Joda Fish
My poker name is Jodafish
I love the complexity and challenges of live poker, especially the game of pot limit Texas hold-em. And I have supplemented my income from this game for quite a few years. Not being able to find a local game and not being fluent in the language here in Italy I started playing one or two hours daily for fun on line.
Franca, who has great confidence in me decided that I should go to a casino and play for cash.”You take twenty-five hundred euro´s and play.” I explained that luck is always a factor in the game and there was no guarantee I would win. She said, “I don’t care if you lose it all, I want you to play.¨
That settled the issue, and she began planning a trip to Casino Sanremo which is located on the Riviera near the French border. I was planning to post pictures of inside the casino poker room on this forum.
As it turned out no cameras were allowed in the game room, and no limit betting was not to my liking. As a result I never even sat down to a table.
I did find the town interesting and even went bicycling for the first time in at least forty years. The suite we rented was not very exciting; the ocean view was misleading, although Di Vinci must have left one of his paintings in the bedroom. The best part of the trip was the guitar player; the worst part was the aggressiveness of the street venders. As it turned out it was a good thing I did not play and lose, for on returning to Santo Stefano we found that Franca´s car had been impounded and in order to get it back I had to pay two hundred Euro ransom.
Here are some pix for you. The first one shows my winnings after two years of playing on line; the last one is my latest painting... With all the gloom and doom in the world I wanted to paint something bright and cheerful.
Thank you for looking and taking the time to read my posts.
