    I've done another hand review.  This time on a cash table.

    i'm possibly overthinking it, but I think the decision on the river is marginal at best. Let me know what you think.

    Cheers Tikay.  Didn't realise you followed this thread.

    Yep its this weekend.  I fly out at some unearthly time in the morning on Saturday and meet up with some friends over the weekend.

    Monday is the tournament i'm playing.  Lovely 550 deepstack.  Hoping for a decent go at it!

    Of course. I read your Blog, too. It's all good stuff, & provides some balance to the endless tosh that Markycash writes.

    I don't watch your Twitch stream though. In fact I don't watch ANYONE's Twitch stream. Twitch does not tick any boxes for me.
     
    GL in that 550 Deepie.

    You flying into Schipol Airport? Lovely airport that, very big indeed, 3rd biggest in Europe. A most impressive 6 runways, all asphalt surfaced, too. From there to the City Centre by  double decker train adds to the fun.

    I've only ever done the one twitch stream and that was on another persons channel.  I ended up running deep in the Major and made the FT on the stream.  Not done it since though.  5 hours of talking to myself gave me a headache!

    Im actually not flying into Amsterdam.  I'm flying to Rotterdam then getting a train to Amsterdam to meet friends then train back to Rotterdam for the tournament.  Then a third train to Amsterdam to fly to England.  All in the name of saving money.  Still, 3 train journeys in a matter of days.  Sure you'd agree thats not a bad thing :D

    To be fair I do read your ramblings in return... even when they are on gripping topics like concrete ;-)

    Think this is an interesting topic.

    Bluff raising all in can be risky, but if used correctly I think it can be profitable.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Day 1 of Rotterdam is up!

    I guess cliffnotes would just mention that there's going to be a day 2! :D

    Excellent result, very well done indeed. "Bittersweet", yes, but I bet you still felt great.

    Next "live" outing?

    This really struck a chord with me, especially the emboldened part;


    "I do enjoy live events so much more when the players are more social.  No reason you can’t all have a laugh off the poker table, or even on it for that matter.  Some players take these things way too seriously"

    Almost all of us here are "recreationals", so we should always try to ENJOY our poker. It makes no sense to take ourselves - & our poker - too seriously.

    Cheers guys.

    Wasn't the win I had dreamt of, but I would have snapped your hand off if you offered me 5th at the start of the event.

    Progress on the live scene though!

    Rotterdam is a nice city.  I've barely seen any of it but I just really like the atmosphere it has.  Plenty going on despite it being a wednesday night.

    I on the other hand am i bit tired and the fact I don't have a coat with me has ushered my back to my hotel for the night as its raining.

    Would like to venture back here at some point.  Fly back to England tomorrow for some downtime for a few days before returning to Gibraltar.

    Its been a decent little trip.

    An update on my cash challenge...

    Bit of a rollercoaster, but was to be expected.

    Just a general update...

    Playing fair bit of golf.... improving slowly.  Although i did see a video of my swing with my driver the other day.  It made me sad.

    I'm still outdriving everyone im playing with... just sometimes it can not go quite where i want it.

    Still... my irons have drastically improved after some lessons.

    How is poker going?  It's going.

    Oddly enough cash poker has been going OK and tournaments have been going, well.... not OK.

    Other than that I've just been working.

    As you can see not enough going on really to justify a specific blog.  Just thought i'd do a small update here instead.

    Anyone have any advice for me in terms of which one of these London events I should attend?

    Is anyone going to either of them?

    And Tikay... please can you align one of the SPTs on my long weekend.  That'd just be swell.  :)
