Goodbye, Korea
by Adanthar on 10/07/07
After a nice two mostly poker-free weeks (although I've put in a few hours in the last several days), I'm finally leaving Seoul tomorrow. It's been a lot of fun, but I'm ready to head back. More pics forthcoming (although not too many more because our camera decided to die. Tip: putting in wet, probably sandy seashells in the same bag as a digicam is dumb.) Take it from me, though, that Seoul is a great city to be 20-something in...if I spoke Korean I'd probably never leave. The nightlife is hopping, everything's cheap even with the bad dollar, and the food is surprisingly good even if you don't touch anything spicy. Mmm, Korean bakeries. On the poker side, I played 3 tourneys today and wound up making another Cake FT, although it was only 50K this week and I still only got 6'th for a couple of thousand. No video this time, but the highlights included 4 shoves with 2-5 BB stacks and getting 4 folds, and sucking out on aces AIPF for the donkament life twice. In further fitting Cake fashion, my bustout hand included me shoving 8 BB UTG and getting called by the button's J8 sooooted for 98% of his stack. lol. Regardless, consecutive Sunday tourney FT's are always nice.
Looking forward to more playing time/videos/etc. after Tuesday.

Korea sounds amazing. Hmm think I'll check into Berlitz to see if they offer a quickie course. Glad your trip was so great .10/13/07
