So, 4 Tourneys played, 3 deep runs, but only one cash, & one poor effort, in the PLO8.

Tonight, I have paid in for tomorrow's (Thursday) $1,000 WSOP PLO.

I am Table 45, Seat 1. It seems seats 4, 5 & 6 will forever elude me. Still, I get a decent view of the Boar from Seat One. We start at Noon. (8pm UK).

2 tables away on 43.   Unfortunately seat 8 so won't have as good a view of the wild boar as you. C u in an hour

Well done on the cash I'm 0/0 in your language but 0/5 in reality.   PM'd you about today's game

I'm good thanks I still lurk here often

Yes its added a lot of potential $ to my total buyins this year too.  Last year I bought into $14k of total tournaments and already expecting it to be at least 1.5 x that this year. 

Likely similar dates/games and hotel this year as im booked 31st may for 33nights at Rio but the dates could change yet. 

Blogs died for now I think, a bit like the plo8 games online       As Doobs pointed out  CAPs is my choice of game for the last couple months and time being.   The swings are nuts and I lost $600 in my first 12 mins earlier 1 tabling so $1k in 20minutes is not only possible, its common    I need a stop loss for the day and set one at -$5k , the only trouble is the 2 or 3 times i've hit it i've carried on anyway ! 

Its all about the rakeback in these although unfortunately those new lower levels are nearly unbeatable due to the higher % of rake to the blinds.  Caps gets a bit of blame for decline in other games which is very unfair as it attracts a different type of player and often one u wont see playing the other game types.  There are no caps on the other 2 or 3 sites I used to play yet they have similar declines in traffic for all the common reasons we all know about and have been discussed before for not just O8 type games.

Agree u would like the 18mans , I played them a few years ago when 7 s and 15s ran all day.   Looking now there is 1 $7 and no 15s.  Its all $3.5 and $1.5 that's there's loads of running early evening.

Anyway back to vegas stuff, nice wishlist.   $1500 is 24th not 23rd so only the "bad" clash from my (maybe your) is the BIG O and PLO8 at nugget on the 23rd.  Obv still wynn aria and planet Hollywood schedules to come but I expect 0-1 games to appeal to me from each of these.

I will take 1% if you still selling , if not put me on a reserve list

A rare post as I couldn't contain my excitement, Venetian schedule much better than previous year !!!

Love all the food discussion, Deffo gonna have to discuss this next year at the tables with u. The bizarre thing is I've lost weight the last 3 trips to Vegas. tbh one was cos of illness but the other  2 were becos it's wsop time and I'm stumping up a huge % of earnings for the chance of the bigger stuff. I still drink as much as I would at home but my motivation for gym sessions and "healthier" food seems to increase tenfold. let's be clear here though I'm back home 5 days and I would luv to carry this routine on but it fails for reasons I won't mention here. I still have hope I can take online as seriously and follow the same routine but it's just not gonna happen .

And 1 more for luck !

I just had a good read of your Blog. Excellent reading, if I may say so. Especially "My Top 8 Vegas Moments, 2013 - Part 7, Famous Blokes I met".

You must be quite a rare breed to make a living Online out of those daft games.

Feel free to reply, & that's your 10 Posts.

Having watched you play, I can see why your alias is "Animal"......

If u saw me eating u would see why my alias is Animal

Headphone - Hoodie man hit quads in consecutive hands. Busts 4 players. Never once smiles, acknowledges his good fortune, nothing. He hard.

I have A-K-Q-10 ccdd.

Flop is.......

 

H-H man leads out. I think he may have flopped a set, he is UTG, and good. OK, I will take another card. Call.

Turn, interestingly, is another K. Ooh.

So he may well have housed up now, but I have redraws galore. He bets pot, I call.

River.........another K!

He instantly starts shaking his head. He checks, I bet, he flings his cards at the Dealer, and walks away from the table shaking his head. Guess he forgot he just had quads twice running.

He is still sitting there, shaking his head......

Next hand, he fails to notice there has been a raise to 2,000 and limps for 800.

Dealer tells him, he has to call the raise or forfeit the 800. He demands a ruling.

"I never knew there had been a raise, as the two x 1,000 chips were not together, so I assumed it was two callers. The dealer has a responsibility to ensure the chips are together, in front of the player".

Floor says "you should watch the action, your headphones don't help".

H-H Kid says "pardon"......,.

I used http://www.thomasexchangeglobal.co.uk/ in the past and would really recommend their services. They'll give you a much better rate than the bank/airport etc. and are good for large amounts. You need to scan/send in a few documents but they're pretty efficient and fast at confirming them. You then bank transfer them the money in £ and they send the $ in the post to you next-day delivery with insurance. Also they have a good buy-back scheme in-case you don't punt it all off in strip clubs etc.

Please message me if you have currency needs, i would be very surprised if we can't beat any other rate you get offered and i can guarantee you less hassle.

unable to message you, hav emailed the email on your profile, hope thats current ta

Nah Venetain deepstacks starts the day i fly back home on the 28th Oct.   Think theres a caesars one on while im out there though.   If ure out b4 i leave let me knw for sure though.

Hi Alex.

Not stayed trump but around that price range is hilton vacations club down near stratosphere.   Old favourite of mine, actually staying there from Friday this week.   

Basically no casino , nice pool, snack bar and rooms are fine, can even upgrade to one with separate living room for sort of price trump would be.   no resort fees or anything like that.

Obv further out, havent walked cos of heat but think its bout 15mins to Wynn.  Key bit for me though, what u spend on taxis you save on internet as its free.

Google it or theres a link off my blog, worth a look.
