Straight flushes do help!

Really pumped for a big grind later! Game selecting really well in comps lately, playing smaller, much softer fields and it's yielding good results. Gonna have a big score soon I can feel it.

Got a 3rd today which made me decent winner on the session, then went to DTD and won £1.2k in a 2/5 game with a fun lineup. TERRY was back!!! Such a hero, so good for the game, not cause he's a bad player (he's not at all) but he gets people gambling, straddles, bluffs, sits deep etc - every game needs a "terry" imo. He's been away for 4 or 5 months I think, it's been ages since we saw him, he goes in spells - plays every night for a few months, then we don't see him for months on end, then he's back. Hopefully he'll help revive the games.

We ended up playing ROE for the last few hours - not at all confident in my plo, probably a -ev player at 10nl online, let alone 2/5/10/20 sat £2k deep! But I had to stay, the game was very splashy, I fancied my chances nut peddalling in the plo, and felt the holdem round was worth staying for even if I was a dog in the plo. I won a big pot off Terry opening QJJ8 single suited to £35, he made it £105 from the sb, I called. he bets £140 I call, turn he checks, I bet £350, he calls. River he checks (thank god), I check and win. That was a relief!

Got in £500 with KK vs Nick Hicks' JJ and held for another decent pot, but lost a big one with JJ vs Walster 98 on A839x, the river checked through, but I 4bet pre and cbet and called £265 on the turn when I perhaps could fold, but I didn't think he'd bet any Ax that he wouldn't get in pre on the turn and felt a flush draw was more likely, the only value hand I lose to is A9 or 89 so I think he's repping pretty thin. Anyway, not too much damage done.

Really enjoyable game and actually my best winning day for over a month!

+1 on Terry being a hero

Decided to play tons of satellites today, wanna go to Colombia for LAPT in a couple of weeks, Barcelona for EPT and then Latvia in October for the Eureka poker tour! Up at sillyam again sigh. Will try to get 4-5hours more before the grind commences.

Have played <5 satellites lifetime, so am reading up on some strategy so I'm not a total fishcake!

It's where the easier money is these days 

shush!

all about shoving and not calling mett.. get some <30bb practice and shoving ranges sorted and work out who's going to be playing 'good' satellite strat and who isn't then use that.  It's how i was pretty successful earlier on in the year with dtd500 seats.

Sunday couldn't have gone worse, really really horrible day. Won't go into details now, but there is a get-out...

Am on the pure bubble of a LAPT Colombia satellite! 4 left, 3 seats. One big stack, 3 medium stacks. Just been bluffed by the big stack sigh. Still got plenty.

[Marky147]

GOGOGO!!!

[DMorgan]

So com if you win a colombia package. Better get the old Spanish phrase book out!

When I was there last year there was one staff member in the casino that spoke english and that was the main event TD =/

Wii got there. Pure bubbled IPT San Remo package earlier, and pure bubbled a 500euro EPT Barca thing too, would've been so sick to miss this one too. Very happy!

Have wanted to go to Colombia for 2/3 years now, ever since I travelled around South America on my gap yahhhh, we couldn't make it to Colombia but I read a guide book and bought a sick album of pictures and it looks amazing. Defo not going for just the comp. Might make a big adventure out of it. Very excited!

A mate of mine has just gone to Colombia after WSOP for a while, he's doing some work there with communities etc.

He's literally only been there a few days and I think he's in Medellin at the moment. I'll try to grab him on skype tomorrow if he's on and put you in touch if you like?

I spoke to him for a short time about it in Vegas, but we were both drunk and I can't remember exactly what was said. Will let you know once I get him on skype and he'll prob be acclimatised by then too so can play tour guide

[PizzicatoXev]

Will be interested in the difference between the expenses that you get from the package and the actual expenses incurred
