On the poker side of things I’ve had a bunch of big cashes, including my first profitable
WSOP trip! This blog is going to focus on my most recent trip to
WPT Nottingham as it is still somewhat fresh in my head.
WPT Nottingham Trip Report
Max silver Poker
I had 3 deep runs in the 7 events I played. I felt like there was a lot of value
in all the events and would compare them far more to events played at the
WSOP than an EPT in terms of toughness. It was a pleasure to see how much pure enjoyment and fun was had
by both professionals but especially the amateurs at the Aussie Millions.
The Trip to Australia
Australia is far away, really far away. My trip to Melbourne was far from
optimal was not without incident(s). The first leg of the trip to Dubai started off poorly as upon checkin I found my
aisle seat had turned into a middle seat next to an extremely tall man who
couldn’t help but overflow his arms and legs into my personal space.
Main Event Max Silver
I jumped straight into the main event and immediately recognized quite a few faces; Gaelle Baumann, Michael Mizrachi, Paul Vas Nunes
and Marvin Rettenmaier. The rest of the table was made up of a combination of pros and amateurs and I felt pretty comfortable.
The turn is the and the small blind bets 5500. I think this is a pretty easy call based on my pot odds, implied odds and position. Gaelle folds and Paul overcalls. At this point I am 100% sure I do not have the best hand, for sure the small blind has me beat more often than
not and Paul definitely has at least TT, more likely JJ or QQ.
Melbourne Bar Scene
The Melbourne bar scene is awesome. I met up with my friend
Bryce who’s been living in Melbourne for a few years now, we were joined
by Rupert and two of his friends, Nipun and Alex and we went on
something of a bar crawl. Bryce knew all the spots and we went from bar to
bar finding some real gems.
