Malta Poker Dream a world of Espresso, Sambucca and some poledancing!

THEY are here... again, more than ever, they are here, there and everywhere!

Loud, well dressed, nice smelling, cute and very flirty, yea yea of course am talking about the Italians. It’s the Malta poker dream coming up, a 5 days long tournament and its for sure going to be a massive loud drama, they are very loud :)

In Sweden we have a saying, something like your life is not completed until you have had your Italian, well I still haven’t got mine so am very excited and hopeful!  They are adorable cute with their flat little handbag hanging across the chest while worldly zipping their Espresso and the sidekick Sambucca..

But this is not just a ordinary tournament with standard suckouts and crazy moves. During the tour they are making a movie, not a documentary but a real cinema movie and the plot is too funny to not tell

Two Sicilian brothers,  one hot bad bad boy one cute autistic genius, fall in love with same girl, her name is Anna, and I BTW take this as a CLEAR sign that my Italian is on his way! Anna is however a bit naughty, works in a bar (always wanted to do that) and at night she is a pole dancer (always liked that too ) And BTW seems like the perfect girl for one of my robber from cardamoma town, Kasper, you listening!!!???

As it happens, this chick knows many dubious people in the underworld of Milan and hook the brothers up with some douchebags to help them be propoker player in order to save their sick little sister that needs expensive care. The brothers fall apart over the love of Anna, of course, needless to say, pretty obvious they would, an Anna is an Anna. They both however travel to Malta to play the massive Malta poker dream, the dream of 1 million Euro and to save their sister.  Of course they end up Heads up so must be a win win!

-Two opposite characters ... The same blood ... Only one goal ... Victory! 
( quote from the website, i seriously cant make that up)

I am pretty sure we see a few familiar faces on this final table as they been using locals as well in this move. All day yesterday and today they been filming and also will film during the event itself, so we all get our chance of 15 minutes of fame, yay!

Hello Kitty with her robbers from cardamom town strike again

This weekend it was time for a tournament in one of the smaller Casinos here in Malta that also are quite new to poker, they have smaller tours and many new beginners playing, but i like the place, the atmosphere is nice and ppl friendly, Oracle casino is in Bugibba, a smaller sea town that are loaded with ppl in summertime and a quiet in winter. The tour went well, after 7 hrs play we did a deal and played for some smaller extra money for the winner,  It was the Casinos first bigger buy in tour. 

However whenever one think one seen it all one just get reminded that there are just as many different styles as there are ppl, I think I never seen so many odd play and weird explanations but hey hoe, am not there to teach anyone so keep it up champs ! However colluding s not something I ever will tolerate,  agreeing to check it all the way preflop just because its against someone you know and in end flip over a hand that gave you top pair on flop, 2 pair on turn and full house on river…. Ghaaa.. back in the days in Texas you been shoot for that one! Strangest thing was dealer heard them say let’s check it all the way and didn’t react, I was busy with a waitress so didn’t reacted until card where flipped over and I then said wooooot??

They then kindly explained as the most natural thing in the world that they agreed preflop to check it all way and I was also told I should have protested. dohh.. What a completely odd thing to say! Am being nice now, I wanted to write retarded fuck shit moron thing to say, but I didn’t say that, you dint read that :) 

 

Its not my thing as a player at a table to check every hand, every pot, every change or every word spoken, its really tiring that Casinos in Malta seem to think it is.  The dealer said, he thought it was ok since no one protested.. bhaaa!  And floor didn’t have the guts to say anything just stood there.

Ah well,  all good that ends good, took my 3 th live tour win in 7 days, not big tours but still a win is a win and as always, spades beats all and the 9 is awesome! Afterwards i stopped by a friends bar and had a few drinks, Hello Kitty with her robbers from cardamom town where indeed rocking, but starting to catch up with drinks around 03 is sooo stupid really : )

''Langt, langt borte i det fjerne ligger Kardemomme - Utenfor byen bor de tre røverne Kasper, Jesper og Jonatan som bare vil gjøre det de vil og ikke bryr seg om å være grei og snill. De tre røverne er spesielt glad i Bakerens saftige bakervarer og Pølsemakerens smakfulle pølser. Kasper, Jesper og Jonatan er ikke særlig glad i å vaske eller å lage mat, så en dag bestemmer de seg for å røve noe helt spesielt… ... ''

  

Cheers!

Spanish Deepstack @ Venezia Casino, Malta

Last weekend it was time for the first really deep stack on the island, was hoping for lot more players but it got 35 runners and was good practicing, especially since BetPro’s Malta Poker Dream coming up next week. Fingers crossed i be seated in that one to enjoy 4 days of close up with the male drama Queens,with their cute little flat hand bags, Sambucca and Espresso!

Ended day 1 at the Spanish deepstack with a decent stack and day 2 run smoothly and could wrap it up and call me the winner in good time to get a big amount of drinks as well Saturday night : ) ghaaaaa… too old for that! But hey hoe wobbling home 08 in the morning in bright sunshine one are ever so grateful for coming from a poker tour earlier as sunglasses always are in the bag. Tess was happy seeing me.. poor little furry one.. we went to a park and woke up all the outdoor sleeping ppl, not sure they appreciated that as much as Tess thought it was fun- mum mum come and see its ppl sleeping here!

Thumps up to Christine who run a very good floor and super well organized tour. Its nice at Venezia, no slots machine making awful noise in the background.  Lot of poker in Malta these days and it’s a good place to live if one likes live poker.

Play well and remmeber spades beat everything, its really not harder then that :)
