I busted early from San Remo. I had a pretty aggressive image postflop on my table and got 56s allin on a K56cc flop to an under the gun raise from a nit. Somehow he showed up with K5, gg me.

San Remo the city was kind of boring so right after I busted out I took a train to Florence, Italy, where I've been for the last week. Been pretty relaxing here and I've been able to grind some. Once again, I'm having a great start to the month, up about 100k in not many hands. I've had some good HU matches and have been playing my best poker.

Also, been hanging out with skier_5 and sauce123 here and we have had a great week. Lots of poker talk too, and I think all of us have learned a lot.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to Monte Carlo. It will be a long day but will be nice to see my college roomate who I haven't seen for awhile. I'll be rooming with him at Monte Carlo. I'm definitely going to try to help him with his poker game. I really like teaching people and having them sweat me because it really helps myself play better and think more clearly, as well.

I'm still having problems with moneybookers and don't think I will be playing on these euro sites for quite some time again. Hopefully after WSOP. I'm also thinking of relocating to a different country, but really have not decided yet.

I saw some comments on my last entry about Buenos Aires, Argentina. It's a great city, and all of the information you could want can be found here:

Looking forward to meeting some of you at Monte Carlo and in Vegas.

suerte,
