Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Excuses, John Deere tractors, And, for a change, rather a lot, too much perhaps, talk about poker, & whether I murdered A-Q......

Good blog.
Really glad that you're enjoying it.

You showed the 89   Rookie mistake, imho.

Some updates starting 18 hours ago:

Morning all! Today, in the thus far unsuccessful quest to cash even once, it's the Noon Venetian $500. (Noon Vegas, 8pm UK). Updates here.

Set aside at least 10 minutes if you intend to follow my progress in today's Noon $500 at Venetian. Don't blink either, or you may miss it.

I am running so bad, I don't think I could beat ANYONE right now, with one obvious exception. God bless @Rich_Orford.

@Julian_Thew. Look forward to your arrival. Am running very well. Bring me some money.

Off we go. Pokers answer to Strictly Come Dancing, to the waltz beat. Prepare for pass, pass, quick quick pass. I give you, poker, tk style

50/100, SEVEN limpers on my BB, I make it 700. Get 6 callers, flop K-Q-T. C-bet Sir? Err, not today, thank you very much. Next case.

Next car crash? -Th, and I river the nut flush, board is A-A-8-8-9, checked till end, then chips flying everywhere. Fold.[ ] Going well.

Oh yes, bluffed a 4k pot against aggro kid. He was sooo tilted, lol. Think he is gonna tell his mum, and his mates @ school. Bless.

485 runners @ 1st break, am up to 13,500. That showed dem pesky kids. Shame we began with 15k, woulda been +ev to sit out first 4 levels....

Full Tilts finest, @JamesDempseyFTP, out of todays WSOP already. He is coming to se me, to meet & mock. Might nip him.

Table move, arrive @ new table to find FOUR players aipf. Biggest stack showed A-10. And scooped. This is SCARY. Ho hum.

Chompy is on next table, comes across to chat. Kid on his table asks him "is that your brother?". Made my day, I am so happy now.



Umm, well, how shall I put this?......no, am not out, no way, I am Lord Nit. Technically not out, I mean. Let's call it a chip shortage, eh?

So, it's "Table Crazy", 100/200/25. UTG makes it 1k, SIX callers. I have As-Ks, playing 11,000.... My man had 9-9. Umm, taxi 4 tikay.....

OK, time to panic. I mean, re-group. Caesars 4pm Omaha, $200, with 20,000 chips. Wonder how long I can make those last? Do I hear 20 mins?

Holding Q-8-x-x, we see a flop of Q-Q-8. When I say we, I me and Mr Drawing Dead Non-Believer, who held 8-8-poo-poo. And could not fold.45k.

Next up, I river the str8 flush, & nut flush. Even a complete novice does not pay me off here, as I have the world. Guy with 2 pair pays

Bumped into J-Hartigan, was embarrassing, think he borrowed @Richard_Orford wardrobe. Photo in tomorrows blog. Mablethorbe sandals indeed...

Am advising J-Hartigan on how to use an i-pad, but it's hard work, he barely understands techie jobbie jobbie stuff.

@kamranmalik80 Yup, still in, going like a train, 70 of 180 remain. Got wi-fi issues here, hence lack of tweety weeties.

54 of 181 remain, have 160k, which is triple average. I can be trusted to find a spot to donk off, oh yes sirree.

OFFICIAL BOK ALERT. Am in danger of cashing here. Bok me now, or forever hold your peace. You have been warned.

Bok harder, it's gonna be close! Am short, and it's........BUBBLE TIME.......

This bubble has lasted over an hour already, my bum has been clenched so hard I waddle like a duck when I walk. Bok harder please.

Ship it!

Wiiii. We cashed. Was never in doubt. Ish.



Shucks, so many people's dreams crushed.

Morning, especially to "investors" & stakees......

Got to be brief, as I've not penned today's Blog yet, but.....

Quite a difficult choice today, as to playing.

There is a whoppa @ The Venetian, $2,500, but given I'm not running, or maybe playing, too well, that's probably not very sensible.

There is also a WSOP Omaha/Hi-Lo 7 card Stud Bracelet Event too, again, very tempting, but @ $2,500, same comments as above.

But a $200 Rebuy/add-on jobbie @ The Wynn caught my eye, looks pretty good, & I've never played poker @ The Wynn, so that looks the fave at the moment. Has anybody got any experience of this Tourney, or comments about it? Anyone know how many runners it has been getting, how many rebuys it averages?

http://www.visitwynn.com/documents/WynnPoker_WCSG_Structure.pdf

For purposes of budget, I'd need to budget for one rebuy, & one add-on, both seem, to me, pretty much mandatory, so we are talking $600.

Thoughts anyone? Advice would be very welcome, tia.

As to future spend on the stake, not sure how much I've blown so far, or concrete plans going forward, but I plan to play Wednesday's $1,500 @ The Venetian, as I already agreed to play that with the Thewster, & the $1,000 affair at Binions at the end of this week.

So, I'm not exactly setting Vegas on fire so far, but I think my projected spend is ikely to come in far less than the $10k max spend I originally suggested.

I duffed out again yesterday - details in upcoming Day 7 Blog - but I had a 10% swap with James Hartigan, which yielded $400, & I'm putting that in the stakers scheme, so total yield so far comes to $702 + $400.

"Going skinto slowly" seems to be the theme......

Hving an abso ball though. Was not too well yesterday, just tiredness I think, & was in bed by 5pm, & never woke until 6am today, & feeling better.

[tikay]

Batteries, busto, cardigans, i-pad2 & transistor radios. Oh, & even some poker nonsense.
