admin — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:06:56 +0000

Yes you read it allright. My favourite online poker video pusher - Pokersavvy is hosting 3 gigantic freerolls from the 13th - 16th of June - each with a WSOP package up for graps! You can read more about this great promotion at Pokersavvy WSOP Race.

On top of the 3 WSOP Freerolls a May 20.000 SavvyPoints Race is running:

“From May 1 through June 7, complete as many poker room signups via PokerSavvy as your fingers can handle. At the end of the month, the players with the most SavvyPoints earned during this period will walk away with the following prizes:

Prizes
1st Place: 10,000 SavvyPoints!
2nd Place: 7,000 SavvyPoints!
3rd Place: 4,000 SavvyPoints!
4th Place: 2,000 SavvyPoints!
5th Place: 1,000 SavvyPoints!”

(You can buy a Nintendo Wii in there for less than 4.000 SavvyPoints, so lets race

Has the journey ended?

No it hasn’t!! Theres just no pokerrelated stuff to tell of this week. I havent had a single minute for poker since returning from Tallinn and it is starting to cause abstinences like cold sweat and shivers which I hope to cure the comming Sunday with a great dosis of grinding:) That is ofcourse unless the hangover from Carlsberg Cup blocks me from putting together even the simplest thoughts! For those not in the know Carlsberg is a not so serious soccer (yes you heard it - soccer and yes - my soccer skills are even worse than my poker skills) tournament with hundreds of teams of 5 “players” each probably being semi-drunk as theres beers from draught next to the pitch - great concept huh! Well the team to look out for is Gnu Expressen, which freely translated is something like the Gnu Express:)

Well I hope to be bacj with some pokerrelated stuff Sunday or Monday (which is a holiday in Denmark - jihaaaaaa poker al night long Sunday!!!)

PS. What do you think if the new way of presenting the bankroll chart?

I just stumbled upon CardplayerTV Investigates that has made a funny story about the Scandinavian maniacs on the poker scene. Check it out here…

Gus Hansen chipleader at WPT final

admin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:49:06 +0000

As a Dane, I just have to mention that the Great Dane (I want that name some day:-) Gus Hansen starts the final table of the WPT final as chipleader. As there were 55 players left I decided to give Gus a shot and put 20$ on him as winner of the tournament at odds 25 so hopefully he’ll make my day:)

Have a nice weekend everybody! Hopefully I’ll be able to play a lot of poker Sunday!

A +1500$ poker week and a danish Maniac!

admin — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:44:11 +0000

Hi there,

You remember me? Sry for not posting the last week or so - I’ve been busy at Carbons 1/2NL 6-max tables (Yes it’s the same as the last couple of weeks - no news there:-). As you might have figured, considering the chart going almost vertical, I’ve had a rather good week at the tables ending up in a + of 1500$. I’m actually starting to feel that I have a small edge at the 1/2NL tables. I’ve found myself a mentor (even though he doesn’t know it) in Dani Stern at Pokersavvy - every time I’ve watched one of his videos (he’s playing “high stakes” 6-max NL) I feel that I’ve put something to my game. Go ahead and give his videos a try…

In my last post I stated that I wanted to feel the pain of poker - yesterday I ran into a guy (who was actually danish). A clash which could easily have resulted in some serious pain as this guy really pushed the pedal. During the 2 hours he was at the tables, I might have made some wrong laydowns, but I felt that it was only a matter of time before he would lose his money to somebody at his tables (I just prayed it would be me).

After quite some time, 2 sets sealed his (and my) session:

It’s quite a call he pulls here:

I wanna feel the pain!

…No I haven’t gone sadist over the weekend:) The title of this post refers to the fact that I’ve found out that I HATE to break even! Yeah but it’s better than losing one might claim! Not even close! There’s nothing worse than a session where I sit down to play the greatest of all cardgames (for the record, Trivial Pursuit is the best non-card-game) and 4 hours and around 1600 hands later I close my laptop with a great 0 in profit/loss. The last 4 hours of my life have simply been unimportant - I can’t stand that feeling of indifference. As you might have figured, my weekend (as regard to poker) has been just like that.

No let me feel the pain right to the bone, as when I make a fold that makes no sense at all - http://screencast.com/t/WMuGFsUL, or even better give me the rush we all love when earning a small days payment within 5 seconds - http://screencast.com/t/dxkk4LnTj6. I simply feel more alive, than when just breaking even!

So enough with the indifferent poker sessions (or all aspects of life) - Let me feel the pain, I’ve just learned to love it!

3 hours later…

Home from work I just had an hour to play a little poker - and it wasn’t indifferent or boring at all:)

Unfortunately I missed the first hand which I won from the same guy (who was on serious tilt):

30 min. and three pots later I was sitting with 700$ and found me in this last pot:

It’s as if they just don’t want their money. This little fish just keep winning:) Thursdays status says 5 hours of play, +800$ (and that was before rakeback which was 75$ for the day!). I’ve captured a lot of hands which mostly illustrates the great action I once again ran into:

No idea what his plan ever was here:

http://screencast.com/t/kdEkCi7h

This pot actually anoid me quite a bit as I was pretty sure i was favourite on flop (15 outs), but wasn’t rewarded:

http://screencast.com/t/BJZWQi31G7t - I would love to get your comments on this hand!

Some people just can throw away AA when beaten:

http://screencast.com/t/hG9vYQXBjgF

Actually this hand is rather boring, but nice pot:

http://screencast.com/t/b1xY90MZzy3

I had seen this guy make some loose plays, therefor the cal (plus the fact that he was shortstacked ofcourse:-))l:

http://screencast.com/t/gVzQchPe7

Just as bad as this capture is, just as good was the hand (he called for the rest of his stack on river): http://screencast.com/t/z9L4Z24nEW

Same thing here:

Unfortunately I closed the third table before this screenshot, but for the record, I was sitting with 620$ at that 1/2NL table too:

/Lets just hope the action continues, cause I love poker at the moment:)

If I can do it, everybody can. Take on the donkeys yourself - take advantage of the special rakeback deal here, and join the fun!
