Just a quick note on the way as I am leaving for the airport. Not sure yet on what day I will start out on in the main event. Day 1A-D will occure 3-6 of July. You can find the official schedule here and I will come back with an update as soon as pokerroom let me know what day I will play.Cheers for now.
7 days to go and everything seem to be set. The hotel to be is the Mandalay Bay and next Sunday we will finally head off. I have been quite easy on the cards this week as the Euro 2008 is taking some of the attention. But I guess that little distraction is all over now. Hopefully the russians will prove themselves even further in the tournament so we can tap eachother Swedish shoulders with the comon understanding that we didn’t suck competely after all. Instead let’s enjoy this little “old school” Zlatan clip. Its still quite fun… 
A bit late but it is still worth another comment. As a follow up of the Absolute Poker scandal, yet another site has been caught with “Super user accounts” that make it possible for the user to see all the opponents cards (search on youtube for the Absolute Poker examples). The “new” site is the Phil Helmuth branded Ultimate bet which have the same owners that Absolute poker (oups…) Undisputable evidence can be found here and the general advice would be to switch sites asap.
Also, as a comment for today (Quote from Cardplayer) on Daniel Negreanu’s victory in WSOP event 20: “After hugging his mother and high-fiving the crowd, Negreanu exclaimed, “Negreanu - 1, Ivey - 0.” Negreanu is referring to his prop bet with Phil Ivey, involving who would win the most bracelets at thes year’s series. Ivey must now match Negreanu, or else be out $200.000″. Looks like Ivey is doing more bad bets than on Craps. Now, go and have a great WE!
I went for a 3 hour hit and run at the casino after dinner to kill some time. Pending between absolute coma and mega fishing action the most “interesting” hand without contest was the following; UTG raises and he gets reraised. Two callers on the reraise and then two all ins (yes it is a bit messy and it gets worse. To cut to the chase; the second all in has the button and a full buy in. He gets called by two players (whereof two small stacks) The board shows only low cards with 10 high and the first all in fellow (the guy that went all in with one all in after 2-3 reraises and an all) shows J 10 off…and all the other folds. LOL.
I also run across this Youtube clip; another classic delivered by Lasse Grankvist after the second goal in the first EURO 2008 game for the yellowish Swedes…
Började skriva den här bloggen på engelska pga att jag förra året hade några utrikiska vänner som läste. Oklart om det är så denna gång och nu är jag för trött för översättandet…
Dagens tips är en bifogad länk till “The life of Ivey” och Poker road. Själv tycker man att $5/10 NL är halvtungt, Ivey spelar craps för en Mille…dollar. Hej svejs va…
Dagens sjukaste hand nertill. Olyckligtvis åkte jag på en nit handen innan och hann inte fylla på men det är väl synd att klaga

As I just won a pokerroom.com $17.500 worth package to this years main event , I better celebrate it with re-opening this little hi end, self righteous piece of poor excuse for a blog. However, the Vegas trip was already booked anyways, but it will hopefully be cheaper this way… The fine crew of Pokerroom even made it the “front news” on the site when “Stakeajake coming all the way back from the short stack at the final table to be in the thick of thing”. Isn’t it cute? ;) WORTH TO MENTION for the interested is that PR is the only Ongame skin that have a number of $500 WSOP satellites each week which really do have some good value (and for the cheaper lads; if $500 burns to much, yes there is $50 rebuy sat’s several times a day ;))
