just moved up

CONFIRMED

ZENICK is not comming, WaraiOtoko is taking his spot.
Still no news from Dylan, but 5 ppl are probably just enough.

Obv if there is someone amongst you, that is super motivated and would really want to take a shot at this, just let us know n we can discuss it over skype.

Today we r moving from White Sands, Mactan to Waterfront hotel and casino.
The net here is pretty shity, so hope for better in there so we can start the grinding.

We are still in search of a house, hopefully today/tmr we ll go n see some n choose some so we can live on our own asap.. Living in hotel is bit -ev.. esp when the internet sucks ass

Also, today we should meet up w Dwight for dinner, so rly looking forw to getting some insider info abt Cebu lifestyle.

I think 16/12 and 5% 3bet is the nuts Anyway it is mostly about reads and corresponding moves post-flop.

nice quoteparty

Update:

We just switched hotels and OMG, what were we thinking. This one is for the same price as last one but it is super sicko baller. It looks a bit like Atlantis Bahamas :f_biggrin:. We also have good internet here finally! So yea when we arrived we all started grinding like sickos. I even started a bet: I don't leave the room before I make $1k. Because I havent played poker in 5 days now or see I really needed some money :f_p:. Unfortunately I made it already after one hour and the challenge wasnt so sick as expected :f_frown:.

Tomorrow we have a meeting with our agent who is gonna show us some house(s). Really looking forwad to that because it seems pretty difficult to find one.

Tonight we meet dwyt for dinner. Should be cool as well.

Some nice hands from this short session:

Both guys were big whales so I was very confident playing this hand IP.

Flop: give up

Turn: I can call because he has or a monster or air I think. When he has air he is mostly gonna check the river and give up. When he has a monster I have super sick implieds odds cause my hand is very disguised. I called and hoped for a non-spade 2 since that gives me most implied odds. Ofc I boxed :f_biggrin:. I was thinking about a size but yea I just felt he was never gonna fold everything strong so, ship it

I was pretty sure the 2 regulars had not so much, I was only concerned about the fish shoving with a fd or so. I could probably make even a smaller bet because they just cant do too much about it.

We go for some lunch now and tomas wants go flip roulette in the casino because he is quite tilted right now

hahaha i din't know the waterfront is a bit like Atlantis Bahamas.
By the way there is a casino on the 2nd floor and there's one poker room. "ALL IN" is the name. The APT/FPT was held there last week. you guys might want to check it out.

will pick you up around 7pm.

glad ur comfy in ur new hotel. and hope the weather is nice for u cebu boys. it was raining here, but i think it just stopped.

roulette, tomas? dont tilt ur return ticket away. or at least leave some left to visit me here.

Didnt play poker in like.. 3weeks.. n FTP prepared some nice hands for my first session.. so was kinda happy abt that and wanted to flip my profit on roulette just to make the day even better..

NOOOOOT..

Hotel is rly rly rly rly nice.. we prolly hit casino after dinner w Dwight if it wont turn out as sick drinking action ???

jonas u need to come here asap so i can teach u to make the monieez without the grinding ♦ but first u need to teach me how to pronounce ur name

tomas, i dont know dwyt well but knowing boys, yea some drinking (and girls) is probly involved.

dwyt, show them some filipino hospitality ha? ♦

Another interesting hand I think. I didnt 3bet because it was the first hand of the session and I feel that I just get too much FE then. Also his Fto3bet is 89%+SB had squeeze% of 9%.

On the F I like to raise because my hand is underrepped. He will probably not be able to think of a hand I am raising here, since I 3bet JJ+ a lot. I won't raise 88-TT and maybe slowplay 77. So my range is full of sh*t if i raise here. So I expect him to play back a ton.

When he has a strong hand I don't expect him to 3bet the flop tho (it wouldnt be a bad play) because most players are too abc for that. They want me to continue bluffing. I wasnt to concerned about his c/r T. On river its close because I dont see playing a really strong hand this way. But I also didnt see too much value in a shove so I decided to just check it back.

@joenaes: 1k/hr? nice brag post

guys i can see things starting to get fired up. so happy for you guys:f_biggrin:
