I'm in Europe still, I got talked into coming to San Remo because it's supposed to be one of the softest big field tournaments of the year. I busted it today after uneventfulness. I played well and I think I only made a few small betsizing errors. I wanted to get more suited stuff to 3-bet some of the weak players I had position on, but it's (generally) not good practice to 3-bet guys with 82o, regardless of how bad my opponents' are.
I am slightly discouraged by a very small sample size of tournaments, but mostly since I've only gotten >10% above starting stack in like 2 of maybe 9 tournaments that I've played over here. I guess if I was getting deepish and bubbling I'd find something to complain about too. Poker is such an annoying thing!
Otherwise I am having trouble reaching for feelings about my trip in general. I feel pretty apathetic about it. I feel somewhat advanced by the traveling... but I'm traveling within a bubble, so to speak. Nothing really else to say, hopefully I'll go deep in something and save the ship from sinking this trip.
I am sorry for going a few weeks without a video, I'll have one up in a week or two when I get back to Toronto and am actually playing. I'm probably going to hit the online grind in November playing a mixture of everything and buy a desktop and improve my setup in Toronto.
How are you enjoying Toronto so far? I've just moved here too after spending the summer in NYC and it seems very quiet so far, just wondering if its the same for a high stakes poker player? Any cool places you've seen here so far that you'd recommend?
As a fellow Sox fan, I'm curious about your thoughts regarding a over/under - in terms of how many years til - on a Cubs W.S. appearance under T.E.? I can't help thinking about what someone I used to work with said about seeing a Cubs' W.S. victory, " The only way I want to see it is game 7 at The Cell. What a bloodbath."
