but because my last computer was brought from a place which sold like 3500 drones to Putin in 2022 didn't want to purchase there.

If you mean this, it was mostly fakenews and social media hysteria (once again) I think all companies has sold items to Russia, whether they know it or don't.

At least Jimm's failed to get my computer order and they have certainly lost lots of prestige which means fewer loyal customers. Decided to go with the computer I posted earlier.

Gotta get it and new webcam ready for tomorrow. It looks like decent week to play poker here in the North:

Well horrible start at the series. Did play 4 events and few satellites for no returns (some minor bounties at 50€ one). Lost also my both 100€ tickets, so might go for regular schedule instead - not sure if playing Monday PKOs though.

On other sites, 9th, 11th, 11th and 11th place were best today, so horrible day. Though managed to fight it to be break-even as those were big buy-in MTTs mostly - too bad that trophies would have been like 4k€ in average so got super bitter taste from those.

On positive note, got one of my most popular poker streams ever. This despite the most popular Finnish poker streamer was online whole time and started before and got no raids today. I guess new stream setup was worth it, though didn't get run-good for poker.

Ragewalk after last night horrible runs.

3 gamedays this week, not a single major or even mediocre score, still slightly profitable so far. Now on 2-day hiatus, woke up 11 pm after 13 hours or so sleep.

Mmm... might as well update a bit here. Last week was super promising, but ended up to be frustrating. Stone bubbled 1050$ PLO8 SCOOP with horrible luck (like 2k$ bubble) and didn't get any 4-figs cashes except one live package (Coolbet Open). At least got that PLO8 ticket from 10$ satellite, but this is second time when I (semi)bubbled the same event in 2 years or so.

Pretty much break-even week with 4 gamedays + that package (like +700€ + 1600€ package). Feeling great about the game, but sleeping part is still a bit problematic.

Got more RAM for my computer (32 GB to be precise) and a new gaming chair so hopefully getting better results this and upcoming week. Likely gamedays are ones when O8 is running in the series, so Thursday and Sunday this week and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (and likely Sunday if I can make it).

No luck today, except bad one. Got lots of tickets, one 1,7k$ cash (though had sold shares from it) but no other scores and buy-ins were so high that ended up at break-even.

A quick question I have been asking elsewhere too: if you must choose between these options: 5 gamedays a week 6 hours each, 4 gamedays a week 8 hours of each or 3 gamedays a week 10 hours each which would you choose?

4 game days 8 hours.

3 days should be 10 hours.

At the first sight 3 days and 10 hours seems to be most tempting, but they're also super hard to grind. Finnish time 6 pm until 4 am seems best time window for MTT player for 10 hour session, though prime time is from 8 pm until 2 am.

Yesterday was horrible and played only because had to use 215$ ticket, which quickly met ATo v AA at 15bb effective.

Also had a nice shot for 5200$ ticket (one 11 -> 215 satellite had literally 200% overlay), but 77 < 99 with 40% of all chips (winner takes a ticket) 20bb deep button vs. BB 4-handed crushed that dream too. Some real value over sats around when 50% overlay is more like the norm and even 200% overlay is available (though of course atrocious variance).

Last hotels bought from Czech trip - I am going to The Festival Rozvadov next Monday and after 6 nights there decided to take 4 nights in Prague before returning home so took hotels for that period. Looking forward for the trip, travelling alone as all friends are tied for their jobs.

So likely very little online poker. I might play tomorrow and go without sleeping to my flights (leaves 06:20) but next Sunday is skipped. For summer plan is to concentrate on other stuff and play only in Sundays.

One hand from last Sunday, was a horrible day and only major event at Unibet so not much to tell (usually just play 10 R/A Sunday satellites in Unibet nowadays and use 100€ tickets for lateregging Supernova or playing some other 100€ PKO event).

Economically this trip is total waste, so why not to take a little trip with Taxi/Bolt alone to see Czech countryside properly? 90€ wouldn't be bad if would have got someone to share.

Well, it was a trip. I need a long vacation.

First I lost my phone after that Bolt trip, and it got to Prague one week earlier than I did. Got it back yesterday after long hunt of lost OnePlus (let's just say that driver didn't speak any English and first time I got contact with him was right after I used google translate to send czech messages instead).

Bought a new phone from nearby (20 km) town, but it was a poor substitute as couldn't log in to my Google account, Facebook account, bank accounts or anything tied to them.

I didn't expect much from Rozvadov, but it was even far more despicable place than I had imagined. Literally nothing else than that casino, which offered nothing else than casino games. Buffet went from mediocre to bad and no other places to eat nearby. At least side hospitality events were nice.

Finished 3rd in the roulette tournament, which actually made my games profitable despite poker running like poker does: main event busted day2 at classic 8x starting stack flip with nut flush draw against top pair button vs. bb. 2-7 triple draw busted at first hand (10bb deep) with me holding 76432 (second nuts) even before last draw just to see that my opponent already hot 75432.

No luck at flips or blackjack tournaments - super value like roulette one though, they played via leaderboard so everyone having a stack after 10 hands / games got added to the leaderboard with their best result so playing at the last possible moment made it possible to have a huge advantage in addition of playing games right. Some people really did their best to lose.

Spent 4 days in Prague after Rozvadov, which was better - nice bars, excellent restaurants and at least cheaper if not better hotel.

Would people like to have more random pictures? For obvious reasons they are mostly on my substitute phone (rest on other phone) and writing this from my computer, and don't care to download too much stuff from discord to my computer and then add here.

Here's a sushi boat from a superb Japanese manga/cat-themed restaurant in Prague:
