My plans to play a €100 tourney in Amsterdam failed. I arrived at the New Holland Casino at 7pm and the game kicked off at 8pm but all the 100 seats had been sold in advance. I never considered this might happen as it doesn't happen to regular casino games in the UK. It also turned out to be a €100+10 single rebuy. I only had one free night amongst the four I was in Amsterdam so I didn't get the chance to check out games in other parts of the city. There were cash tables in another room, but the cheapest was €2/€4 NLHE, so I gave it a miss. Also, the players I saw walking around looked like they knew how to play.
Playing in Amsterdam was central to my New Year's poker resolution to play poker in three different countries this year. I will be going to Tanzania in a few weeks with a poker player but I dont know if a HU match will be sufficient for me to count that country. Can I also include Scotland later in the year as they are hosting both a UKIPT and (I hope) a CBMPT and chances are I'll play one of them.
So now no poker is planned until Bolton for the APAT team champs this weekend. Well, I might be at the local pub tonight for the £3 buy-in two-30-player-games-in-an-evening-crapshootalolament and I'm playing a live £20 STT tomorrow.
