NLHE freerolls on prima, then made a deposit to party and played limit games, then NLHE cash and at the beginning of 2005 I started to play PLO8 SNGs and fell in love with the game.

I remember playing a lot of 2k PLO8 on partypoker (in 2006?), but obviously I wasn't great back then. Good enough to beat those games though.

Yes, I kinda was, but back then it took less time and effort than it does these days.

I play less than a thousand hands of other games per year, just for variety and fun. I did have a phase of playing a lot of online PLO and probably learnt a lot from it. From what I've experienced PLO8-games are way softer than PLO, mainly because nobody has written an exceptionally good PLO8-book (in my opinion).

Things will slowly get tougher, just like it has thus far. One thing is for sure - I'm not planning to get a real job!

I listen to a lot of music, while playing poker too. Mostly different kinds of rock (Oceansize is one favorite), but recently also something heavier like Mastodon.

On partypoker in 2007 I had a session of 10/20 PLO8 with one player madly tilting. I made more than $30k during ~20 hours. I had my moments of weakness and thought about going to bed, but told myself I can beat this guy even when I'm tired. Best month ever was +$83k in 2006, the golden partypoker times.

Make sure I'm not tired or thinking about something else and just go for it aiming to have a good time.

I guess I don't really need to work for it. Money doesn't motivate me at all. I just enjoy playing.
