Thanks Marky147 me too-Hope to bump into you in the not so distant future.

BunnyDas- Has the Luton Genting changed much? No not really. Run some better value tournaments on a regular basis and this year hosts the grand final of the GPS along with an additional two stops over the year.

So how has the game been treating everyone? I heard that a blondie went really deep in the WPT last weekend. I love reading success stories for local players. I'm sure he is off somewhere working on his tan with a pint in his hand.

Ive decided to bring the laptop across with me so will try and do a daily write up for everyone.

Okay... I think I really should pack a bag now   and maybe get some sleep. Taxi picking us up at 4:30am.

Super excited! Night everyone.

Used to be a good bar/nightclub - come out of the hotel arts walk right along the beach about 300m. Otherwise Barca has something for everybody.

Good luck S

I bump into lots of things, mostly walls and floors

I'm in Vegas for a few weeks during the summer, and hopefully going to play some 25/25 comps later in the year.

Have a great trip, and watch out for those pickpockets!

Chandiler and his brother.

Learning to play poker 10 years ago in a 20 rebuy event after watching Chandiler lose 2k on Roulette.

How about you Das?

I’ll stick the cash in my man bag and smell really badly to scare off any potential predators.

I’m looking on going to Vegas in the summer too. Time I break that cherry! Hopefully we both crush it out there and meet up for some drinks.

Hard to say for legend, love yannick and his cash games, hate his ability to always hit!

Favourite moment is even harder to say! For a blonde connection I would say calling down nirvana(I think) in the old £5 rebuy at bury park with J high and being good.

What a place to learn the game!

Actually scrap that, few years back when they had the 25p/25p table just outside the poker room by the side of the pit. Span a fiver up to 125+ from mostly playing all in spins with a few of the other cash game regs waiting for seats/new table to be opened up on the 1/1 or 1/2 tables. Dread to think what some of those guys were thinking on that table.

Raise to 75p, call, call, re-raise to £2, fold, fold, all in to £5, call £5, all in to £70, call, call, call, call, call £70.

By the time that table broke it was probably one of the bigger cash tables of the night in terms of stacks!

[UgotNuts]

I remember that Das. That table was incredible!

So through security. Just having some breakfast before boarding.

I was singing along in the taxi on the way down. Joking told the taxi driver I was practicing for Xfactor.

Let The report continue on touch down. Can’t wait to see all the fishes... in the aquarium of course. Might need to rehouse some by the end of the week though...

Safely arrived in Barcelona after a really nice short flight. Lovely views over London, France before gliding along the barca coast. Total travel time 1h 50mins shaved off 25 mind scheduled. Must have been really good tail wind.

Got to the hotel around 10:30 local time. Had a mix up with the taxi driver. It said 25 euros on the meter but he charged me 35? I ended up just giving him two 20s regardless but I t lt a bit scammed. Room
Wasn’t ready so we decided to head to the beach for a stroll. Very clean place. No litter anywhere and a real friendly feel. Registered at the casino, apparently I can’t put cash on deposit here instead of carrying around cash?

Only the first floor of the casino was open. Guess they are getting downstairs ready for the PPM. But I noticed that the pit seems to be chip less. It’s all electronic even the table games. Wanting to know how it worked down here I put 200 on a Texas Holden heads up type of game against the house. You bet pre flop and on side bets then if you like your hand you can 3x or 4x or check your hand. The dealer was lovely and was having a lot of banter on flops,turns and rivers. Was breaking even before I got dealt KK dealer had 96 and tugboats ran out 4 spades. Me and the dealer both had a spade so I got paid out a flush bonus, my stack and also the Bad beat bonus (this is when the dealer make trips or better. So ended up being up about 300 Euro before the dealer left and was replaced by a miserable one. I promptly left too. Found the nice dealer and tipped her for the fun game.

Back at the hotel now as the poker room doesn’t open until 4. Will catch some sleep before heading back over tonight.

Really enjoying it so far.

Ask hotel reception?

Apparently them don't give them out. I woke up from a 2 hour nap (Man I needed that more than I thought) And my lovely lady had been on a walk to the supermarket to find one! One lucky man!
