Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Royal Flush]

Ha sounds like you had a similar day to me, better luck next time.

Morning.

The wifi is a nightmare this morning, so the Stakers Update from yesterday will have to wait, sorry.

Had some fun spots, & interesting table company, more of which later, when I find a reliable wifi somewhere.

In brief, though, after 15 years of actually playing to Min Cash, I could 100% of min-cashed yesterday, just by folding & nitting up, but I just forced myself to gamble.

I finished about 29th, with 21 paid. It was (approx., can't quite remember) $1,150 to Min Cash ($600 entry), and we had to finish 6th to get $4,000, 2nd for $10,000, & win it for $25,000. So I went for it.

I'm feeling a bit sheepish this morning, as I threw away $1,150, but I know it was right to try & play properly. The exit was a huge draw, & my man got a bit lucky on the river, but he did nothing wrong, as he had a big draw too. It still stings a bit though. As it is supposed to, of course.

I had been playing small-ball all Tourney, nice & cosy-wosy, so that added to my curly lip.

That aside, I've looked forward to this so much, & in every other respct, I had a whale of  time yesterday, like a dog with two whatsits.

Some details later, when I find some wifi. 

Next game is Wednesday, got some none-poker stuff for a few days now, oioi.

PS - We are $600 in the hole, & 0/0.

What's this 0/0 business? Shouldn't it be 0/1?

Please don't apologise for gambling in a poker tournament.

I remain concerned about the lack of beetroot and the wee situation.

That's what i thought.

Onwards and upwards.


Hope the non poker stuff goes well.

I thought it was "happy as a dog with two tails" or "horny as a three-peckered goat".

I'm not sure about dogs and their whatsits.

Nice deep run whatever the strategy.

Another good month in May with less "seeding" lost topics but still "a lot" in comparison, of posts.

Be there. Just be there, no excuses. Meet you in Starbucks @ 10.30?

Incidentally, for those unfamiliar with Las Vegas poker generally, or Golden Nugget & Binions in particular - when Conky Conk Conk says he might be seated to my immediate left, that CAN be, quite legitimately, arranged. Pay in, & the Nice Man then says "choose your seat & table", pointing to all the seat cards spread out on the counter. And you can select any eat & table you wish.

Thanks for the good wishes for today from Boo, Carl & David.

It's an 11am start today, so if I can find some Wifi down there, a few updates of my staggeringly exciting play may ensue.
