Trip report( lc)

[stokken]

Just came back from Amsterdam master classics of poker

Friday started with a 200 r satelite for the main event-first bad beat. The hotel had canselled my booking and I didnt get there in time. Be sure to get a hotel close to the casino. Nice standard, but it`s gonna set you back 4-500 for 3 nights.

Saturday 200+20 rebuy first two levels, chip start 1000t blinds 25 25 levels of 45 min field 298

This paid 36K for first prize and was a tourney with moderately skilled competition, some larger names from internet, but no big guns. Went out 25Th, was third in chips 27K with 30 to go, lost my KK in bb against Sb with 99 when he catched a set on flopp and he had pushed pf. Two hands later I lost QQ against TJ on a flopp of TTJ, nothing to do about that. But crippled afterwards and the blinds was getting high-went out on a coinflipp

Saturday sold out 820 1 rebuy 1 prize 140K field 270 +-

Didnt get to play as tickets where sold for 2K on the side

There are tourneys all week and cash games on the side

I would recomend this to all europeans with the possibility to go. Loose action on the cash games streching from 10/20 fix. lim to omaha high pl with 5K buy in. But the casino could do a better job with the lists. Main event 5K buyin tex nl hold em starts on wednsday and they ran sng 500 buy 3-4 times a day

Spoke with some of the staff at the casino, if they cleared a room they could easily fit another 200 in, but lack of dealers they said, maybe next year they will expand.

All in all great experience and every day life seems so dull now. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
