Having just been paid on Friday I decide to return to the old bar where I used to play poker last year. The games are never that big but excellent for making a few new contacts and even friends in a city where you're the minority. It was good to see the same guys playing and back in Korea, not simply because I know how to take their money, but because a midweek break from work with a few beers and some familiar faces makes the week fly by. As a bonus the bar is clean, cheap and serves good food. The only place I can find that does chips 'n' curry and it tastes just like back home. The owner is a lanky Korean who has a massive smile and googly eyes. A really nice guy who keeps the bar opened late for us, sometimes pushing for 5 or 6am.
As one of the players said in the taxi home '4 o'clock in the morning seems to come so quickly in Korea'. Never been so true. Working from two in the afternoon till nine means there is no rush to sleep. By 4 o'clock I had turned my $50 into $200. It's good to start a new bankroll positively. I made a few errors, such as moving in when I should of value bet after hitting the nut flush on the river(maybe an error), and I lost an all-in for a $120 pot even though I was 60-40 favourite. Walking away with a profit still, made the night a good one.
