I have an itch

vegas1

Today is the first day of the 2011 World Series of Poker. I really wish I was there to hear the words shuffle up and deal be announced and participate in the action. Unfortunately I’ll have to wait until the main event before diving in. It’s hard to motivate yourself to even go to Vegas at all during the summer considering how beautiful Sweden is that time of the year. One of these days I will make plans for a long summer in Vegas and play more events though. There’s always next year…

Surprise surprise!

Since Isildur1 aka Viktor Blom is not really a guy who seeks out the spot light I was sort of surprised to find Saturdays morning paper looking like this:

The article was unfortunately not the most interesting one and the answers given to the questions could have been answered by pretty much any winning poker player. Still it was nice to read and article which was no trying to sell on hype alone. Hopefully more articles like this one will follow, even more argumentative and analytical.

I also wanna shout out and congratulate Swedish Lukas Berglund who took home WPT Bareclona, well done! :)

Yawn

Just watched the last episode of High Stakes Poker season 7. There were some interesting spots, most of them including either Johnny Chan or Phil Galfond. Those guys can play! Is it only me or is Barry Greestein the most boring player ever on TV? Why do they let him play in a cash game like this and exclude Durrr? One thing is for sure, he has not been getting action in the high stakes games because he is a funny guy at the tables ;P Starting to regret ever buying his book….

Slowplay

Slowplaying is a very effective tool against aggressive opponents, but as for all the plays/lines you use you should make sure you vary them. When playing the other day I noticed something funny at a table I was playing. Is slowplaying not an optional play at this table? :D
