blondes at Gutshot

[tikay]

Plenty of blondes down at Gutshot for their 4 day GSOP.

Today is Day Two. Blinds have an hour left at 100-200, 25 running ante. 180 odd started, & 117 are left. Starting stack was 10,000.

Thewster 14,850.

Wardonkey - about 16,000 I think.

Jen - 8,000 -ish.

Alright Jack 5,600-ish.

Chili - 8,500.

Me - 14,925.

Poor Red ran KK into Mr Lairy Man's-usually-got-garbage AA & busted early.

snoops lasted even less long. Dana tells me she's not at all surprised.

Jen was deep stack all day, until her AK narrowly failde to budge Mr Rock off QQ & she missed. She then went on the tear & fought back to 8k with a series of bold pushes.

Chili was the new Yoyo - 14k, 6k, 15k, 6k, 12k, 4k. I told her to "lock up" the last 10 minutes when she was down to 4k. So she went on an all-in rampage, bullied back up to 8k, including an astonishing push with bugger all. Sorry, AA.

Patrick Wardonkey played his usual solid game.

I had a cheek clenching moment after 4 hours. In the SB with 5-9, 3 way action, the flop came  ..... I checked, BB bet 600, Matey Boy called 600, I Raised 2k, BB moved all-in on me! 9-T? Nah,don't think so. Two pair? Maybe. Trips? Possibly. Flush draw? Hope not. Straight draw. Could be. As ever, my hand-reading skills were spot on - he had 4-5! Phew.....

Buoyed by this good fortune, I decided to send Jen Lady Mrs Merton Mason, who'd slid into a seat two to my left, a little message, & Raised her BB with Q-9. You need to put Jen in her place otherwise she dominates, see?

She called, the fool-ess. Flop was A-K-9, 2 spades, she checked, & I bet 1,000, protecting my (non-existent A) as I would aganist the spade draw. She called.  She check callled my 1k Turn bet, too. Damn. No sweat, I'll get her off it easy, on the end. River, she bets 4k. What? Eh? I gave her a good ticking off, & said "now behave, right? - I'lll let you live this time". She said sorry, it won't happen again, as she "accidentally" showed her hand. 4-4. I think she got the message though.

We have played one & half levels this afternoon (3 hours total) & are on a 1 hour Dinner Break now. Blinds are about to go 200-400, plus a 50 running ante. 90 of the original 187 runners are left, so the average stack is, well, quite a lot.

Alright Jack arrived 20 minutes late, but found AK very first hand. Sadly, that plays pretty badly against his oppos AA, & that was that.

Jen was next, on the tear a bit, but she ran two pair into a bigger two pair, & Miss Merton was miffed. Shame, because she was having a ball, just that AK v QQ hand did her last night really.

Wardonkey has run his stack up to 23k. He's dangerous.

Thewster is stable, about 15k I think. He had a bad situation. Dealer flipped one of his cards over whilst dealing it, it was a King. His other card? You guessed it. Geezer behind him Bet, next Geezer Re-Raises, next Geezer goes all in. Board was J high, & the Pot was 45k......

Chili has been up & down again. Last hand pre-dinner she got herself all-in with 5-7 on a 5-6-8 flop, Matey Boy had 6-8 for 2 pair. Turn, 4.....11k now.

I have been asleep - only 2 hours zzz's last night (well, this morning), as I had work to do. I began today with 14,925, & have 13,500 now. Geezer to my right did not turn up, which makes my BB very difficult to play, as Mr Lairy is on my button & he ain't daft.

Richard Gryko, (love to Mum) busted out last night.

I think we play 4 more levels tonight - thats until about 5am. If we survive. If I bust (once I bust?) I'll be back to the Hotel to get caught up on some work.

Later.

The Brunel Card-Marker is working well!

I think I had a misread with Alright Jack's exit. In fact, he had x-x, & his oppo had y-y, & the board came x-y-x-y-x. I think.

That's great news, i know Harmony will be chuffed to bits when she reads this after she gets back from work.

Keep it up sir !

Thewy finds a new way to beat Aces. He moves his last 4k in with QJ, Matey Boy moves all-in with AA, but the dealer accidentally mucked the Aces......

However, Thewy eventually perished.

Me - I'm on Life Support, 5k, a horrible level, but who knows.

Blinds are about to go to 400-800. 46 players are left.

Meanwhile, our Chip Leader - by a MILE - is........
