Back to the drawing table

The run I've been on the last few day doesn't help either, I think I might actually have done ok and won a little money in some HU-matches against decent opponents but I've been killed by less solid players both in HU and 6-max. One guy in particular has had the habit to 3bet and call 4bets vs my UTG-range with such monsters as 6522ss, KQJ2sss and overall something like the top20% of hands (might not even be the top, never seen him 3bet AAxx lol) and absolutely crush me by never folding the flop with anything and mostly hitting 2p+.

Now, this sounds a lot like me whining, but I'm actually done with that. I called my dad and bitched about it earlier today but got happy again when we talked about the stock market (some of the stuff I own has done very well lately). Anyway, I decided that I'll move down and play 1/2 and lower for the most partand not force anything really. I'll play some tournaments too since I find those amusing lately and had some decent results but other then that I'll take care of other areas of my life instead. There's a ton of stuff I'm excited about really:

1. My gf's book. First draft is done and I'll probably start proof-reading it soon.
2. My final thesis in law school seems to be on it's way. Got a bunch of good advice from the professor today and he was really positive (much more then I expected) when he talked about what I've produced so far.
3. My work with the Libertarian Party of Sweden is finally going well after a slow start.
4. It's possible to find some really nice houses for less then 100k€ in some places I want to live.
5. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_134]UFC: RIO[/url] will be bad ass. Not super excited about the main event (rooting for Okami, thinking he'll get lolpwned) but Shogun vs Forrest II and the Barboza-fight will be awesome not to mention Paul Harris vs Dan Miller. To bad I'll have to wait until UFC 136 in October before next super bad-ass event will take place. However, I'm calling it now: UFC 137 will be the event of the year.

Right now I hope to go fishing with my dad early next month and possibly stay with the parents for a week or so while writing on my thesis and overall getting away from Uppsala for a while. I feel like I've spent far to little time up there and I'd love to get out in nature more with fresh air and whatnot. Then, when I've put in 30k hands on 1/2 and 0.5/1 I'll re-evaluate. If I've made 5k or so I'll move up, if I haven't I'll just play 30k hands more and see if it works out better. The way to the top is one of two steps forward, one step back. Or possibly a bunch of steps.
