Poker Blitzkrieg
This is a live conversation with my friend and poker guru the Russian on poker, surfing, and travelling the south European Atlantic coast. Updated continually …
sagesex:
So why is this post called poker blitzkrieg?
the Russian:
This is mainly about playing poker efficiently while moving fast in a foreign country. This includes also physical exercise and challenge, wellness activities and some pieces of the craft of social art.
Why don’t you spend some words on describing the country that you’re talking about?
We are talking about France. The smaller region south of Biarritz – and Biarritz itself. We made some money there. And there are a lot of nice shiny spots to be …
So we went there in a van …
Yes, it was an incarnation of a blue lightning. Manufactured by Volkswagen in the last decade. Fast and fuel efficient. It carried the whole equipment. We cooked and slept inside. So, this kind of car and trip.
By the way, these vans are pretty slim for two grown men to sleep in there. It took us some weeks to find this secret of relaxed and roomy sleep: Like the Taoists going with the flow of nature, you make use of the V-form of the (male) body. Simply lie in opposite directions, one guy’s feet next to the other’s head. It’s so much more comfortable this way.
Nice, that you mention the coziness of our sleeping accommodation. But lets get back to the poker blitzkrieg thing: On our second day in that region, after a day of sun, beach, surfing, push-ups, cooking and talking to exquisite and random women we decided to make some money at the Casino of Biarritz. A very shiny place (Photos here), especially when you are not so rich in financial terms and you want to make some money, using the combination of intelligence, skill, decisiveness and finally … luck.
We bought in for 200,- € – at a table with blinds of 5/5. I played, sagesex supported me morally by giving useful vibes from the sideline. I felt nervous (It was the 8th time I was playing live in a casino), but confident. What about you?
I really liked the sheer madness about the whole idea: here we were with not enough money to even afford our trip, going into a casino gambling on our non-existent bankroll. For me, everything was new and shiny, being totally virgin to casino poker (and having really just begun to learn the rules in earnest). But from the moment you sat down at the table, I was deeply impressed by the quiet intensity you exuded. I myself was struggling with the idea of seducing elderly women for money, and after finding that I could not do it, I just hung about at the sidelines, while from time to time tending to the small group of girls we had approached before with little enthusiasm.
