yeah we're taking good care. The atmosphere is a lot more chilled now. There are still loads of armed police around. Definitely give us a shout!

well blocking his offsuit Jx isn't great. Having the Ah is an irrelevant blocker too cus he never bluffs busted nfd's. I'd much rather just bet QQ+ and check this combo as I'm unblocking his draws that wanna bluff.

lmao, well these comments are quite conclusive. Although, i was at the table and the guy genuinely seemed like he didn't know what was going on. However, he was using pretty optimal bet sizing so who even knows. And obv he had AA, so we'll never know.

So, tournament update. I made day 2 with 40bb (40k) with average stack at 65k. I was up to 65k but had a very questionable all in for 21bb vs new nit thing who had only played 4 or 5 hands. He was chatty and irish, telling me about his family and kids, so my assumption was that he was at least pretty tight. He opens utg+1 out if 21bb (i was playing about 65bb) to 3x (this was his std open size), I have AQo next position. I could call, but then there were some 30-40bb stacks behind and the table was very 3b happy. I can't really 3b fold, although in hindsight this hand actually falls into that category very well (thoughts?) so i decide to 3b call. He ofc had KK and i felt pretty dumb. Would be keen to hear thoughts with the limited info you have on villain.
Overall i'm very happy with the way I played. I felt some frustration and tilt sneaking in - there was a spot in the last level of the day that i was strongly considering cold 4bing KTo vs an active 3bettor, but decided that chip conservation was way more important. My card distribution was truly amazing; AA, KK twice, QQ twice, JJ twice, TT, AK and AQ a few times too. Really shows how much variance there is in these things if i was dealt such good hands and still have a below average stack.
We then went out to the pokerstars party which was pretty fun. Then headed to Pacha. We book the vip section for about 25 people that came to like 3500 euros. Get into our area with wrist bands. We're there for maybe 10 minutes and suddenly there are bouncers at the back of the VIP section throwing, and when i say throwing, i mean throwing people down stairs. Mayo asked one of the bouncers wtf was going on and without responding they grabbed him and chucked him down the stairs too. Some of the guy's gf's had the same treatment. Obv at this point we're absolutely furious and in disbelief at what's happening. I go speak to the people upstairs, then the VIP manager, then the head of security and then the manager of the club. We refuse to pay and they say they'll have to call the police. We ofc want that to happen as we thought they'd have no leg to stand on. Our spanish speaking friends explain what had happened. The police say that we have no choice but to pay the bill or they'll take us all to jail and we'll have to wait in a cell for 4 days until we can see a judge. We have totally no choice but to pay the bill that the manager oh so kindly reduces by 1k€ and offers we go back into the club lol. We ofc say we're never ever coming back to this place and that we'll take the bottles and go. So the police leave and we say ok we'll go get our bottles. They then say **** off, you're not having them. One of the girls and our mate goes and talks to head of security again, who then totally blows up and says, 'yeah sure, go get them, but we'll kick the **** out of you when you're down there'. Welcome to the corruption of barcelona. Total bs
Cliffs:
- made day 2 with 40bb
- got royally ****ed by pacha and will never go back again
Chill day today, then day 2 with updates tomorrow.
