I just love Åre. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about right now, you can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Åre . In short, Åre has a great nightlife and good skiing. If you don’t feel like flying to the Alps or Canada, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Anyway, we are seven guys living in an awesome apartment. We will only be here for a week, but that’s surely enough. The skiing have been decent so far, but for the last couple of days it’s been dumping snow. Lots of it. Right now, we are pretty much just waiting for the sun. Powder + Sun = Win.

I haven’t been playing that much the last week. Spent new years eve in funäsdalen snowboarding with my family. We had a great time, and I even managed to not hurt myself. I’ve been having troubles with my knees, but this year they might be ok. Jinx Jinx
I’m going to Åre for a week of snowboarding with my friends tomorrow, so we’ll see how much grinding I will be able to put in this month. I’m up like 20 buyins on midstakes since Christmas Eve – so it’s all good anyways. Later ninjas!

The math is done, and as I pretty much knew beforehand – this year was really, really bad. I made 1/14 of what I made last year. At least I didn’t loose money, but it’s still.. dissapointing. I’m okay though. It’s just money.
Actually, I’m more than okay. I’m great. I’ve started studying again, I have an awesome girlfriend and I’m feeling a sense of moving in the right direction. Poker has given me so many opportunities, so there’s nothing to feel down about. I mean, most of my bankroll is still intact, even though the stock market has been pretty messed up.
I´ll continue grinding, that’s for sure. For how long? I don’t know. The money is still pretty good, even though it’s getting harder. I’m not really touching highstakes right now, but midstakes feels totally fine. There’s no shame in playing a bit lower sometimes.
Some of my friends think it’s weird of me giving up EV like that, but I don’t really mind. I´ll have my bankroll bank online as soon as I feel comfortable playing higher again. Variance can really mess up your head, and I’m not into that right now. I’m getting back on my feet psychologically – and there’s no way I’m risking that.
Happy holidays to all of you
