WOW! WTDSFASDF So I just was about to finishing typing it up, and I accidently
click on some random ad and my whole writeup is gone, so I'm going to type it all
again...
So, I leave school early on Tuesday April 22nd, and I leave for the Airport at 2:00.
Get there, get my luggage checked in, and get my ticket.
Apparently the rule is be at an airport 3 hours in advance, so I do, and I wait for
3 hours doing absolutely nothing. After I go through security, I forget my cell
phone in one of those security boxes which I don't find out about until I board the
plane. Bad Beat #1.
I get on my plane, and this is my view,
I land on Wednesday, April 23rd at 6:00 am local time, and the very first thing I
notice is that EVERY 16-25 YR OLD FRENCH CHICK HAS A NICE ASS, except for fat
ones of course. I guess because in Paris, or even in Europe, compared to America at
least, everyone walks everywhere. So all of the exercise has to benefit them in
some way eh?
I get to my sisters apartment in France, after a 90 minute bus ride.
Here's the view from her apartment.
I get situated, in her apartment that she shares with 3 other fine chicks who are
all 3-4 years older than me, and I'm tired as hell, so fuck trying to get with them.
So I fall asleep on her bed. My sister leaves for class for a few hours, while I
take a shower, go to a local cafe and get a sandwich. Apparently all sandwiches
look the same as this there, and notice I already took a bite. Ham and Cheese with
some lettuce and boiled egg in a French bread roll thingy. It's kinda tasty.
Afterwards, we meet up with my grandparents who were visiting Sweden, Germany, and
Paris at the same time, so we met up and toured Paris together. We saw the Notre
Dam, and here's a view from my Grandparents hotel room.
We tour the city, seeing the Eiffel Tower, we didn't go up it because apparently
it's tourist season and it's a 2 hour wait in line while avoiding gypsies so we just
hit the lawn and took a picture there.
Then we hit the Arch De Triumph, no pictures of it, but got pictures of the view on
top of it.
Of course, you can't go to Paris without seeing the Louvre.
After that, we hit up the French Rivera, Nice and Monaco.
We see the Monaco Prince's Palace, and walk the gardens, and some random photos from
that
Now apparently, some famous soccer team was visiting Monaco the same time as me and
my sister. And there was a ton of paparazzi going on screaming echo? I wanted to
know what was so special, so I just blasted a couple pictures. If I took a picture
of someone famous, please let me know who it is.
Finally, we head to the Monte Carlo Casino. Only 1 week late of the EPT and 1 week early of the Grand Prix. But, we did get to see the Super Car Show or w/e it's called.
Here's some pictures from the Monte Carlo, and then the car show. All of these cars put a Honda or Toyota to shame. Even a Lamborghini isn't that impressive here.
Now my favorite part of the story. After doing all of this, we head back to Nice to our hostel. Yay for saving money, only 10€ a night. Right down the street is the Ruhl Casino. It has poker, so I walk in with my sister and we head out to the Poker section. There were 2 tables playing, one 5€/5€ game and one 5€/10€ game. This is a shit load of money, minimum buyin of 250€ for the 5/5 game. So I just wanted to watch and see if I could read the players at all.
After watching for a while, I got anxious and got 300€ in chips, and sat down. This is how it went.
I am sitting to the left of the dealer, position 1. to my left is an old man wearing a blue sweater/vest wearing glasses and he is throwing his money away. I think he threw around about 2,000 EUR during the 1 hour I was playing. Fucking donk, would call with anything and everything preflop. I saw him go all-in with A9 on a 447 flop losing to 77 and getting pissed and bought more.
Next to him is a younger Frenchman who is about 25-30 years old, he was up about 50€ or so the entire time I was playing. He played really conservitevly. To his left, was I guess his friend who was doing about the same.
In seat 6 was an Asian who spoke french (I'm assuming Viet) who was a very cocky player who had about 1400-1600 EUR in chips in front of him. He is really loose, and I've seen him play hands like K3 UTG and 73o from MP, and getting lucky by flopping 2 pair etc...
Then there was another man sitting next to him who I'm supposing didn't care about money and was just waiting for a seat for the 5/10€ games. He was about 27 - 28 years old, and threw money around because he didn't care about it.
Finally, to the right of the dealer in seat #10 was a french soccer fan, probbaly around the age of 29 or so. He was doing pretty well, up about 1200 EUR in a few hours.
So I sit down, and the very first hand goes like this
I'm in the BB, with 300€ and I look at 69o. I put in the BB for 5€ and check it behind.
Flop comes 10 9 6 rainbow. Cool! 2 pair, first hand. Small Blind checks, I bet 25€ in a 40€ pot. 2 callers.
Turn is a Q, so board reads 10 9 6 Q. I this time bet 60€ and get called down again.
By now, I'm thinking what could he have that he's calling with which he limped in with PF. 78? J8? 66? Fuck. My first hand ever in casino, and I'm going to lose 100€. God damnit.
River gives a 2, no flush draw, lots of straight draws, so I check, and he checks behind. I show 2 pair, and he shows A9o with a pair of nines.
I WON MY FIRST HAND IN A LIVE CASINO!! for about 110€
So I now have a stack size of about 400€ and is about 158 USD. I'm happy. Shit, that's a lot of money!
I fold the next maybe 10 or so hands, which all look like 35o, 6Qo, K2s, etc... I figured, full ring, I don't know how to play this, so set mine, and any 2 cards above 10, and pp's.
So now I'm on the button, a raise to 20€, and then a re-raise to 75€. I look at KJo, and I folded (good right?)
Now, I'm in UTG+1 (left of UTG player) and I look at AKs UTG calls, so I raise to 20€. 3 callers, flop comes 2 4 J. I c-bet for 60€. 1 caller.
Turn A. TPTK! YES!!!
I bet 100€ and he folds. Oh well. Life's a bitch.
Now my stack is ~450€ from my starting stack of 300€. I like live play!
I start to be card dead for the next 30-45 minutes and the loose aggressive donkey who spews hundreds of euros for the hell of it, keeps saying. "OH! AMERICAN FOLDS AGAIN!" yeah yeah, w/e. I fold bad hands, but you keep them and lose em. way to go.
Finally, I'm looking at Q10 and I limp from UTG. Everyone else follows suit I guess because I have been folding a shit ton, and I finally play a hand, it must be good.
flop comes Q5J. SB and BB both check to me, so I bet out for 45€. 2 callers.
Turn K, I bet 75€, 1 caller. River is a 9. STRAIGHT. I bet 150€, he folds.
It's only been an hour sitting down, and I'm up 372€ in total to be holding 672€ in my stack. FUCKING SWEET. So I wait 10 more hands before I leave at 3:00 am and head back to the hostel and get some sleep. Here's my money that I collected.
I realized, that I played for about an hour, and Made 372€, it's about 372€ an hour. THATS LIKE $600/HR. HOLY FUCK! I'M GONNA BE PRO BITCHESSSS.
I leave Nice later that day after me and my sister wake up and go to Paris. He check in there, sleep, and I fly back home to Washington DC.
Here's some pics from the flight from above Newfoundland. Yeah, those are frozen waves. ITS ALMOST SUMMER WTF?!
Anyway, I get back to USA, transfer my money to USD again, and It's about $1000 in cash. I get home, sleep and then wrote this up. I hope you all enjoyed this.
Oh, and yeah, it was great.
SUGOGOSU IS LETTING YOU ALL KNOW THAT I LOVE FRANCE NOW.
Just noticed, none of the pics had me in it. Here you go. Now, Good luck at the tables, and let's have a good time!
