Well I had a relaxing day with my 10 minutes sunbathing, an hour or so in the gym, coffee in Starbucks…and of course I got to thinking… if all the top players are in the HORSE then maybe the 5pm event will be a good opportunity? So, due to a mixture of boredom & opportunity, I wander up to the Rio for the evening event… and sit down next to Humberto Brenes… and within touching distance of Johnny Lodden & Willem Thorsten… hmmm, maybe that logic fails somewhere.
Dichotomy…now there’s an interesting word.
I have played 9 events
   I have taken an early bath         0 times
   I have exited about 50% thru the field   3 times
   I have exited 75% thru the field      2 times
   I have bubbled (or one or two off)       2 times
   I have just cashed            2 times
   I have made serious money         0 times
Bare in mind I have complained vehemently that you don’t get enough starting chips considering this is The World Series Of Poker. Obviously the stats just don’t prove my point. Although I think they do indicate that I am playing quite well J
So I am quite relieved to say, 2 hours in and I move over the top of an early position raiser (he made it 700) with my pocket Queens for my 3000 starting stack. Only to find the Big Blind with Kings. With more chips I probably raise a little less, and may get away from this hand… finally I have some justification for my whinging !
 Bankroll   -$10,100
IPOD favourite of the day… Kashmir, Led Zeppelin

Ok, well this will provide a few laughs for those looking for trouble out there. Over 600 players sat down in the PLO/hi-Lo split tourney… and Devilfish just happens to sit down right next to me!
I’m afraid there was no scandal though. Sorry to disappoint. In fact we were very civil. He spent most of the 2 hours that I survived, telling me about his sexual exploits, being unable to fit his Hummer into any of the 3 garages at his new pad (life’s a drag sometimes) and generally being very nice… a quantum leap  from the last time we spoke.
I’ve said it before, but the problem was completely exasperated for this tourney; 3000 starting chips for a high low Pot Limit tourney? World Series Of Poker? It’s not fit to use the name…I exited after 2 hours and had survived about 40% of the field!
(Aces blah blah bad beat boring blah blah)
As you can probably see, Vegas is beginning to get me down right now. I’ve managed to fall out with Rhowena in cyberspace, which didn’t help. I did sneak of for the 90 minute dinner break yesterday with Chilli, but generally I guess I am missing a bit of female companionship… either that or I just need to go out and get totally hammered… hmmm, now maybe that is the answer.
Bankroll   -$11,600
IPOD favourite of the day… Still I’m Sad, Rainbow

Jen and I went to see how George Danzer was doing briefly after finishing the updates, and as we spotted him, it was announced they'd made the money. The tournament started at 5pm, it was now just 12.45am!

Well I did actually manage to take two whole days off poker. See, I knew I wasn’t sick J . Amongst those encountered at various Las Vegas bars were the great story-teller and ex-WSOP floor-man, ‘Schoff’ and the effervescent big-stakes cash player Missouri Dave (who lives in Tahoe).
A snippet from Missouri Dave… Jamie Gold is doing his conkers in the big cash game at The Venetian… how long does 12 million last?… when divided by 2?
Schoff was full of numerous old time stories, including one about Benny Binion asking Schoff to seat an elderly lady in a wheelchair inside the ring of a throbbing crowd of spectators watching the main event final table one year. ‘Did you do it?’ I asked… ‘Of course, else I would have ended up in the middle of the desert’… things aint what they used to be.

Thursday June 28th
Completely refreshed and raring to go, I turned up at The Rio early to help Brian Wilson host his ‘Talking Trash’ web-cast on worlseriesofpoker.com. The day got off to a very pleasant start with the humorous & entertaining company of both EPT god John Duthie and the absolutely gorgeous Lacey Jones.
Unfortunately, when I sat down in the $5000 short handed NLH things took a turn for the worse. I still had great company in that I shared a table with Andy Black in top form. However, we had the absolutely tightest table in the room. On Tony G’s table next to me they lost 6 or 7 players in the first 4 hours. One guy amassed 50,000 chips (having started with 10k) and lost the lot during this period.
On my table, nobody peaked above 16k! I was eventually the first casualty 30 minutes into the fifth hour. I bravely made a move from the BB with a pair and a flush draw but unfortunately ran into the button holding 2 pair. The flush didn’t materialise, and I was on my way.
Bankroll   -$16,600
IPOD favourite of the day… Atmosphere, Joy Division …. (did you know this was voted all-time No.1 in John Peel’s festive 50?) … once I start playing it, I just can’t stop… so I stuck it on my MYSPACE page.
