Vienna Spring Poker Festival

Norwich Fan Rob

Arrived last night, now in casino waiting on a super sat starting.
2 televised tables happening now at the other end of the room, but place all ready to go for tomorrow.

Will report back after I get my backside in gear and charge this thing!

i'm thinking of heading there for the cash games,are there many running at the moment rob?

It's Cat here . . . Rob's just away to register for the super sat.

There are a few cash tables in operation. To be honest the room itself isn't huge and everyone is very close together. In the last hour there has been a huge increase in the number of people sitting at tables.

Tony G is getting interviewed at the table to my right as I type here and I've been reliably informed he's very well known.

Head over anyway, the more the better!

anyone doing updates on this? I'm lazy and I know quite a few playing in it!

Norwich Fan Rob

Rob's currently in the food tent feeding his face, so I'm left here manning the laptop and playing some online MTTs.

The main event doesn't start until tomorrow, today is just a super sat for it.
Who are you wanting to follow? If I get any info on them I will by all means post it.

Some Austrian guys, there's a fair chance it'd be a needle in a haystack job for you to find them

I meant was blonde poker or anyone like that doing coverage?

Norwich Fan Rob

not that I know of, if I hear of anything I'll post it lazy git

With 18 mins to the end of the 2nd session, (basically just over 2 and a half hours play) Rob has 13,850 in chips. Starting stack was 15k.

Laptop battery is not cooperating but socket willing hopefully there will be more updates.

I played this tourney last year, Robin. There were few cashgames in the Concorde and long wait lists, if i recall right. We ended up playing omaha in some other casino (fronted by yer man Yin Kai Lin ... spelling?) instead. They were fun and fishy.

The Concord is by far the best for cash games at the moment in Vienna. If you can't get a game then try Pokerworld. It's not that far away (should be about 10€ in a taxi at most).

Good luck Rob.

peaked at 22500 in level 4
had a few raises picked off and was down to 17.5k when i made it 1300 with AK, shorty called, flop came KJ2, i bet the pot, he jammed for 2400 more, had to call , he had JJJ.
on 11k , guy std raised to 700, loose dude jammed for 8k, i called with QQ, he had AK, lost that one.
last 3600 went in in last level of the day with AJ, vs 66, obv lost that one too.
so out, dont think i did a huge amount wrong, but there u go.

going get some sightseeing in and play the 1k game on wednesday.
