Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Think I will swerve that WSOP NLH/PLO thing today.

WSOP events are, to me, the greatest thing ever in poker & I love them to bits. We have enough cash in the kitty, too, though we have probably made a small loss overall.

I'm just not feeling it today though, I'm a bit under the weather (an "aircon cold") & part of the fun is thinking about these events in the days & weeks before. It all just feels a bit last minute.

Can you imagine those NLH hotshots with their level 5 thinking, & me sat here waiting for Aces all day?

You think about your age and go for it Tony . Live the dream . Enjoy .

Try Claritin for the air con cold I've had one too, the pharmacist in Walgreen recommended it to me ,it seems to have worked !!

Far too sensible (but probably the right move), after what you have been through the last few months you should be playing the main event, would you consider it?

Or loratadine for tightwads.

It is a bit late, but isn't the 10k plo8 better.  Tony is more comfortable in the game, a few play it really badly, it is done in 3 days and a better chance of a decent cash.

Loathe as I am to encourage concrete talk... That is incredible - and could be a game changer for tidal power generation where a sea-proof concrete would be so useful.

Life as we know it would not exist without concrete. It's taken for granted & vastly under-rated.

Almost everyone benefits from it every day.

And I was mightily relieved to see that the article never confused concrete with cement, as many fools do. They are completely different things.

I'll be working during the Main Event, so it's not possible really. Sky have been wonderfully supportive towards me whilst I have been ill & in recovery, so I would not want to take further liberties with their good nature.

Also, as Mr Doobs noted, the $10k PLO8 would be an immensely more realistic target for me, & I'd expect to cash with reasonable regularity in that.

$10k is too rich for me, but I did plan to play the Mega Sat to it. However, on the scheduled evening, I was nitting it up to the Final Table at Golden Nugget, for better or worse.

I'm going to give Roy Castle a ring to see if this beats the World Record for the number of brags in one internet forum post.
