Taiwan Poker Series Event 1


Had a great week with my girlfriend as she was back for a week to visit me, took her shopping numerous times, we also ate Italian, Swedish, Mexican, Japanese...but the day the 1st event of the TPS was starting was the day she was leaving so that was a bit of a bummer, so I went to the game and set my mind up on poker and strictly poker.

It was a 70$ rebuy NLHE tourney and after the first hour, I was sitting on a comfortable stack but still made the addon nevertheless.

I won't fo too much into details but it took the field about 7 hours to slim down to the bubble where everyone started tighting up and I turned up the aggression, flipped well a couple of times and we were down to HU with about 1500$ for first and 860$ for second, it only took 1 hand for me to get it all in and it was on the first hand, had top pair and check raised all in, he made the call with mid pair and rivered two pairs, I doubled a couple of hands later on to jam QJs into his JJ preflop, I managed to hit a Q on the flop and while everyone including me thought it was over (for the second time), he managed to hit the last Jack in the deck to win it all, I was disgusted at first but had to let go off the bad vibes, just got unlucky and you have to be ready to accept that if you want to be a good poker player.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning to Macau, for the Macau Poker Cup and I'm very excited to meet my friends, make some new ones and play some **** cards, poker gods, please let me run good, thank you! :) I'll be playing Event 1 through 3 and hitting the cash games when I have time, if I do well then I might stay longer to play the main event, may the poker god shine on you and I'll try to update you on how things goes straight from the capital of gambling in Asia, peace!
