8th September 2010
Another long time since my last post. I was in Manila playing poker. It was fun but too bad I didn't much of a profit. I got bad beat by really stupid fishes but I feel good that I played well. I lost 2 big pots that I was 70-80% favorite when I went all in.
First has was against a really rich guy, who plays like USD 10,000 per hand on Bacarrat. He comes to the poker table to have fun and socialise. Flop was 4s 7d 8s. He pushed all in with Q8 off. I had 7s 5s (straight flush draw with a pair) I was 70+% favourite. But I missed all my 17 outs.
Then the other time I played against a really fishy player who would go all in with 89 suited preflop etc. This time flop was 5 6 7 one heart. I had 55 for the bottom set. He had 3h7h for the top pair and gut shot. But the lucker hit runner runner hearts for the flush. I was 80% favourite. Damn.
But otherwise I had fun. The food was great, the massage (no hanky panky) was super cheap and nice. It is still a very unsafe place and I felt that some one tried to kidnap me at one point. I do not recommend traveling alone there especially if you are female.
