Gonna commit to my group coursework and get that finished. After that, i'm out of uni for sure. Already asking around and sorting out a dealing job.
I can always do a degree later if i get bored of poker :)

I'm in trouble. Well..
It depends how you look at it.
I can't get out of bed before 11.. and i've been pretty ill for the past 2 weeks so naturally i've missed a lot of lessons at uni- they arn't happy.
But the best part is, i just found out if i don't pass this year 1st time around, i can't re-take it, which is really giving me food for thought. Most of the guys i hang around with play for a living and are happy, so why can't i be?
If i actually get through the boredom of this year and scrape a pass, ill have a work placement year to do. If i dislike that, i still have another year at uni, whilst realizing i probably don't even want to do accounting after i finish.
So why not save time and quit now?
I mean, at the moment, i'd love to deal poker part-time, and play professionally part-time. Wake up when i want, work nights which is when i'm actually awake, have no more accounts to draw up, have much more freedom and free time in life.
Blahh, thinking away from a poker table makes my brain hurt :\
Oh the bright side, driving lessons are going well and i'm putting weight on slowly. Broke even at poker for the past 2 weeks, bankroll still around 25k.
Any life advice folks?

Blah
Started uni again and after 1 week i'm bored already. Waking up at 7 never gets any easier. Fact.
Past my driving theory test and got a few lessons done so hopefully won't take me too long so i don't have to spend 1000 hours a week on a cold miserable bus :\
Hit a mini-downswing for almost $7k which has been pretty fun actually but still enough to make me sigh occasionally. Running shitty, playing worse. FPS at it's finest.
Fitz told me he'd update when he got back from vegas so you guys have that to look forward to :)
Oh wait, $8k :\

I'm the man
Seriously. Apparently i have the "X-Factor".
Poker is going well, life is going pretty well. I'm on a strange weight gain diet- sort of.
The only downside is uni starts again in a week.
Also, i tip £10 for £8 worth of drinks holla.

It is time.
For me to make a massive update. I haven't been updating in a while cause I have been majorly busy. What have I been doing? I have been moving. That's right bitches, I'm out of the major iceberg that they chose to call Norway, IM IN MALTA!
I can't explain what level of awesomeness it is to live here compared to Norway.
Pokerwise things are abit tougher though. I grinded my 2.5k roll up to 4k before I decided to take the plunge and move down here. I decided that proffesional poker life wasn't for me though, I admit I was underrolled but I was doing more then ok. But it isn't really about the money at all. You sit on your fucking ass all day playing a game that's not really fun after you've seen it all, you don't see any new people during that time and it's the most boring thing ever. Poker might be alot of money, but I'll be keeping it as a separate source of income and just enjoy the extra money it gives me. Not play too much but play whenever I have the chance and don't really have anything else to do.
So anyways I was up at 4k when I decided to make the move down here. I didn't have a job as I went, cashed out some of my roll to get down here, got this really awesome place with some other random Norwegian guy that I knew through some pokerfriends down here. We pay about €1200 and it's pretty ballin. So I was pretty much just waiting for my computer to arrive so I could play some poker, LO AND BEHOLD when the computer arrived it was completely smashed. Motherboard dead and everything, I was terrified cause now I had to cash out even more to get a frikin laptop, and the electronics down here are incredibly expensive.
Luckily though I got a job at betsson as support where I make about €2000 a month, which is very decent for maltese standards. Our apartment has 3 bedrooms, 2 balconies, 2 bathrooms(one with jacuzi), dining room, kitchen, living room with a bigass TV and surround system etc etc. We have the sickest view ever, and most important of all, walking distance to Paceville or "Drunkenville" as it is more commonly known as.
It's kind of like the center for partying in Malta. Every day is a fucking party down here, the parties are sick because all the poker people know eachother, and affiliates who has their asses full of cash putting several bottles of champagne and vodka on the table, drinking half of it then moves on to the next club/bar without a care in the world. So yeah, it's pretty crazy down here and I have met some awesome people in the few weeks I have been here.
One was this crazy 25yr old tunisian karate champ that I fucked for a while, and also a russian chick(will poast pic at bottom of this installment imo), and lots of other crazy party people. And some balla pokerplayers.
Back to the pokers, I decided that since I now only have a $2k roll I would apply for a stake. I was thinking about it for a long time but thought "nah it's prolly not worth the risk ending up with someone who might not coach that well" cause I'm doing it alot for the coaching aswell.
But when i saw WCGrider from twoplustwo looking for stakees I had to apply cause I knew there would be some quality coaching involved. And obviously he knew brandysbich(my last coach) IRL so he took me on right away.
I'm running so well at life right now it's completely sick.
Anyways there is really way too much to write about these last few weeks but I think I'll cut it here cause if I continue any longer I'll end up writing a 10k word essay.
I will upload more pics later as I get my computer setup, right now I need some sleep cause I'm going to work again in like 8 hours.
