Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

So, with that done & dusted (subject to Audit & repayments), now I need to get my head in gear for the Main Event.......

Will you prepare? 

How will you prepare? 

If you could have 30 minutes with any other player to discuss tactics who do you think you'd choose?

1) Crap myself.

2) Repeat 1.

3) I think I'd need to choose a "mind coach" rather than a poker coach, self-belief & confidence, or lack of, is my issue. I actually would be more confident if I were playing the $10,000 Omaha, in truth. I'll need to think who would be the best person to take advice from. Myself, probably, that's where the problem is. I'll spend a bit of time looking at my THM I think, to give me a boost.

I did chat with Alex, & he told me that if I found Aces, with a raiser in front, it would be best, given my image, to just flat the raise, as everyone would run a mile once I raised. KENDALL HAS ACES.

Hmm, Aces 4 way.......

At last something I can help with. I found the perfect prep was to go out get hammered the night before, get back to the hotel around midnight ignore your bed and play cash while sinking numerous Drambuie's till around 4am. This should ensure you are in fine form for the full day grind in a few hours....

If you need some advice on handling the bubble you only need to ask......GL mate have a blast.

Hammered? Lol, right.

Last time I got hammered was my 21st birthday. I swore then, never again. Dear God, it was AWFUL. If you don't mind me asking, have you ever been drunk, James? You know, properly drunk. 4 pints & a Babycham drunk.

I would dearly love to know where it was that you woke up the next morning to put you off drinking for life.

In bed. And not feeling myself at all.

[Tonji]

All the best Tikay in the main. You'll have the time of your life.

Will you be wearing fancy dress?  May be Jeeves could sort you out a costume, you'd be sure to make the TV clips!

Now that is open to considerable interpretation.

You can tell it's a temple, the shoes are on the outside.

As someone who's never been to LV I'm really enjoying these vids. Cheers Tikay and good luck in the ME

[DingleBelle]

Good luck Jedi Tikay.

Wish we were still there to rail you (terrible timing) but we're with you in spirit.

Go crush them kids. And no more cacking yourself.  Game. Face. On!
