Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

In from Thirsty Thursday and was expecting loads of arse ripping and scoopio (spelling?..dont play that mickey mouse game) smashing to see. Will have coffee now, and hopefully wake up to shit loads of pages to read. Or else.

Good Luck...lets go...etc etc etc.

 

Thanks Alan.

Did I back the winner in today's Forum Comp? I'm due, think I'm on a 9 day losing streak.

Start of level 2 ( no meaningful action yet) and it's all kicking off between Greece in seat 2 and Fu Manchu in seat 6.

They were heads up in a 3 bet pot which had been bet every street.

The board ran out a club flush, and after the action was complete Greece says "nut flush" but does not show.

Fu Manchu mucks, but Miami in seat 3 wants to see the winning hand.

Greece started to say " I don't have to s......" but by now Dealer had flipped his cards over.

He had 4 red cards.

Lots of hooting and hollering ensued, with added finger pointing, 5 folks arguing (including one from the adjacent table). Baby Floor was called, then Medium Floor, now Daddy Floor has been summoned.

Very fun.

Can't wait to get out there for some of this

Nothing to report first 2 levels, though we lost 15 minutes due to the Greek tragedy.

Level 3 now, 200-300, and just played my first pot of any note.

Raised to 600, and we go 4 way to the flop on my button.

Flopped a big draw and it was checked to me so I bet half pot. They all call, eek.

Turned the nut flush and bet three quarters pot, 2 callers.

Bet half pot on the (high) blank river and they all fold. They were all drawing to the low presumably.

24,900 from 20,000 starting.

Decent table until now, all recreationals, but seriously good and aggro lad who I know from previous trips and wins plenty has just joined us.

He goes for chips early and is hapoy to re-enter multi times. He's a bugger to play if he gets a stack early, really aggressive. And promptly gets a full double very first hand.

Level 4, 200-400, 22,900.

83 entries so far.

Table is playing very fast in both senses. Good fun.

Monster pot, and I'm all in on the turn heads up.

I had......

 

And saw this flop of dreams....

   

Bet, call.

Turn,  

He bets pot, I 3 bet, we are all in.

I don't have a thing, but I don't half have a bunch of improvers.

Any non paired river gives me something. Any non pairing high gives me a scoop or chop, any high heart is a scoop, any non pairing low heart is three quarters minimum, any non pairing low is half or quarter. Or something like that.

On their backs, he has K-K-K.

Careful now Dealer.......

River is an off suit 5 and we chop.

What a spot that was. Could so easily have doubled or bust.

26,000 as we approach level 5.

[Marky147]

Booooo!

[tikay]

First break, and that's my table, right in front of that bar/eatery, which has bad acoustics and full on music, and behind me is the Soorts Book with commentary of 3 baseball games and the NBA play off (GSW v Raptors?) at max volume, it's not a great spot really, the noise is deafening.

[tikay]

Booooo!

Some spot that, I could so easily have gone bust, but I think it was right to get it in on the turn as he does not pay me off if I hit a gin river. Think I was favourite, but there were a whole bunch of chops.

[tikay]

Level 5, 300-500.

Aggro Man went busto, then drew same seat when he re-entered.

[Marky147]

Definitely. You have to spin, to win

Incred he gets sent straight back to the same seat. Can't be right, surely?

Dint think he should get that seat and two players commented but Dealer was not interested and nobody pressed the point. I never got involved, not keen on arguing these sort of things at the table.

I don't really mind, he a pain to play against but if we can hit a hand against him he'll pay us off light.

Found the Aces for the first time, suited and with a 4, raise it up pre, flop the flush draw and bet, 2 callers.

Turn is real ugly, I can only chop at best now if they are both on the low so I have to let go.

Goodbye 4,800 chips, and we are back to ~20,000. Can't do much about those spots, and best to let go before we get in too deep.

Insta bounce back to 26,000.
