Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Luton tonight, for the 46 runner £50 + £50, plus a 24 runner Last-Longer. (See Luton Comp Thread).

The evening began with a round of applause & a huge roar when, & trust me, it's true, Tighty somehow managed to get all his chips in the middle on the second hand of the night. He is very well liked & respected there.

Early L-L exits included Vinny, Compo, (who went on to nick £800 in the DC), & Rooks went about midway.

A young lad from Pockets, at Ware, Gary, was busting players with spectacular aplomb, left right & centre. In one coup, Bradders had Aces, I had Kings, & Gary Called the RR with 6-7, flop 8-9-T. Then he somehow managed to get 30k in pre-flop against Lalits 8-8, he had 5-6, & flopped the straight! With 12 players left, he had 81k, which was quadruple the average for the Final, (600-1,200), so it was more of a vomit than a spew for him to finish........11th!

Snat was low-chipped the entire night, & Finalled as Bottom Boy, but when I departed, he was Chip Daddy, well played him.

It was a grind the entire night for me, but the L-L Bragging Rights were all that mattered, & I hung in in true hungy style. Down to 2,900, (400-800) I Called all-in with 7-7 against two all-in-ers, they had A-K & A-Q, thty both missed, & I rivered the straight as a bonus.

A little revved up now, I shoved my now seemingly huge 8k in with 6-3, got a customer who had K-Q, I flopped trips, & rivered the straight, for which I came in for some well-deserved grief.

In the Final, Bradley (huge-chipped all night, played just terrific) caught me stealing, his A-Q dominating my Q-J, I failed to hit my 3 outer, but straighted instead.

Eventually, I made a shove (Blinds huge now) with A-T suited, but Snat was lurking behind me with the Bobbies, & that was that, 7th, for £120, plus £60 of Last-Longer.

Snat & Bradders looked to be in charge when I exited, but Lalit was still there with a great chance, too.

Once again, the Luton Usual Suspects outlasted & outgrinded the dancers.

A great, great, evening. 
 

omg do me a favour, we are outnumbered heavily- whos on my team besides gary (iv adopted him) , celtic and chompy (sorry guys ur in the PLAYERS team)? Also, who's team is compo on? Bradders is turning into a solid nit too (albeit a good one) so iv banished him till he recovers his nerve, he had THE BEST spot to 3b shove v phil "snatty" cooklin (who was pretty aggro last night, nhwpgg btw) and opted out. sigh, solidbackinfashionaments.

That, Sir, is an outrageous slur upon my character.

No way.

Did you, or did you not, get all your chips in the middle on the second hand of the night last night?

Banished, you are nothing but a wannabee Shove Monkey. I was ashamed of you.

It's true, but in my defence I was clearly high on the endorphins of thecelebrated shove monkey's in all other parts of the card-room

I have to go do some writing & blogging, then PTP, back later.

But I must warn you......

Steve Punchbag Kirk, who runs the massive Bird Forum  .net, has given me permission to upload winners of their annual Bird Photograph Competition. Look away, if you are not into Birds. Here's a teaser for now, more later. Lots more.

Sorry, one more, for now......

A foot in both camps - surely the badge of a true multi-dimensional player, in which case Rookie must surely be joined by Mr Lynch?

Yes, they get on very well. Most sentences when they clash start with "how could he call?".

A collective all of their own. The OddBods.

Spot the birdie. It is in there.
