123 players started = 6k chips. Started at a really nice table with no good players at all. I smiled for my self, watching them overbet,
missing out on obv valuebets and so on. The first big pott i played was on 50/100 and we played about 6k behind.
I flatcalled a CO-opening of 400 with TT from the button and the blinds folded. The flop came 34T rainbow and he bet out 1100 and I called.
The turn was Jh now making a flushdraw and he pushed allin and I instacalled, he had A9hh and the river was no help to him =)

The next keypot i played was on 200/400 with 22kish effective. Co raised 1200 and i reraised to 3k with QQ on the button and he called.
Flop KQ5 all spades, he checks and i bet 3800 and got a quick call. Turn Tc and he C/C 6,6k and the river 2h he checked and I pushed for 7,5k.
After about 4 minutes i called the clock on him and he called and mucked, said he had AK with As.

After that pot I just played some small pots, busted a guy with 95o @ 678board when he had 67 (I was BB in limped pot obv) and I hit a nice 6-outer om 574K with 66 against TT.
Then at the FT I opened 2,5xBB with 55 from CO, BU pushed with less then that and SB called. Flop T72 two spades, he checked and i checked behind.
Turn 5 of spades making a flush possible and SB checked again so i bet about half the pott and he instapushed and an ez call with 55. BU showed J8 and SB 99 with 9 of spades
and my hand held up knocking out 2 ppl.
I worked my way up to chipleader but then i lost a 100kpot with QQ vs A4o AIPF (738k chips in play) Worked my way back and with 81k on 3k/6k 500 ante i pushed allin UTG
with JJ and got called by TT from SB and doubled up.
A few hand later with 6 ppl left i opened for 15k from CO with AJo and BB pushed for 63k. He had been playing tight all day (we were at the same table almost all day)

He looked a bit nervous and i really couldnt fold so I called and he had T7o :P I hit an A of the flop and knocked him out making me the chipleader again.
Later on i lost QQ vs AK AIPF 200kpot leaving me with not that much left (cant really remember it all)
I remember working my way back playing small pots and stealing blinds. The old guys complained about me being to agressive and tolk another young guy how bad he was after
he pushed with 11BB efter another shortstacked pushed with 5BB. The 5BB guy had 44 and the 11BB guy had AJ and the older guys said he should have just called :P So I really cant complain about my opponents.

With 3 players left the chipleader had about 500k and we had about 100k each with blinds of 7500/15000. I pushed without looking at my cards and BB woke up with AA...
I told him i havent looked at my cards yet and turned over 4s and 8c. Flop KQ8 gave me some hope and when the turn was a 4 BB wasent to happy and the river: 4 didnt make him happier :P
He had me covered with 1k so we were practically HU with 200kish against 500kish. The prizes were 72300 for second and 128000 for first place.
My opponent HU was a danish reg at Casino Cosmopol who played quite aggressive. Ive seen him made some bad plays and felt I had an edge if I could just double up.

I took his BB a few times and then for the third time got over the top and i called with 77. He had A8o and lucky for me i won this flip :D
A few hands later the tournamentdirector said that we had 3 more hands to play before the casino had to close for the night. Noting happened yhose 3 hands and after 14 hours we had to stop
At that point i had 428k and he had 310k @ 10k/20K 2k-ante

As i said before i had about a 100km drive to the casino but it was rather 130km so at 4 am me and my friends started looking for a hotel in Malmö. But after an hour of searching we decided
to give up. Apparently there were some kind of political meeting in Malmö this week so all the hotels were fully booked. Got home around 7am and we were starting again @ 14:00 in Malmö.
Slept for 2,5 hours, took a shower, tried to have some breakfast and drove back to Malmö. Miscalculated the time a bit so i got there like an hour early :P

When we finally started I opened the fist for 50k with KJ and he folded. The next hand he opened for 50k and I got over the top with 99 and he folded. We both openfolded rags once and on the fith hand I
looked at ATo, did a little bit of acting and raised to 50k and the danish guy pushed. An easy call and he looked a bit frustrated when i called. He had K9o and the flop 24A almost crushed him. turn turnwas a 9 just to make it
a bit exciting (ofc I didnt want a sweat) but the river blanked and I won!


I may have mixed up some stacksizes and blinds but braodly it should me correct.

I tried to upload soom pictures here at my profile but as u all know this might be the slowest page on the whole internet :/ So i keep getting timed out

Anyway... Heres a pic of my "trophy" http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4294/pict0004g.jpg

Decided to play the 3k @ Casino Cosmopol tomorrow. 40-ish players registered atm

GOGOG

Just found out that i finally qualified for live the dream with my winrate for last week =)

Tonight I just might play the local EPT (250FO @ propeller) which is called EPT because its the cheapest tournament they have and it brings out all the nitty players :P Usually its alot of fun even if the stakes are`nt that high

This week its the "autumn poker week" http://www.casinocosmopol.se/malmo-spel-poker-malmo-autumn-in-english.htm @ the casino and a good friend of mine just asked if i wanted to play the 3k this wednesday. I have a lecture from 10-13 and the tourney starts at 14:00 and I live about 100km from the casino :P So I'm not sure if I should play or not. And also I dont really like the structure with less startingchips when the amount of players increase:

>140 players
Startchips: 5000

120-139 players
Startchips: 6000

100-119 players
Startchips: 7000

0-99 players
Startchips: 8000

30 min levels

I´m gonna discuss it with my friends later tonight

Just registered for a 2k deepstack 2-day event @ propeller club 6/12. 50k chips, blinds staring @ 25/50 with 30 min levels and a ante from 200/400? (really not sure when the antes start)

Unfortunately thats the same date as the evp 250k gtd but I prefer playing live escpecially with a deepstacktourney like this. Last time i brought a laptop and played the 25k gtd VIP freeroll at the same time as playing live and that really did`nt work out that well and i bubbled the livetourney and did`nt make the money in the 25k either. So this time I`m sticking to the livetouney ;)

Wish me luck

Yesterday i decided to play the thursday tournament at the local pokerclub. On thursdays theres a 100 rebuy with one hour rebuyperiod, 20 min blinds starting at 25/50 1,5k chips and 3k addon. Usually its wild`n`crazy but yesterday i got seated at a rather tight table and unfortunately only 13 ppl showed up. Still i managed to grind myself up to about 10-11k with a bit of luck before the break and then after the break my luck with the cards started to change. Picked up KQo as best two times and both times the biggest aggrodonk at the table raised me out of the pot. Then at the FT after doubling with AQ vs AJs AIPF and KK vs 88 I was HU against the "aggrodonk" i mentioned erlier. I started the HU with about 30k vs 65k @ 1,5k/3k blinds. 3rd hand i rerasied AI with A3o and got snapcalled with J7s :D flop 25J turn A river x. A few hands later i put him allin with A8 and he snapcalled once again with Q9 and hit the 9 on the river. The final stab was QQ vs 22 when i held QQ obv. Ship it!
