[Closed] tournaments

Nice tripreport boschman!

I'll have to try champagne+beer+redbull someday! ♦

Oh and crazzy fireworks disaster, I can't beleive the guy whom the evidence pointed at for lighting it served 3 years and was later aquited for insuffucient evidence and given 125K euros, even though he admitted to doing it to an undercover police officer in prison.

Best of luck at the tables!

Went to Vinkovci,got drunk and won
It was like 150 people rebuy and add on tourney.

I must admit that free drinks really messed up my judgement,that's probably why I won ♦

Any thing new Boshman? Let me know if you update in the Dutch forum I'll use a translator to try to read it.

gtg, have fun all, i know i should..

it was a Strange Day..

found a cellphone, puked in the car, puked in a canalboat, puked over the pokerpittboss and over the shoes of a Very Well Known dutch player, disturbed a funeral, was pinched in my bottom, had sushi and guinness for dinner and played open air chess..

erik finished in 90th place..out against a runner fullhouse..

im of to bed , read you tomorrow..

first hand: TT in the Co..1 limper, blinds 25/25.. erik raises to 125 and limper calls..flop KQT..limper checks..erik bets and picks up the pot..

When erikbedbiet came to pick me up, i was still in the shower promising myself i would never drink again and trying to avoid the drops breaking my skull. he made some more Coffee and watched the wsopstream, cursing at the donk Moon who ... spoiler .. and then called a .. spoiler .. and so knocking out .. spoiler .. with an .. spoiler on the ..spoiler .. .
Bad Moon Rising

bad table manners: a guy is eating a hotdog at the table..not using cutlery..mustard stains on the cards..
sb versus bb, 2 english players who know each other..
sb raises to 100..bb calls.. flop 984..bet/call..turn 2..bet/raise/fold.. bb shows his cards to sb and then tosses them into the muck..show one show all..warning..

with a bucket of Coffee we left to pick up our spiritual coach Ruud. he is there to help us with our thoughts and little kickbacks..that he calls me an "capitalistic pig" and a "hopeless case of attechment to the non-important things in life".. well, that i will overlook because he always has great jokes and even better music for in the car.
some blocks before his house we had to stop for a traffic light.. around the corner came a group of boyscouts and girl..scoutesses(?) with flags and a marchingband.
since i had a hangover and since i have an impressive "Bad Morning Temper" i opend up the window and tried to, loudly, sing along with the song i thought they were playing..i could swear they were playing Erika ..some older man in the band stopped playing and then the whole band stopped playing and were looking at me and erik who joined in the sing-a-long. i guess they know the origin of the song..
the rest of the boyscouts came around the corner and then, oh horror, i noticed that it was a funeral..people with the coffin on there shoulders bounced into the band before them and grieving family members came running to the car.. the old dieselvan of eric managed to go from 0 to 80 kmph under 5 sec for the first and last time in its life.. i now bow my head in shame and utter disrespect to myself and i hope i will never ever have to see those people again..

we arrive in Amsterdam..I Amsterdam.. i have lived there for some years and always when im there i get a little homesick..that in combination with my allready upset stomage makes me puke in the canalboat..we had some time to spare and took a tour around the canals..when crossing the IJ..the waves make me so sick that i had to open a window..but that is impossible on those little boats!!! again i apologize, to the japaneese couple sitting next to me this time..

10th hand: a young internet player raised, got reraised and folded..
15th handorsomething: the same young internet player raises , got reraised and he folds again..
40th hand: the young blablabla and this time after the reraise he calls..flop is Q94..the young gun checks and the reraiser leads out half the pot..an insta shove from the young guy..call..
young gun AA..older gun 99

after entering the casino and checking the wsop in the pressroom, i tried to sell my ticket..i was in no shape to play and luckely i could sell my ticket..even with a small profit..
the whole amsterdam casino was transformed into a pokerpitt..several locations were created to host for this long week event..HC masterclassics
the roulette tables were tucked into a corner, the chineese could play there puntobanco in the restaurant and the craptables..well there are no craptables in the netherlands, but if they were..they would be in the toilets..
i looked for and found a nice soft chair and went into a coma for 2 hours..

battle of the donkeys:
the 2 english players were having great fun raising and reraising each other hands every single time..betting raising and pushing and folding..
60th hand: sb versus bb
bet/raise/reraise/push/CALL
67o(!) versus KJ..allin for 50 bb with nothing..
76o wins the hand..

i woke up because somebody pulled my arm and demanded that i would get up or go home to sleep..i opend my eyes and saw the brush (who i know well) laughing and carrying some coffee..i thanked him by vomiting (again) over his suit and over the shoes of the man who accompanied him..a Well Known Dutch player..i felt much better..at last my stomage was empty and i made the WKDplayer clear that i cant stand his singing..

there is action in the HC the whole week and at that moment the finaltable of the E1500 started..i went to have a look and saw that Joep was sitting at that table.. he is an expert player wich we met in the local games here and that silly silly silly silly silly little town in the south of my beloved homecity arnhem.
first hand FT E1500..
shortie goes Allin .. he gets rerasied and then somebody else reraises..
TT versus KK versus AA.. AA holds up and wins a big pot..

i have to do some shopping..to be continued..

sr guys, a good friend of mine died this week..
i dont feel like writing a funny story..
maybe in some days..

his name was robert, 42 years young and he loved to play games..
lol one little story..

i am really afraid of the dentist..some years ago i had to go to the dentist..my teeth and i screamed it out from pain..
i asked robert to bring me to the dentist..to hold my hand he would pick me up at 16:00h the following day..
at 15:45h that day i sneaked out via the backdoor..he was sitting in my garden..a big smirk on his face.."i know you Alex..i knew you were about to sneak out of the house..i thought by myself, lets go to alex a little early and catch him".

im gonna miss him..
