POKER–YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE THIS GAME!

This is a poker blog, so I will start to talk about the poker part of this great weekend even if that wasn’t the best part for me!

PLAYING LIVE!!!

This weekend I went to Figueira da Foz where the BPPT (Betfair Portuguese Poker Tour) was taking place - not to play in the main event (I tried the steps but I didn’t get the qualification) but to play in the Sit & Go.

I was really excited! My first time playing Live!

My friends from Futpoker were there to play in the main event – Alvim, Hooligato, Nelbet, Clarawin, Yuran and Angelonly (like me just for playing S&G) took me to the registration place and we all got a table together!

I was feeling cool, not nervous and excited.

Beautiful table, great players, chips “clapping” in my hand… heaven!
Even I didn’t have a good hand I made a “call”! Felt so good!
I was so focused in absorbing all, learning the most that I could that I forgot to “play”
I went 7th but I didn’t care … I tried to stay in the table eventhough I had lost but they didn’t let me! Damn ... I was loving the game!

After a great night of dinking with my friend Yuran I was ready for a second round.
Alvim and me went for a table and started to play. A tough table full of aggressive Finland players and one Spanish player. Even if I was playing better the hands didn’t help me and I was 5th.

When I was making the registration for the 3rd Sit & Go I turned to my friend and said “I am going to play my game… like I was home!”

I played well… the hands came…

It was a really good poker game, all players doing their best, fighting hard…
Suddenly I was in the Heads-Up and Won!
I was shocked … I couldn’t believe it … for a few seconds I was sat there asking my self “did I win?”

Shacked my opponent hand and jumped with joy!!!



MY FUTPOKER FRIENDS!

The main reason for going to Figueira was to meet and support my friends!
It was wonderful to meet them and see that even though we are all very different (ages, professions, interests, places and races) the friendship, respect and the supporting of each other was constant and beautiful to see.

They played very well in the main event! They all got through to the second day!
I am proud of them!
Good Game my friends!
Thank you for a great weekend!
