I got some big news for you today.

I´ve joined Full Tilt Poker as one of their pro, so from now on I´m gonna be “in red”.

I´m really excited about it since I love to play on FTP and there are lots of cool people involved.

That means, however, that I´m not going to continue to write my blog on this site, it will most likely go to my FTP player page. Stay tuned for more info on that.

I´ve also been playing quite alot and you´ll get to see some hand histories once again.

I´ve been playing quite a bit 1k-2k Limit holdem on FTP, and won about 120k 2 days ago.

Then I played some Omaha yesterday with my super cool new account and won another 60k.

Today, sadly, my luck should change.

I´ve been playing ridiculously well (LOL) and managed to lose yet.

I´m really proud of myself for not losing twice or more of the amount I eventually lost, and it´s a great feeling to know you outplayed your opponents ( even if you´re wrong in that assumption). Always good to give your ego some satisfaction.

Anyways, pokerhand.org was goofing around a little in the end and I wasn´t able to save all the hands but here are a few.

Not too special, but tough beat.

Very loose call preflop, flop play pretty standard.

Ugh, mean setup imo, especially against Gus.

Think I played this hand very well, eventhough I contemplated in the chat, I was never folding.

When checking the odds it turns out I´m not as big of a favourite as I thought, just another gamble for lotta $$$.

Not too special once again.

Got lucky to avoid a huge losing session.

GRRR, I was on my comeback.

Hmmm, I realize that those HHs aren´t very exciting, thats the reason I usually don´t post any.

Anyways, it was a rollercoaster session with my peek was being down 530k and being “just” a 220k loser in the end. I´m not happy with the result, but very happy with how I played and how I´m taking the result.

Poker is so much about psychology and attitude towards the game, that pure playing skill often becomes a small factor in someones success.

I don´t wanna sound like an old man at only 20, but if there is one poker advise I could give, it would be to always analyze your sessions and play in general, but do it with honesty.

Accepting certain flaws of your game will make you want to improve them, that in turn will make you into a better player and that will turn you into a happy person, realizing you can only make an effort to play your best, and everything else is out of your control anyways.

Enough cheesy wise words for one blog entry,

thanks for reading-

Niki
