Just much of my 4bet bluffing range is going to contain an Ace or a King so on the rare occasions I'm here with suited connectors I'll need to barreling off or I'll be deprived of bluffs?

I've been spending a lot of my nights here in Hanoi performing stand-up comedy at open mics around the city. The unfortunate reality of doing stand-up is that going out to perform a 10-15 set will actually eat away 4 hours of my day when taking into account the transportation, waiting to go on stage and trying to network with people after the show. And it's a lot worse back in Bangkok, where I have to hand out flyers for two hours on the infamous Khao San Road to get the stage time, all unpaid.
So to try and work on my poker game and put in the hours on the tables on top of that is a really draining job, especially when I'm also trying to fit in going to the gym regularly, learning German, blogging and writing new material.
I've also got a bit of a sweat going because the woman at the Thai embassy was pretty skeptical when I applied for my 4th tourist Visa after seeing I already had three stamps in my Passport. She took my application form, passport and $40, so fingers crossed when I go back on Tuesday I've been given the green light. I am trying not to think about it much, but it will be a nightmare if I get rejected here because one of my friends from back home is flying into Bangkok later in the month to meet me. He's super excited about it so I don't want to ruin his mood by telling him he'll be visiting me in Vietnam instead
I'm a big fan of Hanoi. Would recommend here to anyone for a visit or a visa run. Much prettier city than Saigon and a much better creative expat scene. Egg coffee is the absolute business too.
Will let you guys know as soon as I find out if I can get on my flight to Chiang Mai on Thursday
Would love to hear stories any of you guys may have about not getting in/almost not getting into Thailand and what you did about it.
