Taxis, the yellow and black bastards

Anyways I've been busy the last 3-4 weeks traveling around Europe with different people I meet at my previous locations. Been a great experience so far on my own having a good time, up a bit of money but should of been a lot more some stupid degen moments I may write up about later when I am on not on such a rant mood.

Anyways this rant will be about taxis and how bad they have been for me recently. Anyways Barcelona only had to take 2 of them first one guy spoke no English besides some stuff he learned when he was trying out to become a tour bus driver. All he knew in English was stupid tourist things that I didn't care one bit about at 7am after flying for 8 hours. So a few nights later my WSOPE finally started I was at sportsman casino the furthest away and I had to take the tube for the first time to get there was lost as fuck basically. I know we finish after the tube stations close for the night so I need to take a taxi had like 20 pounds on me and figured it def wasn't enough. So I get back to the hotel room talk to connor whose basically busto from the tourney. Head back to my place try to get a taxi for 20 minutes no luck run into a tube station it's already 10:05 tourney restarted at 10 and I have no idea how far away I am. Anyways get there etc like 15minutes late sweating my ass of more then normal. Whatever only lost like 1500$ in equity for no taxis around. Was willing to pay 100 pounds to get one couldn't even find one to bribe on a quite active street.

We go out 2 nights later 4 of us roaming around the pubs it's like 3am now everythings closing try to goto a hookah lounge try for 2 hours to get a taxi and can't had 2 ones who were empty with thier lights on go past us as we were trying to flag them in. Get to Amsterdam use their taxi it goes quite smoothly the first time. While we are done at the grasshopper we see a line of taxis go try to get one but theres 10 police officers around. Apparanly it was some taxi checkpoint for licenses or something. So we try to get 3 diff empty taxis who just went through the checkpoint to take us and nada. Next 4 taxi rides to and from the main areas all turn out shitty in their own way mostly bitchy drivers who never shutup about how what we do. We get to the Amsterdam airport the taxi guy drops us off at the first terminal/gate but we were like 3 gates down he cost himself like 5$ in fares and just left us at the beginning. Get to london get in a taxi really quickly was about to fall asleep when I hear the driver telling us he just got a phone call from his wife. His son just broke his arm or something and he's going to try to find us a different cab to take us. We say whatever good luck etc. We spend the next HOUR walking around this hotelish highway area whatever. Loads of cabs flying by all full, we finally flat one down and we are running towards it and this stupid guy with english soccer shirt on hops in and says something to andy about waiting as long as us. And steals our cab. We run across like 4 lanes of highway and have to toss the heavy suitcase over this 3 foot fence that was like a v to make it harder to jump. My limber body gentle crashes over we hurry to the other side and try for another 10 minutes to get a taxi before taking a bus sigh.

From this day on I will never tip a taxi driver again and if they make a comment about no tip I say I'm shaun fucking deeb and got left many times by other asshole cabdrivers who didn't want to bother picking up passengers. So you get no tip because of them.

Welcome Welcome

Alright, time to get used to writing up at my new home here at tworags blogging community. I couldn't turn down the offer to write here with many of my early mentors and more recent ones were already here writing a lot better then I ever could. Anyways I'm hanging out in Amsterdam right now waiting for EPT London. Been great time here, A lot better action here then London. Meet up with a few 2+2ers and a local one from here who has a bunch of friends we are going out with tonite should be a good last night here. I have put more online sessions in here then I expected but we go out really early here and thus get back to the room around midnight-1am here and just make it in time for the 7 estern tourneys so we end up playing all night.

Also been playing a lot of HU cash lately on UB and stars up a good amount been playing a really really diff style thanks to being around andy lately. I tried to hit and run taylor cabby and that didn't work out too well. But I had a good blackjack session to even it up and then some.

Also not sure what the readers want so toss in a comment somethings you want me to write about or what type of stories you want to read. Like if you want HHs and reviews ask for that, if you want just traveling trip reports non poker ask for that, or just my degen stuff. Anyways I suck at writing and will have many misspellings so don't expect much from me with that on any and all future posts.
