Hey, my name is Markus. Making this blog to get some motivation for grinding out of my misery. Right now my makeup is like 135k$, and things are tough. WCOOP was really rough. Include a few livetourneys and a pretty high avg buyin online and the worst run of my life, and u get a big number. Had some nice shtos at clearing already this year, beeing 1/100, and 3/50, eventually busting 28th in the TCOOP main (525k uptop). Also had 15th in the supertuesday and some other sunday deepruns.

I also play livecashgames on my own bankroll, doing very well. Spent a few months in Vegas and LA this summer, playing 2/5-10/20. And a few monthis in macau playing mostly 50/100 hkd (6/12 us). I also have a few horses on my own for livecash/online MTTs, one is crushing and one has worked up a decent bit of makeup for his games.

Been home (norway) for the last few months, playing a mix of live 10/20nok (2/4 us) cashgames, and a decent bit of MTTs online. Not much else to do here in the winter, so cant wait to do some travelling again. Starting next week with unibet open copenhagen, then a week in london, and then a while in Dublin for the Norwegian championships.


Yearly goals 2013

- Get my makeup to a more comfortable number, possibly clear it
- Bumhunt more HUcash/play more cash
- Get healthier
- Play first my first WSOP event, including main
- Crush livecash
- Travel to atleast 1 new country
- Experience more on my trips
- Always study and discuss the game
- Win decent money on backing
- 200k VPPs (bit unlikely, but lets go)


All my SNs here, for those interested

    Bink this one with like 45 players left in the 1k. And win tons of other hands, at 1400/2800 I peek at like 340k with 30 players left, then the doomswitch comes... AKss against randoms 66 4betshove for 100k each at 1600/3200. Lose every allin after that and every light 3bet/open whatever doensnt go through before I finally bust 12th with QJo<99. Oh well, pretty rough but not much ya can do.
