Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

More updates:

Plasma reports 336 runners @ 1st break, average 25,500. Nosebleed land here with 39k. A masterclass in donking off awaits.

6 levels in, average is 27k, blinds 400/800, have 44k. Time for a power nap.

Booooommm. Got it all-in with 6-6 v k-k on a flop of 6-5-4. Turn, 3, river 7. Unboooommm. Enjoying this now I have settled down. 53k.

Got myself back into my comfort zone by running K-K into A-A. Blinds 600/1,200/100 I have 20 Bigs. Much happier now, uphill is better.

Binkage has occurred, doubled when I got lucky with A-J v A-K. Ugly stuff.56k, ave 48k, blinds 800/1,600/200.

Busto, lost the crucial flip. Flip. Might play the Omaha tourney. Or I could read my book on the history of the London Underground. Hmm...



I'm guessing that the history of the London Underground was more appealing.

Well it goes deeper....

Assorted drivel from Vegas, & a few daft photos. Not much poker.....

Brief staking Update. Very brief....

Played two Tourneys yesterday, the $210 NLH, & the $110 6 handed Omaha, both at Caesars. Never troubled the judges in either.

Today, at Noon, it's The Venetian, for the $340.

Out of time here, Tourney Reports & other nonsense later, after I busto the Venetian jobbie.

Have a good day.

Nice blog Jeeves Tikay, I want croissants now.

More Tweets from our intrepid hero:

About to start the Venetian noon $350 deepie, huge field, the atmo is fantastic. So excited that leakage is entirely possible......

Just done 80% of my stack with Q-Q v 8-6. He jammed on the 9-10-j flop, I called, and that was the wrong time to river my 1st set of trip!

Not dead yet, doubled up off 8-6 man, 7,000 now. Trouble is, my accelerator is stuck to the floor. Another 2xup, or a huge crash, is likely

808 runners here, 700 left, and I need a 2xup badly, pete tong is on my case. Plan B is the Caesars 4pm....

There are more stations on my table than on the entire London Underground system. Not me, I am an express train to the terminal. My terminal

This is so much fun. Have fiddled & diddled myself up to 6k without showing down a hand. Just as well, too, as I have not had one yet...

2nd break, 820 began, 420 remain, 600/300/50. My stack is an awkward size. Like, awkwardly small.

329 of 820 remain, and after 6 hours play, am above average at last, with 38k @ 800/400/75. Having an absolute ball here, great tourney.

Had to swerve 15 outs post flop with J-J, but held to 2xup. Step aside Boris the Bullet Dodger.299 left, time to don my dancing clogs.

Ran Q-Q into K-K, which rather silly, down to 22k @ 600/1,200/100. My stack gone up & down like Yoyo Thew on a rollercoaster.

Dinner break here, about 180 remain, and I am trundling along nicely. Sort of. Ish.

Approx 150 left, and SkyBet make me 25/1 to bubble, in from 66/1. The bookies know something.

Outo, busto, broke, ran out of chips, boo! Fell just shy of the cash after a torrid last level. Thank you to the Twitter rail, night all. x


Another EPIC failure.
I'm loving this so far.

I know it would lose everyone a few quid but it would be incredibly funny if you were to brick $10k worth of low buy in comps.

I might use my 1 time for this.

Think Tikay needs to move up to where opponents respect his folds.

[MereNovice]

I think the lack of "speechplay" must be hurting him. They probably haven't been told that he only plays aces.

Perhaps the Blondes there could chip in (no pun intended) and find a t-shirt printing establishment, it might enlighten folk somewhat.

Tough gig, this......

So you're the only one getting a real sweat?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

Sigh, I hate you all. Esp Matt The Evil one.

I may even manage Matt's target, too. If I do, I'll give a little "bonus" Freeroll, just for my, err, wise investors.

Anyway, I'm out of time again, as per usual, but there's some nonsense & blathering from Vegas here.....

For "exciting" poker action direct from my table, "Tony_Kendall" is my Twitter feed. Enlightenment ftw.

Have a good day. I will.
