Beasts of Poker Gambler’s Diary: Jamming   Jamming   the story of grandma, losing and having a stick up your ass. Material things won’t give you much after enough time has passed. Some give some. Most none. We drove in silence. Only the steady hum of motor and wind. It was peaceful. I was autopiloting on an autopilot.  I was on […] The post Gambler’s Diary: Jamming appeared first on Beasts of Poker and is written by TheJudas ..read more

Beasts of Poker Gambler’s Diary XXVII: Vegas (3/3) Muling and Heads up for Rollz   I wake up and the world is not all right. The anxieties with a massive headache hit me as I try to open my eyes. Everything in my room is pitch black except for a small light on the alarm clock’s face: 01:05 PM – it reads. Did […] The post Gambler’s Diary XXVII: Vegas (3/3) appeared first on Beasts of Poker and is written by TheJudas ..read more

Beasts of Poker Gambler’s Diary XXVI – Vegas (2/3) Cobb salad    I cannot sleep. It has been a week since I arrived in Vegas and my inner clock is bust. Everything else is bust too, I am like the reversed King Midas – everything I touch turns to dust. My one bullet to the 10k PLO went faster than the migraine attack I […] The post Gambler’s Diary XXVI – Vegas (2/3) appeared first on Beasts of Poker and is written by TheJudas ..read more

Beasts of Poker Gambler’s Diary XXV: Vegas (1/3)   Prelude   “There’s hurricane season in Cancun and it seems that it’s going to rain every day, I vote that we don’t go there” AkuJ said on the line. “Me too” someone mumbled on the other line. “Me too,” someone else agreed. “Sorry guys, I have to go now” I said and hung up the […] The post Gambler’s Diary XXV: Vegas (1/3) appeared first on Beasts of Poker and is written by TheJudas ..read more

Beasts of Poker 2020 + 6 days Sometime in April Murphy’s law states that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. My year so far has proved the law to be right. I paced nervously around the living room. There is no way around it – I must make the call. I circled the living room once more, picked my phone and called Mr.E. I knew how the conversation was about to go. Still, I hated it. One should never ask a loan from a friend. Alas, I was about to. I felt like a little squirrel who thought he had been ready for a winter but now had used all his reservoirs, and it was still freezing outsi ..read more

Beasts of Poker Mild Madness God damn, there’s no games. I thought and hopped on to a sofa. I already led the plo200 leaderboard but felt like I hadn’t played enough to ensure the victory. Semi manically, I clicked around partypoker’s lobby, and tapped my foot against the ground. It was a beautiful summer’s eve at our cottage and the Finnish nature was truly giving its best; sun still high up in the sky and pleasant 25’ degrees, even though it was already past nine o’clock in the evening. Anyone would be relaxed here. And yet, there I was. Tapping my feet against the ground in a desperate se ..read more

Beasts of Poker “I’m late” It’s a scary sentence even in the best of times, luckily, this time, I’m only referring to my writings. But yeah, I, indeed am late. I have two excuses: Firstly: Twitching started. Secondly: I played the rake-races on party for two weeks. I’ll go over them separately. Like some of you surely noticed Beasts of Poker asked me to Twitch a while ago. It seemed like fun so didn’t really see any reasons not to do it. Now, in hindsight, some one-liners from the King come to mind. I don’t really have the capacity to explain how question: “You got any anal from your girlfri ..read more

Beasts of Poker Twitch Something Twitchy this way comes When Beasts of Poker asked me to twitch some of my online action, I was hesitant. Believe it or not – I have put some semi serious effort into my PLO game, and I would not like to give it away for free. Not that I’m actually that concerned that a new coming player would totally crack up my gamebook, but it would definitely help some regs out that I play with daily. Twitching did seem like it could be good fun though. So, if not PLO what then? As I was ..read more

Beasts of Poker One hand of Chinese Last day in Cannes. A big group of Finnish poker professionals are sitting at an hotel bar. The weather is pleasant, the night is warm enough to be comfy with just a shirt on. I’m young and broke (again) but pleased that I’m sitting with the absolute top of Finnish poker players. Now, for the first time in my life, I started to feel more like part of the group rather than a fanboy. No matter that I had just busted my bankroll in a semi chaotic way. I still had my spot among the group where some of the players played regularly at the 500-1000 Full Tilt game ..read more

Beasts of Poker Just the Tip(s) “At some point you are going to run worse than you ever thought possible” – Said someone who I’m too lazy to google right now. 2020 has been rough. It feels like I have been running a devilish obstacle-course with pitfalls and false hope sprinkled everywhere. Each time the situation seems to get better I get rear sided and wake up with Lord Variance’s foot in my ass – and like everyone here probably knows – it is a pain to run an obstacle-course with a foot in one’s ass. If I’m honest though, it’s not just variance. Majority of the year has been decent. The pr ..read more
