(5) One Last Push

Submitted by: snoopy on Tue, 01/08/2006 - 2:50am

At last, a result of sorts. As soon as I saw Nick Slade double up on the first hand at the Bellagio on Friday I gave him the nod and we swapped 5% and the boy done good and went on to chop it up (this happened the other way around at Walsall the other month and I got to chop).

I had a great shot in the same comp yesterday and had so many chips it was embarrassing, but bluffing into quads with eleven left probably wasn’t the smartest move I’ve ever unleashed and then I got a little unlucky to get my Q-Q busted by A-3 - lets try and be positive though, the deficit is at least slowly getting nibbled into…

Recent upswing aside, twelve days in and the trip so far has been pretty disappointing. I’m aware how important an asset confidence is and I do at least still feel upbeat about the remaining week and the Main Event which starts for me on Sunday, that’s today, in about an hour, gulp.

The game plan is sorted, nothing fancy or unique, I’m prepared for a long disciplined/boring day and just need to be a good boy, on my best behaviour to see it through.

Percentages-wise we’re looking at eleven swaps, mainly 2’s and 3’s, predominantly with grinders (Bushey) but there are one or two chip getters in there (Milkybarkid) just to keep it interesting.
