Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Gotta go, play starts in 30 mins & am gonna play properly today, & quit this laggy nonsense. I'll be back. Quite soon, I imagine.

Enjoy your Friday evening.

There was a lovely Chinese lass on my Table, she was playing Chinese Poker on her i-Pad with another Chinese chap on the adjacent Table, if that makes sense.

They were laughing & lolling, & exchanging comments across the Tables, all good.

I think she, & he, combined, must have said "sick", or "so sick", sixteen trillion times. Think the kids really do need to get a bit more creative with the lingo.

Wonder how many times "sick" or "so sick" has been typed in Online Poker chatboxes?

Come on guys, toddle on, next hand, it's poker, it happens.

I adore watching & listening to all these different characters at Live Poker though, & all the standard poker nonsense, sick, super sick stuff. It's the nuts. It's all rather jolly & enjoyable.

I'm sick.

Well, actually I'm not, I'm ill.

Well, a bit ill.

[tikay]

So much for sitting quite early......

First hand I run J-J into Aces, and only lose 1,500, the kids will have fun with that, and rightly so I guess, a half decent player really should lose more there.

Still, the chips saved came in handy, as I flopped a house with 4-4 next hand, a flush rivered, and the hoodie wearing yoof,   complete with shades and backward baseball cap, jammed all-in on the river with his J high flush. I hero'd, eventually.

Think I'll go back to my room for a lie-down, I feel quite dizzy.......

[tikay]

Get me off this table, please, Kev O'Leary is killing it!

He has been running bluffs galore and showing, with added verbals, and it is paying off big time.

He flops top set, bets out, Kid jams all in on him with tptk, Kev gets the lot.

He has - had - been mercilessly picking on one dude time after time, it was cruel but beautiful. Kev turns a bad flush and jams, the poor lad snapped - in both senses! He had 1 pair, and no outs.

We began with 15k, we are just starting L3, and he must be north of 70k.

I don't have any ego  issues, I'm  staying well out of his way, he is too hot for me, help yourself Kev, I'm singularly I'll- equipped for willy waving contests.

Well hurry up if you are, because you know me, I tend to go busto soon after the Dinner Break!

There were 273 runners (I think), 74 remain, Blinds are 600-1,200/100, & I have 40k. Not so much crushing, as gently leaning on people.

Re the staking for this trip - I did send you a message as I was interested but didnt see anything posted about it. I guess I've missed the "opportunity" this time.

All returns from the previous trip were paid.

Shame you missed Luke Schwartz on the show last night. Or didn't miss...

Ahh, sorry I missed the message, I'm really struggling to keep up with everything right now.

Happy for you to have a "fun" sweat if you wish, if so, we should begin as & from tomorrow, there's not much point you buying a share of my first 5 (busto) Tourneys!

The remaining schedule for me is.......


Saturday 12th - $340

Sunday 13th - $1,070

Monday 14th - $340

Tuesday - $340, but will probably swerve it & play the $550 PLO instead.

Wednesday 16th - $340

Thursday 17th - $340 Noon, OR $340 PLO8

Friday 18th - $550

All the $340's are re-entries, but I've never needed a 2nd bullet yet, & am unlikely to, am too nitty, but if taken, will assume cost to be added. The ones dearer than $340 are NOT re-entries.

It is not impossible that I may decide to stay on & play the $2,500 on Sunday 20th, but only if I win a seat in the Saturday $275 Super Sat.

You can take a bit of the whole package, or mix & match to suit yoiuself, up to you. If it's a bit pricey, no worries, & even if you only want 1%, it's fine.

I think it may not be wise to include my cash games, even though they are currently the only way I'm getting any cake, but it gets awkward, not knowing how much I'll invest, & also, it can't be validated, unlike the Tourneys where I keep all the receipts.

Payment can wait until I next see you if you so wish - you have AAA+ Credit Rating from Moody's & S & P, just like Lehman Brothers did.......

PS - Really appreciate the help you gave to Cos Senior with his internet connection, etc.

Not gonna be able to make it over. Please make day 2 teeks, wanna do some railing tmrw while most likely also crushing the 340.

Dom was on the next Table, & it was abso hilarious, he really is the Vegas version of angry Greg Raymer, getting plent of abuse, & dishing it back with some added. He has HUGE spirit & heart, he really has.

Ok snap going on a diet...

Will try. 40 left, I have 52k @ 1,200/2,400/300.

The tourney was briefly suspended after a comical episode which resulted in a complete new table being created.........there's right ructions going off now.

I had a couple of deep runs like that last year busting just short of the $$$ and found it a bit soul-destroying.

It sounds like you at least got a min-cash though for your twelve hours graft.

GL tomorrow,
