Hey there, degenerates!
Yesterday I came back from Sosnowiec from a Polish Poker Tour (PPT) event. It was hell of a weekend, I have to admit. The climate was just stunning, the place where the whole thing was held was very nice, and the prizes there were moderate.
Friday
I was going to play a tournament which was supposed to start at 6PM. I had arrived at Falcon billiards club (where the event took place) at 7:40PM (a bit late  ) and I started playing as soon as I appeared there. I was pretty card dead and busted out 36th out of 110 players (AQ vs AA pre-flop). There was one crucial hand where I could've doubled up, but I folded queens pre-flop vs a huge nit who showed, surprisingly, only TT.
Off to the cash games we go. The game was extremely loose and I lost some money, no hands to mention. The guy that I was sleeping with at the hotel lost his biggest pot ever in a $2/$2 cash game this day, because he had misjudged the size of the pot on the turn (he haven't noticed one side pot), hadn't bet properly and, all in all, he lost an over $5000 pot to a runner-runner flush (he hit a set on the turn). Pretty sad.
Saturday
Saturday was the Main Event day. I didn't play it so I played some $0.4/$0.8 Dealer's Choice game (PLO, Hold'em 1 or 2 flops, Crazy Pineapple 1 or 2 flops). Lost 200BB there, including two big pots in Crazy Pineapple 2 flops, where once I had A9dd on flops: J92, 76d4d (lost both to AJ, I haven't improved on either boards) and the second time I had KT on flops: KTQ, KJ2 (lost both to J4(!), guy rivered me with an ace on the first flop and spiked a 4 on the turn on the 2nd).
Sunday
I didn't feel like playing any poker on Sunday, so I just watched the final table of the Main Event and returned home in the evening. I was in my home town at 11:30PM.
Conclusion
I left some money in Sosnowiec, but I don't regret a single penny. I met a bunch of great people and I look forward to visiting the next PPT event in Krakow in late January. I'm definitely going to play the Main Event, because I prefer playing live tourneys to live cash games.
