Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Eventually it gets sorted and play has resumed.

[tikay]

A-3-7-K-K heads up v the elderly lady who raised it up pre and likely has the aces.

Flop is 4-3-3 and a single bet gets it done.

36,000

[tikay]

Raised pot and a mistimed bluff goes badly wrong on the J-6-6 flop as he check raises me and shows jacks full.

29,400.

[tikay]

6 levels complete and 2nd break of the evening.

Blinds are now going 400-800, 40 minute clock, so 37 Bigs.

Registration has now closed.

Plasma may be a bit behind, but it shows 218 entries, of which exactly half (109) remain, so it's an easy to calculate average of 30,000.

[tikay]

Elderly Gent raises and I call with:

 

It comes......

 

He pots it and now only has 4,000 behind.

Decide to fold, might be a bit nitty but I'm not beating much here and don't have the low yet. Makes no sense to go to war for half at best.

[tikay]

Have A-2-3-8-J and see this flop:

3-3-8.

I check call, then bet the 6 turn, he calls.

I bet half pot on the river hoping he has the A-2 but he folds.

31,000, but the average is now 34,063, as there are now only 96 left. Guess the plasma was behind, we can't have lost 13 in the 12 minutes since the break.

24 will get paid.

[tikay]

This is scary aggro, and I get the lot in on the A-2-J flop with 2-2-3-4-5.

He has A-J and a low draw.

Turn is a beautiful 5 for the wheel, river is an ugly Jack to give villain the high.

Ooohhhhh, that would have been a great pot to win.

Chop chop.

GLGL!

Tyson just turned T-Mobile into karaoke after matrixing Tom Schwarz, so off to bed.

[tikay]

Cards gone cold on me, and have dribbled down to 28,100 as we enter level 8 with blinds now 500-1,000.

80 left, average 40,875.

[tikay]

Double suited aces, all black, and I have to let go to a big river bet on this board:

   

He might have bluffed me off there, but I got the feel he had it and was waiting for me.

23,000.

[tikay]

Half an hour ago I was in cruise mode, now I'm half average with 23 Bigs.

No need to panic yet, but can't hang around too long.

72 left.

[tikay]

Updates will be infrequent now, as there are still 4 levels of play remaining today, and my iPad battery is down to 23%.

[RED-DOG]

New bird on the rail. Gwan Tone!

[tikay]

Morning Tom, you are up early.

End of level 9, blinds go 800-1,600 after the break.

Better level.

Had this beauty......

   

And flopped the nuts with nut redraw.....

    

He pots, we go all in, he calls.

He has J-J-J so I have to swerve the pair up.

Turn  

River  

So I catch the straight flush but already had the flush which was enough provided no pair up. He had A2 so I get three quarters.

Then I hit quad aces but can't get rid of 5-6 lady who calls for the low with 3rd nuts so we chop.

56 left (I suspect less) and we have 42,000 which will be 26 Bigs when we resume.
