Prose from a Poshboy

The buyin is 4.2mirrrion!....colombian pesos which is $2350. It's a $4.2k package, which includes the hotel and $1000 expenses. Flights will cost me $1500, so I'm spending $500 extra.

Don't think Colombia is covered by my travel insurance policy, since the FCO advise against all by essential travel there. Might have to take out a different policy.

All sorts of exciting thoughts rushing through my head right now. I have been thinking about a travelling trip for a while now. I might go for 6 weeks, take the laptop out there, travel around on my own, grind online to pay for it, it's been a dream of mine for ages.

Few problem though - a) the cats - damn you! b) would mean missing the £500 £500k GTE in September which is gonna be the 2nd best comp of the year in this country.

None of them are into travelling at all, so I would always just go on my own. People welcome to join for the comp though, will be serious value, will be one of the softest £1500 comps on earth I imagine, seriously! Would be good to have someone to chill with on breaks/evenings.

Flights about £1000, hotel free, you can roll with the big dog.

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!

I am really curious about this hand. Did you flop/turn the spade/club FD? And second question, Did you think about checking back the turn? prolly only betting set + FD willing to call off a shove or was it a naked set? Please give your suit! its really interesting! Thank you and congrats on LAPT! by the way, you said somewhere that you bought a bmw somewhere... since we are more or less the same age...may I ask how much you are paying for the insurance??? I am looking to bring my car over from germany and when I asked how much id have to pay for the insurance I saw my BR going down dramatically.... is it me or is 1,6k?year a lot!?!?!?!?!? thank you
