"Whats up Pokerstrategy?"

you lazy bugger! think ive seen a couple of your videos on youtube perhaps. will be following this, should be an interesting blog and a good adventure for you.

enjoy the trip, hope you bink the main!

Ha my bad.

Yeh I dual my blogs which is fine obv.

Yeah I recentldid podcasts with timex, neverscaredb and krantz on YouTube.

Sitting in Budapest airport now, really great airport, first run bad out of the way.
I bought a bag for Vegas. A man bag I guess.

It snap broke when I checked in and had to buy another for 100 euro.

Hopefully I leave my run bad in Europe and bring on the Vegas run good.

Subbed, loved the SCOOP-thread. Good luck!

I really enjoyed your youtube interviews with Timex and NeverscaredB, and hope to see more .

Best of luck with the WSOP, hope you do well.

Jesus **** my ****ing life!

Flight from New York to Vegas cancelled and huge 20 hour wait for next flight.

Missing first day of the schedule too. Too tilted!

Like it was and is just so brutal. Cliffs

- arrive in dry New York and find out flight is cancelled due to weather
- takes 90 minutes to collect bags
- takes another 90 minutes to speak to representative
- no compensation just 10 dollar voucher
- check in then check out so can go t restaurant
- use airport service to use local hotel who set me up a free transfer
- find the place and then wait 90 minutes for transfer to arrive (meanwhile pick up Fatima, more on her later)
- arrive to hotel and wait 60 minutes, get to frot of cue and told there is no rooms left and they overbooked
- go back to airport get told its Moody's fault but no rooms left in city now
- Fatima is on same leg of all these journies and is petty pissed too
- we get back to airport trying to just find somewhere to be comfortable after travelling for 26 hours
- get into debate about Muslims and Muslims n England with Fatima think we got a1-0 there
- check in again at3am and find some floor for 3 hours
- fond Greg quiet spot then 6 truck drivers arrived drinking from. 3.30amand whenever one of them. As a joke. Hat they find amusing they all. Pretend they are in. Their trucks and have imaginary yet very loud horns
- move 3 gates down and just as my eyes close a baby arrives crying

There's a flight to Vegas in 2 hours but its of course full so waiting around here.

Americans are just so dumb, Jesus. This airport is absolute shambles.

Apologies about the negativity in the thread, I realise that listening to me moan is incredibly tilting but just needed to vent alot for the last 12 hours.

Should be in Vegas in around 8 hours and will hopefully be the best 3 weeks of my life.

Grind mode on, no mistakes. I've loved the transition to MTTs in the fact that you can play different with different stack depths of course there is some similarities in cash games sometimes you're 200bb deep but then the pre flop decisions are not so close like there's not a spot you would tank for 20 seconds about what to do pre flop but in MTTs you really gotta be in the zone and concentrate on every spot.

The deep stacked spots I think I can auto pilot pretty well I have pretty solid pre designed ranges for almost any spot for 50+ bb poker as standard and the best thing about my game is making dynamic adjustments quicker than others. I think it would be easy for me to say ah let's just play these deep tacked tournies vs these mtt fish who play terrible when deep. It would be naive and arrogant and I think I've got to respect them and admire their short stacked game and hopefully put myself into a position where I can look back in 1 month and not regret any f the exits from th tournaments that ill play.

Another thing that I will focus on is my table demeanour. I left the dr dre headphones in Hungary ill sometimes watch some films but in general want to enjoy these tournaments, meet people from different backgrounds and learn something genuinely interesting about 1 different person per day who I will try to blog about.

I know I'm committing a lot here but would also like to do some reviews on hotels as well so when I'm out of tournaments will go to some less known hotels play an hour of cash and report back with my findings and keep a poker chip for a souvenir.

Updates throughout the summer will be on @4bet2induce

Alright will do a tourney report.

Sat down and we started three handed, I had what seemed to be 2 weak regs who let me chip up from 20-23k at 25/50. A huge New York whale sat down limp calling 100% and not folding to cbets. And we made some good value bts and barrels and accumulates to 26k.

German guy st down nd cold 4bet firt 2 hands and was spewing massively. Jono beck sat on my right too.

At 100/200 Jon opens cut off I 3bet for third time in a row, German cold 4, I click it back and he jams aq into my ak.

I lose on the qj2 for lots f chips on a really good table and in position to the fish.

The fish gets up to 60k lol and then he is just never ever folding.

So when he limps hijac I don't want to raise cbet and fold a4 as it has bad playability so just looking to realise my equity vs him and jammed 3800 at 100/200 and he said he would gamble and called with kj and flopped me dead.

Really nappy to bust but feeling great abit my game.

Tomorrow is the 4max. I played 3-4 handed for 90 minutes today and feel very comfortable. Will updates at end f day tomorrow

Subbed for the adventure! Good luck! Any pics?

That was a $1600 at venetian? I've only played one tourney there (happened to be a $1600 also) and it was a total nitfest, never made it back bc I just didn't see much value there. Sounds like you binked a much nicer table than I did

Feel a lot better mentally today. Have a v good table and hope we can do a run .

Around 2000 runners.

1500/wsop

We started on a table with 7 fish and 1 reg so was very happy.

We chipped up to 6.xk when I 3bet qq, old guy peels and min raises me on q92hhx and then calls my 3bet before folding the turn.

We play tight because its full ring pre ante and then we find aces. Open to 375 at 75/150 get 2 calls and cbet 375 on q72. Reg makes it 775 and we call.

Turn is ugly queen and we check call 1200 and check check on river and we win.

We play tight and get 1 4b bluff through and make a few value bets and get up to 8k.

We just play 4 hours of small pot poker and chip up to 13k.

A couple of the fish run crazy good and knock each other out and are all replaced by good regs so I'm very happy to move to a new table with 11.5k at 150/300

One last hand before the break where we had not played a hand in 2 orbits and new guy had opened 20 hands in a row, 3bet 50% of spots and squeezed 50% of spots opened and got 4 callers and we call the big blind.

Flop is a44 and he cbets and looks really weak everybody folds and I call oop. Turn is a 2 and it goes check,check. River ten and I get 1250 into 3k and he calls with j9 high rofl.

New table I open 3 times in 2 orbits ad people squeeze and have aces each time.

Cme back from the break with 11k jake ballsiger has heaps and is spewing a bit.

He opens we jam 99 from blinds. He folds. Next hand sa,e thing but weave aj.

Immediate hand he opens and we are now a,little,deeper as its 300/600/75 and I make it 2400 he makes it 4800 and I'm fist pumping so hard. I pile QQ and he obviously has KK

Finished 456th with 240? Paying from 2200.

Felt really **** as was for a 35k pot on good new table with great structure.

It's really easy to say you're playing great when you're 0/4 but I feel like I've never been in the zone like I have this week at the tables.

Think ill go play the 1k today but because its so shallow will play so,etching after if I don't get a stack.
