SCOOP it ;)

Finally home. Never felt better to be in my own sofa, watching my tav and just chilling with the Sunday tourneys. Woke up this morning (again) by the cars in the Grand Prix (think it was like a veteran race or something this weekend). It sounded like they were driving right outside my window at the Meridien ;)

My grandpa, who’s really ill, survived while I was away. Wasn’t sure he would but so happy he did and that I can go to the hospital tomorrow with grandma and see him. He was asleep the whole time she was there today but when she said I was coming home he put a big smile on his face <3

It's been two and a half weeks of hard work but also loads of fun at the Riviera. I really enjoy what I do but if it wasn't for all my readers this wouldn't be as fun as it is. I look at the numbers on my blog and realize so many people come back every day to follow the tournament through my eyes. That's a cool feeling. That's what keeps me going even when it's really hard, long days and exhausting.

The best day was definitively the first day in the High Roller. Damn that was fun. All the funny quotes I got, all the interesting hands, all the gossip ;) It didn't matter that was an insanely long day. It was all worth it and I had a lot of fun the whole time. Hard not to when watching the poker elite I guess.

I don't know what it is with me but people tell me stuff even though I have the work I have. Might be because of my blond hair, blue eyes and my innocent look *s*. Nah. I guess they all know me by now and know I would never reveal anything that could hurt them. My blogging is only to entertain. I try to never be mean, there's loads of others who does that better than me. I've been into serious blog war's before but over a year ago I went out in public and said I don't want to be a part of the soap opera we have in Sweden (or nowhere) anymore and so far I've stood by my word no matter how hard it has been sometimes when people given me reasons to give back. Since they had discussions about my sex life and other private stuff I also stopped reading the forum's. Sometimes I go to 2+2 though. People there are insane and soooo funny most of the time. Right now there's a thread where they are photoshopping a picture of Phil Ivey. Been laughing so hard tonight. Sooo many good one's but this is my favorite:

This week will be all about family, friends and tons of writing about the SCOOP on PokerStars. Gonna try to play some too but only when well rested. Know how much I suck online when I’m not. No patience what so ever. I’m also gonna go back to the life style I have when at home (and never on the tour) with healthy food, loads of exercise (meeting the PT tomorrow) and long walks with my friends who live really near by.

Pokerlistings in Sweden have a “All-in and suck out“-list every week. I was up there again this week ;) Weee! I’m thinking about celebrating it with winning the 100k guarantee on PS tonight…chip leader atm.

Instead he bought seven bottles of these…had me testing every bottle too which made me wasted and leaving the party at 1am

Tried to get William and ElkY to do round no 2 in a drinking game (first one was in Barcelona and easily won by William)…ElkY said he will never challenge W again *s*

Nick and James having a breakdown at EPTLive…couldn’t resist taking a photo off them and laughing loudly at them while this happened. They laughed so much they couldn’t do commentary for almost a minute (now you know where the silence came from *s*).

Hi, can you tell me what that article was about Negreanu and matt?
Thanks, and I am really starting to enjoy your blog, especially this one. You seem like one heck of a lady. GL

Hi Kevin! Nice to hear :)

If you mean the in and out thing on Pokerlistings it was for me trying to make peace in between ADZ and DN.

Take care!

Kevin says:

Hi Lina,

Ya that is what I meant, thanks. Did it work? I read a tweet of Dan’s that said they did.

Thanks again and have fun!

I had to struggle but finally managed to get them to talk to each other. I think that I got Daniel to understand one thing and it’s the fact that some people has harder to adjust to the life that comes with loads of money when you become a pro. Instead of fighting and mocking ADZ he should help him to adjust and to become a better person. Daniel is almost 15 years older than Matt and have so much more experience. He should use this experience to help others who doesn’t. That makes him a bigger person. Even Matt said so after they had their long talk.

I’m really happy I succeeded here cause I really like them both (both guys have a big heart). I hate when people fight of the wrong reason. If there would have been one I wouldn’t have said a word…

Kevin says:

Good on you! As I said before, you really do seem like a swell gal and I am sure your success will continue in your bright future. Keep it up.

Kevin
