In yet another Vegas shock the 7.00 at Caesers was chopped at heads-up by our very own Tikay.  Full report to follow (I'm sure)


BTW Kravchenko just bit the dust on an AK v 88.  he was the first player to go since 5.30 vegas time Now 1.00 am) and as the 8 hit the board the press room cheered as one!  It's turning into a long haul.  But I wouldn@t be anywhere else!!

What is Latin for chopped?

They probably didn't have a word for it back then(apart from cutting off someones head) they were hard, they didn't compromise!!! ::)

I was going to go for Choppus Maximus.

first compo wins a tourney in Vegas,

then grandad follows it up.

It cant be that easy can it ? I think I know where I will be spending my autumn holidays.....better pack the linen suit...

I'm with you - all these brits spanking the americans bums - they must wonder whats hitting them  ;D

Of course in American that means - all these brits spanking the american tramps....... it looses something in translation!

Well done Tikay - the engagement ring is getting bigger  ::)

Well done Tikay, great result.

And for Rodders too.

Embarrassingly, only 30 runners. (You HAD to ask, eh?).

The Buy-in was $330, & a "saver" was agreed for 5th & 6th, as it only paid 4 places. One of the shorties was a Brit, great lad, so I was happy to agree.

It's pretty small beer compared to what some of the Brits have scooped, but I'm as happy as I can be, & I know my (very considerble) limitations at this game. I rarely do well in big fields, I ain't got the game, but each to their own, & in short fields, I can make a living, & guarantee to be able to stay in poker, which does me nicely.

Can we say it was a field "in excess of 29 runners"?.....

As to the comments that the game over here is soft, if Compo & me can come out ahead - you are not wrong, the quality of play is pretty naff, on the whole.

I described the following play in my Diary, & I repeat it here - can you imagine a worse way to play 3-3? In fact, as it turned out, I got very lucky to win this hand, via a counterfeited pair, but I think this play sums it up, I think it was truly appalling for a $330 (£165) Tourney. I mean, talk about being able to "find a better spot", the geezer was in the Blinds, had me behind him, & he CHECK CALLED pre & Post flop!

Later, with 16k now, I R it up with this......

   Ad Jd

....but get called by the BB, who I cover easily. The flop was......

     Qd Qc 9d

Well, LOTS of outs there!

He checks, I move in, he instacalls - and I can't believe his hand -  3s 3c  ........! That some robust playing of a baby pair. I miss eveything, but get this turn & river - running Fives, to counterfeit his pair, phew!

Ah well, gotta take what you nan, where & when you can. I'm almost tempted to spend more time out here later in the year.

Thank you for all the nice comments.

Great results boys...Now back to reality.Make sure you spend a little on raincoats as it's forcasting heavy rain for your return home.

In my youth we used to have a saying in our attempted Saturday night pulling contests..........Vidi, Vici,Veni

Nice one Tikay.
 ;applause;

Indeed, mucho congratulations Tony, nice one.

All the best,

Bainn & Harmony.
