Mr Phil Ivey for making the November 9. Nice to see a famous face on the final table. Let´s hope he can crush the rest of the field.

I have been following a couple of threads on diffent car and motorcycle forums. The threads are about a guy who has been cheating people with fake ads and by responding to ads. In his ads he sells e.g. turbos and rims to very attractive prices. He manages to get people to pay in advance but then he doesn´t send the items since he doesn´t have them.

I don´t have any idea of how many people he has cheated or the amount of money but my guessing is that it must be 6 digit sum. He has been reported to the police by so many people that there is 1 person who everybody gets directed to when making a report. He is also well known by the police so the strange thing is that the police doesn´t seem to do anything. Everybody who has read the threads knows how he looks like, where he lives and a lot more.

The best thing in this story is that if someone tries to approach him to talk to him he directly calls the police and says that he´s been persued and this seems to be very important for the police to deal with. So it seems that crime does pay, you can even get police protection.

I thought that the police exists to protect and serve the citizens of the country they work in. But it´s somehow strange that private interests in the USA are more important. Chasing the people who pay they salary just because they´re downloading some files from the internet instead of buying an outdated technology from the store.

I´ll give you guys and girls a tip of what to say to a police officer if you get pulled over, but of course you must have done nothing that is very wrong. This happened to me a winter day a couple of years ago.


When you have a rear-wheel drive car and there´s snow on the ground you want to make the car go side-ways as soon as you have the chance. And as you probably guessed already the police was driving a couple of cars behind me when I made the car go side-ways. Right after I got the car going straight again I noted the flashing blue lights in the rear mirror.

I stopped at the nearest parking space and the officer got out of his car almost before he managed to bring it to halt. By the time he got to my car I hade already rolled down my window and pulled out my license. Clearly irritated that I had given him the license before he could ask for it he was walking around the car and checking my license and presenting his different ideas of how I got my license and the level of my IQ. When handing over my license to me again he said that he would keep an eye on me. Just when he was leaving I said to him that he needs to think about how he´s behaving towards people since he has a service oriented job. I have never seen someone so angry, he didn´t know what to do or say, he just stood there shaking.

Keep this in mind when you´re pulled over by an angry officer and you will get a moment to remeber for the rest of your life.

I have named this blog post part 2 because I think that I will come back to this in the future.

to sit by the computer other than at work. My holiday starts on monday and as always there is too much work that needs to be finished. I´m creating documentation and building prototypes which are to be sent to a famous sports car brand this week so I have been working long hours to be able to finish everything. It´s looking good so far and if there aren´t any setbacks I should be able to go home by lunchtime on friday.

I haven´t forgotten about the last blog post, I will come back to it during the weekend or beginning of next week.

Now it´s time to eat something and then it´s bedtime. It´s not good for you to go to bed about 23:00-23:30 every night when the alarm clocks starts making noise at 4:30. Good thing that there´s Red Bull and caffeine tabs.

I´m sorry if the headline caught your attention. But don´t worry, I will come back to this headline in the next couple days, it will take some time to write what I intended to write about but I need to take my dogs out for a walk.

By the way. +45units today.

over two months since the last time I visited this page. The reason is that my computer wasn´t so keen on living and decided to end his own misery. It took me a while to buy a new computer and when I finally bought a new one I had fogotten about this site. Now it´s time to start playing more poker again and the result of my two firsts sessions after the break is +110 units. My vacation starts in two weeks and hopefully there will be plenty of time to play poker.

Haven´t spent much time by the computer this week. Just didn´t feel like it. Played some poker yesterday which didn´t go to well. The money wen´t in on the flop Had two over-cards and the nut-flush draw. To my surpise he flips over 79 for a flush-draw. This made me feel very good until he spikes a 9 on the river. Managed to win back some of it. This morning session felt really good and I ended up 70units. I made some nice moves and felt really satisfied with my game. Unfortunately I had to end the session because we´re going to Valbo to do some shopping.

My sportsbetting is going good. My bankroll is up about 15-17%.

After yesterdays good run at the poker tables I sat down this morning feeling really keen on playing but that didn´t last long.

In the very first hand I hit two-pair and lost against a flopped flush. Rebuy, was dealt KK, few limpers in the pot so I made a pretty big raise got one caller eight high flop, no draws which I betted and the opponent raises. Thought for a moment and decided that he didn´t have AA and he wouldn´t raise with a set so I thought he had a pocket pair 99-QQ and I pushed all-in. He insta-calls 10 on the turn and 2 on the river and he flips over 8-10 for two pair.

Managed to win back some if it with a straight. Result -117units.

Now it´s time to enjoy the sun.

Just finished 6:th in a tournament winning 2100 units. I was shorstacked from the point when there were 20 players remaining. With some luck and good hands in the rigth moments I managed to make it to the final table. The play was really tight in the beginning but it loosened up slightly in my favor.

Now time to watch some UFC and then off to bed.

2009-04-11

I´ve made it. I have reached the stupid goal I set some time ago.

2009-04-11

as the tv-reporter from Kazakstan in the Ali G movie would say. I´m only 3 stupid units away from making my goal. I didn´t get many good hands so I played very tight but for some reason people didn´t respect my raises and tried to bluff me with no success.

Thursday I left work at lunch already and went to my parents lodge which is in the woods middle of nowhere. It was really good to get out of the city even if live in a relatively small city. It would be great to live in a house by a lake with poker paying the bills.

The sportsbetting has also started well.

Now it´s time to pump some iron and then enjoy the sun.

Happy easter to you reading my blog and all of you who are not reading it.
