Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[SuuPRlim]

gogo team Tikay!

Sorry I been off game with my yoof corry job! I need to think of something good!

[MANTIS01]

I'm up in Walsall, at "The Village", we have no less than ten players in the GUKPT Main tomorrow (today....) , & I will be inteviewing them all to camera, photographing them (lol), blogging, Live Updating, chip counts, & generally "hosting" the Team.

So, I've no idea if I will be there just tomorrow, or until midnight Sunday, hopefully the latter, but I'll be plenty busy, for sure.

MANTIS will be there too, which I'm pleased about, I've not seen him in an age, & he is grand company, nit at all what you would expect.

Happy to stay as long as it takes, but once the last of them busts, I'll be out of there, heading home, it's been a full week, as busy as I can recall.

I've got a few stakes in the Main, too, "live" ones, too, so at least I have some personal interest, as well.

Would have been nice to play the DTD £150 - it has Late Reg until mid-evening Saturday I assume - but that would be unlikely, & mixed blessings, as I'd like at least one of our guys to make Sunday.

I arrived here at around 7.20pm, & Thewy had paid me in the £200 6 Max, a perfect way to relax for the evening.

Bumped into Tim Blake & Mrs B, Jaffa Cake, 77Dave, Dena, Stu Fox, Scotty77 (doubled up third hand with flopped nuts), & the usual crew. Was grand to see everyone, & the atmo was much better than I expected, quite friendly & relaxed actually. Not many runners though, around 60+ tonight, & they were setting the line @  160 runners for tomorrow. 

Loved my starting table, & got busy early, & got the worst of the early exchanges & my 10,000 was soon 6,500 after I made a play which went pete. No worries, Thewy was on the table, he's always ready to give me a spin.

Soon I find  & make it 250 @ 50-100. It's flatted in mid pos, then Thewy, on the button, makes it 800.

I make it 2k, mid pos quickly folds, Thewy dwells & makes what looked like a sigh call. So, about 4,400 in the middle, & I have 4,500 behind. Not much wriggle room there. 

It comes 

Me to act.

Well the plan was to jam any flop unless I smack it hard, (well actually the plan was for him to fold pre, but never mind), & as I missed the lot, & the plan said shove, I shoved.

Thewy gave it a good 90 seconds, & we have a bit of speech. "I can beat the 2" he says. Umm.....

He eventually calls (leaving him around 4k behind, so still a playable stack, which is relevant I think), & he has the 3-3.

It blanks out, "gg".

Guess I got owned! These lads can't half make good calls, though I guess my hand looks exactly what it is. 

As played (badly, probably) once we see the flop, I either shove & hope, or check fold/check call  his assumed jam, neither of which much appealed.   

Early night then.

Is that some kinda subliminal rubdown?

See you there later today fella. Gotta buy Celtic dinner so could be an expensive day.

Tayseer won a Stewards' Cup for David Nicholls. Your man named after him?

Golf any time this summer ta. So much better than poker. Even Nirvana managed to par four holes on the spin around the turn at South Beds yesterday.

Yep, would be fun if you played - you can share my buggy if you like and I can help you to your ball etc

After yesterday, I did start to wonder how awesome at golf I'd be if I'd had even a single lesson or played more than every coupla years. Probably woulda made the pro circuit

Is that Ryan on the right?  Probs wouldn't be able to get a better picture of him anyway if it is.
