Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Russia (wearing shades) bullies once too often, moving all in with 2 pair v Mr Greenstein.

Barry calls with the wrap and gets there.

Russia not out, but is severely wounded.

Shame Tony G isn't at the table.

Good luck in this tikay.  I don't usually get to read the updates until the day after the tournament so I get to read the updates as they happen tonight.

Stop using your cunning plan of making the returns spreadsheet easy to calculate.

I remember sitting with a snarly Russian in DTD who I'd never laid eyes upon years ago and the first words he said to me after I raised his BB were <insert Russian accent here> "you are big shit".

I reckon it's probably him and you should excercise a large portion of revenge on my behalf.

In all seriousness if you don't rip "Tim Hi Diddly Hi Flanders" a new asshole I'm giving up

Tim Flanders has a very resilient arse in my experience.

First break over, level 3 about to start.

9,100.

[tikay]

My Big Blind, a raise a and 3 callers.

I decide I just about have the price to call, with:

 

We see this flop:

  

So, flopped wheel and nut flush draw. I can't fold here as played.

Bla bla, he has the  , and I fail to find the spade.

That is a big blow, and I am down to 4,525 @ 75-150.

Not terminal, still have 30 Bigs, but will need to get busy earlier than usual.

Still, arguably easier decisions now.

[tikay]

I actually thought the other guy may also have A-5, and I don't want to call to chop, but the spades mean I have a free roll.

That was the plan, anyway.....

Tim Flanders has a very resilient arse in my experience.

Guess I had better investigate.

[tikay]

Ranges widened considerably now.

Played 3 hands in a row, ran into a flopped boat in the first but took the other two down to move back up to 6,000.

[tikay]

Oh my.

Look away now.

[tikay]

Barry Greenstein opens to 500, new player pots it.

I have;

 

OK, let's do this.

I make it 4,025.

My man shoves.

I call.

He has the somewhat optimistic:

 

I'm loving life.

Or i was until I saw the flop.......

[tikay]

 

He has flopped the straight.

Yikes.

I do have the re-draw to the higher straight with my Q-J though.

Unforch, the turn is another 10.

Boo.

[tikay]

And the river is the THIRD ten. (My aces can't be seen in this photo).

Get outa here, punk.

oioi
