Hi all. I know its been a while since Ive updated and I'm sorry for that. Ive been very busy over the last month, with lots of online and live play. Things will continue to be quite hectic, as I will be living in Nice, France getting settled in, while making the transition to playing full time.
As for my trip, I left Michigan on Tuesday the 3rd and made the drive with Alex and his friend Stephano to New York City. I didnt really get to enjoy New York all that much, since I was stuck in my hotel room for the majority of the time. However, the parts of the city I did manage to visit, I really enjoyed.
Anyways, the night of the 3rd, we all ate at a Fuji, a great Sushi restaurant in the city. After dinner, we walked around the city for a while and I managed to see several different parts of the city. My favorite area that we toured was probably the West Village, where NYU is located.
The day of the fourth, I didn't really do a whole lot. During the day, I just watched a bunch of movies, while sweating some of the bigger games online. During the evening, I attempted to meet up with my friend George, but he was busy being a flake, so we didn't get to meet up.
I woke up pretty early on the 5th and helped Alex return the car that he had rented. Then Me, Alex, his wife Anna, and son Daniel, headed to the airport to check in our luggage and bags. We waited in the airport for a while, ate some overpriced airport food, and then finally got on the plane at around 530pm. The 8 hour flight went far smoother than expected. I slept like a baby for the entire flight and when I woke up, we were literally 15 minutes from our destination.
Anyways, the city of Nice, looked pretty amazing from the plane and even better in person. The city is absolutely beautiful. The downtown area is located right along the beach and there are these massive hills, along the coast that look absolutely amazing at night. The color of the water here is also pretty crazy and the weather isn't bad either :)
So yeah, last night, I played for about 6 hours and booked a small loss of 225 Euros. I made a few mistakes but for the most part was happy with my play. The game was great and I definitely feel like I got a good feel for the players/game flow by the end of the night. Ill be making a few small adjustments to my play tonight, including playing a tighter range in EP (TT+, AKs), limping all pocket pairs in early/middle position and playing extremely tight push/fold on my first buyin, since I will be shortstacked compared to the rest of the table.
Other than that, I plan on enjoying the city some more and taking a bunch of pictures that I hope to post soon. Wish me luck in the games tonight
