Poker in the DaMn living at luske's
wassup Canada forum peeps.
Gonna say a bit about whats up. I just came 7th in the holland casino tourney of the day... kinda crappy as the difference between first and 7th is 2200 euros. Tourney was a 50 euro nl rebuy.... it was fun cuz marcel luske was on my left for awhile... i had a lot of fun stealn his blinds. Man he makes you sweat every time he acts behind you...
I am actually living at one of marcels houses in amsterdam. its a 6 story mansion 4 mins away from the casino. Also living here are Noah Boeken (exclusive) and our other friend Justin... before the tourney, myself, marcel, noah and a couple others had a great dinner at an awesome steak joint, setting the mood for a solid tourney. Sucks so bad i was card dead on final table and guy to my right was CL with an aggresive attitude. I got blinded out and lost my all in as a 2-3 dog. oh well.....
Basically all i have been doing all day so far is watching Noah play 5k hu on stars and the 150 300 pound game on interpoker.com. I am learning incredible things, and it is a trip when noah goes to the can and i get to play a few hands. :eek: ... so far since i got here he is up around 100k. Wow is all i can say..., and thanks for the clothes noah
many of the hi limit games are unbelievably soft on some sites (not pokerstars).... Many players play scared or are the rich flounderers that Mike McD talked about in rounders. I would say from watching these games that the shorthanded 15 30 games are tougher then your average 100 200 game online.
In a few days the Mizrachis are coming to town (not the grinder though) and we are all going to Vienna to play the EPT stuff. Those guys are gonna go on to Monte Carlo for the EPT championships. I doubt ill go to monte carlo... no side games and everything is 5 times more expensive then normal. Ill just return to the Dam for some grinding it out.
prolly see you all in the forum tourney in a few hours.
peace out

It sounds like you're having the time of your life HG, and I'm envious, but I'm really happy for you. Thanks for taking the time to update us on what life is like with the high rollers.
Keep us informed, we love to here your progress.

Well, good luck to you and your mansion friends. Keep us lonely Canadians occuppied with your interesting life.
watching Ex go 7-1 vs lars magne in the 5k hu three days ago was however quite sick.
Does marcel give tips to David Williams too?
also to add, you are the envy of the entire board, have fun
well first off its not justin bonomo. lol. its our dutch friend justin, another young pro.
in fact i have never even met the latter.
I knew noah from a couple years ago, before the big time. Since then he built a solid friendship with Mr. Luske from playin at the casino all the time and being a compatriot at such things as last years wsop. MArcel invited noah to live in one of his houses a while back and the rest is history.
Yea i think luske gave williams some tips last year. Noah was the bridge obviously to their meeting insofar as i know. I only met williams a couple times so i dont really know.
I can see how it looks pretty sweet out here. It really hit me when mr All Aces said he was jealous. I mean kinda ironic the guy im jealous of says he is jealous of me.
YOu must be learning so much from these guys.
I hope you dont mind passing on a few pointers to us Canadians.

Apparently with Tyson's ever hardening nipples... :eek:
Sorry to hear about it, better luck next time
All the best.
sucks i cant be going to any more ranked events untill the one in may in barcelona. i have a very awesome business now i gotta run in amsterdam for noah and marcel.
I had around 10 hours of talks with marcel yesterday about poker and poker related business. He told me some amazing quirks about gameplay that only a master like him could ever know. Its incredible. I got a poker math clinic for the last 4 weeks from the mizrachis and now i get marcels advice on anything i can think of.
i was gonna post an article when i have a few hours to write a good one with some of the things he has shared with me about poker for the forum to enjoy. I know i have said ill post things in the past that i havent.. good intentions but i end up writing so much other stuff for other people its hard to just sit and focus on writing an enjoyable read for the forum. buuurrrnn outtt...
peace out
