Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Currently on Dinner Break, play resumes @ 8.10pm, for Level 7, @ 200-400, with just under half the field remaining.

Another bad session I'm sorry to say, just had no material at all to work with, & Taylor (to my immediate right) has been nicking all my potential spots.

Have 4,900, so 12 Bigs, which is not good, but not panic time yet.

At least the game gets easy now, as once I find any sort of hand, I can play it without fear, as I have no fold equity. It's my comfort zone.

So, Level 7 will be make or break, for sure.

Some reasonable starting hands would be a nice bonus, never found a thing in the last level.

Think my best chance will be to take Taylor on when he opens in front of me, & I have half a hand, just re-pot him & hope for the best. Easy game.

Big spin coming up!!

Had to go get a jumper, am freezing in that room.

Was supposed to meet Flushy & Middy @ the break for Dinner, but they either blew me out, or busted & did not want to hang around, so I've had a lovely turkey & cheese sandwich, & a choc-ice. Yum yum.

Kate Langshaw was going along very well when I last saw her.

Padraig has about 6,000 I think.

Big spin coming up!!

I wish, but one will do, & put me right back in the mix. Average is only about 9,000.

How has the trip been so far?

Still getting those alarm calls from your mate?

Hopefully somebody is kind enough to help you back above average then.

Social side has been great, but my body gave out today, and I've been in the room all day sleeping. Still, I should be nice and fresh for Thursday, and hopefully I will need to put in a full shift at the Rio!

He was playing the $1500 today, so was out of the door and up to the Rio this morning. Unfortunately he busted just before dinner, in a strange coup, where the BB decided to repot his open with 778T, and his AA3T couldn't hold when they got it in.

I'm guessing that after today, I'll be the one giving out the alarm calls

Mini-boom.

There was an open to 1,200, one caller, & I found some balls and potted it.

Both of them called.

I had.....

 


....and we saw a...... .  Flop.

One of them had the nut low with me, so I got three quarters.

Got 9,700 now, which must be close to average.

Final total of entries was 991, of which 459 remain, though the exits are coming thick and fast, as it is move level.

12 bigs is loads in plo8. Only 1.5bb per orbit you know! And the best bit about that is that it means 24 bigs is positively monstrous!

Some flop!!

[Marky147]

Oioi!

[tikay]

Level 7 complete, blinds now go 300-600.

Progress has been neutral.

Of the 991 entrants, 660 have left the building.

[tikay]

At last, I seem to be finding better cards.

11,700.

Kate and Padraig both busto.

[tikay]

Just had the last break of the day, and Level 9 is about to start, with blinds @ 400-800.

Have got exactly 15 Bigs, which is slightly north of my comfort zone.

With 241 remaining from 991, 75%  of the field have departed.

[tikay]

At 400-800, it was folded to Taylor in the SB who had exactly 900, so I made the call for the extra 100, and I never even looked, real hero call.

Blinked the flush and scooped the whole lot.

Fearless.

[tikay]

Table Break imminent, we are next to break, and people are busting at a rate of knots.

[tikay]

Moved table, only guy I know is Miami John Cernuto.

215 remain.

A new set of belt accoutrements? Excellent.
