Xmas in Prague

Prague has become the start of Xmas for me the last few years.  With Xmas markets och each townsquare, thousands of lights in every street and tree, and merry people everywhere Xmas nowadays starts first when I’ve set my foot on Namesti Staromestske (”Main square”) and eaten a trdlo (charcool grilled dough with cinnamon and sugar):8


Namesti Staromestske

I’ve also picked up my ticket for tomorrows tournament.  Day 1A, table 7 seat 3.  Lucky chair?

EPT Prague

Once again it’s time to pack my bags and go on the road.  Tomorrow I’m off to Prague to represent PokerTime in the EPT main event.  Prague is my favourite stop on the EPT tour for lots of reasons.  I’ve run best there thus far, the timing of visiting Prague could not be better with all the Christmas lights and markets, and the organization and structure of the tournament itself could not be better!  Looking forward to it indeed :)

Swedish Champs in Omaha

In the middle of playing the online Swedish champs in Omaha.   Got 9k in the first break which is average.  So far I’ve gotten quad aces in all the Swe-champs events I’ve played.  Now let’s get paid too!!

5-card draw

SM (Swedish Championships) online was nothing I planned for or looked forward to, but yet at 8 tonight I found myself sitting in front of the computer playing 5-card draw for the first time since 9th grade.  I didn’t really figure out the game, but I probably needed to pick up some more hands or play way more aggressive than I did to make something happen.  At least my table was fun and I think we all agreed that 5-card omaha would have been more fun ;) Except for this hand:

..I never got much to work with.  I busted fairly early, but at least I had fun :)

What about Isildur?  You can hardly talk about poker these days without mentioning him:D  Got this video from a friend today.  Very funny :D

OMFG

It feels like yesterday I watched FastFreddie take home the largest pot in the online history of poker in Texas NL against Bad_IP. With blinds $200-400, in what was then the largest games the poker world had ever seen, he raked in the pot of $465,000 and the rail went nuts!

Tonight, a few years later and with blind which have increased to sick $500-1000 it was no longer Texas Hold em which created the action. Omaha is the new it-game and all that have played it know that you often coinflip which usually puts a lot of chips on the table. Therefore it was not very surprising that Antonius CRUSHED his own record and Isildur when he took home the pot of *drumroll* $1,356,947!! It’s insane how much money that is8I

The passing around of chips continues. Isildur takes down Durrr and passes on the winnings to Antonius who is currently building a new wing on his house and updating his garage ;)

See the pot here
