Not quite sure where to post but here seems ok [emoji3]
So, I'm heading to Egypt after a long awaited visa, waiting for Ramadan to close out, late May to try to run it up on the live felt, 2nd trip in East Africa.
Going to try to satellite into a $1k buyin $25k guaranteed tourney at Casino Barriere, doesn't look they have cash games running in Cairo atm but will check, then head to Sharm el sheikh which is a coastal resort area to play $50 buy-in with $50 add on tournament for $1.5k guaranteed daily tournaments & $5/5 cash games. My visa ends at July 21 BUT I've got a 30 day visa which I guess means I can't stay longer than 30 days so can't stay that long but trying to fit in everything in a month.
Never been to Egypt so this will be an experience. Poker has made it possible for me to venture out to my neighbouring countries & observe new cultures & people. Will be my 2nd trip after Kenya which was a very good learning experience but not so profitable as is the risk playing on a small bankroll. Much to my chagrin, still going with a small bankroll, which I should keep in mind if I find any big games but they say, you can't wait forever to take the perfect shot so I'm going for it!!! Just got the cardschat App on my phone, I'll try to post as much as possible regarding the inevitable ups & downs here on this thread, (hopefully it sticks lol) I'll also update my instagram which is azariyaethio_poker which I've barely used but I'm trying to make only Poker related content or azariyainaddis, my main profile.
Any tips would be appreciated by anyone who has travelled/played with a small bankroll facing maniac live players as the Egyptians are touted to be [emoji15][emoji54][emoji16] or anything in general, related to my endeavour.
If I have to set a number as a goal it would be $10,000 but I'll also be ok with getting back in the black after travel expenses. [emoji4]
