I'm never coming abroad without actual cash in my pocket ever again, I never seem to learn my lesson though. Despiter telling them in advance my bank have put all kind of blocks on any meaningful transaction, meaning days of withdrawing $300 max leads to my first 2-5 session with $700.

Session result, won $350...

Hand 1: 4 limpers, I complete sb with A2dd. Flop KT3dd. I lead 20 into 25. 4 callers. Turn Qd, I lead 85 into 105, old guy makes it 100 on top. Hmm, call or 3bet? I don't wanna see river action killers, and no1s raise folding a flush surely? I make it another 100, he snap folds 'your flush is than kine'.

I think turn is a mistake then.... With 3 flop callers, there's likely another flush draw out there, and check raise applies less leverage than bet 3 bet, allowing me to get his whole stack potentially. Also, just calling his flop raise as played is superior if he's ever raise folding a flush, as actually only ~25% of cards are action killers and he'd likely bet his weaker flush again. So, not happy.

Hand 2: lady raises utg+1 4x, I call mp AJo. She raised a few times so happy enough. 2 more callers with very high vpips. Flop 944r, lady checks...... With 80 in there and weak ranges behind me I decide I can make a cheapish steal. 30 into 80. Both dudes fold, lady check calls. Turn is K. Although she might be check calling AK on the flop, mid PPs are more likely and I can apply a lot of leverage hewre with a street yet to play. Bet 100 into 130 she tank fold. Win!

It's 5.30 am, very jet lagged still, just woke up so going to play now for a few hours before England play at 8.45am. Crown and anchor pub if anyone's interested.....
