Ok, god, time for an update. I've literally been living and breathing live poker since the minute I got back from Germany, so I haven't had much time for 2+2/anything else in life. I guess I'll start with the results for June.
Live results
And in case you're unfortunate enough not to be familiar with the glorious currency that is the Swedish crown,
Net result: $6981
Net hourly: $85
Only managed to put in ~81 hours though, but I'm still pretty happy with it all things considered.
NL100-200 online (6m & FR)
+$1128 over a total of 4 sessions (#grindcity).
Total results - June: +$8109
Not sure whether this is my biggest month this year, but it's certainly my biggest live month at least. Not by a huge margin or anything, but still.

So, a super quick TR/summary of last weekend. It was definitely a fun trip overall, and it's always nice with a change of scenery. Weekend trips are pretty exhausting though for obvious reasons, and I was completely dead by the time I got back on Sunday (didn't stop me from going straight to the casino from the airport though
(..and booking a $1k loss due to poor play/playing corpse poker)).
I was gonna post a picture of myself, but I don't really wanna go full ****** wrt outing myself. But yeah, basically ended up doing a bunch of this:
and this:
Good times.

A couple of questions, since you live and play in sweden and I planned on going there for 2 weeks in october:
What casino do you play at? How do they rake and what games run there?
Also in general what is the cost of life? (the price of a cappuccino should give me a good idea)
Any restaurants that are musts?
Keep it up and keep crushing! (and you swedes have no right to complain about russians and actually gotta start sharing your secrets with the rest of us dreamers sooner or later, we wanna make some munny too )
Glad you like it.
I play at Casino Cosmopol, which is the only casino you're gonna find here (state-run, monopoly etc.). There are a total of 4 casinos in Sweden, and you'll find one in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Sundsvall.
NL10/10 (~€1/€1) and NL25/25 (~€2.5/€2.5) run daily, and for PLO it's the same except ~€5/€5 runs as well. The max buy-in is 200 bb.
The 10/10 games are raked at 10%, capped at €10. 25/25 is 5% capped at €10. So stay away from 10/10 basically.
As for the cost of living, it's quite high compared to pretty much anything. Whenever this topic comes up people love bringing up the Big Mac index, so I guess you could take a look at it here:

I wouldn't know where to start with the restaurant question haha, sorry. There's a ton of good information online though obviously.

I was gonna post a few hands too, but this post is already too much of an essay. I'll make another post later today or tomorrow instead.
