Well, sometimes you just need to whine a bit before the poker gods hear you (well almost).
As I wrote the other day, today Wednesday was dedicated to Qual Finals with to very nice prices. One with a spot on Team Ace VIII and the other a trip to Paradise Poker Tour (PPT) in London. I did well in both of them - finishing 3rd and 5th - so even though I didn't get a prize I was happy about my patience during the games.
Did som questionable plays that I have to go through and correct - I am working on my leaks - but overall it went well.
I also got to participate in a $15.000 freeroll and I finished in the top 100 which is always good in these big tourneys.
I have also qualified for a new PPT final on Sunday - so I hope that this will be the time that I get my hands on the trip :)
During the last couple of session I have done some experimental cash game playing at some NL100 tables and it has gone remarkably well - I am up over 2 buyins. Obvious I need to adjust a lot - played a hand where I flopped the nuts really bad - but my mindset was in the tours and that cost me a lot of dividend on the hand.
But I will hopefully learn.

Team Ace up-date and more
Well, its time for al little update on the blog.
I hope thatyou all are having fun a the tables, because somewhere my fun is having fun, and it's not with me at the moment. I ahve cut down considerable on my playing but I do make time for the occasional tours with extra value.
Not that its going that great.
I am in the middle of a period where my big hands (and the experimental as well) simply can't hold up. I know that I should be glad for that, since I am entering the pots as the favorite more the 8 out of 10 times. But it seems like that when I am playing for my tour life the cards don't fall my way.
I hope that the poker gods will give me some slack in the last month of the year.
I don't want to have a loosing year :-)
However - even though the poker gods need to smile at me, I have qualified for to finals on Wednesday, both the Team Ace joker and a final for Paradise pokers new London Live Tour.
I will keep you all up-dated on my progress on twitter - so link up and play well out there!

Autum is here
Well, "finally" it seems that autum has come to our little part of the world again and gone is the days of sitting outside in the warm glow of the sun enjoying a nice cold one.
As you will know my summer has been blessed with a quite substantial amount of great moment - all in no way related to poker.
Firstly, I had the great pleasure of being married to the most beautifull woman in the world.
Secondly, summer is a period for my new found joy in golf.
Thirdly, the rest of the days were spend buried in work.
So all in all - not many spare minuts to play my most favorite sport.
However, shorter and colder days means more time indors and more time to spend at the tables. I am at the moment trying to plan for the tournaments I want to try to qualify for and will keep you posted on the progess.
I still have my goal set in being a winning player on all the networks I play, and I am slowly but surely (jinx) trying to dig myself out of one of the biggest holes - I will shortly show my progres in that respect.

BRM
Time is as always short when yoou have a lot to do at work, however I have had time for some small sessions online and I am happy that my downswing seems to have ended.
I only lost the usual amount of times when going in as a 75/25 to 95/5 favorites - but that is part of the game.
I have started a little experiment by playing smaller stakes on one of my accounts, trying to treat that as my total BR - that is both fun and frustrating at the same time!
Futhermore I saw this article about BRM which I would like to share with all of you, it holds a lot of good advice:

TC and play well.
