and didn't tilt once! I'm unstopable now!

update on what's been going on...


went to Barcelona for the EPT, great city I'll definitely go back again. I went with Big raaaj (roger manifield on 2p2), fionnmac and asa smith who came 5th and shipped 200k euros!

I'm yet to have a big tournament success, busted out at the end of day 1. I was playing well and bluffing my way to keep up with the average, but then there was a very unfortunate hand against mini ziig (guy who looked exactly like ziigmund, but smaller). He played decent. Actually, I'll tell you about another hand first..


Kinda early on in the tournament, we prob have like 100-150bbs eff. I had been passive pf, since I had been getting dealt a lot of KJ/KQ/33 type hand which would suck to 3b at that stage. An American internet kid opens in ep, i decide to get a little frisky and 3b A7o in mp, he flats. Flops J62r he cf (quite quickly) QQ face up. tee hee. Soooo tempted to show the 7, but resisted and later bluffed him a ton of times!

Onto the mini ziig hand..
I raised utg with KK I have a taggy image capable of getting tricky. He didn't see my open and threw in his open amount which was slightly more than mine. Came back to me, was a bit of confusion, but unfortunately it didn't count as a re-raise. Flop came 884r. I was thinking that since he showed strength and given the muddle up pf and since i opened utg, a bet bet bet line by me would look like KK+ maybe QQ. I also didn't think he'd bluff me too much if i bet. So i c/c. turn blank, like a 6 or something i c/c again a rather large bet and river a 2, i c/c another large bet he had A8 (and would have folded pf if he saw my raise ). That left me pretty crippled. I shoved my way back to 17bb then open shoved KT in the co and got called by AQ. (is raise/folding better?) gg.

I'm thinking about playing the smaller events in cities that I really want to visit from now on. As I was thinking throughout day 1 that if I do well then I'm stuck in a casino for 4/5 days, and I really wanted to see Barca! Probably not the best mindset to have...


Sweating the final table was a lot of fun, there was a spaniard playing and so literally everyone was supporting him. Except for 3 rowdy brits (me, fionmacc and another guy (wt5s i think his 2p2 name is or stars idk)) and two canadians we were with, trying their best to dissociate themselves from us. With good reason to be fair. We were adapting some footballl chants to asa's name. He stole the blinds once and we starting singing at the top of our voices, i caught the dealer giving us the biggest "wtf are you doing??!" look.


Big Raaaj, mac and I figured that while we were in spain we might as well check out Ibiza. It was fun, but not really my kind of place, although apparently we went to the wrong part. None of us really knew anything about Ibiza and went to San Antonio, when I came back my mate said ibiza town was the place to go. Oh well, always next time!

Next stop London...
