Back from San Remo !

10 mai 2008

Sooo hard to start again writing this blog ! In Canada I could have written 10 pages every day and now I have to fight hardly to make an entry ! I just hope my english which is probably getting worse and worse is not the main reason....

Anyway I have to tell everything about my poker week end !!! Yessss for those who still didn't know I won online a seat for the Campus Poker Master Final in San Remo, where all the best students-poker-players wanted to win part of the "30.000 euros-and-a-car of prize pool !!!

San Remo Casino is probably the most beautiful one I've ever seen, and I felt like a real pro during these days ;-) :

Not necessarily so impressive when you're outside, but once inside...

... just woooooow !!!

My tough table

Shuffle up and deal !

My pro card ;-)

100% poker faces... ;-)

There were some cameras recording everything ......

A LOT of cameras.... ;-)

The tournament was over for me, but I just played one more hand for fun with some others already out of the tournament...and for the picture ;-)

Just before the paid structure...electric atmoshpere...

And even if one week after I'm still so angry of this tournament, I have to tell you how it worked for me ! ;-)

My table was really much harder than what I thought it would be, and there were just 2 guys who seemed to be bad players...so I decided to wait and I try to trap one of them. So I just played one hand during the first round, and everything changes right after the beginning of the second one (45 minutes after the beginning of the tournament) I had 10-10, I raised and one of the bad player calls me. Then the flop is As-10-4, so I am more than happy by this flop, I bet...the guy raised...so I raised all in and he called me with As-Queen which is...really bad played from him.
Then turn : Jack and river : King for an unbelievable straight for the bad guy....soooo sick !!!

We started at 2000 chips and I just had 130 chips left after just 45 minutes...I thought I was already dead, but I succeeded to stay alive in the tournament during....7 more hours !! :-)

I reached to mutilply my stack by 40, but I was finally out at 10:45 pm, 47th out of 175 which is not really bad, after how everything started...I am still angry at this ***** hand which would have changed everything for my tournament...rrrrrrr

Anyway that was a really nice experience and I'm ready to do that again at any time ! :-) And the good point is that you might see me on TV next June, but I'll tell you when and where when I know it ;-)

See you in a few days for other news !
