I had a very succesful first day here.

I was pretty exhausted after my trip, so I went to rest and woke up at 8pm, not a good time to get up, but alright if you have no plans aside from going to the casino.

I then met up with some locals I knew from my last visit at the Aussie Millions, and they all wanted to go gambling, not PLO, but real gambling, Baccarat to be exact.

In general I´m not a big fan of any games with a house edge, but since I was really bored and there was nothing going on at the poker room, I joined them and was going to play small for a while getting to know the game, I had never played before.

Now, it was pretty funny actually and I didn´t stick to my small stakes plan in the end, to noones surprise. I ended up making a deal with Mark Vos to make a big bet and double it up up to 3 times in case we won it.

To cut a long story short, we did win it, much to the entertainment of fellow players and railbirds. After all, I had just bet 40k on a single game and won it.

I ended up winning just over 70k, all that without having any money with me in the first place. Thanks for the 10k loan!

Now, I don´t want to recomment this game to anyone, the house has an edge and you are going to lose in the long run.

I know it is stories like this that make people try certain house games but I hope all my readers are mature enough to realize that this is not a smart way to bet their money.

While many people believe me to be just some lucky gambler over a talented player, rest assured I do not gamble like this very often, and I realize that I give up a certain amount of money with every spin at the roulette table.

Sometimes I just feel like it and it can be quite entertaining, but I would never bet a large part of my bankroll playing any game I didn´t see an edge in for me.

General advise: DON`T DO IT!

Advise Nr.2: BE SMART WHILE DOING IT!

Anyways, afterwards I had breakfast (for me, dinner for them) with some friends and played a little poker.

We got a 3 handed 100-100 PLO game going, and finished it with a little 400-800 HU limit holdem after the 3rd guy left. I was both playing and running very well which resulted in a 43k win.

Certainly not a bad first day here in beautiful Melbourne, on the negative side I can only mention my fucked up sleeping schedule now to go with a still cloudy sky.

thanks for reading-

Niki
