Interesting story incoming... writing on my phone cause bored in 1/2 waiting for a seat.
I'm playing some 2/5 game in Hippo when the billionaire of previous hands who my housemate & I at this point are quite friendly with, walks in. We make the game 5/10 and play for a while, I end up small winner in the game and play basically no interesting or big hands. In the end the game dies with just him, my housemate, reg and I left and this is where he invites my housemate and me to come along with him for an all-paid trip to Paris, as he goes home again Friday. We have nothing to do so are interested... Reason we were invited (I believe) is cause he likes us and cause we're happy to play bigger games and since he had to go to Paris for work he decided to just take the action with him;D
We arrange a game Thursday night and initially the game was 5/10 and dead; then randomly a variety of fish show up and there's 2 ridic good tables of 5/10/20. I win a bunch of small pots and am up ~3-4k somehow in relatively bad lineup. Then the lineup got good and I insta lose profit;
5/10/20; Mp opens 60, 3 calls and I call 22 in bb.

By now our trip to Paris is confirmed and we meet Friday afternoon to get the train to Paris... I don't want to post too many details but we end up being picked up by a nice car to go to a nice hotel and play the same night.
Games were 5/5 and 5/10 and not exactly interesting, day 1. I set over set someone and end the day up €4k.
The second day our friend is in meetings/doing whatever and my housemate and I go drinking and play 5/5. I play one fun hand;
5/5 I open AA mp 20, co 60, sb coldcall, I 360, co 1360, I put him ai ~3300, he calls with AK and I hold.
Fun story how our friend showed up and went sitting besides us to talk and the dealer said he can't sit there; Our friend tips the dealer a €500 chip and is magically allowed to stay.
We play 5/10 with him for a couple hours after that
5/10; I open KK to 40, friend calls, co makes it 260 we both call.

I end day 2 up ~€7k and we head to the hotel and go home next day... There were delays and lots of people waiting for the train to London, but luckily our friend got us businessclass tickets that had flexible leaving time so we could basically skip the lines and go home, lol.
So that's all about our random trip to Paris... I have no idea how long this post is due to having written it all on my phone and also, my friend may post more about it on his pgc -
