just make great choices in life. The purchase of a real good travel insurance is one of them.
I hurt my foot bad back a couple months back in Koh Phangan. The wound never healed properly and a few days ago it got infected and the entire leg started to hurt. I also got some minor cuts on my knee and the other foot.
When these things happen it feels terrific to have a great insurance without a deductible fee. I just spoke to Jeremy and Wiktor and asked them "Which is the best hospital in Phuket?". The answer was Phuket, Bangkok International Hospital, a pricy (as hell) hospital in the city.
A quick chat with the insurance company and they promised to fix everything before my arrival at the hospital. Well at the hospital I didn't have to spend a dime, they already approved all my expenses. SWEET!
One thing insurance company can't do is put out the pain. The Doctor had to remove some dead tissue before they plasterad me. Removing tissue hurts so they give me anaesthesia, the only problem is that they put the needle right next to the wound, which was really sensitive due to the infection. Fuck, I almost bursted into tears when the needle went in. Afterwards the patient stretcher looked like a scene from The Chainsaw Massacre. Not that nice.
The moral of this story is to not cut expensives when it can backfire on you. My hospital bills are extreme! For example the charged me almost 800 SEK just for the medication (antibiotics). But I don't pay jack shit, the company take all the bills.
I do remember feeling a bit guilty when I spent 4 200 SEK on my insurance. Today I'm really glad that I didn't "saved" money and went for a cheaper and less comprehensive one.
Peace out

Marcelo Giudici MMA Seminar
I admit, I had never heard of Marcelo before he showed up one day at the Training Camp. Jeremy gave me a heads up - "He is a short, mean Brazilian maniac. Don't let him choke you".
Mr Giudici are a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo Black Belt type of guy. In other words, a pretty good fighter.
He showed us plenty of tricks and moves. Good stuff!
I managed to follow Jeremy's advice (don't get choked).
Or at least not choked by him, Jessica choked me instead. That was way better then end up like this:
Anyway, he is short isn't he?
