Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Doobs]

someone on reddit took this photo and added the tube lines to it

Ha, fabulous.

Many folks don't realise that the London Tube Map is schematic, & does not represent the actual routes taken. It's quite hard to explain, too.

Do the Northern line branches cross around Euston?  Never realised that before.   The schematic map doesn't show the crossing with the bank branch staying on the East of the Charing Cross branch.

Chaos here
Allin for my first life 15 mins in .
3 way pot and drawing vs an obvious aaa with wrap and nut flush draw .
Get there on river but gives the 3rd guy the low , was ready with that re-entry !

[tikay]

First level safely negotiated, and unlike Animal or Flushy no action or drama, 7,300 from 7,500 starting.

Average age 85, except for one young pro who is running over the table a bit and must think it's Christmas. Not a problem to me though, I'm seat 1 he is seat 5.

Most enjoyable so far.

Wearing my other new Boeing hat and my LeBron shirt, feeling pretty good.

If I stay here just a little bit longer, if I stay here won't you listen, whoa......

Yay. 90 minutes in and just been dealt an ace for the first time.

For those unfamiliar with PLO8, an ace is really important, as it plays both ends, in effect we have 5 cards in our hand whereas those without an ace only have 4 cards. We don't have to have an ace to play, but it sure helps.

Just had AA210 vs AA59, all in 6000 pot
9 on flop 9 on river GG me
Thankfully mine was in a £3 DYM not a $1500.00 WSOP tournament

Got a wasted Stu Rutter on table behind me .
Literally sat 10 minutes ago and I’m not exaggerating he’s said the phrase “we are the champions of Europe “ over 100 times already . 

His table look so tilted , literally not stopped talking since sat . So funny .

[animalpoker]

So he got moved .
Got up . Dropped chips right by me twice. 
Obv I helped and pointed him in right direction to other corner of room.
Watched him do a full circuit of the room stopping by the football screen chatting to a cleaner for 2mins .
Finally approached the middle podium floor guy who I assume seated him as haven’t heard or seen him for 5 mins .

Just bumped into the animal and Rutter, com scenes.

Level 2 complete, 6,000 from 7,500, one mistake cost me dearly.

Had Broadway on a board that contained a low and bet the river. The default here is they are far more likely to have the low and I get half. Unforch, two of us had the same high so low man got half and I got quartered.

Not played many hands at all, very poor material so far.

On we go.

Ugh. It deffo plays the same in a $1,500 affair, it just hurts more.

Glad to hear the PLO8 DYM games are still running despite the hot weather and so many Sky players over in Vegas.

My BB and I get to see a free flop 6 way with

 

It comes....

  

Bet, two callers.

 

Check all round.

 

Check fold. There's not a hand I can beat here.

Just had a visitor from the Gala Notts days, Phil Clarke (?) aka PhilthePower on blonde, big Derby County fan.

He's playing cash mainly, but told me that Greek Jack and Tassos are both in town too.

Best of luck, Dr Kendall!

He could not resist the value, but did not get my table.
