Talk to anyone, me.

Care to guess our combined age?

Is it 147, or as some like to call it the maximum?

Think they probably took a free ball and the black . . .

We get back on the bike today, & play this.....


Venetian, Friday 1st July, 5pm, $1,100 PLO/O8/Big O


5pm Vegas = 1am UK.

I plan to have an early lunch, get some sleep, & head across to Venetian at around 4pm, so there is no rush or hassle. It's a 2 day affair - hopefully.

Off we go.

[tikay]

We are playing 8 handed, and we play 8 hands per game, the sequence is......

4 card PLO

4 card PLO8

Big O (which is 5 card).

Good luck today tikay.

Almost time to sleep here so I'll look forward to reading about your antics in the morning (and hopefully Sunday morning too).

Thanks Aaron, night mate.

Level 1 ended, and we played exactly three "rotations" of each game, so 24 hands in 40 minutes. Pretty fast by "live" standards I would suggest.

16,500 from 15,000 starting.

[tikay]

Only hand of note was I popped it up in Big O (my favoured game of the 3) with.....

 

3 callers.

I caught the bad straight on the Q-8-7-6 turn, which I could not bet, but a beautiful 2 rivered to give me the lock at the bottom.

POT

Fold, fold, fold = SCOOPIO

Been no updates, as blonde crashed for 4 hours.

Will try and summarise what happened whilst blonde was AWOL.

[tikay]

My first table was a dream, no players of note, and good fun, but I got moved to the table of death.

Lost 5,800 pretty quickly with good aces on a lovely flop v shortie, I set him in, he improved, I went blankety blank.

9,000.

Table was killing me, chopped 4 pots in a row but could not scoop one.

Then we get another table move, better table this.

[tikay]

We dribble down to 5,800, card dead, spot dead.

Time to consider our first 2nd bullet of the trip. Big O is next, easily my best game, so the plan is to find a hand to flip with.
