Nice pics. How old is that Grand Lisboa picture from Macau? I was there some months back and it looks lots more balla now from outside
Ur baller pictures makes me jealous anyway because I only got crappy standard room

[Melvin]

We were there like what 1 year ago or something? It was still a bit under construction at the time so thats propably why it looks different now.
About the balla room, we actually started out with just a standard room also. Then some magic happened and we got free room upgrade. But thats a whole another story and propably not even suitable for minors...

Last time when I was in bcn I lost 200e to a guy in the "three cups one ball" game on Rambla, so this time i have a lot to prove

Is this "three cups one ball" some sort of twisted version from "two girls one cup"?

I knew this question would pop up sooner or later

I started playing PLO again this week after a loong break from all cashgames but I seem to be doing pretty good. I've been playing 1/2 CAP 6max tables and today I'm up around $600 even tho I got stacked once by Joe Beevers , but more importantly im up 2 beers tonight against Melvin in table football and pool \o/
Omaha is a game of huge swings so I'll try not to get too excited if I run good for a week or two.

I purchased Omaha Manager today..... can't seem to get it working. I've installed PostgreSQL, I've set the HH folders, but no hands show up

I'm working on a small omaha article for beginners and guys who are making a transition from hold'em to PLO. I'll try have it ready and posted in the Articles section before the EMOP Barcelona trip next monday.

I have played kinda much with Joe Beevers, he is definitely one of the best CAP omaha players I have seen. He usually plays 2/4$ to 5/10$ CAP games. Not many times when I have seen him playing 1/2$ CAP. And I think he likes those CAP-tables because I hardly never see him playing normal tables.

I googled about him and he has over 2.4M$ cash prizes from tourmanets. Not bad, not bad at all.

John Beaver, lol epic name.

Sweeet. I was 2nd in Ongames 100k guarantee $100 1rebuy 1addon tournament.
$20,235
I'm still pissed off for losing heads up, the chips were almost even when hu started (~1,7M vs 2,1M).

Now I'm gonna get some sleep and hope Alieni wakes me up in ~4 hours so I wont miss my flight to Barcelona.
We set up a EMOP Barcelona coverage page with Melvin where u can see photos and reports from the event and we'll be also tweeting about our tournament progress -> EMOP Barcelona coverage

Nice one, gongrats for those two tourneys and gl for EMOP. Btw when I'll come to Cyprus we have to play some pool and table football for beers, I think I'm gonna drink whole night for free!

Last night I headed to the casino and sat down at a 2/5 NL table. It was fishy enough to stay through the night and finished €470 up. There were plenty of donks, mainly from Israel and locals (spanish). Guys calling OP with 60% of their stack pf and then check-folding to a 752 flop . The dealers are professional but still very relaxed, that and the international player pool made the table chats very entertaining

I'm off to play Day 1 now with Melvin and Naltia. gl
