Vienna update

So whoever designed Terminal 5 at Heathrow (Norman Foster?) needs an enormous kick in the balls.

It's one of those stupid fucking airports where all the seats have metal armrests which don't move, so you can't lie down and sleep on them. Bastard. Also, despite having seemingly loads of space to play with, they somehow needed to have some of the gates separated by so far you need a little tube journey to get to them. Retarded.

Anyway, I make it to Vienna half an hour late and then get delayed at the hire car desk because my travel people have given me the wrong voucher. It says Avis so I go to the Avis desk. Nope. I ring travel people. Sorry it should be Europcar. Go to Europcar. No. Ring travel people again. No answer. Work it out myself and go to Hertz desk. Correct reservation number but he won't accept voucher cos it's got Avis written on it. Fucker. Travel people ring back and fax new voucher.

Eventually make it to hotel, sleep for couple of hours, do some work and then head to card club.

Walk in and immediately get seat at 1/2 NL game. Doesn't look good at first with lots ot shortstackers, but immediately see how bad play is. Get QQ, KK and AA in short session and win with all three, but lose pots with A9 v AQ and AK v K9 to end up just 88 euro.

AA hand was funny. I'm in SB, couple of limpers and button makes it 11. I make it 30 and get 3 callers. Hmmm. Flop is K J 3 with two spades, I shove for 91 (hadn't had chance to reload after A9 hand), 2 folds and donkey tanks.

Some info on this guy: Worst player ever. He chased a gutshot with J8 on a Q954 board and spiked it on the river to beat a set of 9s. He limp calls anything, minraises when he hits something, etc etc.

Eventually he calls and flips up K 2o, no spades. LOL. Thanks. I left shortly afterwards but not before seeing A10o jam over the top of an UTG raise (he had 10s).

Looking forward to going back tonight.

the raise to 11 at 1/2 is sweeping the world.
