Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

We are playing at quite a clip, averaging 3 orbits (27 hands) per hour.

It costs 2,400 per orbit, so the next 2 hour level will cost me nearly 15,000 of my current 28,000.

Don't HAVE to find a hand this level, but if I leave it longer, the hole just gets deeper.

So, next Level it is.

Cover me, I'm going in.

Just missed a lovely spot to near double up, but I out-thought myself.

Too embarrassing to confess right now.

Only cost me one big blind, but the lost opportunity was almost a double up.

[tikay]

Am in dire trouble now, 17,000.

Double or bust imminento. *

* For thickos, that is Latin.

Just woke up from my power nap, just in time for your double up. Glglglgl.

Tosser.

And just as Vinni arrives for my 2xup, I go busto.

Had 15,000 in the SB, it was folded to the Button who made it 2,500. Clearly, it is impossible for him to have a hand here.

I had K-9, & shoved, he thought he had A-Q (technically, he did), & I failed to get there. 

Exit occurred 1 hour & 10 minutes into Level 9 @ 21.25 Vegas time.

Full excuses Tourney Report in the morning.

Bit of a shame really, was really getting into that.

Unlucky Tikay, exit hand sounds very standard, just unlucky he had a had, and even though he did, you were still very live and almost even money to double up. Good run and really enjoyed the sweat and updates

See you tomorrow, hopefully I'll have better fortunes.

Unlucky Tikay and great updates.

Unlucky tikay, have enjoyed reading the updates a lot.

Not the squeeze I was hoping for this morning but sounds to me like you had an absolutely ball this week.

Many congratulations.

[Marky147]

Unlucky Tikay, but it's been a great ride and been great fun to follow you over the 2 days.

Best start the spin up for 2014 now, so you can get it crushed next year!

Thanks for the ride.

I may never play the Main Event, indeed I may never get to Vegas, but your work this past few weeks has been so evocative that I could probably convince people that I am a regular attendee.
