Cougar Town

I have two close friends who lives really nearby. If you’ve watched the series Cougar Town on TV…that’s us ;) Tessan is a pop star, Caroline works as a head waiter at one of the best restaurants in Stockholm and then we have me with my poker and everything. None of us has a normal 9-5 job with routines etc but it works fine. We have dinners both with and without kids. We do power walks in the morning (just an excuse to have a latte at the coffee shop afterwords) and we have the best wine nights in the world (where we easily empty a 3L bag-in-box or two). We discuss how to loose weight the best way, how to cheat and stay home in the sofa eating chips but still call it exercise since we wore trainers and actually went to the store to buy the chips. We’re all singles and enjoying life as much as we can…

My life at home feels like reality and going on the tour is more like going into a bubble. Both are really nice but with my crazy personality (there isn’t anything I’ve wanted to do which I haven’t…) I’m not sure I would have been able to do what I do today.

€%&”&”%”!#!€! Just got sucked out on in my last tournament of the day. I had already given up on this one and started on this blog instead but managed to get a stack but got it in with straigt vs flush draw. Grrr! Would be so nice playing TNL without river sometimes.

Ah well that’s just a tournament. Poker is not my life and I never let it affect how I feel. I play it for fun and nothing else. Poker is my work and my hobby but has never been my life which feels really important to me cause I never have the pressure to perform or to play at all. I only play when I’m in the right mood. I’m lucky though. I’ve made good money both online and live which has paid for so much. It paid my car, handbags, shoes, furnitures and electronics. I never had a bankroll in my whole life. If I win a poker tournament the money is probably spent the next day or two on a handbag or a new TV…

Have you guys seen the Promo for Premier League Poker? I’m really looking forward to the air date on this one. Anyone know when that is? See it HERE!!

I have five of these from Monte Carlo Bay. One from each year I’ve been there. Since I stayed at another hotel I had to steal it from William Reynolds at an after party (same party where Negreanu and ADZ kissed and made up) ;)

My Swedish “Gossip”-blog will change over the next week. Can’t really reveal what it’s all about but it’s gonna be something HUGE. This means I will start blogging more often here which I hope is appreciated ;)

Time to get back to work. Writing about all the SCOOP Events for the hurdy-gurdy-blog on PokerStars (the Swedish one)…cya!
