Back home

So I spent a week with my parents. Did som "LOL-fail"-fishing with my dad and despite overall failing a lot with what kind of fishes we got and the size of them one or two was pretty nice and I did have a lot of fun. Watched "Cop Out" with him too and he laughted a fair bit. It's probably one of the best "watch with your dad"-movies in recent memory.

Played a short poker session this morning and despite puttng myself down a bi on 2/4 first thing I did I got back to a small profit by the end of the rather short session playing 0.5/1 and 1/2 and while I can't say I played good it still felt nice enough to actually see green numbers. Going to try and win like 7k or so this month and then start grinding 2/4 and higher next month.

I havn't had the "drive" to play while I was gone, and I don't have it now either really, it's so much more fun to follow the action on the PM-markets and thanks those I have swings almost like in the good ole´ 10/20-days fairly often anyway. Net worth is fun, ehh?

Made a really nice move when I bought a small position in Sandstorm Gold just as the gold price spiked down to around 1700US or so a week or two ago and while I havn't sold it off yet it's up around 25% so far. I kind of needed that since I somewhat doubted my timing before that since i managed to buy shares in some Swedish mining juniors at the exact wrong time a few months ago.  Sandstorms idea is really cool, they are basically staking gold mines (Sandstorm metal and energy stakes other thing, and Silver wheaton stakes silver) by paying cash up front in exchange for rights to buy a % of the mines lifetime production of gold at a very discounted price (or for free). I'm really not giving financial advice on this blog in any way shape or form, both since I don't want to and since I'm not qualified, but I found it rather much like how people stakes MTT-players and such so I figured I'd mention it.

The Swedish championships of online poker happens in the end of this month. I'll try to play as many events as possible just because they're fairly cheap and it'd be cool as hell to be the champion.

I also look to play a bunch of live MTT's this winter/next spring so any advice about good ones with a buyin of 1000€+ is greatly appreciated. I'll play Unibet Open Riga almost for sure but other then that I'm not sure. Or I might just save most of my MTT-funds for Vegas next year. Haven't been there which is kind of weird for a poker player and my girl really wants to go and how can I say no to the cutest little thing in the whole wide world?
