Home Sweet Home!

Recap: End of day 1a of the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event and I am off to bed after bagging 74.500 chips. I am in 11th place. More to follow below. One of the most common questions I am asked is: Where is your home? My usual answer is that I was born in Denmark, I live in Monaco and I spend a...

Vacation Time is Great!

Forgive me, my friends. It has been a long time since my last confession J. To be honest, I have been feeling drained and not really in the mood to sit down and spill my beans after the WSOP. After a disappointing exit from the Main Event, I went straight from Vegas to Monaco and Cannes to be a...

The Aggressive, the Hyper-Aggressive and the Sick Aggressive

Here it goes. The brief version of my bust-out from the Main Event. The short analysis of how I got all 80 % of my money into a pot holding Q high and an up and down straight draw. I have already seen quite a few comments floating in cyperspace and after thinking it over for a couple of days,...

188 Opponents left and Counting - I am in 21st

I am now in 21st place and my decisions are getting better and better. I have slowed down my game just a little bit but my intuition is in full alert - if it feels like I have the best hand, a raise is coming up! Besides all the regular stealing, two major hands defined my day 4. It only took my...

Good Table Draw for Day 4

I had hoped that I would make it farther into this year's Main Event before my ass was really on the line. Unfortunately half way through Day 3 I was in that spot. For the first time during two and a half days I put all my money in the middle and a guy who had me covered called. On the other...

Freeze - Day 3 Approaching

Although I certainly didn't play like a rock during day 2 of the Main Event, nothing, I mean absolutely nothing had happened to my chip stack at the end of the day. I start day 3 with 95,000 chips to play with which compared to last years' 600,000 is petty cash. So who to blame for my...

102,900 - Off to a Good Start

Thank God for Painkillers! I arrived at the Main Event yesterday with a splitting headache and a temperature running at 102. Not really the kind of physical condition I had envisioned but I was seriously running out of Main Event start days so I had to sit down and get into the groove regardless...

Book signing tomorrow at 2 PM at the Rio

I am laying low right now. The HORSE tournament was one long struggle and although I wasn't too happy about my overall performance, I actually had several chances to get back in contention at rather crucial moments. Didn't play the PLO tournament as my body protested to any more long...
