Can't ya hear me talkin?
After a great trip to the Isle of Man for the UIKPT, it's now time for London and the EPT. The WCOOP was a great break, and the pain of busting out is so much smaller when you can walk in to you own bed and cry yourself to sleep compared to sleeping in a hotel room where the reception calls you at 2...more
How to make...something...of yourself
As some of you might have read in the previous blog, I decided to break the WSOP in two. First I went over there for the first two weeks, then back for three weeks to Denmark only to fly over there for the Main Event in the end. To make it short. That's how you roll when you have kids. But it worked...more
On not winning the WSOP Main Event
This year, I decided to take the first two weeks of the WSOP over in Las Vegas, then go back for three weeks, only to fly over there again for the Main Event. As crazy as it seems, this is not even the first time I've done that. Last time I performed this genius stunt, I ended up having the worst je...more
Live poker in Denmark
More and more I find myself talking about "the good old days." I try not to, as legends such as Villy Betjent, Momme, Blomsten, Laurinen, Krølle Jens, Hans med Øret, etc. did that constantly back around 1999 when I started off. Not that there's anything wrong with them doing it, because, by the Devi...more
Jungleman mucks a winner
Even when he's playing high-stakes PLO, Dan "Jungleman" Cates is a very quiet, even-keeled guy. It's hard to imagine a hand that would enrage him to the point where he was smashing his own forehead with the palm of his hand, but that's exactly what happened when we were playing together in a cash ga...more
What goes around comes around
I had a great trip to Prague in December, once again joined by my father. Also, Gustav decided to join me, and I want you to guess whether he's the type that books a hotel three months in advance or when he's standing in the hotel lobby. When he told me in Copenhagen Airport five minutes before boar...more
The curious case of Mister 2,2,3
I've just arrived back from another WSOP trip, and I've got plenty of time for a blog since Im severely suffering from jet lag. I forced my self to stay awake until 10pm, which was a huge struggle. Two hours later Bambi's eyes are only the second biggest set of eyes I've ever seen. Going on Day 3, I...more
Vegas is getting closer
The way I know that Las Vegas is getting closer is that one of my more insane friends stars a text countdown describing in minutes, hours and days how much time we have left before we're over there. When that bores him, he writes long, detailed emails telling us all how he's already checked in and a...more
Robbers, fake soccer teams, and angry dogs
I am down in Thailand with the family reloading the batteries before EPT London in the beginning of March. It's a much needed getaway after a home robbery that included two shots in my leg. The leg is on its way to total recovery, and so are we as a family. This trip has been with the kids in charge...more
The Penguin Prop Bet
Last week, I told you about my fight with Gus Hansen, a bet I could've escaped if I'd really wanted to. As I told you then, I'm always getting myself into prop bets, and some are impossible to out run. This is one of those. We were invited to a baby shower and ended up at a fun table of people. We w...more
