Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

The glass will be full soon.....

4 limpers then fella with 6,600 (11 bigs) pots it.

Don't think he has much and I isolate with the distinctly moderate A-J-3-4 ccdd & he calls as expected.

Bad read, he has A-K-2-7, no suits.

I get there with 2 pair, there is no low and I bust him.

"Well played you fucking asshole" he bellows as he departs.

Fair comment, fair comment, but I'm here to gamble, and I've seen proper players do it.

It is as close to a flip as you can get, seems fairly standard, I'd have read him for rainbow too.  You get it all the time on stars, the software even tells them that they are a 55/45 dog and it makes no difference.

The average stack is an eye-watering 17 Bigs with 72 players left, and with ranges running so close, especially in Big O, it's roulette for stacks now.

I have 42,000  (21 Bigs), so barely above average.

Just gotta find a nice combo hand now and hope to hold or hit.

If you want some ideas for various things in Seattle then this site has some interesting stuff on it.

If Gill likes her seafood then some of the restaurants on the Waterfront are very good but not too pricey. If you are going to the Space Needle deffo try to book your tickets in advance, I last went about 2 years ago and there were big  queue's waiting to pay on the day. Back then if you collected pre paid tickets you could go str8 up without having to queue again. If you can try to book a specific time to go on the observation deck too.

Knowing you like a nice coffee shop I think you would like this place which is situated close to Century Link Field. Quite old looking and lots of wooden walls and books to flick thru if you wish and abs no music or any other interruptions. Its a 2 minute walk from the main town Centre Light link rail station

Over the road is this place which is a pretty nice way to spend an hour or so

If you wanted to take in a baseball game or even a soccer game at Century Link then those 2 spots are a nice way too spend a few hours, tho the coffee shop might be a little busy on a Soccer or Baseball day.

There are plenty of nice beach/woodland walks to the north of the city too if you wanted to spend the rest of a day doing that. This place is about a 20 min cab ride away to the east of the City Centre and there may be a Light rail link that goes close by too.

Loving it Tony, keep ripping those arseholes.

hi-lo

Facing a raise, I find the perfect hand to go to war, A-2-3-7-K ss, and we get it all in pre.

I have got him at both ends, but he finds Broadway and I am down to 18,000, which is 9 bigs.

Next hand I pot it with A-2-6-7-7 and get called.

It comes A-4-4 and I get the rest in.

My man says "your ace must be better than mine" and folds, showing me A-9. I nod agreement and claim A-K obv.

Back to 39,000, which is 19 Bigs.

56 left.

Spin, spin, spin!

[tikay]

Spin, spin, spin!

That's the plan.

Break now, 3rd of the day.

28,000 @ 1,500-3,000.

Will look for a combo hand in Big O, get it in and see if we can get lucky.

48 left.

[tikay]

Raise pre with A-3-7-J and get two callers.

Flop is Q-Q-9 and its bet, can't call, bugger.

In trouble now.

[tikay]

Limit round, make it 2 bets with the attractive and potent A-3-4-K dd and get called.

Flop is J-10-10 but I'm committed and get the rest in.

He calls with the Broadway draw K-Q, the turn is safe but I hit my chuffing Ace on the river to give him Broadway.

BUSTO.

Was really enjoying that, just as I did on Saturday, but ran out of puff again when it most mattered.

Going back to the room to have a good sulk.

Night all.

[Pompeynick]

Unlucky Tony.
Go again another day, the cards will fall for you soon.
Enjoyable following you as always

[Marky147]

Sticky bun time then.

Unlucky, Tikay.
