Time Out in Monte Carlo

As luck would have it I had to go to Monte Carlo with work (tough life I know). Sadly however there doesn't seem to be any live poker available anywhere - all the casinos are Blackjack, Roulette and other such "traditional" games. I guess they only allow us poker low-life in when it's the Monte Carlo Millions, so maybe I'll try to qualify for that next year.

Still, on the plus side there's plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants and internet access from the hotel. Not sure playing on-line poker at 2am after a night out is the best way to protect the bankroll, but not too much damage done so looks like I got away with it!

Not too much to report poker-wise, a bit of PLO (trying to get the hang of it before going to Vegas in July) and a couple of tournaments. Best one was a $20 sit and go where I got AK on the first hand in the BB. One min raise and 4 limpers so I massively overbet the pot, they all folded and, as planned, the chat started "another drunk muppet tonight" etc. Perfect set up for getting paid off later. Little did I know it would be quite so soon as the next hand I got AA in the small blind. The button made a small raise and I went all-in which he called with, get this, J9 suited. I think that put the rest of the table on tilt and I ended up winning it in near record time.

Anyway, DreamTeam continues tomorrow night and I need a good result...
