Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[animalpoker]

I'm bananas shortly after the break when I found a good spot to squeeze after a raise and 4 callers.  Managed to get it hu but failed to take any % of the pot.  Can see Jeff Duvall playing cash so he must have bust already too.  Gl , hopefully won't see you until tommorrow.

Sadly, Doobs, who is under the weather, got coolered for the second time by the same guy and is now out.

Not seen - or heard - Animal, but sure he'll be in good shape, and talking his table to death.

[Doobs]

Bananas too

Got it in again  70/30+.  Didn't win any of the pot.  Managed to spew 1500 earlier on a complete misread.  How I did that one tabling, I have no idea.

Good luck Tony.

^^^^^

Whoops, bad timing.......

The flag of blonde is pinned to my mast now, God help us.

Thanks David.

2 bananas in 10 minutes is almost a bunch.

Sorry to hear about Doobs and Animal's misfortune. I have to agree with Tikay, two bananas in quick succession isn't fruitful at all. I have no doubt the Silver Rogue can get the job done though.  I'm down to one online tourney too so this might be my last visit here until the morning. I'm expecting great things Tikay ....

[tikay]

Not sure about "great things" Andy, we encountered some heavy artillery that level and did well to emerge with 11,500, going into level 5 which will be 150-300.

Second break now, and if we can reach the dinner break after level 6 with 20 Bigs or more then we might be in for a fun evening.

Just seen Flushy, he has 23,000. The boy is blessed, but doubt he has the skills to run deep in an O8 affair.

Talal Shekerchi has arrived to my immediate left. Fun guy, like him a lot. He had just busted the $50,000 players championship, and jumped straight into this $1,500 tiddler.

[tikay]

Knocked in 5,500 in a three way coup where I should probably have jammed or folded, but I called instead then got stranded on the low only draw on the turn when fella sets me in.

Misplayed that badly, and now we are back in the poo.

Only takes one mistake, and all that.

Now I need to get jiggy to get back in this.

7,000 @ 150-300.

[tikay]

Level 5 complete, and we had a real Raheem Sterling level.

7,000 going into level 6, 200-400.

Don't have to panic yet, but if a nice spot arises, it'll be heave ho time.

BOOMIO SCOOPIO INTHEIREYEIO 2XUPIO

14,000 @ 200-400 after I grew a pair and took my shot.

This time I must try not to give them away again.

Dinner break in 40 minutes, need to get there safely then re-assess. Need a wee, too, 2 hours between breaks is too long.

[tikay]

Level 6 ends in 20 minutes, we have 35 bigs, which will be 28 Bigs when the next level starts, unless we do a banana.

Hard to tell where we are in this, as the WSOP do not show bustouts until after late reg ends, in 20 minutes, so we have no idea what average is yet. 28/35 Bigs is fine for now though.

[tikay]

Well we made the dinner break safely, though it's not a dinner break as such unless you can eat a meal in 15 minutes.

We set a shortie in just before the end of level 6 and got three quarters, so that's a sort of SCOO.

We go into level 7 (250-500) with 15,900, which is over 30 Bigs, so quite pleased with that after that horrible level 1.

No idea of average stack, but unless over half the field have gone bananas, we are above average.

[Jac]

Good luck Tony

[tikay]

They have just updated the plasma, 732 entries, and surprisingly, only 315 remain, so we are a bit behind average.

Got 17,000 at 250-500, which is 34 Bigs, which is ok for now.

10 levels to be played today, so 3.5 levels of play remain, and play will end around 2am.

[tikay]

Good luck Tony

Thanks Paul (NTTP), how are things with you, all ok? Still golfing at Horsley Lodge?

Rev that diary of yours up, it is much missed.
