In small stakes games, it is not uncommon to face opponents who think it is a good idea to limp in with a wide range of marginal hands.

Deauville is a beautiful city that looks like it is straight out of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Fortunately I made a deep run in the €10,000 buy-in high-roller event, which is always nice.
