Just another saturday, one of them
A Saturdays adventure…..... one of em :)
I was invited to a birthday party bash some weekends ago, but skipped it, I just didn’t feel like dressing up in 50‘s dress and freezing my as of in short skirt. And that was the theme, and I think one should respect the theme so I said I meet them later on instead.
Or am I just a sick gambler who rather goes to the casino and play there Saturday tourney and use that as a warm up for party, yeaaaa most likely.
Anyway, I played the tourney (ofc lol ) and it was not so many people so it turned more or less out to be a 10 seats STT 50 euro buy in and rebuy and add on, and all made rebuys and add so price pool was ok for a warm up party before the evenings adventure
Had a very nice guy from Sicily on my left and I mange to both spill a drink and a coffee on him AND ask him to show me his testicles, well I TRIED to say show me some places where they filmed Don Coreleone (godfather) when I come to Sicily soon, (going a weekend with my Em)
-Arghhh how can I know that if you pronounce it slightly wrong it means testicals????
Well he took it fairly good and just said yes of course no problem I show you around.
Lolaments.
Actually he played very well, for being an Italian, I took him out tough but that’s not more than fair, limping K5 off UTG in a STT is like mortal sin.
HOWEVER I didn’t manage to win i came second.
And my railing boy came to watch!!
Amazing. Have I told you about my railing boy ? no?
Ahh well… he comes on Saturdays and rail. And I found it odd; I mean HOW FUN is it to rail a poker tournament a Saturday, NOT. He is very shy. So last Saturday after seeing him there so many times and last Saturday both me and Em where more then tipsy, id say like more very (un)charming drunk. Soooo after he stood there for 6 hrs railing and it finally where final table I tried to talk to him.
Tried= me talking him saying yes no.
Veeeery shy. But hey hoe, I tried.
And he left.
Lol and I thought about it aaaaaaaaall week, naee maybe not but I did think about one or two times that I might have offended him asking why he was railing, I mean Its nice people railing I just was curious why?
SO when he showed up this Saturday as well I said
-Hey (and his name) soo nice to see you! (lol)
He was very surprised I remembered his name and am not sure due to my drunkenness state last time or if he just surprised in general anyone remember his name, HE IS very shy!
So I teased him a bit saying now I get luck ***** is here. Bla bla bla. And i also asked him why he left last time? And if I scared him home? (I know, it’s so not nice of me to be so direct but FFS he is around 30!! He gotta learn how to talk to chicks else he lives with his mum rest of his life) anyway he said
- No it was late really. (lolament)
THAT I don’t get, he rail a tourney from 15:00 to 23:00 and miss out last hr??? dohhh!
BUT here is where it gets funny…. I asked some of the regulars what’s the story here, why he come and rail? They said he played some smaller tourneys’ and busted and now he don’t want to play anymore until he learned a bit more so he is railing. Well that’s respect but in all fairness, learning on Casino Dragonara???? From who????xxx the 90 yr old never let go of a draw player or xxxx “I had a pair” or the proffesoor best best in the world??? OR even worse loud Max that don’t get we are playing texas holdem, I guess as he plays so bad.
And now it gets even more funnier. Apparently He phoned one of the regulars asking if I was playing?? Huuuuuu?? Come on! He is so so shy, he doesn’t even dare to look at me. Lol, poor him, next time I give him my card and say phone me straight instead and ask tiger! Lol then he die. Am herby making it my mission to UN shy him. FFS, he got to go with the Malta fase!
COS I MEAN… seriously…. Ibiza wannabe area am not going to be a frequent visitor in, or well, at least not in summer time, it has to smell so so bad. Walking up there to meet the Girls I saw 7 people puking. One was puking while his friend eat a kebab beside him, they where both sitting down on the street. NH GG WP
Well the best with that area this time was I found a drink that reminded me of pear milkshake with a drop of bailymint the one who guess which one get a price.
We took that one and a cuba libre so we get two each every time ordering, it was a long que, can’t be bothered to WAIT when I want drinks.
And am honest really surprised that people just take anyone to get laid, that’s what it looks like indeed and I saw so many odd things and especially last hr, like desperate hunt game starts NOW. GO Go GO!
Trust me am so so happy am good alone not the slightest ashamed over that. Seriously I rather do that then going into that swamp hunt. NEVER.
Am hereby declare that anyone who sees me go home with anyone from that swamp can come and get an expensive price!
I never have been a one night stand girl and after seeing what I saw Saturday I won’t ever be, I done one night stand once in a my lifetime and to be honest about that we were so drunk and had a fun evening together so it was just natural but then when finally there we just laughed at it more or less.
AND we are friends still so no worries.
And as a top on the cake, walking to Wemblyes for a cab, we saw a girl puking, standing bend forward puking like crazy AND her boy for the night doing her right there like that. OMFG.. AND his friend was standing few meters away peeing like nothing.
I got little worried thinking this is really not good, she is so drunk and puking she clearly has no idea what is going on, this gotta be close to rape. But no nooo.. Suddenly she wakes up from her puking and I hear her tell the boy to grap her tits. Omg.
Well.. I might be too old to appreciate the Ibiza wannabe area, so instead of whining I should just avoid it or close my eyes, I know. But I had to get it off me
Play well!

Just not good enough :(
Well i think if one can’t win with the hands I got tonight one cant do much really.
I played so much live games and I laugh my ass off at people busting first level, how can one even go broke when blinds are 25/50 1 hr blind and stack 15 k????
I busted after 32 minutes.
We played 10 hands in those 32 minutes.
I was in those 10 hands dealt in following exact order:
KQ suited
JJ
-
-
KQ suited
-
AK
AA
AA
AA
And last AA brought me out.
Disgusted.
They call with 74 off preflop aswell as 49 off, is this Italy’s best players?
Then I want to move there. Instantly.
Most annoying part, they feel so good, when they play so bad. I feel ashamed if I play a hand like that and win, because i want to play good. But we are all different
I spend first 1 hr in the bar beating myself up, I seriously did, I mean a bad beat now and then WTF no big deal, one can take that but these hands boom boom boom that’s pretty too much. And I really mentally prepared so well for this game, perfect structure for me, I NEVER get tired or bored around a table live. I got the sickest stamina in live tours, I can be awake 70 hrs in a row without even feeling tired, I can be without food and drinks for 40 hrs if I have too and still be focused. Am not bullshiting you and am not saying this to hear woow bla bla bla, its fact. And I know myself and my limits as person and as a player well.
I was bit surprised when bartender gave me the bill of 16 triple vodka redbull after 1 hr.
I didn’t even feel slightest dizzy I just felt sick to my bone over the play.
I should know better than to go broke on first level in a deep stack tourney.
It’s just not acceptable.
It’s just NOT at all acceptable.
Never.
Its poker and I work with players on daily basis talking them trough these things, I know its variance and I know it’s just poker and I know it happens, am a proo in helping my players trough bad times, just not very good handling myself.
My phones, all 4 of them, are never off, regardless where I am or what am doing I NEVER refuse to pick up when one of my players call me, and I listen for hrs, we discuss and we talk. I don’t always agree, and I know sometimes that’s what they need, but that’s not right, I say my mind, and sometimes we fight but in end it helps. Sometimes I close account down for few days and that’s a border line what I should or should not do, after all we earn on rake, but we don’t earn on broke players do we? Most of my players have also become close close friends over the years, and its more than just business. So i know very well its variance and just to move on, but if i dont analyze the play i did and discuss it with people i respect i cant get better. And i am not doing anything in this world without aim to get better and better. If not having that aim, its IMO not worth doing.
Tomorrow is another day and there be new hands to play and take decisions in.
And am right back in it.
For sure.
Just very gutted when the game strategy don’t work.
AA 3 hands in a row and out after 32 minutes, it should be a price for that even.
See you around the tables.

Portomaso Live madness
I think after all live games I ever played, tonight was THE weirdest, by far.
And for the record, I played a shitload of live games, I used to help run a poker club in Sweden, we had tourneys 5 evenings a week, I am experienced both in ruling, TD, dealing and playing, so I will never accept wrong ruling in key pots. Or any pots, but I can let it go if it’s not of any importance.
OK…. It’s the Malta Series Of Poker this weekend at Portomaso.
Today I played the 330 one and not much to say, I got my KK cracked after 3 hrs play for a respectful pot and was low after that. Folded and waited patiently for 1.5 hrs and looking down on AK on my BB where there are two limpers and one all in, stick em in and are in good shape against his AJ but with J on flop. Thanks and good bye. No problems. Ohh one funny thing… after first hand are dealt one player at my table says in Italian very upset (I got it explained for me ) that he only got 2 cards, he should have 5 so what kind of poker is this?? Hahahahahah.. he never even heard of texas holdem, NH GG WP!
OK… play some cash game but they smoke like maniacs in there so I can’t really stand it, especially not now when being treated for pneumonia as well, its difficult so I skip that and Em and I place our self’s in the bar :P we good at that.
After a while a friend come and say we missing two people for a satellite for tomorrows 550 game come one girls, well, I am playing it anyway and I cannot be bothered with a satellite that takes forever and anyway end in bingo bingo and I end up paying more for the tourney then getting straight in. Arghhh but ok, we are bored and poker is fun! So we say ok. 20 ppl, 4 seats win.
I double in hand 3 and that’s really important in satellites as the structures are often crap. I limp in with 23 of diamonds, just can’t resist it ehh :P and one Italian wants to raise to 500 (blinds 50) (lol) but forget to say raise so it a call, so whole table limping (lol). Flop says 236 I think he has KK, QQ or so and he will pay me of so I check, he raise, all fold to me, I re raise, he go all in, all after my plan and I call, he shows KK and my little hand hold up and he hates me, that’s hater nr 1.
Trust me there be plenty more before this evening are over.
1 hr later… Am on button and have KK. UTG goes all in, smaller stack, so I only call hoping to get some more in, I get BB in and pot around 5000.
Flop comes A 28 Check check. Turn another diamond making it 3 diamonds. Check check, typical satellite game bhaaaa. River another A. ok…… so now… BB shows his cards, the all in guy show his card, and dealer ask me to show mine,
I say: why?
He says: so we can see who won !
Funny!
I say: but who says I have checked? Am not checking this board.
AND now the fuzz start and those of you who live in Malta knows how Maltese discuss so add that with 100000 million times that’s how it is to play with Italians, it’s really really tiring. Ok floor come and the BB guy who has an Ace (lol) are very angry. And Floor says I need to show my card and that’s it. I refuse. I can be very stubborn if I know am right, no way am accepting that. They discuss forever!! And call the TD from the big tournament and he instantly says ofc she cannot be forced to show her hand, she has the option to act with their cards face up. So I bet 3000 and the man with the Ace folds, I can’t resist showing my KK and NOW am almost scared how much they hate me and I know now I need to focus and play well they hunt me in every pot I go. LOL LOVE THAT!!! And they scream in Italian and it’s very chaotic to say the least. They hate me and Em badly.
Hand after Em is all in pre against a guy, and he flops a straight, Em says: naee don’t worry I get Q on river and get a better straight. River= Q . omg he get angry splasching his chips lol. Hand after that, she is all in again against a small stack that flopped two pair and again she pulls a miraculous card to get trips (lol) they really hate us now. It’s going to get worse.
We are down to one table and they make a redraw, and this is funny, if you make a redraw and everyone get new seats, then you can never be sit out on button to wait for your turn, as you normally can if they move people into another table, you all understand what I mean right? Soooo… who do they make sitout first round? Me of course. I don’t say anything am just simple can’t be bothered, its one fecking hand, but Em goes mad (lol) and try to explain the stupidity in this. Some other people on the table also try to explain the stupidity.
I ask them: ok guys I don’t care, only thing I care about is if you going to discuss stop the clock.
The guy that folded the Ace against my KK are THE most angriest man in world history and tells ME, that has not even said a word a long long sentence in Italian spitting his saliva like a rabies dog and pointing his finger, (lol) I smile and say- it was really nice weather today don’t you think?
He doesn’t understand anyway so I can say whatever. ITALIANS can’t speak English at all, seriously, I thought French people where bad but this is silly bad. Anyway, game continue, me sitting out, I don’t care. If I was small stack I prob would care. Em says to Jackie, an Maltese woman who plays a lot, we know her well, she says something to her in English, and they are not even in the hand any of them, and it’s about something totally not revolving poker. And then a new hand is being dealt…. And SUDDEN a little man that sits in a corner with a computer and a camera, a BLOGGER! Jumps up behind me pointing his finger at Em and SCREAMING, literally SCREAMING
- NO ENGLISH ALLOWED AT TABLE. YOU HEAR, FROM NOW ON, NO ENGLISH ALLOWED. YOU HEAR!!!!
What?
Jackie the Maltese woman says say, what??? She doesn’t even understand Italian.
The dealer says what?
The railing crowd says what?
Ok, Not only did he make me close to deaf!!!, he also pisses me off, who are he to come and even breath in our direction, he is not in the tour, he is not the dealer, he is not ANYTHING. HE is a blogger.
So ask him to please leave us alone and go back to his little laptop and continue his geek sad life not having money to play poker. (well I got angry, sorry) I mean, how can they refuse us speaking English, when the Italians speaking Italian ALL the time. He goes mental!! Completely mental.
Floor comes AND also announces we can’t speak English because the dealer doesn’t understand it. HOW can that be our problem??? Official language in Malta are Maltese and English, English is spoken EVERYWHERE on every poker scene around the world. It’s just so bad run all of it.
Thank god a English girl who works for the Italian poker site that arrange the weekend see the ridiculous in this and stop the farce and give us a dealer who can speak both English and Italian. There are a lot of people railing all this fuzz trust me and they all say same thing, this is crazy, how can he come and even interfere in anything and act like this. I let it go, cos else I known it’s going to tilt me out of this tour, Em is insane angry and I understand her, he pointed at her and directed very angry bad bad Italian words to her, I do understand quite a lot actually but they don’t need to know that. And he been following her around all day (she is very pretty) taking pictures putting on his stupid little blog, pictures that he now been forced to remove, by Em, (lol)
I call the floor and calmy informs him that 2 weeks ago I emailed the organization of the tourney in order to get confirmation other people then Italians are welcome and English can be used and I have that black in white in an email (and luckily enough I remember the person’s name and say it, I also did email regarding that as it’s an Italian tour arranger so am safe and sound ) so I will ofc take discussion with him regarding this tomorrow. So pointless to waste time on this now as I understand the floor don’t really have any authority at all so let’s just play.
THEN he tries to say sorry this and sorry that, I say I rather take that discussion with someone who is in charge so if we pls can just get some peace and play this sat to finish.
After another 30 minutes the floor comes back announcing there been a misunderstanding we can ofc speak English. Clearly he been told from higher instance he is way out of line.
THEN this hand happens. We are down to 7 players so its starting to get edge and every move is huge important. Am in BB and actually thinking of going all in and steal the blinds with my A2 spades.
I do a mistake here, I for some reason, but its messy everyone is screaming all the time so easy to get confused, there is a raise, not very big but hardly worth it for me unless someone else calls too, and I mistakenly think it’s me to act, not seeing someone already called his raise so I say fold after some thinking, and then dealer stop me saying it’s not my time to act, ohh sorry I say and look proper and see there is a caller to the rasie, and SB to act, he fold. So now its back to me, and here they go bananas again, screaming I have to fold I have to fold, (lol, they know i can stick all in with any two and not scared doing so so they want me out of the hand, i cover them all as well) dealer says I can call the raise but I can’t re raise. I ACTUALLY wants to call now, as that caller in too I can see value in paying that on top of my BB,with my suited connected Ace, A2 spades. They almost start world war 3 here over this, and I just sit quiet and ask the dealer as he are the one in charge really, - what are my options? He says you have to fold. Now he changed his mind (lol) Iot of people are saying the same as he said first I can call but not re raise.
I don’t fight here the atmosphere are really really angry around us, almost uncomfortable, and also ther can be different rules her for different places actually so i respect that, I ask the dealer again and if he is sure my only option are fold. He says yes madam. Ok I don’t argue I just fold I don’t want to get killed on my way home by an angry Italian donk. I would of course won the hand if in, no one had ace, and ace on flop and check check check all way to river.
THEN the Dealers says after the hand, he made mistake as my cards has not reached the muck I didn’t have to fold. NOW we go bananas again, not me I just shake my hand and ask for a waitress. I really need a drink.
But the others are wacko caco and floor comes running, and then he starts to explain to me, I tell him I don’t care I didn’t complain and ask him to get me waiter. He continues in poorly English explaining, and I again say I don’t care, what is he going to do? Replay the hand????
This goes on FORVER, and then the English girl working for the site that luckily heard and seen all says- seriously get real, she didn’t complain, she didn’t say a word, its everyone else it’s the Italians making all the fuzz so pls stop this now. He then back off.
I say loud and clear to Em across the table- jesus they really are scared of us so they need to use all sort of nonsense stuff, but I understand they play so so bad really. Well I can’t help it, I get bitchy after all this hazzle, and it works they get more and more tilted over the fact they can’t tilt us.
The English girl came up to us afterward and thanked us for being so understanding and taking it so good, saying we been really good about it. Well in end we contributed too for sure, i know, but one can’t sit and take shit, I would never do that and I know I play better poke then them so yea better to show our skills there instead, yes that’s correct true. Bhaaaa! But I won’t ever take shit, ever!
Now I need sleep.
And yes, I took one of the 4 seats. So tomorrow (today) is freeeeeee! Or i save some of the buy in to the 2200 instead, as they kindly agreed for me to move the seat worth 550 into the 2200...dunno yet. It starts in 8 hrs.... bhaaa. night night
Hep hep!
Play well!

And for the record, I played a shitload of live games, I used to help run a poker club in Sweden, we had tourneys 5 evenings a week, I am experienced both in ruling, TD, dealing and playing, so I will never accept wrong ruling in key pots. Or any pots, but I can let it go if it’s not of any importance.
OK…. It’s the Malta Series Of Poker this weekend at Portomaso.
Today I played the 330 one and not much to say, I got my KK cracked after 3 hrs play for a respectful pot and was low after that. Folded and waited patiently for 1.5 hrs and looking down on AK on my BB where there are two limpers and one all in, stick em in and are in good shape against his AJ but with J on flop. Thanks and good bye. No problems. Ohh one funny thing… after first hand are dealt one player at my table says in Italian very upset (I got it explained for me ) that he only got 2 cards, he should have 5 so what kind of poker is this?? Hahahahahah.. he never even heard of texas holdem, NH GG WP!
OK… play some cash game but they smoke like maniacs in there so I can’t really stand it, especially not now when being treated for pneumonia as well, its difficult so I skip that and Em and I place our self’s in the bar :P we good at that.
After a while a friend come and say we missing two people for a satellite for tomorrows 550 game come one girls, well, I am playing it anyway and I cannot be bothered with a satellite that takes forever and anyway end in bingo bingo and I end up paying more for the tourney then getting straight in. Arghhh but ok, we are bored and poker is fun! So we say ok. 20 ppl, 4 seats win.
I double in hand 3 and that’s really important in satellites as the structures are often crap. I limp in with 23 of diamonds, just can’t resist it ehh :P and one Italian wants to raise to 500 (blinds 50) (lol) but forget to say raise so it a call, so whole table limping (lol). Flop says 236 I think he has KK, QQ or so and he will pay me of so I check, he raise, all fold to me, I re raise, he go all in, all after my plan and I call, he shows KK and my little hand hold up and he hates me, that’s hater nr 1.
Trust me there be plenty more before this evening are over.
1 hr later… Am on button and have KK. UTG goes all in, smaller stack, so I only call hoping to get some more in, I get BB in and pot around 5000.
Flop comes A 28 Check check. Turn another diamond making it 3 diamonds. Check check, typical satellite game bhaaaa. River another A. ok…… so now… BB shows his cards, the all in guy show his card, and dealer ask me to show mine,
I say: why?
He says: so we can see who won !
Funny!
I say: but who says I have checked? Am not checking this board.
AND now the fuzz start and those of you who live in Malta knows how Maltese discuss so add that with 100000 million times that’s how it is to play with Italians, it’s really really tiring. Ok floor come and the BB guy who has an Ace (lol) are very angry. And Floor says I need to show my card and that’s it. I refuse. I can be very stubborn if I know am right, no way am accepting that. They discuss forever!! And call the TD from the big tournament and he instantly says ofc she cannot be forced to show her hand, she has the option to act with their cards face up. So I bet 3000 and the man with the Ace folds, I can’t resist showing my KK and NOW am almost scared how much they hate me and I know now I need to focus and play well they hunt me in every pot I go. LOL LOVE THAT!!! And they scream in Italian and it’s very chaotic to say the least. They hate me and Em badly.
Hand after Em is all in pre against a guy, and he flops a straight, Em says: naee don’t worry I get Q on river and get a better straight. River= Q . omg he get angry splasching his chips lol. Hand after that, she is all in again against a small stack that flopped two pair and again she pulls a miraculous card to get trips (lol) they really hate us now. It’s going to get worse.
We are down to one table and they make a redraw, and this is funny, if you make a redraw and everyone get new seats, then you can never be sit out on button to wait for your turn, as you normally can if they move people into another table, you all understand what I mean right? Soooo… who do they make sitout first round? Me of course. I don’t say anything am just simple can’t be bothered, its one fecking hand, but Em goes mad (lol) and try to explain the stupidity in this. Some other people on the table also try to explain the stupidity.
I ask them: ok guys I don’t care, only thing I care about is if you going to discuss stop the clock.
The guy that folded the Ace against my KK are THE most angriest man in world history and tells ME, that has not even said a word a long long sentence in Italian spitting his saliva like a rabies dog and pointing his finger, (lol) I smile and say- it was really nice weather today don’t you think?
He doesn’t understand anyway so I can say whatever. ITALIANS can’t speak English at all, seriously, I thought French people where bad but this is silly bad. Anyway, game continue, me sitting out, I don’t care. If I was small stack I prob would care. Em says to Jackie, an Maltese woman who plays a lot, we know her well, she says something to her in English, and they are not even in the hand any of them, and it’s about something totally not revolving poker. And then a new hand is being dealt…. And SUDDEN a little man that sits in a corner with a computer and a camera, a BLOGGER! Jumps up behind me pointing his finger at Em and SCREAMING, literally SCREAMING
- NO ENGLISH ALLOWED AT TABLE. YOU HEAR, FROM NOW ON, NO ENGLISH ALLOWED. YOU HEAR!!!!
What?
Jackie the Maltese woman says say, what??? She doesn’t even understand Italian.
The dealer says what?
The railing crowd says what?
Ok, Not only did he make me close to deaf!!!, he also pisses me off, who are he to come and even breath in our direction, he is not in the tour, he is not the dealer, he is not ANYTHING. HE is a blogger.
So ask him to please leave us alone and go back to his little laptop and continue his geek sad life not having money to play poker. (well I got angry, sorry) I mean, how can they refuse us speaking English, when the Italians speaking Italian ALL the time. He goes mental!! Completely mental.
Floor comes AND also announces we can’t speak English because the dealer doesn’t understand it. HOW can that be our problem??? Official language in Malta are Maltese and English, English is spoken EVERYWHERE on every poker scene around the world. It’s just so bad run all of it.
Thank god a English girl who works for the Italian poker site that arrange the weekend see the ridiculous in this and stop the farce and give us a dealer who can speak both English and Italian. There are a lot of people railing all this fuzz trust me and they all say same thing, this is crazy, how can he come and even interfere in anything and act like this. I let it go, cos else I known it’s going to tilt me out of this tour, Em is insane angry and I understand her, he pointed at her and directed very angry bad bad Italian words to her, I do understand quite a lot actually but they don’t need to know that. And he been following her around all day (she is very pretty) taking pictures putting on his stupid little blog, pictures that he now been forced to remove, by Em, (lol)
I call the floor and calmy informs him that 2 weeks ago I emailed the organization of the tourney in order to get confirmation other people then Italians are welcome and English can be used and I have that black in white in an email (and luckily enough I remember the person’s name and say it, I also did email regarding that as it’s an Italian tour arranger so am safe and sound ) so I will ofc take discussion with him regarding this tomorrow. So pointless to waste time on this now as I understand the floor don’t really have any authority at all so let’s just play.
THEN he tries to say sorry this and sorry that, I say I rather take that discussion with someone who is in charge so if we pls can just get some peace and play this sat to finish.
After another 30 minutes the floor comes back announcing there been a misunderstanding we can ofc speak English. Clearly he been told from higher instance he is way out of line.
THEN this hand happens. We are down to 7 players so its starting to get edge and every move is huge important. Am in BB and actually thinking of going all in and steal the blinds with my A2 spades.
I do a mistake here, I for some reason, but its messy everyone is screaming all the time so easy to get confused, there is a raise, not very big but hardly worth it for me unless someone else calls too, and I mistakenly think it’s me to act, not seeing someone already called his raise so I say fold after some thinking, and then dealer stop me saying it’s not my time to act, ohh sorry I say and look proper and see there is a caller to the rasie, and SB to act, he fold. So now its back to me, and here they go bananas again, screaming I have to fold I have to fold, (lol, they know i can stick all in with any two and not scared doing so so they want me out of the hand, i cover them all as well) dealer says I can call the raise but I can’t re raise. I ACTUALLY wants to call now, as that caller in too I can see value in paying that on top of my BB,with my suited connected Ace, A2 spades. They almost start world war 3 here over this, and I just sit quiet and ask the dealer as he are the one in charge really, - what are my options? He says you have to fold. Now he changed his mind (lol) Iot of people are saying the same as he said first I can call but not re raise.
I don’t fight here the atmosphere are really really angry around us, almost uncomfortable, and also ther can be different rules her for different places actually so i respect that, I ask the dealer again and if he is sure my only option are fold. He says yes madam. Ok I don’t argue I just fold I don’t want to get killed on my way home by an angry Italian donk. I would of course won the hand if in, no one had ace, and ace on flop and check check check all way to river.
THEN the Dealers says after the hand, he made mistake as my cards has not reached the muck I didn’t have to fold. NOW we go bananas again, not me I just shake my hand and ask for a waitress. I really need a drink.
But the others are wacko caco and floor comes running, and then he starts to explain to me, I tell him I don’t care I didn’t complain and ask him to get me waiter. He continues in poorly English explaining, and I again say I don’t care, what is he going to do? Replay the hand????
This goes on FORVER, and then the English girl working for the site that luckily heard and seen all says- seriously get real, she didn’t complain, she didn’t say a word, its everyone else it’s the Italians making all the fuzz so pls stop this now. He then back off.

Connected the lap to the TV and cuddle up in bed to see the EPT live stream
I mean that’s a normal Friday right? Lol. No shit Sherlock am single. Whoooo!
It’s quite funny to hear the talking in the break when William and Johan think the cameras are off and discussing the crazy Russian and how to correct spelling mistake in their blogs hahahahah.. humour on high level!
eh.. you know now i got this program that makes the words red if they are wrong, so its easy hahahhaahhahahaha.. welcome to the computer world!
Am so so pleased Johan is on this final table finally he so deserves it, IMO he is one if not the best and definitely the most pleasant and nicest Swedish MTT player.
And its so nice that Thomas Kremser is TD again, he was not in Copenhagen and I missed his very respectful person. And stand on his feet looking totally perfect for 5 days in a road a 14 hrs a day, He is THE Td in the business but charge over 2000 euro per day so hey hoe, why should he complain about aching feet’s
My girl Em, which I often bring into my blog, got an email from him other day, he wanted her to deal in Monte Carlo, however she can’t, it’s a conflict of interest in her job. Too bad, it be an awesome experience. And Anna panna would ofc go along and tyake care of the drink list :P ALL TO what they do best best!
OK break over am back railing!
Go Johan go Johan, and yea Wille too ofc! Just Johan little more :)\
Sandra is an underdog that be a great win for the poker industy if she wins, as she also won the EM in poker a few months ago!!

-cant win em all !
Ah well…. One cant win em all right!
Thursdays tourney at Dragonara, I busted just before FT and my girlfriend Em did well and manage to slide into the money :)\ whuiuuuuuu.. Em best best!
Well done. It was a really nice evening though, and NO we didn’t manage to stay away of the vodka in the redbulls. Am really crap keeping my promises to myself.
I picked up Em in a taxi, yes lazy, but it was pouring rain and I just set up company account, so need to try that, no not really but arghhhh.. come on, rain?
In taxi Em says she is pretty tired working like maniac all day, yea well we get us a few red bulls and that’s sorted I say, nooooo worries.
(I have lot of faith in this drink but am convinced now, it don’t help, it’s all in your mind)
She looks at me like a sweet dog pup with big brown eyes and say:
-hmmm is it going to be vodka in them?
(she’s from north of Sweden and her dialect here need to be heard to understand how absolute adorable it sounded)
I give up, never can resist a begging sweet someone, dog, human, male, female, ahh well am actually better resisting begging men for some reason as I find it very much “ turn off” with weak begging men, “my way is the fucking highway and u the whole lot can just fuck off” attitude is better, then and am all lost! If they also occasionally tell me to shut up and take some decisions of their own, Well then I could even be close to break the 4 yrs of no no. But i guess it takes a hooligan to get along for me to even consider that. Now I lost subject again. Sorry. Happens a lot.
Sooooooooooooooooooo.. Straight to bar to have a drink before tourney, I order for both of us, at least I thought so, silly me, should known better with this chick:
-two redbull vodka, thanks.
-yes Madam ( arghhhhhhhhh,, they gotta stop this seriously)
Em, says:
-and two for me.
I spin around and look at her and for second and for a little amount of time in world history I mistakenly thought she was joking, she was not. Lovely, started well this all right. Not.
Ah well… lets just say we had a good night, and manage to drive one of the male dealers so completely nervous and confused so he had to be swooped out, that was funny! It was a mistake putting the two of us on same table, as we clearly couldn’t help our self flirting with him when seeing he got so nervous -poor boy.

Saturday, March 7
In One outer's we have our faith :).....
Hola! ( am trying ok)
So I been back at Dragonara since the horrible Saturday tourney, I was there Tuesday and the guy I had this clash with got seated on my table, well he was very quiet, people know me quite well down there now and are very friendly so I guess he felt he been out of line, am sure he tells me next time he is drunk covered rat as moron!
Then I was there yesterday for the Thursday one as well, it was nice we where almost 40 ppl, cool!
And I got my darling dealer that always give me what I need, card wise. :P can we pls stop these naughty minds ?
Anyway, struggled so so so well with small stack, played well, patient and picked my spots perfect and I read hands so well, and did some great lay downs,(for being me lol) strange cos normally I toss em in and hope for the best being low stack but I just felt I badley wanted to be on FT again BECAUSE that moron I had clash with was good in chip so even a donkey could have played his stack. And christ i wanted to win over him again.
I was moved a few hrs into the game and am really really low stack like 6 BB, so I got no options whatsoever anymore. Any decent two is just to stick in. At the table is a Italian man, he didn’t play super super bad in all fairness he played ok, but he was on an unbelievable run, they told me when I came to the table to be ready to see some weird weird hands cos its been crazy. And indeed, he won everything, even the hands he folded preflop he would have won if in, sick run he had, and monster stack!
I doubled once whuuu but lost it hand after holding KK against AJ, AND a King on flop but also an 10 and then Q on river mehhheee.. hand after I doubled again, love swings allrigth, not! Then blinded down bla bla bla , then hep hep manage to double and its FT. Nice.
Ok we are down to 9 players, and the moron I was up against last Saturday start to argue AGAIN about a pot he won, not against me but it was an all in and he won a side pott, and he said dealer counted wrong, I just got so pissed hearing his nagging so I said: hey listen now you little nob, your job is to say fold, check raise ect dealers job is to sort the game out card and chip wise and he is doing it very very well, so can you just shut up and leave him to do his job ? (I know it was correct counted, I counted too same time as dealer, quiet in my head :)\, yes am a nerd, just that dealer did it another way taking side pots to one winner from one pot instead of same from two different stack, ghaaa)
Hahahahahah… he just instantly sat down and said : Sorry ann.( people from UK cant say Anna for some reason, its always Ann, just as in africa whenh i lived there they cant say anna they say Hanna)
Hahahahahahahah…. Inside I laugh so I almost couldn’t speak. Donkey. Then he started to talk about the Saturday and explain and blabla I just said let’s play, that’s old news, you already shown your colors, am not interested in changing my mind – yet.
Yes am a bitch.
So what?
Anyway…. Down to 7 ppl now and I look down on AA.
Still not ok in chips I got just over 20 k and blinds are 1400. Utg limps (nice I know he pays me off as well he is a Maltese donkey, nice one but he pays, probably having A10 AJ AQ) next fold, third raise to 5400, NICE BUT… it’s the Italian so I do get some feeling inside I can’t win this. I mean he win so many hands that plain simple are impossible hands, he just have one of those nights.
But yes I stick in, blinds and UTG folds and Italy calls, he has QQ. Utg says he folded AQ. Nice one Q gone.
Still I feel I can’t win this, even though he got like one out! Cos it’s the Italian!
And yea,, river … Q
Hahaha.. poker is so great!

Utg limps (nice I know he pays me off as well he is a Maltese donkey, nice one but he pays, probably having A10 AJ AQ) next fold, third raise to 5400, NICE BUT… it’s the Italian so I do get some feeling inside I can’t win this. I mean he win so many hands that plain simple are impossible hands, he just have one of those nights.
But yes I stick in, blinds and UTG folds and Italy calls, he has QQ. Utg says he folded AQ. Nice one Q gone.
Still I feel I can’t win this, even though he got like one out! Cos it’s the Italian!
And yea,, river … Q
Hahaha.. poker is so great!

Fliplolament session!
Couldnt sleep, am not good in sleeping :)\
Sooo… thought I make a spin, logged into an account I haven’t used for long and said I give it 2 hrs. Gambling and pure donkament, my mood was in need of FLIPs…
And that I got, but it was one of those sessions where you hit when you need and the cards just seem to go your way. Am glad though no one knows that’s my nick, because I played like a mental case recently released from institution or something. Arghhh.. but heyhoe, spinned 100 euro up to 2500 in 1 hr and decided to stop, felt tempted to do a Omaha session too but controlled myself :P and closed down.
It was not a session to learn something from that I am sure of, but it was fun, and I needed it, being in bad mood since that casino incident, and still not sure if I should make some sort of complain or whatever, who knows maybe it can give me free drinks lol, not like I need that for a while, I got to slow down that part and focus a bit now, important things going on work wise so got to give it my full attention. Probably not any time for online gaming either so felt good to do this short but ok session.
Play well out there.

A win i could been without!
Welll I don’t know what to say. Honestley.
I won, but it really was one win that I could be without.
Monthly final at dragonara, 100euro buy in, with one rebuy and one add on.
We had a great fun evening, a good mix with drinks and play. Final table down to Heads up was great too.
Then the problem started. Daniel the one in charge for the evening was leaving his shift, and someone I never seen handling a poker tournament stepped in, I mean I don’t care, we all know very well the rules so why worry.
We started heads upwith similar amount of chips then he won a few smaller flips and I was down to not even one BB, (BB 20 k)it happens its no big deal.
Thats how it is Heads up, lotto lotto. Especially as they cut the time and jumped one blinds level and had sick blinds in end, i been FT 6 times there last month but never it taken this long so i never seen how they do the blinds deeper, sick structure.
We end up all in pre regardless as I don’t have full blinds even anymore and cards are on the back……
When river out I don’t get why he come and shake my hand saying well done but I won, in mean he has a pair I got a straight??? But we had a lot to drink and I don’t want any problem so I turn to the dealer and the floor manager, saying I can’t shake this man’s hand unless you tell me I got no straight, cos I see a straight clearly here for me and a pair for him. Floor AND dealer says, yes you got a straight and push pot to me. The man I was heads up with already started to celebrate, after all it was the monthly final I guess, and they stop him saying sir you have not won. He get furious ask for camera on the board, and the room we get moved to all the time when final table is no camera. So they can’t restore the situation. But 4 witnesses and the floor and the dealer says the same, Anna got a straight that’s it.
The man is so so so so furious and I was called named I didn’t even thought existed, and I just keep quiet, mostly cost there are so many others fighting on my behalf and I don’t need to be the one sticking out, we all know he can’t win it this way, but yes of course it unbalanced me little. However I sober up pretty quickly and say lets finish this now so I can get home. Then the dealer make am miscalculation and don’t give me the whole pot, only what I put in and the blinds, not what he was supposed to put In after losing, but no camera, and even if she realize her mistake and try to correct it, then man are so so angry so it’s no point. He is basically throwing chips around him. I get 50 k less then I should have but I just say play play play, and floor that is totally inexperienced says ty and we play.
I play him hard, I stick in basically every hand and take the coin flip there for me to take and finally I win, then man is angry he don’t want to accept my win and again call me names I don’t think belong in the IRL poker game.
It was seriously really uncomfortable and I am not very often intimidated as I got pretty hard skin on my nose. Casinowaiter come and tell;s me all drink rest of evening is on the house but I somehow lost the interest I that, I won but it really was no fun winning when the man accuse me for cheating him on a straight when he had a pair. Doesn’t matter there where 4 witness and floor and dealer saying straight, all everyone will hear is the bloody pair, and I would never say anything, its not my thing, it’s the casinos to whom we pay rake who should sort these things.
It was highly uncomfortable, I doubt I take any discussion again after this, hardly even play there after this., I mean after all am a regular, and above that also put alot of my money in their bar. Im mightt stick to nitting and get my hrs sorted instead of this shit. It really made me uncomfortable him being allowed standing in th middle of the poker room shouthing these things and also calling me really bad names. Its casinos thing to sort not mine, i had a straight thats it he had a losy pair.
I think i rather busted as 3 th instead of winning, and thats not either how it should bee to be honest.
