This week I’ve gone back to my roots and only played texas . It was a little uncomfortable at first, but I came around rather quickly It’s been a rather long stretch of time where I’ve only played omaha, but from now on I will mix both games a bit more. This week I’m only playing texas for starters and let’s see how that goes

In Sweden our 50-öre coin (worth about 7 cents) will be gone by the end of this month. Finally! A coin that can’t even be put in the meter is totally useless. On top of that it can’t be economically sound to produce a coin which cost more to mint than it’s worth. In the US they do it differently. In 2010 they still make more 1 cent coins in the most capitalist country in the world. EV+?

Newly produced 1-cent coin

WSOPEs first event is just over in London. Unfortunately I’m not there this year. It’s unfortunate cause it’s a well organized and nice tournament. One who is there and who has already made his mark is poker veteran Chris Björin. Last year I spent some time with Chris when he made it deep in all the three events that he played, 6th, 11th and 6th. Not bad! In this years first event,£2500 6-handed , Chris finished 3rd and took home £70473. Congratulations!! Very well done! Let’s hope that he will continue to do well and have a huge rush like last years and maybe even take down a 3rd bracelet

Oh, who won? Phil Laak….

It’s just past 6 in the morning and I’m already up. Notice, ALREADY not STILL.  How the hell did this happen?

Many people have made a lot of money because of online poker, one example is Malta. Malta is home turf for a lot of poker related businesses these days and I’m sure the country is making big bucks cause of this.

Anyways, soon its time for one of many Swedish Champsto take place there and of course I’m going to represent 5050 in it:) I will play the omaha event as well as the main event. I hope I see you there:)
