2023 WSOP

That's so bad.

I've never been afraid of dogs until recently when I had a bad experience with my next door neighbour's dog, it's one of those stocky little ugly things, & now I've become really scared of unruly/or poorly trained dogs. I'd not want to sit next to Dog Bloke, & he should be the one inconvenienced, not me.

I understand the need for Service Dogs, but in many cases they are no such thing.

Somebody was moved there.  Clearly aware of at least the noise.  Approaches apprehensively.  Dog man smiles, shakes his hand, probably tells him the dog isn't aggressive.   

I was mauled by a Doberman when I was a kid. I don't think you ever get over it.  Am obviously biassed.

I don't know if I mentioned it here before, but a few years ago I was sat with Jason Mercier with a "service dog".  He spent the next few hours swapping the dog with his missus and even leant it to assorted friends.

I am prepared to give people the benefit of the doubt.  But if you can share your service dog around, you don't need a service dog, and I think the benefit of the doubt is gone here too.

^^^^ exactly.

What is a service dog?

I assume not a guide dog for a blind person as that’s not gonna be much help in a poker tournament - ‘What’s that Fido, I’ve been dealt another rough hand?’

[Doobs]

Just a dog for any purpose you like.  Rules are you can ask what it is for, but they don't have to tell you or prove it.

Got about 35k from 40k starting.

Had kings twice, called down Vs a flopped straight once.  Folded correctly once.  Folded queens on the flop once, felt right.

Then won a flip with Vs AK.

Was feeling a bit grim earlier, but settled now.

FWIW started playing badly after all the big pair folds/calls.

Keep at it, Doobs.

Not going this year, so all vicarious Vegas poker stories very much appreciated.

Am fine now. ETA of bust out between 6 and 7pm.  Currently just finished level 8.  Had 33bbs. 

[Doobs]

Flipping like a good 'un. QQ >AK. Then KK beats AQ on Q high flop.

Up to about 130k.

Here we go, Doobs is cooking.

Goooo Doooobs 

[Marky147]

Been away for a few days and just catching up. Sounds like a mare of a trip thus far, but hopefully today it all turns around.

Good luck, mate!"

[Doobs]

Made end of level 12.  88 > KK.  88 < KQ.  So still on about 130k. Blinds were 1/2.5.  Table breaking soon which will be welcome as KK was on my left and was replaced by an aggro fella with more than twice my chips.

[Doobs]

Made the dinner break.  Got 137,500.  Think average is close to 200k.  Was pretty card dead for the last 2 hours.

Would love to, but am in Paris and not sure I have the time.  2 trips down the strip on a weekend and was a 90 minute wait yesterday.

Dusted $150 there the other day after 2xWynn bust outs.  Was very good.
