I’m back in Prague for WSOP Europe, and I’m chasing bracelets with a very real bankroll challenge: I’ve got $30,000 (about €26K) to spend, and my goal is to win one. In this episode I jump into the €1,100 Mystery Bounty—40K starting stack, 30-minute levels—and the whole mission is simple: make Day 2 so I can start pulling mystery bounty envelopes for every knockout. Before the grind, I’m running on fumes after a late night exploring Prague (yes, the secret UV-light bar was as cool as it sounds) and getting “cultured” with #morebob. On the poker side, it gets swingy fast. I break down the pocket jacks hand that cost me a chunk early: I 3-bet from the small blind, face a cold 4-bet from a player I’ve never played with, and end up folding to a turn shove in a spot where I just didn’t think he was blasting off light. Later, I talk through a check-shove line with A♣J♣ on an 8♣7♣2♠ flop—using my read on an aggressive button to apply max pressure. I run it up, get card dead at the worst time, and bust short of the money… then come home tilted and immediately get hit with Bobby’s orange-peel-on-top-of-the-trash masterpiece. Poker life.
