Hey guys I kinda want to run to my hotel room so let’s make this quick. The first hand of the day was raised and called in a bunch of spots so when I picked up black aces utg on the second hand, I decided to limp. possibly I dodged a headache situation here when the whole table limped, the flop came 543 two-tone and the small blind bet out strong, I decided to just fold and then it was raised and reraised behind me, wow, aggressive play here in Spain.

I don’t recognize anyone at my table except Joe Beevers in the 2 seat which is fine by me, as the table next to me has Steve z, Barry g, Jani Sointula, Patrik Antonius, Alex Kravchenko. The only other significant pot I played was when I raised with 2 tens, one call, and a tight player rerasied behind me, 3 saw the flop of Q64 two diamonds, I chk, chk, and the raiser bets weak, instead of committing a lot of chips here I decided to just call not sure if he has AK or QQ. The 3rd guy just calls too which feels like a draw since it was such a weak bet and a call into a big pot. The turn checked through pretty quickly, and the river was a blank and I checked. The middle guy fired out a sizable bet and the last guy folded pretty quickly, AK it is, the only thing I could really put the middle guy on that beat me was some kind of turned or rivered set, with him having peeled one on the flop with a small pair. I decided to call and he had J8 diamonds for a missed flush draw and I scooped. I’m at 19000 at the first break.
