Italia texas holdem
first of all, im new to italy... living here for 3 months... planing to stay as well.
I come from Serbia, where texas holdem is on uprising road, but trough halflegal casinos, fakechess clubs etc, for what, btw i did not care at all:icon_sant coz government in Serbia can not see the diference between chess and th, and can not see the need of a law in this area...
Came to Trieste, Italy. Looking for job and all. (u just can not find a job in Italy if u dont know the language - english is not enough. if any italian disagreez contact me here to give me a job!!!) Here I am with my wife (she playz az well) alone in rented place, searching www for job, cheaper place to live in, and place to play some sit'n'goz for real. Found royalrounders.com, TH club from Trieste, Italy. First I joined on line, and than i decided to join for real as well, coz they have tournaments every saturday 30euro buyin freezout, or 60euroz buyin freezout).
I went to the place, and there were these 2 nice boyz welcoming me to the club: 15 euroz for "tessera" (dont know the word on english - joincard or...) and 30 buyin for that night.
Now, last game i was playing for real was 1.000 dinars buy in (little more than 10euroz - 12!) rebuy first hour and there were like 40 players dont know how much rebuyz, i played for like 4 hours, and was 4th wining smthng like a buyin+1 rebuy+2 cup of tea (i was filling little ill) + 300 dinara (2 euroz). So i was 2 euroz in + after 4 hours of playing in this halflegal casino in basement with some boyz that i was not shore were older than or 18!
TRIESTE: I said: "OK" lets give it a try. I was little early, joining in and all, so people start coming (offcours all italians) and we talked on some "Tarzan english" about me being from Serbia, and being in Italia... and friendly stuff. 30 people (900 euroz) and we started: blinds are jumpin every 15 min in 1st hour, after every 20 mins, so its a slow game (for me at least after serbian 10 mins)... Slowly things were worming up, 1 guy raised me like in the 3rd hand, me with JJ, and flop smaller, so i reraised a little and he called, turn was not mettered, so he raised again (living him with 1/4 of chips) and I rerised AIN and he folded after a halfminute thinking. I was going pretty well from begining.
After 2,5 hours there were 8 of us playing on FT, and after 5 minz there were 6 of us.
This guy pushed all in before flop and me BB with 99, when i asked on poor italian "how many places r paid?" They all said "5!!" I said "I dont want to be 6th than" folding cards faces up.
Next hand Im SB with AK diamonds and other guy is all in... This time I called pushing him of the table with his stupid 5 and 9 suited.
Next hand I have AK clubs!!! There r now 5 of us (ITM) and the same guy from 2 hands ago is going all in, I call, rest folded, he has 55 and the highest card on table was Q! "NH, GG" and all of that gentelman stuff, asking boyz how much have i won, and they say 60 euroz. I said: "I am now ready to take the money" thinking: buyin + tessera + 15 euroz = NICE1.
Bought BIG pizza for me and my wife, telling her the same words i told u here today....
Not a big story but a big pizza!:icon_sant
