Are you all still friends with Neil Blatchly as well?

I don't know Neil Blatchly & I don't know you (at least not through your Blonde alias).

I have followed Stu for 10+ years. Regularly staking him (very minor level) with no issues.

I was shocked to hear about this, but truly believe it was a one-off transgression. I did not stake him this year, as I was saving my cash for my own Vegas adventure.

I have messaged Stu and he deeply regrets what he has done.

I still consider him my friend.

Sadly, no good in $240 TORSE. Quite a fast structure, with a lot of raises & 3-bets.
Made it to level 11 but same story of constantly getting pipped.
If I was drawing, I missed. My strong Stud/Razz hands were too strong & rarely got paid after 4th street.
Won one stud hand earlier that I might have folded if there was a completion -100/300/600
I am Seat6 with & bring in K9/3 rainbow
Seat 1 Q calls
Seat 2 A (folds)
Seat 3 7 calls
Boards run out
Me K9/3KQK/3
S 1 XX/QQ7Jx fold
S 3 XX/7T fold

Call bet on 4th, get bets called on 5th & 6th, fold on 7th. Getting the Q hurt me.

Yeah.
Gonna play TORSE at The Orleans today.
Fly home Thursday.

Dream is over.
Came back from break. 3 hands later I was all in on my BB with 632 made 96532 but no good against opponents 87.
Seat 1 was still away from table looking for a drink.
He was pretty drunk when I joined table. Kept wanting to bet more than the big bet.
Pretty frustrating to lose out to a player like that.
Gonna chill tomorrow then probably play the TORSE at The Orleans on Wednesday

Table break kills me! Win one pot against a player (seat 1) that cannot fold.
Then lose 7 in a row. Seat 1 draws 3,2,2 to make 76432 againat my 76532 on 1st draw. One other player in pot drawing 1.
Down to 10k

115k - ave 64k won 2 decent pots with 85432
246 left - 96 paid

Last update as battery low. 46k in level 10. Ave 43k.
635 players. Reg closed

Steady upward progress to 36k - ave 33k.
Exceeded last years field & still over an hour of late reg.

Dropped back to 16k in level 5.
27k at 2nd break. Nice rush in level 6.
Ave 29k. Got 3 more levels before late reg closes.
Still on table Yellow 295.
Lost one player in last level.
Actor James Woods on adjacent table & Chainsaw behind me.

Horrendous level 4. Kept getting 7432 and going brick brick brick.
Twice I paired 7 on 3rd draw.
Dropped to 2800 chips at 300/600.
Defended with 632 & made an 86 to survive. Doubled again with 865 v 876.
Now just over 20k.

Not the best start. Lost a few chips early but got back to starting stack.
Then lost with 7632 drawing 1 three times to finish with a 10 losing to 97.
Lost back to back No (76542) first to 76532 then 76432.
Went down to 9k.
Recovered a bit to 14k at first break.
Coming back to 300/500 blinds with bets 500/1k.

Cheers Doobs

5 years later!!
I am playing my 4th World Series event (excluding my min cash in a circuit ring game at DTD last year).
Today is #63 $1500 2-7 Triple Draw. Starts 2pm with 25k stack.
Love limit 2-7 as you get lots of play.
Will post some hands here but not to the standard of Mr Rutter!
Will update stack if big change or at breaks.

I told you to run deep in the mixed lowball so that I could rail you tonight!!
Currently sat at Heathrow waiting for my 4.35pm flight.
Great run so far, more to come from you this series Stu.
