GL @ Tables
I'am at Gold Coast in Australia i found the only casnio here lol so i had to stop in and have a game
so games where $2/$4 or $2.50/$5 tho.. no seats at $2/$5 game so i took at seat at the $2/$4
where max buy-in is $300!!! 75BB and minn i think was $100 so it was nothing like macua lol.
and i went to play me mp3 and poker manager come str8 over said i have to put that away or leave the game
i ask what did i do? he said ''oh no mp3 or phones'' at tables i cant beleive it lol 1st time i've been
in casnio where no mp3 players allowed. anyhow i sat with my $300 and game was ok bit soft when i get
pocket 2's on SB i limp flop 2 7 10 so i fire $20 about 6 way lol. 1 guy who has been betting alot
1 of the only good players at table pushed it up to $80 ''he said ur 1st bet'' i '' lol'' said
lets gamble i move all-in he calls shows 7/2hearts i had him covered think was about $100 more turn 10 i had full house think pot just under $400 its 5% they take in Jupiters casnio or $15max (rake)
then as game was getting good i heard someone say ''last round guys'' so i asked guy next to me
whats he taking about? he said ''oh poker room close at 2am'' i lmao wow this casnio like something
from 20year ago lol.so after my session i cashed up and was up $264 for my few hours. maybe go back
in few days before i leave.
I'am writing last part of my trip in macua tho.. At the moment i'am in Australia i was at Aussie Millions and now i've
ended up staying here i'am at Gold Coast now. anyhow back to macua i was havin a few days of no sleep as i was due to fly back
to Bangkok so i went to Starworld where i played $10/$25 (deep) tho.. i buy in for $2,500 i was doing ok i hit a big hand i'll
tell u about and u wont beleive it. lol i had AKos i open $200 from middle i get 3 callers flop 3 (clubs) i forget cards to be honest
anyhow guy leads out $400 i have Ace (clubs) so i call guy behind me calls other guy folds turn very nice :) 1 more (club)
so guy leads out like $700 i raise to $1500 guy behing me calls guy who lead out folds river blank i know i have it know
and i want paid alittle i cant see him calling think maybe 2 pair he hoping board pairs so i fire $1,800 he calls i cant beleive it lol\
chinese guy shows 8/3os for 2 pair LOL. then after few hours i hit the hand i'll never forget and the only time
its happened to me live and it was 1 of the biggest pots i've played i was deep now around $11,000 (in for $2,500)
so i was on cut off with 9/9 guy utg opens for $150 i call as do like 4 others flop 9 8 2 (ALL HEARTS) guy leads out
$400 i want see turn or see if he can fire again as i have postion anyhow its 3 way so iam sure someone must have flush
then turn comes BOOM 8 i'am thinking ''oh yes baby'' this guy has be covered so he fires again $1,200 bit of roll play
lol i just call river blank so now i have full house 9's over 8's he fires again $2,800 i raise to $5,600
to see if he calls and he looked at me and said ''oh what u have'' so i think he has ace flush he says the words
u want hear ''ALL-IN'' i snap call over $23,000 in pot when crads are shown i say full house he say ohhh shows me
QUADS 8's. Oh i felt sick i had to re-buy grind back about $2,000 then left back to Hong Kong to ctach my flight to
Bangkok. took me like 3 weeks to write this and it hurts LOL.
anyhow guys i'll post about games in Melboure maybe tomorrow and games in Jupiters casnio in Gold Coast.
update from todays action at Macua i went to play this afternon at Grand Lisboa if u didnt read my last report
this is best place to get action so early in afternoon. anyhow i sat after waiting about 30mins for a seat at $10/$25
as always i dont like to buy-in deep $5,000 buy-in at Lisboa all casnios are differnt think its $3,000 at the wynn
StarWorld is $4,000 The Venetian is $5,000 anyhow back to the game so i sit thre about 2hours win a few lost a few. nothing
really to post seem like i was card dead or if i picked a margial hand in late postion someone would open the get re-riased
all i was thinking was is this going to go like yesterday afternoon. i stopped losing only $350 and deicded to go play at
StarWorld where again things started to look up picking up QQ in 1st 2 rounds of betting as i'am Writing now iam asking
myself was there any big pots or key hands which i could post for u guys and i cant think of any.. was a good game
and a easy grind if i'am to be honest. most guys i'd played before over past week and the night before anyhow
there was a $5,000 MTT starting at 8pm 20players max u need like so many points on ur members card to play.
like a loyalty program so i deicded to play it 5 in the money so stopped my cash game just before the start of MTT
to find i was up $2,200 so happy with that and on to the MTT.
1st = $2,5002nd = $1,0003rd = $7004th = $5005th = $300
so as it went on i was going well when my biggest hand of the MTT came i was almost tie 1st in chips when
i open for 700 blinds 100/200 guy moves all-in hes very good 1 of best asians ive played he was also in my cash
game and had also stopped to play this. we have about 6,500 each so i call thinking hes making a move as i had played
with him all day if he relly had a big pair h'ds just have raised me. sure enough he was he had KJ vs my AK which
held up both us missing :) anyhow i got to the money final 5 then i knocked 5th out then 4th putting me chippy with
14k 2nd was on 13k blinds on 400/800 3rd on about 6k not sure tho.. so blinds about to go up to 500/1k when guy on my
right with 13k asked for deal we stopped clock got poker manager over and agreed that as we where almost even we would
take $1,500 each and women in 3rd would take the other $1,200 i was thinking bit much for her but if u think about
and look at blinds and stacks if i double her then i could end up with just the $700 so we all agreed and it was
over i was up $3,700 now for the day and really needed to eat as i havent eat'in all day. so off to bed now.
have a event at Grand Lisboa tomorrow afternoon so no late sesson tonight lol.

HI Guys
alittle update fro Macua tough trying to start a PLO game going here if thats reason ur thinking of coming out
ive played most casnio's now out here and things are going well wynn games are about toughest to crack and thats
were most eruopean players go tho.. isnt that many here and iam not here for them here to play the rich chinese. lol
and there is so many of them. last night after dinner i played again at the The Venetian $10/$25 where i NEVER WON 1 POT in the 3hours
i sat there i started off bad here i had 10/9 suited i open $125 from button 2 calls flop Q high i had gut shot str8
and back door flush my 3 barrel bluff didnt work lol which set back about $1,200 something like that then only other hand
was KK i opened $150 i guess some of you are thinking oh why so much. asia keep that in mind guys standard here again 2 calls
flop J J 9 (2 hearts) i lead out for $300 guy re-riase me $1,000 other guy folds now he has about $2,500 behind him i'am just re-buy to $5,000
so i cant call his raise i feel i have to push here which will cost me $3,200 more does he have the draw? J? (str8 or flush) not god odds.
i think u can correct me please if iam wrong here but hes fav with the draw or almost even money anyhow. and IF he has the J.
then i'am in big trouble so i folded. good or bad move? please let me know i need all the help i can get. :)
as i sat there card dead lost pot after pot i moved on called it a bad day at office. and my this time its about 8pm.
so i went to StarWorld and there was 1 seat left at $10/$25 there so things started off better seen a few face cards lol
won a few pots things looking better i never dropped below my buy-in since i started. i bought in for $2,500.
in StarWorld for some reason its $4,000 max buy-in on the $10/$25 tables. so thing's where going better here when after
hmm 2hours or so i get the HAND!! the 1 i have waited all night for AA in the cut off i open for $125 3!! other callers
flop wait for it lol A 9 9 (2 Diamounds) so i check like everyone else and of course button guy fires out $200
now iam thinking YES. lol so i sit like oh shall i call here lol bit of my acting skills on display now lol.
so i call and 1 other caller turn is 4 so again button fires out $400 sure he had fush draw so i call try let him catch up
and other guy folds btw. so where HU going into river then bang 3 of Diamounds i think oh good so now i thinking how much?
no way iam checking this river over so i lead out with a $725 alitttle small but i know there is alot in pot i want value
iam stuck in total for the nigt about $2,000 now. and i hope he had K flush he's deep and has me covered. he think's..
what fells like forever as u poker players know lol. and he calls and shows KK OH!! not even the 9! wowow iam thinking
glad i didnt bet more and get greedy. so after that pot iam up to about $5,000 so even now for the night and only about 10pm.
so as always win and lost a few was at $4,000 for while. Then there is about 4 limips and the guy on my left in BB is short stack and has limped
or checked almost everyhand for past 4hours. so i call the $15 more from SB with K3os flop comes K 3 2 (2spades)
so i lead out for $125 (2 spades) happy to take it now as so many in the pot. anyhow i get 2 callers then turn BOOM 3!
so i decide to lead out from here try a weak bet hope someone see's it so i fire just $200 i get 2 calls then river come's J (blank)
so i lead out again for this time $725 as there is about $1,100 in pot and i get called and guy shows A3..
so i tok home a nice $2,550 pot so now i'am up for the 1st time in 8hours of play lol. as i played through till about 3am
i finished up about $350. not a great night but happy to finished in + as i was stcuk $2,400to start :)..
anyhow off to start todays session at Grand Lisboa best place to get action early afternoon. update ths session tomorrow :)
