Hello everyone i decided to start a blog on here because i have alot of spare time and i think it might be some fun. Since i enjoy reading other players blogs i think it's time i give some back now.

This blog will obviously be focused on poker but if i ever do anything else i'll let you know lol.

As it is now i'm playing 5/10 and some 3/6,10/20 NL holdem on fulltiltpoker. I recently cashed out my stars roll to have some fun and buy an xbox :) But i plan on depositing like 20k or something so i can play higher stakes on stars aswell AND i only need 10k fpp for a 32 inch TV that i can have in my room.

My long-term goal with poker is basically to make a living playing poker and getting better while doing it or vice-versa since i would play even if i didn't make as much money.
And "short-term" i plan on making 90k so that i have 200k by the end of the year, but i might be aiming a bit too high.

I'm just writing stuff as i come up with it, for the last 1-2 months i've been experimenting alot trying out different styles etc. Just trying to find myself in a poker style. But i came to the conclusion that you should always adapt and always be unpredictable, playing poker just like you read in some book won't get you far (At lower stakes it might but i mean higher stakes is a different game.)

And i will try to make daily updates atleast now in the beginning and we'll see how it goes. I think that's it. Interview with me so you can get some more background info if you haven't read my other thread.Jordgubban Interview

Oh and i don't go to school or anything, i just play poker.

I hope you will have fun reading. And i want to be a blackmember aswell

Yup i'll regularly check your blog. I see you as my role model. I am amazed how fast you went uphill.
I'd like to know more about your history. How long do you play poker? Years, months, how did you learn to play that good etc.?

Good luck

Congrats on all the success you have in poker so far! I don't want to sound like an unbeliever, but I would be nice if you can make some kind of graph of your winnings. Would be interesting to see how steep it is and how many hands you played.

Hope it continues!


I'm looking forward to this, our very own highroller . GL and post graphs and stuff.

I don't know if it's ok to post links to other sites but tableratings is pretty good, it's missing some hands but it's pretty accurate.

And thanks to everyone showing interest in my blog.

Hey seednoir,

He posted the link to an interview with him in the first post, it pretty much contains most of the information you were asking for ;)

Thank you... actually i went to read it after i made the post.

This man is just a lil genius gambler!!! I finally saw you play; nothing special but maybe that wasn't your lucky day... i look forward to watch you in the future!


Well today i woke up at like 3 pm and started playing some 6 max, i was running pretty bad but i ended up winning like 300 bucks.

And later on i played some heads up and lost like 2k because i was running bad and playing bad.

I submitted alot of sessions today at weaktight, bad idea because now i got confused and can't see what sessions i played today. Was going to look for some interesting hands, i'll post some tomorrow instead. My SN there is jordgubban if u wanna check it out.

Bedtime gn/gmorning to all.


Hope you reach your goal.
I´m still aiming for 100K $ mark, which seems far, far away :)

Are you planning to give us an account of just how you progress from this point on or are you able to give us more detailed information about how you managed to get to where you are now?
